What is the requirement for oral leases in Georgia for them to be enforceable?

In Georgia, oral leases are generally enforceable if they are for one year or less. This aligns with the Statute of Frauds, which typically requires leases exceeding one year to be in writing to be enforceable. Therefore, an oral lease that is for a duration of one year or less does not fall under this requirement and can be enforced even if it is not documented in writing.

The option indicating that leases must be written is incorrect as it applies only to leases longer than one year. Similarly, notarization and the requirement for two witnesses are not necessary for the validity of an oral lease in this context, making them irrelevant for determining the enforceability of a lease of one year or less. This provision allows for flexibility in leasing arrangements and facilitates informal agreements in shorter-term tenancy situations.
