FAQ

  • A rent-to-own agreement is a form of lease where a tenant can (or must) buy the property before the lease term runs out, or upon completion of the agreed-upon lease. It is a convenient way to get a house for people who can’t go the way of a traditional mortgage because of imperfect credit score or insufficient money for a down payment.

  • Yes, the rent-to-own model is legal in the USA. There are no federal laws governing it but there are regulations in many states, as well as a couple proposed bills being debated in Washington. So while it isn’t going to be banned anytime soon, it might get more regulated in the near future.

  • A rent-to-own agreement is a lease first and foremost, so a lot of items on it are the same as with other documents of this kind: the monthly payment amount and the date it’s due, fines for late fees, grace periods (if applicable), term of agreement, etc. However, there are also specifics like the amount of lease payment going towards the purchase and the evaluation process for the property.
