Question

Jonas enters into an oral contract with Chelsea to lease his house to her for $100,000. Chelsea pays him $100,000 and moves in. A month later, Jonas learns that his state requires contracts for the lease of goods with payments of $1,000 or more to be in writing. Which of the following options does either party have?

Answer 1

Both parties have to continue with the contract since it cannot be rescinded because it has already been executed, Chelsea is living in the house and Jonas received the money. Since they probably will need a written contract for tax purposes, they can sign a contract with the same terms.
