The Lease Option Agreement serves as a vital instrument in Malta's property market, providing flexibility for both property owners and potential buyers. This hybrid document combines the immediate benefit of property occupation through a lease with the future right to purchase. It is particularly useful when a potential buyer needs time to arrange financing or wants to "test" the property before committing to purchase. The agreement must comply with Malta's specific legal framework, including the Civil Code, Private Residential Leases Act, and Promise of Sale Agreement Act. A Lease Option Agreement typically includes detailed terms about the lease period, rent payments, maintenance responsibilities, option exercise period, purchase price, and any rent credits that may apply toward the purchase. It provides security for both parties while offering a structured path to property ownership.
