The credit form is asking for a contract with the owner of the off-site property. Do we need a contract between an owner and himself, or a document that states the requirements for the credit and signed by the owner? See below: Upload SSc5-2. Provide a copy of the contract with the owner of the offsite natural area, which details the nature and level of support provided by the LEED project in improving and/or maintaining the off-site natural area.

Aron, I wouldn't try to do a "contract," but draft a document with the management details expected by LEED, with the owner committing to that, and signing it.
