NEW YORK. Was just wondering if signatures by both parties on a lease need to be notarized. Thanks!

The lease would be for storage space rental in the garage of a private home.

My response:

Neither a notary or a witness is necessary to a valid contract. While it couldn't hurt, and could make things easier if you anticipate a "it's not my signature" defense in court, it's not necessary for the validity of a "bailment for hire contract".
