The Residential Lease Agreement With Option to Purchase is a specialized legal instrument used in Hong Kong's real estate market when a property owner wishes to lease their residential property while giving the tenant the exclusive right to purchase it under pre-agreed terms. This document is particularly useful in situations where potential buyers want to 'try before they buy' or need time to arrange financing while securing their interest in the property. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong's property and tenancy laws, including the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance and the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance. It typically includes comprehensive terms covering both the lease period (rent, maintenance, utilities) and the purchase option (price, exercise period, completion requirements), making it more complex than standard residential tenancy agreements.
