Lease Purchase Agreement
New York
I am currently considering entering into a Lease Purchase Agreement for a property, where I will be leasing the property for a specific period of time with the option to purchase it at the end of the lease term. I would like to understand the legal implications of this type of agreement, including any potential risks or obligations that I should be aware of before proceeding with the agreement.

Hello! The most significant risk is missing or being late on a payment, which could potentially breach the purchase agreement. Another risk is that the current owner usurps the deal or attempts to sell the property to someone else. At least, these are some of the practical risks. An attorney should review the written Lease Purchase agreement to outline the potential risks and recommend possible edits.
Can a seller back out of a Lease Purchase Agreement without providing a reason?

Lease Purchase Agreement

I entered into a Lease Purchase Agreement with a seller for a property, where I agreed to lease the property for a certain period with the option to purchase it at the end of the lease term. However, the seller recently informed me that they have decided not to proceed with the agreement and are backing out, without providing any specific reason for their decision. I had already invested time and money into preparing for the purchase, and I am now concerned about my rights and options in this situation. Can the seller legally back out of the Lease Purchase Agreement without giving a reason, and what recourse do I have?

Quite simply, the answer depends on exactly what the LPA States either party will or will not do. Ordinarily termination or cancellation rights are expressly spelled out in contracts. This is why it is so important to have an attorney work on your documents rather than just using canned documents available on the Internet.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
