No, wife has no right of residence in shared household if the same does not belong to the husband or it belongs to someone else.
Batra vs Batra decision squarely applies in your case.

wife has right to stay in matrimonial home if it is owned by husband or he has share in said property . in your case since it is rented place wife can demand alternative accommodation

If husband is residing there then the wife may claim the sharehouse hold otherwise not.
the landlord has right to evict the wife or husband or both of them as per law.

The wife has a claim in the matrimonial house i.e., whereever her husband reside.

The place where the husband resides is considered to be matrimonial home, so she can claim right to residence in that house.
