Option Forms FAQ

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 contract between a landlord (also known as the seller) and a tenant (also known as the buyer) that allows the tenant to rent a property with the option to buy it in the future. The tenant pays rent for a specific period of time, and a portion of the monthly rent goes towards building up a down payment for the purchase of the property. This type of agreement can be a good option for individuals who want to eventually own a home but may not have enough money for a down payment immediately. In Wyoming, a Rent-to-Own Agreement follows similar principles and can be a way for tenants to eventually become homeowners in the state.


Option to Purchase

An option to purchase, also known as a purchase option, is a legal agreement that gives someone the right to buy a property or asset at a future date and at a predetermined price. This option is available to people in Wyoming who are interested in buying a specific property but may not be fully ready to commit to the purchase right away. With an option to purchase, individuals have the flexibility to secure the property they desire for a certain period of time. This can be helpful as it allows potential buyers to plan and prepare for the purchase while ensuring that the property won't be sold to someone else during that time. It is a useful tool to help navigate the real estate market in Wyoming.


Rent-to-Own Agreement Example

A rent-to-own agreement is a type of rental contract that gives the tenant the option to purchase the property they are renting after a period of time. In Wyoming, this type of agreement allows individuals to rent a property while also having the opportunity to become homeowners in the future. So, let's say you find a house in Wyoming that you really like but cannot afford to buy immediately. With a rent-to-own agreement, you can rent the property for a specified period, usually a few years, and during that time you have the option to buy the house. This kind of agreement can be advantageous for those who want to test out living in a particular area or need time to save for a down payment.


Types Of Rent-to-Own Contracts

In Wyoming, there are different types of rent-to-own contracts that people can consider. One type is the lease-option contract, where the tenant has the option to buy the property at the end of the lease term. Another type is the lease-purchase contract, where the tenant is obligated to buy the property at the end of the lease term. These contracts can provide an opportunity for individuals who may not qualify for traditional financing to eventually become homeowners. However, it is important for tenants to carefully review the terms and conditions of these contracts and seek legal advice to ensure they fully understand their rights and responsibilities.


How Does Rent-to-Own Work?

Rent-to-own is a way of buying something, like a house or a car, where instead of paying the full price all at once, you make monthly rent payments with a portion going towards owning the item. In Wyoming, rent-to-own works similarly, where a person can rent a property with the option to buy it in the future. First, you sign a lease agreement and pay an upfront fee called an option fee. This fee gives you the right to buy the property at a later date. You then pay monthly rent, some of which can go towards the purchase price. If you decide to buy the property during the agreed-upon time period, the money you paid towards rent and the option fee will be deducted from the purchase price. However, if you choose not to buy, you can walk away without any obligation to purchase the property.
