The Lease with Option to Purchase agreement is a sophisticated legal instrument used in the Philippines when parties wish to combine a property lease with a potential future sale. This document is particularly useful when a potential buyer wishes to occupy and evaluate a property before committing to a purchase, or when they need time to arrange financing while securing their interest in the property. The agreement must comply with Philippine property law, including the Civil Code, Rent Control Act, and Maceda Law, making it essential for transactions in both residential and commercial sectors. It includes comprehensive provisions for the lease period, purchase option terms, payment structures, and property maintenance responsibilities, while protecting both parties' interests under Philippine jurisdiction. This document type is commonly used in various contexts, from residential property transactions to commercial real estate deals, and requires careful consideration of both lease and sale aspects under Philippine legal requirements.
