I signed a lease agreement stating I'd pay rent for a year for an art studio...the contract says "Jane Doe/Doe Art Gallery" but an employee signed in the owner's place as a "witness" not a "leasor" or "gallery owner". Do i still have to pay until my contract runs out? The contract didnt say I signed an agreement with "Jane Doe/Doe Art Gallery's Employees".
 
The employee signed as the landlord's agent.
At least that is what will be said when this puppy goes to court.
If you doubted the authority of the agent to sign for their employer, why didn't you object at signing?
Its too late to object now.
Even if the employee was not authorized to sign for her boss, the law has now constructively created a lease for both of you.

Your recent protestations notwithstanding, your actions have contradicted your current belief.

The only way out of the lease before its expiry date, is to bargain with the landlord for an early out.
But, if offered, get it in writing.
 
Sigs on contract

What if the employee signing for the landlord, signed on a blank that was labeled "Witness" and did not sign on a blank that says "Landlord"?

Also, I have the original contract. Even if the landlord were to add her name to the contract later, doesn't it need to be on the original contract?
 
You used the facility for some months. You have a constructive lease. The time to point out the signature flaw was immediately after it happened. You can't use it now to void the lease. That ship sailed 8.5 months ago.
