1. A lease or rental agreement
2. A purchase contact to buy the property at a future date.
Lease purchase agreements vary so there is not a standard contract used by all. A lease purchase often refers to a contract for a certain purchase price of the property. With a lease purchase, you are intending to buy the property.
What is a Lease Option to purchase?“Lease-options,” are similar in that they often lock in the price of the home at the onset of the contract. However with many lease options, you have the right to purchase the property by a certain date, but are not obligated to do so. Most often options money is non refundable if you do not purchase the property.
