[RPPTL LandTen] Evidence of Authority of Tenant to Sign Lease

[Arthur J. Menor]

For those of you on the transactional side, I have the following issue.  When representing landlords, we require the tenant to provide a resolution or other evidence that the individual signing the lease for the tenant has the authority to do so.  Recently, we have had a lot of push back from brokers and tenants who chafe at this requirement and say it is not "market".  I am curious about how other leasing lawyers view this issue
