Not enough info about if it's an illegal eviction.
I don't know if he can be there in her place - it is possible with a power of attorney, or maybe if it's a community property state, or if they are operating under a company name and they are both principals.

To my understanding according to the law a husband and wife are considered the same person in a case like this, so it will not be thrown out if he is the one who brings it and not her. Especially if the two of them have made documents with both of them being the landlords, even if she was the one who handled taking in the money.
It will be harder for him to win though if he has no idea what was going on to cause it to go this far. You didn't tell in the question what did push it that far, so I don't know how good of a case he's got. But he should still be able to press the matter. The only difference is you have a better chance of winning now.
