"Lease-purchase meaning an agreement between the owner and another who rents for a period of time because they desire to purchase the home at a later date."
- Lease-Purchase agreements are regulated by state law or in some instances a state agency.
- Lease-Purchase agreements are Executory Contracts.
- Lease-Purchase agreements are NOT just rental contracts followed by sales contracts.
- If the seller has any mortgage or encumbrance he/she must be certain that the proposed Lease-Purchase does not violate the terms and conditions of the pre-existing loan/mortgage. For example: a "Due On Sale" clause.
- In many states, if any part of the discussion that led to this Lease-Purchase proposal was in a language other than English, then ALL of the required documents must be in the same language.
