Lawyer speak translation please

I sent my tenant an unsigned copy of a lease renewal. He agreed to renew and said "Will revert with the signed copy." Does that mean he wants me to sign before he signs?

FYI he's a lawyer.

Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the person who said it, as opposed to a bunch of random strangers on the internet who, despite the occasional bright spark, simply are not mind readers?

"Will revert with the signed copy." Does that mean he wants me to sign before he signs?

The phrase simply indicates/translates that the person receiving the document will return the signed document at a later date/time.

Its a common way to confirm that he/she/it will complete the signing process and send the SIGNED document back to you, the originator.

The next step(s) upon your receipt of the signed document is (are) yours.

Evict him. He'll be trouble. LOL.

Why don't you ask him what he meant?

And, by the way, the quoted language isn't "lawyer speak."

I suggest you familiarize yourself with all landlord/tenant laws in your state if you're going to rent to a lawyer because you can be sure that he will do the same. You don't want to be at a disadvantage.
