What type of contract?Kansas
If I sign a contract and the other party signs only "XYZ LLC" or whatever the LLC name is; is this a legal contract? Is the other party required to sign their name or is this acceptable?
I cannot imagine any scenario where that would be a legally enforceable contract. The person could sign it, John Doe, President of XYZ LLC, or maybe even John Doe, president of XYZ LLC, for XYZ LLC, but otherwise its not valid.Kansas

You signed the lease agreement even though you questioned the way it was written? I hope you don't intend to have pets.It is a rental agreement that was presented to me by a representative of the LLC. It automatically renews yearly unless notice is given.
I noticed that the area designated for the lessor signature was signed by the LLC, not an actual person. This seemed strange to me and I was hoping it might be a way out without having to wait nearly another whole year.
I'm not much of a writer, but even I can see that it's poorly written. It's full of spelling errors and parts that have been scratched out and other parts that have been handwritten in. As an example, one sentence says that I CAN have a pet and the very next sentence says that I'll be fined if a pet is found. I did sign it, so I'm not sure if all those screwed up parts count for anything or not.
Anyway, the signature or lack of is really what I was wondering about. Thanks.
The importance of reading all contracts carefully before signing is a good lesson to learn, although it tends to be a lesson best learned before signing a contract.I knew some people who recommended this guy, so I skimmed it, but didn't really give it the attention I should have. I noticed most of that stuff later. I don't have or plan to have pets. Lesson learned I guess. I will be fully reading all contracts from here on out. FYI, after I talked to him some, he isn't inexperienced, he is just a moron. I appreciate the replies.
Considering your mistake in signing a contract that you didn't thoroughly read and understand or address, that seems a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.I knew some people who recommended this guy, so I skimmed it, but didn't really give it the attention I should have.

There are certainly similarities.Is this the same matter? https://forum.freeadvice.com/landlord-tenant-issues-42/contract-valid-638939.html
The question was whether a contract can be valid with only one signature. The answer to that question is "yes." In fact, a contract can be legal and binding with no signatures at all (oral contracts).I will agree IF you signed the LLs offer then it's most likely a deal ...you accepted it and you performed under it .
WIth one or two points to cross check....some leases are written such that they are not valid until signed by both parties and if the author put in such language and then created an ambiguity as to LLs signature the LL has a problem , he wrote the lease!
In my jurisdiction, I don't know about yours, if the named lessor did not hold a required regulatory license to rent units , the unlicensed lessor might also run into enforceability / validity problems .
It may be simpler and safer to negioate an early exit...get it in clear plain English writing this time !
