What is an option?

In the context of real estate, an option is a contract to purchase the right for a certain time, by election, to purchase property at a stated price. An option may be a right to purchase property or require another to perform upon agreed-upon terms. By purchasing an option, a person is paying for the opportunity to elect or "exercise" the right for the property to be purchased or the performance of the other party to be required.

Sometimes an option is the right to renew a contract, such as a lease, broadcasting a television series, the employment of an actor or athlete, or some other existing business relationship. A "lease-option" contract provides for a lease of property with the right to purchase the property during or upon expiration of the lease.

How can I choose to use an option after it's created?

"Exercise" of an option normally requires notice and payment of the contract price. The option will state when it must be exercised, and if not exercised within that time, it expires. If the option is not exercised, the amount paid for the option is not refundable.

What is a Rent-to-Own Agreement?

A Rent-to-Own Agreement is a special type of contract that allows someone to rent a property with the option to buy it in the future. It's like renting a home but with the opportunity to become the owner later on. In Oklahoma, this agreement works similarly, where a tenant and a landlord agree to certain terms and conditions. The tenant pays the rent to the landlord, but a portion of this payment is set aside as a down payment towards buying the property. Over time, if the tenant decides they want to purchase the property, they can exercise the option and buy it at a predetermined price. However, if the tenant decides not to buy, they can simply continue renting the property as agreed.


Option to Purchase

An 'Option to Purchase' in Oklahoma is a legal agreement that gives a person the right to buy a property at a specific price within a specific timeframe. This option acts like a promise that the property owner will sell the property to the buyer if they decide to exercise their option. It allows the buyer to have more time to decide if they want to purchase the property, while the seller cannot sell to anyone else during the option period. It's kind of like having dibs on a property, giving you the chance to buy it if you want, but not forcing you to if you change your mind.


Rent-to-Own Agreement Example

A rent-to-own agreement is a contract that allows a person to rent a property for a specific period of time with the option to buy it in the future. In Oklahoma, this type of agreement is a popular choice for individuals who may not have enough money for a down payment or have poor credit. It works like this — the person pays rent to the landlord, and a portion of that goes towards accumulating credits that can be used later to buy the property. This allows the renter to gradually build up funds while living in the house they plan to purchase. Oklahoma's residents can find rent-to-own agreements beneficial in achieving their dream of owning a home.


Types Of Rent-to-Own Contracts

In Oklahoma, there are several types of rent-to-own contracts available for people looking to purchase a home. One common type is the lease-option agreement, where the tenant has the choice to buy the property at the end of the lease period. Another type is the lease-purchase agreement, which obligates the tenant to buy the property after the lease term expires. These contracts often require the tenant to pay an upfront option fee, in addition to regular rent payments. It's important for both parties to carefully review the terms and conditions of the contract to ensure a fair and transparent agreement that suits their individual needs and goals.


How Does Rent-to-Own Work?

Rent-to-own is a way of purchasing something, like a house or a car, where you can rent it first and then have the option to buy it later. In Oklahoma, the process is similar. You start by signing a lease agreement with the owner that states how long you will rent the property. During this time, you will pay a monthly fee, part of which goes towards the eventual purchase. If you decide to buy the property, you will use the money you've already paid as a down payment. It can be a good option if you don't have enough money for a down payment right away or if you want to try out the property before committing to buying it.
