    Authorization for Property Manager to Act on Behalf of Owner_.pdf
    Exhibit E is an Agency Agreement and Authorization for Property Manager to Act on Behalf of Owner, a certification for lessors in government lease agreements. Its purpose is to confirm that an agent signing a lease or supplemental agreement on behalf of the property owner has the legal authority to do so. The owner certifies the agent's full empowerment to act in all lease-related matters, including signing agreements, collecting payments, managing maintenance, and releasing obligations. This document ensures the validity of agreements within government RFPs, federal grants, or state/local RFPs by verifying the agent's legal standing.

    The provided document, "CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION," is a crucial component in government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs, specifically designed to verify the authority of individuals signing lease agreements on behalf of entities. It includes two distinct sections: a Corporate/LLC Certificate and a Partnership Certificate. The Corporate/LLC Certificate requires the certifying individual to identify themselves as a secretary or principal, confirming that the signatory for the lease is authorized by the governing body and acts within the scope of the entity's powers. The Partnership Certificate requires a general partner to certify that another general partner, who signed the lease, possesses the authority to bind the partnership as per their Partnership Agreement. Both sections require a date and a seal, ensuring legal validity and accountability. This document's purpose is to establish clear authorization and legal standing for lease agreements within government procurement processes.
