A New Hampshire rent-to-own lease agreement allows a tenant to rent a property from the landlord while also giving the tenant the option to later purchase the property. The agreement will usually be structured as a traditional lease, with the purchase option described in a separate section. The provisions of both the standard lease and the purchase option can be negotiated by the parties, subject to certain requirements of state law.
