How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Lease Purchase Agreement in North Carolina

In 2025, a personal client in North Carolina sought assistance with drafting a lease purchase agreement for their townhome. The client was in discussions with a young couple interested in leasing the property with the intent to purchase it later, but complications arose as the couple indicated they might not reside in the property and proposed subletting it, including the possibility of using part of the home for short-term rentals. The client needed legal advice to understand the potential risks and to create a lease that would adequately protect their interests. As a result, the client received four proposals from experienced attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $499 to $850, all submitted to meet the client's deadline of over a week for the project.
