Yes, in Pennsylvania a contract to lease is legally binding once both landlord and tenant agree to the essential terms (rent, property, and lease duration) and sign the agreement. Leases longer than one year must generally be in writing to be enforceable under the Statute of Frauds, and after signing, both parties are bound to the terms unless there is a valid termination clause or another legal basis to end the lease early.
