Legal Question in Business Law in Arizona

lease agreement

l own a laundromat in Arizona. The lease assignment copy that I have is signed by me, my husband and the sellers. The landlord's signature is not on my copy which is dated and valid as of the day all the other parties signed. It is valid if he did not sign at that time and our copy is not signed?

Re: lease agreement

Did the landlord sign the original lease assignment and just not your copy, that is the question? If the landlord did not agree to the assignment, and thus did not sign any copy, the validity of the assignment depends upon what the legal issue is that has been raised. You should consult with an attorney and give all of the facts and circumstances, plus determine what the real issue is regarding enforcement of the assignment.

Re: lease agreement

If the lease is signed in counterpart, that is, if you take all existing copies and put them together, and together they contain all signatures, then it is valid as far as signatures are concerned. By the way, who prepared the assignment? What do you want to do? Do you want to get out of the lease? Do you want to enforce the lease? There is every possibility that the answer you want is related to the lease as a whole and not contingent on only the answer to your question about signatures.
