For what duration must a lease be in writing?

  1. More than six months

  2. Any duration

  3. More than one year

  4. Less than one year

The correct answer is: More than one year

A lease must be in writing for any duration lasting more than one year. This is because, according to the Statute of Frauds, any contract that cannot be completed within one year must be in writing to be legally enforceable. This eliminates options A, B, and D as the lease duration is longer than six months, any duration at all, and longer than one year, respectively.
