A Wisconsin rent-to-own lease agreement establishes a usual lease arrangement between a landlord and a tenant, but it also has an option for the tenant to purchase the property. It consists of the average features in a lease agreement, including but not limited to the monthly rent, security and pet deposits, and tenant responsibilities. Next comes the option to buy the property explaining the requirements, arrangements, and purchase price that the tenant a landlord negotiated. The tenant pays the agreed monthly rent until they want to purchase the property. Sometimes rent paid can apply to the purchase price of the property. The seller has to issue certain disclosures per Wisconsin law.
