Sign Lease in front of Notary?
I'm sitting down with a selected tenant to go through the lease with them later today. Should we sign it in front of a notary?

No, but you need to view their ID before signing the lease. I take a picture of their drivers license. That way I know who they are (Patriot Act requires this) and if they ever say it wasn't them who signed the lease, I have reasonable proof that it was them.
