Is it illegal for a husband to exclude the wife name on the rental lease without the wifes permission?

Not if you live in a community property state. In a these states identifying one spouse is equal to representing both. If you still feel a need to be named on the lease, I am 100% sure the landlord would have absolutely no problem adding your name!Is it illegal for a husband to exclude the wife name on the rental lease without the wifes permission?
Sure it is, that just protects ';somewhat'; the wife from legal financial liability on the rental contractIs it illegal for a husband to exclude the wife name on the rental lease without the wifes permission?
It is not illegal. However, there is usually a clause in the lease that states that anyone who is residing in the residence is required to be on the lease. So if the wife is living there and not on the lease the landlord could actually evict both for breaking the terms of the lease.





If the wife is not living there and he just has a lease in his name, it is not illegal..but they may have some other issues to work out.
Yes, but that is a mistake by the landlord. Now only the man is responsible for the rent not the wife. You can walk out on your husband at anytime and not worry about paying rent on that unit.
no, but if you tell the landlord you want on the lease he will probably oblige
