Question

Which of the following must be in writing to be enforceable by a court?

Answer 1

Answer:

A lease for a period of 24 months.

Explanation:

A court refers to an enclosed space such as a hall or chamber where legal practitioners (judges, lawyers or attorneys and a jury) converge to hold judicial proceedings. Legal practitioners are saddled with the legal responsibility of listening to evidence and give a verdict about legal cases.

A lease for a period of 24 months must be in writing between the lessor (landlord) and the lessee (tenant) to be enforceable by a competent court of law.

Hence, the landlord of a property has the right by law to receive agreed upon rent and to evict tenants when their rent expires.
