Are lease contracts required to be notarized?

A notary can play an important role in making sure that a contract is legally enforceable, even if notarization isn't necessary. Just like wills, there is generally no requirement that a contract be notarized in order to be legally binding.

Q: Do all occupants have to be on the lease NYC?

In New York it&#039;s perfectly legal for someone to live with you without being on the lease. If you want to replace roommates or bring in a roommate for the first time, you&#039;re required to inform your landlord but you don&#039;t need their permission as long as you follow the rules.
