Matt agrees to lease his guest-house to his best friend, Ben. The lease agreement is never put in writing, but they verbally agree that Matt will lease the guest-house to Ben for one year; and Ben will pay three months rent, $6,000, up front. Ben pays Matt the $6,000, moves in, and begins to repaint and redecorate the guest-house. Matt then learns his friend, Jimmy, is willing to pay double the amount of rent as Ben and wants Ben to move out.

True or False: Ben can enforce his lease agreement with Matt.
