How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Lease To Own Agreement in California

In 2022, an individual in California posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a lease-to-own agreement. The client needed a legal document that would allow an existing renter to purchase the home they were currently living in, specifying a sale price of $460,000 and detailing a down payment arrangement that incorporated the security deposit from their current rental agreement. It was crucial for the client to include provisions for potential forfeiture of the down payment should the renter back out, along with a balloon payment set for September 2024. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $1,000, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.
