Texas Rent-to-Own Lease Agreement


A Texas rent-to-own lease agreement produces a traditional lease arrangement between a landlord and a tenant that has an option for the tenant to purchase the property. It is made up of the standard features of a traditional lease agreement, including but not limited to monthly rent, deposits, and responsibilities. Then the option to purchase the property explains the arrangements, requirements, and purchase price settled by the tenant and landlord. The tenant usually pays monthly rent until they are ready to buy the property. Depending on negotiations, the rent paid can apply to the purchase price. The landlord in a rent-to-own transaction needs to issue certain disclosures per Texas law.
