According to Art. 811 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, the housing rental agreement is concluded in writing.
However, according to Article 218 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, non-observance by the parties of the written form of the transaction, which is established by law, does not result in its invalidity, except in cases established by law.
Denial by one of the parties of the fact of committing the deed or disputing its individual parts can be proved by written evidence, means of audio, video recording and other evidence.
