An agreement for one year lease, to begin one month after the agreement, must be in writing.
True or false,
The answer is false.
If your lease is for exactly one year, or less than one year, the law does not require it to be put in writing. A lease for less than one year can be orally agreed to between a landlord and tenant (often called a “handshake” agreement), as long as the landlord and tenant agree on basic terms.
A written agreement can act as a roadmap for the landlord-tenant relationship, especially if a dispute arises. Also, real estate (land) leases for more than one year must be in writing. If a lease for over one year is not in writing, it will generally not be enforceable in court.
