Nevada Option to Purchase Addendum to Residential Lease - Lease or Rent to Own
What is this form?
The Option to Purchase Addendum to Residential Lease allows a tenant (lessee) to secure an option to buy the property they are renting during the lease period. This form establishes an agreement where the lessor commits not to sell the residence to anyone else while the lease is active and grants the lessee the exclusive right to purchase the property under specific conditions. Unlike a standard lease agreement, this addendum is focused on the purchase option and must be attached to a separate Residential Lease Agreement.
Key parts of this document
- Grant of Lease: Details the property being leased and references the original lease agreement.
- Option to Purchase: Specifies the terms under which the lessee can exercise their right to buy the property, including notice requirements and purchase price.
- Assignment or Transfer: States that the lessee cannot transfer their option without the lessor's consent.
- Heirs and Assigns: Clarifies that the agreement binds both parties and their successors.
- Entire Agreement: Confirms that the document represents the full understanding between the lessor and lessee.
When to use this form
This form is beneficial for tenants who wish to secure the option to purchase the property they are renting.

This is particularly useful in markets where home prices are rising, and a tenant may want to lock in the current price.

FAQ
A lease purchase agreement in real estate is a rent-to-own contract between a tenant and a landlord for the former to purchase the property at a later point in time. The renter pays the seller an option fee at an agreed-upon purchase price, giving them exclusive rights to buy the property.
