Option to Lease is a legal agreement between a landlord and tenant that gives the tenant the option to lease a property for a certain period of time. This allows the tenant to decide whether to lease the property before committing to it. There are two types of Option to Lease: a put option and a call option. A put option gives the tenant the right to lease the property anytime during the specified period of time. A call option gives the tenant the right to lease the property at a specific date during the specified period of time. In either option, the tenant pays a premium to the landlord for the option. This premium is non-refundable, regardless of whether the tenant decides to lease the property. The Option to Lease also outlines the terms and conditions of the lease, such as the length of the lease, the rent amount, and any other related fees.
