How long does an option last? An option typically lasts 24 months but the timeframe to exercise is completely negotiable at the agreement stage.
The Basic Structure of a Lease Purchase In a lease purchase contract, the buyer and seller agree to a lease period followed by sale of the property when the lease ends. This type of agreement combines both a lease and a purchase with the tenant/purchaser securing the option to purchase the house.
A lease-option is a contract in which a landlord and tenant agree that, at the end of a specified period, the renter can buy the property. The tenant pays an up-front option fee and an additional amount each month that goes toward the eventual down payment.
The difference between a lease option and lease purchase agreement is that the lease option only obligates the seller to sell. A lease purchase agreement commits both parties to the sale barring breach of contract or the buyer's inability to secure a mortgage.
