If you are processing a marriage adjustment, it should be OK. The interviewing officers take into account many things. If you are missing a joint lease, but have other accounts, taxes, etc., it should be fine.

Not necessarily however, the lease agreement can be amended to add your spouse.

Although it is unclear from your statement as to the "everything" that you have to show a bona fide joint life, going by the presumption that you have at least 3 individual proofs of a bona fide joint life to submit, the fact that you don't have both parties listed on the lease should not be a bar to having your green card petition granted.

There is insufficient information here. The bona-fides of the marriage are much more than just a lease.

If you have other proof that you have a good marriage and live together as husband and wife ( I assume this is what you are trying to prove), it may be ok.

If you have other good evidence of cohabitation and comingling of funds, the lease by itself is not an issue.

Probably not. It depends on all the other circumstances and supporting documents for your application as well as the basis for your application.
