Document background

The Lease to Purchase Agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in Canadian real estate transactions where parties wish to combine a property lease with an option to purchase. This document is particularly useful when a potential buyer needs time to secure financing, build equity through rent credits, or evaluate the property before committing to a purchase. It provides protection for both parties by clearly defining the terms of the lease period and the conditions under which the purchase option can be exercised. The agreement must comply with provincial property laws, residential tenancy acts, and federal regulations governing real estate transactions. It includes crucial details such as purchase price, option period duration, rent credit calculations, and maintenance responsibilities during the lease period. This type of agreement is commonly used in both residential and commercial real estate transactions across Canada.
