If a commercial lease names an incorrect tenant (say, “Green Group, LLC” instead of “Green Store, LLC”), does the LL have a basis to sue the signatory personally? In this case, the true name is pretty easily identifiable with a simple state entity search. Also, no personal guarantee in the lease.

It depends, but absent some bad faith on the tenant side, I’d consider it to be a weak argument. Call it a scrivener's error and move on. Landlord’s counsel also has some egg on their face. That’s an embarrassing mistake for them.

1) No personal guarantee then would need to pierce the veil. Heavily dependent on actions by tenant and how they held themselves out as a tenant personally and not as the LLC.
2) Even if the lease names the incorrect entity and the LL counsel is suing say for back rent, you can still sue the correct entity for quantum meruit and unjust enrichment as I understand it. An entity cannot just stick its tongue out and receive a free benefit based upon an incorrect spelling in a lease. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

Do you review the other side’s escrow instructions and provide comments? 4 years in and I’ve never done this. Working for a new partner and she insists on doing so “in case there are competing instructions” but isn’t that the entire point of funding through an escrow agent/title company?
