Yes. The tenant has the right to request that the owner add the name of his, her or their spouse to the lease as an additional tenant if the spouse resides in the apartment as a primary residence. The owner is required to add the additional names at the time of lease renewal.
Under state law, the owner must provide written consent before the primary tenant can “assign” (transfer) the lease to you. The owner does not need to give you a reason if he or she does not consent to the assignment. For detailed information, check out HCR Fact Sheet #7: Sublets, Assignments, and Illusory Tenancies.
Understanding the Legal Implications And in this case, it means you're both on the hook for the entire rent payment, not just your share. So, even if your ex-roommate skips town, you're still legally responsible for the full rent unless you take some action.
You can stay in a New York City apartment for 90 days without paying rent before the landlord can initiate eviction proceedings against you. This does not mean that that the landlord will take no action prior to the 90-day mark; there are several steps leading up to the eviction notice.
Basically anyone who is living there needs to be on the lease with your approval so that they are clearly held to the same responsibilities to you as any other tenant. You want as many people liable for your property as there are adults living there. Always.
Assign a Lease A tenant may not assign the lease without the landlord's written con- sent. The landlord may withhold consent without cause. If the landlord reasonably refuses consent, the tenant cannot assign and is not entitled to be released from the Lease.
This brings us back to our original question; yes, it's possible to evict without a lease, but there are some conditions that must be satisfied when doing this. And yes, the process still mandates a formal notice be given to the tenant, but the following must also be satisfied.
In most cases, it is possible and easy to add someone to an existing lease if it's allowed by the landlord. However, the landlord will need to write a lease addendum or lease amendment to add new information to the lease that can protect all parties.
If there is no language about when a guest would be considered a tenant then you may have some leeway with letting your girlfriend live with you. Obviously anyone who is living with you is subject to approval from the landlord, but unless it is in the lease it won't be something you can be evicted for.
You are not required to tell you landlord nor can they inhibit the guest from entry. If they ask, you are required to say but nothing actually has to be done during your existing lease. I went through the same thing last year when my gf moved in for a few months, also a rent stabilized place.
