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

In 2025, a personal client in New Jersey sought assistance with drafting a lease-to-own agreement for a single-family residential property. As the landlord, the client aimed to formalize an arrangement with a prospective tenant who was willing to provide an upfront deposit while continuing to make mortgage payments. The agreement stipulated that the title transfer would occur only after the mortgage was fully satisfied, ensuring clarity in the transaction. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $325 to $800, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
