What Is a Lease or Rental Agreement?

A lease or rental agreement is a binding contract between a landlord and a tenant that outlines the terms of occupancy, payment, duration, and responsibilities of each party. Notarization ensures that the document is properly executed and can be relied on in legal disputes.

We notarize:

• Residential lease agreements
• Commercial property leases
• Sublease agreements
• Lease extension and renewal agreements
• Lease termination letters
• Equipment or vehicle rental contracts
  

Why It Needs to Be Notarized

Notarization gives your agreement:

• Verifies the identity of both landlord and tenant
• Confirms mutual consent to the terms
• Prevents disputes over unauthorized changes or claims of coercion
• Strengthens enforceability in legal proceedings
• Often required for certain commercial property or multi-party arrangements
  

What It Includes?

A notarized lease or rental agreement generally includes:

• Full legal names and signatures of both parties
• Description of the rental property or asset
• Rent amount, due dates, and payment terms
• Duration of lease or rental period
• Conditions for renewal, termination, or penalties
• Notarial certificate with official stamp and date
  

When to Use It

You should consider notarization when:

• Renting out property to someone you don’t know personally
• Subleasing a unit or space with multiple parties involved
• Creating a long-term commercial or equipment lease
• Amending or terminating an existing rental agreement
• Ensuring the lease is enforceable if challenged
