Chapter 72A — Leases

ORS 72A.2040 Formation in general

(1)

A lease contract may be made in any manner sufficient to show agreement, including conduct by both parties which recognizes the existence of a lease contract.

(2)

An agreement sufficient to constitute a lease contract may be found although the moment of its making is undetermined.

(3)

Although one or more terms are left open, a lease contract does not fail for indefiniteness if the parties have intended to make a lease contract and there is a reasonably certain basis for giving an appropriate remedy.
