Signing lease with power of attorney

[Ashley V.]

I have a new tenant signing a lease in the next couple of days. The wife is available to sign in person but not the husband (he works off shore). The wife says she has his power of attorney to sign on his behalf - do you think this is ok? I just wanted to make sure I am protected since he is the primary source of income. If her signing as power of attorney is ok, do I need to make a copy of the power for my documentation?

Did you actually see a signed, notarized power of attorney?
