An option contract is a promise to keep an offer open for another party to accept within a period of time. With an option contract, the offeror is not permitted to revoke the offer within the stated period of time. Most option contracts require consideration and other contract formalities in order to be enforceable.
A break clause in a commercial lease (also known as 'an option to determine') is fairly common. It allows both parties flexibility if any issues or changes in circumstances occur, and provides the parties with a mechanism to terminate the agreement early if certain criteria are met.
A lease option, also called a “lease with the option to buy,” is a type of rent-to-own contract. This agreement allows one to rent a home for a certain period and an opportunity to buy it at the end of the lease period.
If a tenant intends to stay on in the premises, failing to exercise the option to renew can be catastrophic. If the procedure for exercising the option is not followed properly, then the landlord is under no obligation to grant the new lease. This means that the landlord does not have to grant a further term.
Generally 48 months is the ``sweet spot'' for leasing, but if you want a newer car - sooner - then go for the 36 month lease instead.
An option clause is a term in a commercial lease that allows a tenant to renew their lease at the end of the original lease period, if they meet certain conditions. Landlords are not obliged to offer a renewal option.
For example, a tenant and landlord may agree to a five-year lease with a five-year option to renew. At the end of the first five years, the tenant is given the chance to continue the lease for another five years. If you think you may renew, be sure to bring up extension provisions with your landlord.
The option agreement allows a Buyer to avoid committing to purchasing any of the land until all the land required to make the project viable is secured. Option agreements can be a quicker and cheaper route to securing property when compared to a conditional contract.
