Hi @John Alosio, en essence a lease-purchase option is simply a lease with an added "right" for the buyer, namely the right to purchase the property during the option period under the pre-established terms and conditions.So, if you entered into a lease-purchase agreement with the tenant in Unit 2, everything would remain the same for you until and if they execute their option to purchase.
