This document, Exhibit D, outlines certificates of authorization for entities acting as Lessors in a lease agreement. It provides two main certification types: one for Corporations/LLCs and another for Partnerships. The Corporate/LLC Certificate requires an individual, typically the Secretary or a principal, to certify that the person who signed the lease on behalf of the entity had the authority from its governing body and acted within the scope of its granted powers. The Partnership Certificate requires a General Partner (Partner X) to certify that another General Partner (Partner Y) who signed the lease had the authority to bind the Partnership, as vested in them by the Partnership Agreement. Both certificates require a date and a seal.
Exhibit E, titled "AGENCY AGREEMENT / AUTHORIZATION FOR PROPERTY MANAGER TO ACT ON BEHALF OF OWNER," is a certification form designed for lessors to formally attest that their property manager or agent is legally authorized to act on their behalf in all matters pertaining to a property lease with the U.S. Government. This document is crucial in government leasing processes, such as those found in federal RFPs, ensuring that the individual signing lease agreements, supplements, and amendments has the explicit authority from the owner. The certification covers the agent's power to collect moneys, manage premises maintenance, and sign releases of obligations, thereby binding the owner to the lease terms and ensuring all requisite actions can be performed by the agent.
