Rent-to-Own is a form of rental agreement which can mature into a purchase agreement. The tenant agrees to rent a property at a rate per month for a specific term. At the end of the term, the tenant will be given the right, but not obligation, to purchase the property at an agreed upon price. The amount of rental paid during the lease term will then be applied toward the purchase price of the property.
