Can a husband lease a house out from under the wife who cosigned?

My sister is divorcing her husband, and he tried to lease the house to his brother while she was living in it. What's going to happen?|||If they are both on the deed, or bank note then they both would have to lease it to his brother. If she did not sign the lease, it is not legal.





As for what is going to happen depends on the wife. If she lets him move in, she is going to have to evict him by going through the courts. If she calls the cops before he moves in then the cops can prevent him from moving in. And the case will be between the brother and the husband until the court settles the divorce.





In most cases once the divorce has started, no one can sell or make money off of real property that was bought while the couple was married. Anyone doing so without the written permission of the other is usually going to be in contempt of court and compensatory payment will be made to the other party.|||I agree
