Quick Summary

When a property is jointly owned, the rental agreement should ideally be signed by all owners. While one owner can execute the agreement alone if they have a power of attorney from the other owner, this can lead to complications if there are marital disputes. If it's presumed the wife signed on behalf of both, the agreement is likely valid.

No. You and your wife jointly own the flat, the rental agreement should be executed by both of you with the tenant.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 31 March 2023
Your wife alone can enter into a rental agreement provided you have given her a power of attorney deed to do this act on yor behalf too in the jointly owned property.
However she cannot act on her own or collect the rental amount for herself.
All these things will be okay so long the cordiality is being maintained in this marital relationship, if there is a dispute in this connection then you may have to approach legally to this subject matter.

Yes,any joint owner can execute rental agreement with authority/power of another joint owner.

It is presumed that your wife has executed the rent agreement on behalf of both of you, in that case, there is no problem and the agreement is valid/ perfect.
