A Vermont rent-to-own lease agreement confirms a common lease arrangement between a landlord and a tenant, but it also includes an option for the tenant to purchase the property. It outlines the average items that are found in a lease agreement, including but not limited to the monthly rent, security and pet deposits, and tenant responsibilities. Next the option to purchase the property explains the requirements, arrangements, and purchase price agreed by the tenant and landlord. The tenant has to pay the regular monthly rent until they want to buy the property. Sometimes rent paid can apply to the purchase price. The seller needs to issue certain disclosures per Vermont law.
