Possession By A Tenant Under A Lease Not Complying with the Statute of Frauds

Where a person enters into the occupation of premises under a lease which fails to comply with the provisions of the statute of frauds, the problem as to his legal status arises.For example, L orally leases a store to T for a term of ten years at a stated rental.Such a lease violates the statute of frauds but despite that fact T goes into possession and pays rent.What relationship arises between L and T? If the relationship is that of landlord and tenant, what are the character and terms of the tenancy?The answers to these questions constitute the scope of this note.
