Yes, in Connecticut a contract to lease is legally binding once both the landlord and tenant agree to the main terms (such as rent, property, and duration) and sign the agreement. Leases longer than one year must be in writing to be enforceable. Once signed, both parties are required to follow the lease terms unless it includes a lawful termination clause or another valid legal reason to end it early.
