Is a lease binding if you do not know who owns property?

The owner of property that includes rental units may appoint an agent to manage the property and will give that agent certain legal powers to act on behalf of the fee owner. Sometimes there is a recorded instrument that sets forth the name of the management company. If a management company has been properly appointed a lease executed by it would be binding on the lessee even if not signed by the actual property owner. On the other hand, if the lease was executed by a person other than the owner who does not have the legal authority to execute a lease on behalf of the property owner then the lease may be invalid. You could check in the city assessor's records and in the land records for the owner of the property. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your area who could review the lease for validity.

Yes, the lease typically remains valid even if the rental property is sold.

What is the difference between operational lease and finance lease?

The key difference between a finance lease and an operating lease is whether the lessor (the legal owner who rents out the assets) or lessee (who uses the asset) takes on the risks of ownership of the leased assets. The classification of a lease (as an operating or finance lease) also affects how it is reported in the accounts. The differentiation is mostly important for accounting , taxation and financial reporting purposes.
