An Oklahoma rent-to-own agreement is a form used to define the conditions of a residential tenancy arrangement that includes the option to buy the rental property before the agreement expires. The prospective buyer (tenant) is typically required to make a down payment to secure their purchasing rights on the property. This fee is generally around 3% of the agreed-upon sale price and may act as a credit towards the sale should the tenant exercise their purchase option.
Whereas a standard lease has a fixed term of one (1) year, rent-to-own agreements are usually several years in length. The extended lease term offers the tenant ample time to acquire funding and improve their financial standing for mortgage approval.
