Legal analysis: 1. The house lease contract can be signed by an agent, but in order to avoid some disputes in the future, it is suggested that the client issue an autographed power of attorney and give a copy of his identity certificate. The client also needs to prepare the original ID card for inspection. A house lease contract is invalid if it is signed without explicit authorization. 2. When filling in the power of attorney, the entrusted matters and the authorized scope of authority shall be indicated. Authorized principals and trustees shall be persons with full capacity for civil conduct. If the lessee or lessor fails to sign the contract and authorizes the client to sign the contract on his behalf, the power of attorney shall be provided and notarized at the notary office if necessary. Legal basis: Article 707 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC). If the lease term exceeds six months, it shall be in written form. Article 707 Where the parties fail to confirm in writing that the lease term exceeds six months, they shall do so in writing. If the parties fail to determine the lease term in writing, it shall be regarded as an indefinite lease. If the lease term is fixed, it shall be regarded as an indefinite lease. Article 710 Where the lessee uses the lease item in accordance with the agreed method or the nature of the lease item, thereby causing losses to the lease item, it shall not be liable for compensation. Article 715 The lessee may, with the consent of the lessor, improve or add the lease item. If the lessee improves or adds other things to the lease item without the consent of the lessor, the lessor may require the lessee to restore the original state or compensate for the losses.
