Property owners perform a due diligence to assess the risk of default by verifying a prospective lessee's financial profile. In addition, licensees may work for either owner or lessee. Owners or lessees may officially authorize a real estate agent, attorney, legal guardian, trustee or personal representative to do something is a licensee.
The owner may be an individual, business, or trust. Prospective lessees may verify ownership, and one method is searching within a County website. If lease transaction involves a licensee, the owner or lessee may review information for that licensee having an affiliation with that person.
