Some leases allow the lessor to obtain a power of attorney to act for the lessee for specified actions. Which statement is true?

• A. It May Grant Limited Power Of Attorney To The Lessor For Specified Actions
• B. It Allows The Lessor To Alter The Lessee's Identity
• C. It Grants Authority To Copy The Lessee's Signature
• D. It Requires The Lessee's Signature For Every Action

Answer: (A)

A power of attorney in a lease lets the lessee authorize the lessor to act on their behalf for defined actions. A limited power of attorney is specifically about giving authority only for those particular tasks within a set scope. That’s why the statement about May grant a Limited Power Of Attorney to the Lessor for specified actions is the best choice: it reflects the intended use—the agent (the lessor) can act on the lessee’s behalf only for the actions spelled out, not beyond them. This does not permit changing the lessee’s identity, nor copying their signature, and it avoids requiring the lessee’s signature for every action since the POA itself authorizes those defined actions to be carried out without individual re-signing.
