An Indiana rent-to-own agreement, also known as a “lease option,” is an arrangement between a residential property owner and an interested buyer whereby the buyer rents the owner’s property with the option to purchase and the end of the lease term. A lease option gives individuals with little savings and a potentially modest credit score the ability to move into a residence as a tenant while they raise the necessary capital to purchase the property and become the owner. In the event that the tenant doesn’t purchase before the lease expires, they will lose any funds that the property owner accepted as payment towards the proposed transaction.
