A Utah rent-to-own agreement establishes an arrangement in which a tenant leases property for a fixed term with the option of buying the property before the lease expires. It enables aspiring homeowners to move into their desired property immediately despite their inability to obtain a mortgage. A purchase price can be negotiable or fixed before the lease start date, depending on the conditions in the agreement. The landlord may charge an additional fee to secure the tenant’s purchasing rights, which will be credited towards the purchase should the tenant decide to buy.
