The Rental Agreement With Option to Purchase is a specialized legal instrument used in the Philippines when a property owner wishes to rent out a property while giving the tenant the exclusive right to purchase it within a specified period. This arrangement is particularly useful for tenants who need time to secure financing or want to experience living in the property before committing to a purchase, and for property owners who want to secure a potential buyer while earning rental income. The document must comply with Philippine property laws, including the Civil Code, Rent Control Act, and Maceda Law, and typically includes detailed provisions about rental terms, purchase price, option period, and how rental payments may be credited toward the purchase price. It's commonly used in both residential and commercial property transactions, providing flexibility and protection for both parties while establishing a clear framework for a potential property sale.
