Are there landlords who do not require the renter to sign a written contract or other legal form to rent an apartment?

Get SOMETHING in WRITING!!!! A handwritten note signed by them is a CONTRACT! good luck :) There are some, they're generally called "fools". The contract can be written to protect the interests of the renter and the landlord. The contract just clarifies responsibilities. Don't consider it to always be a bad thing. Writing down the terms of the rental and having everyone sign it just makes things clear later.

Can a landlord enforce a written lease when he and the tenant agreed verbally to end the lease early?
Of course. As a matter of contract law, a lease (which has contract and property law issues) can be "broken" by either party at any time, as long as the breaching party is willing to pay any damages arising from the breach.For example, the landlord should expect to have to pay something to help the tenant find another suitable place to live, and perhaps part of the moving costs.
If you are renting and there is no written contract do you have rights to the land after you have been there 5 years or more?
No. What you are talking about is a claim of adverse possession. Such a claim requires that you reside on the land without the owner's permission. Since you are paying rent, even though there is no written contract, the law says that you are asking the owner's permission to use the land.

If there is not contract do you still owe back rent?
Even if you do not have a written contract you still have a verbal contract if someone has agreed to rent you an apartment for a specific price. Verbal contracts are also enforceable (although not as easily as written contracts, since there may be no concrete evidence about what exactly was agreed). In any event, if you agreed to pay rent, then you do owe the rent that you agreed to pay, contract or no contract.
If you employ 2 persons must they have a written contract?
You do not HAVE to have an employment contract unless local law or regulations require it for your industry. It is advisable not to have an employment contract if you are not required to as lack of a contract preserves considerable authority and decision-making leeway for the employer.
Are all written contracts legal?
Yes, an unwritten contract can be legally binding if it can be proved that a contract exists between the parties. For instance, many tenants do not have a written lease or rental agreement with their landlords. But it's easy to prove that a contract exists because the tenant is renting the property and the landlord is accepting rent from the tenant. What is harder to establish, however, is what the exact terms of an oral contract are. That's why it is always advisable to put it in writing so that there is no question that a contract exists and both parties are clear on what their rights and obligations are.
