FAQ

Flexible path to buying a home: A lease option could be a suitable alternative if you aspire to become a homeowner but can't quite afford it just yet. Using this type of contract, you get a little more time to potentially save toward the down payment or work to improve your credit.

A lease with an option to buy contract can pose disadvantages for the buyer, such as losing credited funds if lease terms are breached, potentially facing higher capital gains taxes, waiting to take possession until the owner is ready to sell, and difficulties qualifying for a mortgage later on.

An option clause is a term in a commercial or retail lease, permitting a tenant to renew their lease at the end of the initial lease period.

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.

There are many reasons why a Landlord and Tenant may choose to include an “option” in a commercial lease. The most common type of option is one that gives the Tenant the right to extend the lease term, usually for additional — sometimes two or more — terms of equal length to the original term.

To grow or react to market conditions your business may need to quickly leave its current premises. If your business rents the premises but there is still time left to run on the lease, what can you do? A common solution is to transfer your lease to someone else. This process is called 'assigning a lease'.

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.
