The Statute of Frauds requires certain types of contracts, including contracts for the sale of real estate, to be in writing to be enforceable. Therefore, if the contract for the sale of the apartment is not in writing, it would not be enforceable. Additionally, the fact that Lyra fraudulently misrepresented material facts and falsely stated her commission percentage may also impact the enforceability of the contract. However, the Statute of Frauds specifically applies to the requirement of a written contract, not fraud or misrepresentation.
