A specimen signature is an official 'copy' of your signature that is kept on file and if needed in the future can be used to verify if a signature is genuine.
The signature on a copy of a document is often referred to as a "signature copy" or simply a "copy signature." It indicates that the signer has authorized or acknowledged the contents of the document, even though it is not the original. In some contexts, it may also be called a "wet signature" if it is physically signed, or simply a "digital signature" if signed electronically.
/s/ on a signature line means that the signature is on the original document, not on the copy that you're holding. It is a representation that the original document is properly signed, but for some reason you only have an unsigned copy of the document. An unsigned copy of a document may be used for reference only or it may be a file copy (when it is not necessary to have a signed copy of the document).

A notary public verifies that a person is who they say they are. <><><> They certify that a signature is that of a given person- and they may certify that a copy of a document is a true copy of an original.
In most jurisdictions, a valid will must be the original document, not just a copy. An original will typically contains the testator's signature and may have specific formalities, such as witness signatures, which a copy lacks. However, some places may allow a copy to be probated if there is sufficient evidence that the original was valid and was lost or destroyed. It's important to check local laws for specific requirements.
I hope you have a copy of the original lease agreement. What she did is not legal.
Print out the document, sign it in ink, and then scan or make a photocopy of the signed paper copy to retain for your records. Keep the original signed document in a secure location to ensure its integrity for legal purposes.
