Lease Agreement - In the name of Owner or Management Co.?

[Shaun R.]

My partners and I own a few properties and have recently created a separate Management Co. to manage our properties.  Moving forward, do I have the Management Co., be the named party that enters into the agreement with the Tenant?  Or do I still list the Owner as the party entering into the contract with the Tenant?

@Shaun R.

Most states require a lease to identify the owner of a leased property, whether a person, trust, LLC, IRA, etc.

Landlord = Lord of the Land = Owner

Agent = someone legally representing the owner

Property Manager = Agent
