They can't file eviciton on you because you're not on the lease and they need to find a reason to evict your friend that moved out. They could file eviction on her for breach of contract since she's not staying there anymore. It all depends on how anal the landlord wants to be.

What you have done in effect is sublease the property, which may or may not be allowed under the terms of the lease. Usually as long as the rent is paid, and there are no problems (noise, trash) the property management will look the other way.
Plan on qualifying for your own lease, or moving out, at the end of the lease term!

The complex might not be too happy if they find out the leaseholder is not living there and in fact letting someone else live there and pay rent. They want their money of course, but if you didn't pay one month, your friend would get in trouble not you. They can kick you out since you aren't on the lease, and they'll serve an eviction notice to your friend as well and it will go on her rental history. You're not in the equation, legally.

No, as long as you make your payments on time, they will not evict you. However, if they want to be butts about it, they can request you officially sign a lease with you and your husband on it. But I doubt they will do this because all property mgmt wants is the money. On time, everytime. And don't cause any chaos in the complex. No parties. This will give them reason to want to replace you with other tenants.

you can be evicted as you are NOT on the lease, the apts dont care who the money comes from as long as its paid on the unit, they will apply it to the persons name that is on the lease, your friend has put you in a hard situation, you will not get credit for this on your rental history, when is the lease up, your friend needs to tell the apts that
"she is moving out and give notice" she will be held responsible for anything on that lease as HER name is on it
