Signature dates on lease extension

[ClareG]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

I had a one year lease that my landlord and I extended twice.

In both cases I wrote an extension and signed and dated it on the last day of the previous lease/extension. I then mailed it to the landlord who dated and signed it using the same date I did. But the landlord does not live locally so actually signed it a few days after and backdated it.

Would this invalidate the lease extension?

Thanks!

you both entered into the agreement willfully. are you trying to get out of the lease using the date as reason. it will not happen. enjoy the apt.

**A: the answer is no. The lease would still be enforceable even if there was no signature date.
