lease option

A quick definition of lease option:

A lease option is a type of contract for property that allows the person renting the property to have the option to buy it at the end of the lease period. This is different from a lease purchase contract, which requires the person renting to buy the property. With a lease option, the seller is required to sell the property, but the buyer has the choice to buy it. This can be helpful for buyers who don't have enough money for a down payment, and sellers can benefit from the higher price of the property.

A more thorough explanation:

A lease option is a type of contract that allows a person to lease a property, such as a house or car, with the option to buy it at the end of the lease period. This means that the lessee has the choice to purchase the property, but is not obligated to do so.

For example, let's say John wants to buy a house but doesn't have enough money for a down payment. He finds a house he likes and enters into a lease option agreement with the owner. John pays rent for a set period of time, and at the end of the lease, he has the option to buy the house at a predetermined price. If John decides not to buy the house, he can simply walk away.

Lease options can be beneficial for both the buyer and the seller. Buyers who may not have enough money for a down payment can still have the opportunity to purchase a property. Sellers can benefit from lease options by potentially getting a higher price for their property.
