Bart leased a piece of land called Blackacre to Aida for two years.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A lease creates both a landlord's estate and a tenant's estate in the property. Therefore, both Bart and Aida have an estate in Blackacre.

Answer: D 
 The Statute of Frauds requires that leases for terms exceeding one year must be in writing in order to be enforceable. Therefore, the lease between Bart and Aida is void unless it is evidenced in writing.

The other answer choices are incorrect:
B) Aida is the tenant, not the landlord, as she has leased the land from Bart. 
C) A non-possessory interest, such as an easement, would not involve exclusive possession of the property, which Aida has as a tenant.
E) The type of ownership that Bart has in Blackacre is not relevant to the lease agreement.
