Unmarried man and woman couldn’t sign a lease or buy a house together. No one enforced it because….cha-ching $. I had one landlord tell me and a girlfriend who were signing a lease for house that we needed to be aware of it. She was still leasing to us but she mentioned it basically as an aside joke.
