A Hawaii rent-to-own agreement allows potential home-buyers to lease a property that they are interested in owning with the option to purchase before the lease expires. Many individuals lack the credit score and savings to apply for a mortgage and make the initial down payment to buy residential real estate. By entering into a rent-to-own lease, also known as a “lease option,” they can rent property as a tenant while they work to improve their credit and raise the funds necessary to complete the purchase. Once both parties have signed the agreement, it remains legally binding until its termination date or the tenant breaks their lease.
