Of course not. It's a felony.

Of course it is. A spouse is not personal property of, and controlled by, the other spouse such that he or she can't own their separate property or rent other property. That went out about the time of the Civil War. Further, being married to someone does not give you any rights to break into someone else's property - the storage facility owner's.

To clarify and correct, my first sentence should read it is NOT legal.
