Must the property owner be the "landlord" on a commercial lease?

I personally own a commercial property. I also have a mangement company, an LLC. Can the LLC enter into the lease on my behalf rather than have my name as Landlord?

Yep. Generally speaking, the "landlord" can be anyone that the property owner authorizes to manage the property.

Our law firm has seen several commercial leases that the landlord ended up wishing were written differently from the start. It's a really good idea to have a lawyer draft your lease.
