Does anyone know for certain if a commercial lease is in effect for the term of the lease if it was signed by the landlord, not signed by the leasee, but required rent has been accepted? I have asked 3 different lawyers and been given 3 different answers - 1. The lease is not in effect 2. The previous lease signed by both parties is in effect on a month to month basis. 3. The lease is in effect for the term because the landlord accepted the rent payment. Note: In a correspondence from the landlord presenting another lease a statement reads: "Payment of the rent without signing the lease implicitly deems the lease accepted in its entirety."

The integrity of the agreement is intact you have established an agreement when you started handing over rent money.

Your Quote says it all: "Payment of the rent without signing the lease implicitly deems the lease accepted in its entirety."
