What is Rent-to-Own?

You might wonder: What does it mean to Rent-to-Own a house? It’s another way to buy a house. The contract starts out as a lease or rent but after an agreed time you are able to buy it, and be a homeowner.

Many people would love to get their own home to live in. Rent-to-own may be a good option if you are not able to buy a house right away. For example if you have low income at the moment or a bad credit score.

In this agreement, the rent-to-own company may take more of the responsibilities involved in having a house. Depending on how the contract is structured, they can put aside some designated part of the rent each time it’s paid. This money goes toward the down-payment of your house after the agreed time has passed, and you will next be in a position to use those funds to buy the house. That means that while you’re still renting, you’re already living in your future house, as if it’s yours.

Before the contract is signed, there are some details that need to be considered for both parties. That includes things like the total costs of the house, the length of the contract, and the monthly payments.
