    Default Adding my name to my wife's lease

    State = Virginia

    Hi,

    My wife got an apartment in her name. We were seperated for several months and I lived elsewhere. I want to move in with her at this point, but need to add my name to the lease.

    The problem is that my credit is pretty BAD.

    I have heard that there are laws out there which apply to this situation which indicate that I cannot be excluded as a spouse, nor could a rent increase transpire instantaneously.

    I will need to know the following to determine how to proceed:

    1) Could I be denied the ability to add my name to the lease?

    2) Could the Management Company impose a rent increase on the spot for this?

    3) Could they charge me fees beyond my application fee to move in based on my negative credit?

    I would like to have as much information as possible before walking into that office.

    Hours of searching the Virginia Statutes have yielded no results.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Default Adding name to lease

    Because it sounds like you are saying "need" where you mean "want".

    Sir,

    This is a need as opposed to a want. That "need" is a personal one. If I can't ask a legal question without keeping a level of privacy, then maybe I shouldn't have posted here.

    Thank you for your time.
