Who needs to sign a lease?

The lessor
The lessee
Both the lessor and lessee
A notary public

The correct answer is: The lessor

A lease is a legally binding agreement between a landlord (lessor) and a tenant (lessee) for the rental of a property. The lessor is the owner of the property and is responsible for drafting the lease agreement and ensuring that all necessary information and terms are included. The lessee is the renter of the property and is responsible for agreeing to the terms of the lease and abiding by them. Therefore, in order for the lease to be valid, the lessor must sign it. The lessee's signature alone is not sufficient to make the lease legally binding. A notary public, while helpful in verifying the identities of the parties involved, is not required for signing a lease. The correct answer is A, the lessor.
