The document is an Agency Agreement/Authorization for a Property Manager to act on behalf of the property owner in connection with a lease to the government. It serves as a certification by the lessor, asserting that the designated agent has the authority to sign the lease and manage related affairs, including maintenance, collection of payments, and any necessary amendments. The lessor must provide their name, property address, and the agent’s name, along with a signature and title. This form is essential in confirming the agent’s legal authorization to bind the owner to the lease terms, ensuring clarity in the property's management within the framework of federal government leasing processes. It emphasizes the importance of proper representation and documentation when engaging in agreements related to government contracts.
The document provides a Certificate of Authorization for corporate entities and partnerships regarding the signing of a lease. It includes two distinct sections: one for corporate/LLC certification and one for partnership certification. The corporate section verifies the authority of an individual to sign the lease on behalf of the corporation or LLC, confirming their capacity and the approval from the governing body. The partnership section similarly certifies that the individual who signed the lease is a general partner with the authority to bind the partnership according to the Partnership Agreement. Both sections require the date and an official seal. This certificate holds significant importance in the context of state and local RFPs, federal grants, and other government contracts, as it ensures that all parties involved in the leasing agreements are duly authorized, thus protecting the legal interests of the government and other stakeholders.
