You are not legally required to have the lease notarized, but you may choose to if you believe there may be an issue with the tenant possibly lying about their identity.

Hello, I have just created a lease agreement. Is it recommended to have this notarized?
I understand the importance of ensuring your lease agreement is legally sound. Have you already signed the lease agreement?
No, I will be the landlord. I have not secured a renter yet.
Is the property located in a state that requires lease agreements to be notarized for validity?
I am not sure. The state the property is located in is Arkansas.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your lease agreement.
That is it.
