This is the lease we use when selling a
house on a lease option. Note that we give a discount for paying on time rather than
adding a late charge. Also that we make this discount dependent on the postmark of the
rent check envelope. This also prevents arguments. We expect tenants buying a home on a
lease option to take care of their own maintenance. Thus we make them responsible for the
first $150 of all repairs.
