Lease Signature line as LLC member
Hello All,
I own few properties which are titled under my LLC. I am now wondering if I have been signign my lease the right way. So, The first line of the lease lays out the parties- "Landlord and Tenant", where the Landlord is mentioned as the LLC. I believe that is the right way since the property owner is the LLC not me. But, what I am wondering is, on the bottom of the lease, under the signature line should I write the LLC name or my name, since I am the one who is actually signing it?
also, If the me and my wife both are th emember of the LLC do we both need to sign all the leases or just one of us can sign?
Thank you,
Sunny R

Always make sure your signature line shows your representative capacity of the entity.
So it would read "NewCo, LLC" x__________ by [printed name], it's authorized representative/manager/ CEO-whatever your title.
Don’t put “owner” as an “owner” can refer to a sole proprietor or unincorporated entity. (Source: I’m litigating against that claim right now)
As for who must/can sign -check your organizational docs for who has authority to bind the entity.
