If you wanted to be really thorough, you could get it notarized, but that has never been required of me before so I would skip that.

You can arrange a Power Of Attorney in advance (and it will probably have to be notarized and publicly recorded) to have somebody act in your behalf.

Here are a few things I would suggest when renting a place.•Fill out a walk through form; if they don’t provide one make your own.•Once filled out sign it and have it notarized (this will help validate the time frame in which you filled out the form from the date you moved in.)•Make two copies and do two things 1) take one to the management company and hand it to them, and 2) send a copy certified mail and once the return slip comes back file it with your original walk through form (this proves someone in that office signed for that letter).•Take pictures of any problems in the rental, with date and timestamp.

I have used notarized agreements of sale for personal property for buying houses where the seller leaves all the stuff behind (CYA tactic, so that I can toss into the dumpster what is now my property).

I have the Title notarized as well as my purchase agreement contracts.

Do these need to be notarized or filed with county?

If not are you panning to get it?
