How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Lease To Own Agreement in Hawaii

In 2023, a personal client in Hawaii sought assistance with a lease-to-own agreement that had been signed with an ex-spouse. The client was concerned about the lack of an option fee and perceived unfair terms, which included a rental amount below market value that barely covered mortgage expenses. Additionally, the client wished to understand the validity of the contract and explore options for canceling it to sell the property to another buyer. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $435 to $450, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
