D. no, as the 6 month period had elapsed, the agreement was not enforceable

Answer 1

Yes, if the agreement was in writing, it would be enforceable. Option (A) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The neighbor would have recourse in this situation. Option A, yes, if the agreement was in writing, it would be enforceable, is the correct answer. In contracts law, a written agreement is generally considered to be more enforceable than an oral agreement, as it provides a clear record of the terms agreed upon by the parties involved.

Enforceability means that an agreement consists of the necessary components in order to be able to be imposed under law. Depending on the type of agreement, these components can vary. If only one vital part is missing or wrongly written, the agreement may not hold up in court.

Agreement- An agreement is every promise or the set of promises that form the consideration for each other. Enforceable by law- When these promises are held valid in the court of law and the parties of the Contract can be held liable to complete their promises, the Contract is enforceable by law.

A contract can either be written or verbal, and while both can be legally binding, some contracts are required to be written in a designated format to be enforceable.
