I am not legally married to my partner. However, we have been living as man and wife for approximately 30 years. We have a son who is 28 years old. On our bank account, insurance and other documents, we list each other as husband and wife. We just never got around to getting married.
The building we live in is rent stabilized and I am about to renew my lease. Since we just got a new landlord, should I request to my landlord that his name be added to my new lease? Also, can my landlord ask me for a copy of a marriage cerficate?(If necessary,we could make our relationship legal) If something happens to me, I don't want my mother or my partner thrown out of the aparment.
Oh,my son is in the Navy. However, I would like to keep his name on my lease. Is this legal?
Thank you
