[WSBARP] Effect of Notarization and Addition of Legal to Lease Subsequent to Commencement?

[Nicole Potebnya]

Dear Sam:



No, you’re not missing anything.  I’d also add a ratification (of the
lease) clause to the Lease Amendment (belt & suspenders).

Listmates,



This is (surprisingly) not an issue that I have had to look into before.
Commercial Landlord and Tenant execute a ten year lease but fail to include
the legal description and fail to have it notarized prior to commencement.
What is the effect of notarization and amending the lease to add the legal
description subsequent to commencement?  Will doing so remedy the issue?  I
would expect that the effectiveness and enforceability of the lease would
be established based on the agreement and reaffirmation of the parties.  Am
I missing something?  Thanks.



Sam
