Usually, any/all adults living in leased apartments are obligated to sign the lease. The lease specifies how many adults are living in the residence ... it is their right to know - they are, after all, the owners or managers.

Can you force your landlord to add your same-sex spouse to the lease?

It depends what kind of lease you have. New York City is an example of a jurisdiction where same-sex marriage is legal. If it is a rent-controlled or rent-stabilized apartment, you are entitled to add your same-sex spouse to any lease renewal and there is no mechanism by which the landlord may object. If you live in public housing (e.g. NYC Housing Authority), a same-sex spouse is treated the same as any other spouse and may be added to the household providing there is no violation of regulations concerning criminal records, substance abuse or citizenship. If you live in any other type of apartment (i.e. "fair market" housing), then the answer is no. Your same-sex spouse certainly has a right to live with you. However, the lease is whatever it is. You cannot force the landlord to add anyone to the lease and if he agrees to alter the lease, it is a new lease and the rent can also be re-negotiated. As with all apartments outside of rent control and public housing regulations, when the lease is over, there is no automatic right to renewal.


Can you switch apartments in the middle of your lease without breaking your lease?

Do you mean moving to another apartment owned by the same landlord? If so, then I suppose that the parties have agreed to leave the terms of the lease the same, and just transfer the lease to a different unit. Nothing wrong with that, but it might be a better idea to sign a new lease.

Usually the terms for breaking the lease are stated in the lease itself. However, you can also check the statues for landlord/tenant relationships. Yes, the laws in each state are different. The best action to take is contacting the AG office. This is especially true if you plan to break your apartment lease.
