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?
