A spouse does not have any special right to deal with titled property real or personal. If you are renting property from someone, be sure that they are either the owner, the agent of the owner, or have a power of attorney. Where real property is concerned, oral agency agreements are rarely sufficient.

No, if you do not own it you can not rent it out, even if your husband or wife own it.
This sounds like part of a bigger problem. Why don't you give me a call (the call is free) and we will talk about it.
