Compromis de vente
"Le VENDEUR déclare que le bien faisant l'objet de la présente vente n'a jamais fait l'objet de location, **de son chef ou de son auteur**"
I've put:
"The SELLER declares that the property to which the present sale pertains has never been leased either by himself or on his instructions"
is this close enough or is there a better rendering of "de son auteur" ?

by his client or its author
chef: boss (in this case, the seller's client)
It means that this good was never leased by the seller's client or by the one who put together the good. I'm translating it as author because I understand that this is a piece of art they are selling.

: nope. chef is not boss. I have the general impression you are completely misreading the French.

It's one of those two pronged expressions. Failing a standard translation why not keep your 'instructions' and say something like on his authority or instruction'?
Only a suggestion.

: Agree with "on his behalf", but you need to enter your suggestion instead of "see explanation" or this will not be a searchable entry
