@Markus March 

is it a year long lease, and if so how much time is remaining?

is this topic addressed in the lease? if not google Tenant landlord laws for your state and see what kind of notice is required. Below i have given you a helpful thread to read

i believe he is talking about rent to own... which is a no-no until you seek legal counsel.

@Chris Mayfield 

 welcome to BP! Read as much on here as possible, interact with others on this forum, and join your local REIAs.  I am sure a Mentor will surface, probably when you are not actively looking for one :)

cheers,
