We rented a home about 6 months ago, and he decieded he was tired of the family life and wants to move on. So he is leaving us penniless and with no available income. He is only thinking about himself and not about where the kids and I will be going. He is trying to rent the house to some other people, out from underneath me so he can get his name off the lease. Since both of our names are on the lease, doesnt he have to have my permission or dont I have to say I want out of the lease also. Can he just get someone else in here and have the management company hand me an eviction notice when hes through. Thank you for taking the time to read my question. I am trying to rent out a room the master at the moment so that the kids and I have a place to stay but its taking a while.

We are only seperated at the moment as I do not have the money to file yet.

I do believe if both of your names are on the lease you are both obligated to that lease unless he moves out and says that your taking over the lease but you would have to agree to that in writing he is trying to save his butt. He knows with his name on the lease he is responsible to pay the rent unless someone else will take it over for how ever long the lease is for. What a coward it sounds to me like he can't handle working to support his family so he trying the easy way out.
Talk to the properties management company and see where you stand if your name is on the property you have just as much right to stay and to read and documentation on the home. Actually he would be in a lot of trouble right now call a
lawyer and just get some advice if you can tell them what is happening and what rights do you have.

You are just renters, not owners of the property, so I don't think you have a legal leg to stand on. And, since you are already penniless, I'm sure the true owner of the property doesn't want you staying there, but rather wants a tenant who can afford to pay the monthly rent.

I don't think what he is doing could be legal. He is breaking the lease regardless if he finds someone to rent it or not. It seems he's leaving so you might want to consider a job or filing for child support.

You need to check with the management company. I don't think he can do that without your permission.
Call them and if he shows the house while you're at home, I would tell people that it is not available.
