Lease Agreement Question
My landlord sent me a lease extension letter. The new agreement has a clause that I have never seen before. What does it mean?
''As now provided in the said lease Lessee does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint any attorney of any court of record of any State or of the United States to be his true and lawful attorney for hum and in his place and stead to take,at the time or times, and in the manner specified in said Lease, any one or all of the actions as in said indenture contained.''

Re: Lease Agreement Question
You really need to take your document to an attorney to read as the clause references the lease and any opionon needs to be based on the entire lease.
Re: Lease Agreement Question
You don't have to accept the extension letter if you are uncomfortable with it -- the terms of your current lease will control, until the end date of the current lease. Otherwise, if you do want an extension to the end of your lease, you will need to have an attorney review the entire document to get a better idea of what the clause and the other parts of the document mean.
