Quick Summary

A landlord used stamped paper for a rental agreement, but the tenant's son, who is over 18, signed it instead of the tenant. The landlord is seeking advice on whether this agreement is legally valid. The consensus is that if the son was an authorised representative, the agreement could be valid. However, clarification is needed on whether a new agreement is required or if the original can be re-signed by the tenant.

The rental agreement should be between landlord and the tenant.if either party is represented by its authorized representative then it can be held as legally valid.
