The agreement will stipulate a rental time and at the end of the stated time, the person renting can decide to buy the home.
The eventual sale price and the monthly rent is set at an agreed upon amount.
When the renter enters into this contract, a no-refundable option fee is usually paid
If the renter chooses to buy at the end of the rental period, this fee acts as a down payment.

Advantages of Renting to Own
Affordability A part of the monthly rent also goes toward that potential
down payment making the final purchase less expensive. The rental time allows the renter some extra time to improve their credit and save money.
Try Before You Buy The renter keeps the right to decide not to buy at the end of
the rental period. The renter will lose the money put toward the down payment and the option fee but they are not stuck buying an unwanted piece of property.
