Contracts

Vermont contracts for the purchase of real property must be 'in writing' to be enforceable. This requirement originates from:

AVermont's Real Estate Commission rules
BThe Statute of Frauds, which requires certain contracts (including those for land) to be in writing✓ Correct
CFederal real estate disclosure requirements
DVermont's Consumer Protection Act

Explanation

The Statute of Frauds — adopted in Vermont law — requires contracts for the sale or transfer of interests in real property to be in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Oral real estate contracts are generally unenforceable because they lack this written documentation.
