Here's what our rental agreement has to say about repairs:REPAIRS.Tenant agrees to notify Landlord of needed repairs to premises in a timely manner by telephone and/or in writing.Tenant agrees not to repair their dwelling or anything belonging to Landlord without prior written consent of Landlord.Landlord retains the right to determine how and when the repair will be done, in accordance with federal, state, and local law and codes.If the need for repair is not due to damage caused by Tenant and/or their guests, Landlord agrees to pay for the repair.If the need for repair is a result of damage done by Tenant and/or their guests, and not that of ordinary wear and tear, Tenant agrees to pay for the repair.Landlord may decide to remove or replace an item, instead of repair.

OCCUPANCY: Only those persons whose names appear on the lease may occupy your apartment without our prior written consent except guests for no more than 7 consecutive or 14 total days within any 12 month period.

You could probably arrange for the property to be moved with consent of the former owner, but bear in mind any undertaking you do towards the property opens you up to liability.

Don't have to be on the deed even to declare it your homestead.It may be splitting hairs, and I may have been unclear in my initial post, but I believe homestead laws are designed in part to protect non-title holding spouses, so if the new wife moves into her husband's house he cannot sell or mortgage without the wife's consent nor can it be forced to be sold to pay involuntary creditors (as opposed to voluntary creditors such as mtg/DOT lenders). 

Change of ownership can cause them to be called without consent.
