<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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<o:p></o:p></p>
