The Residential Lease Agreement With Option To Purchase is a specialized legal instrument used in the Philippines when a property owner wishes to lease a residential property while simultaneously granting the tenant an exclusive option to purchase the property during or at the end of the lease term. This document is particularly useful in situations where potential buyers need time to arrange financing or want to experience living in the property before committing to a purchase. The agreement must comply with Philippine property laws, including the Civil Code, Rent Control Act, and Maceda Law, making it essential to include specific provisions required by local legislation. It typically includes detailed terms about both the lease arrangement and the purchase option, including rent amounts, duration, maintenance responsibilities, purchase price, option period, and the mechanism for exercising the purchase option. This type of agreement provides flexibility for both parties while establishing clear legal protections and obligations under Philippine law.
