Does a Notary need to notarize the full lease or just the Co-Signer Agreement?
Hi All -
Need help answering this question.
If you have a rental lease for a property in California and the Co-Signer lives in Texas (notary needed) does the notary need to notarize the full lease or is the Co-Signer Agreement enough? Also why would a notary require that there is a notary line to sign on the lease?

Because every signature needs to be notarized; and there needs to be a notary line to witness each signature
To the moron below with the expert opinion.
Every state law is different, in every state I’ve seen documents in, CURRENTLY, there is a notary block.
But then I only do this every day. What would I know.

ask the landlord. they are the one requiring a notary to witness a signature.
Probably only the co signer since your landlord wants some assurance that proper person is signing the document.

A notary does NOT require a notary line, as any document can be notarized.
A notarized document DOES NOT make a document legal.
All a notary does, is verify that they personally witnessed “Jane or John Doe” sign a document, in their presence, and they checked an ID as proof.
That is ALL a notary does.
So, a notary will require all signatures to be on the lease in front of them…if a signature is already on the lease, they won’t notarize it at all.
