Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: Lease's contract

Yes!

An oral (spoken) contract is as valid as a written one, just harder to prove.

Why didn't landlord sign? Did he agree to the lease?

It s hard to give you accurate answers without more facts. But, in general, if you have an agreement, that is you valid contract.

Re: Lease's contract

Landlords sometimes retain the original signed lease and forget to give a copy to the tenants. So the lease might be signed but you might not have a copy of the fully-executed version.
