The Lease Option Agreement Property For Sale is a specialized legal instrument used in the United Arab Emirates real estate market that provides tenants with both immediate occupancy rights and a future purchase opportunity. This document is particularly relevant when potential buyers need time to arrange financing or want to "test" the property before committing to purchase, or when sellers wish to secure a potential buyer while generating rental income. The agreement must comply with UAE federal property laws and emirate-specific regulations, including RERA requirements and Land Department guidelines. It combines detailed lease provisions (rent, maintenance, duration) with specific option terms (purchase price, option period, exercise conditions), making it suitable for both residential and commercial properties. The document typically includes provisions for option fees, purchase price calculations, and the mechanism for exercising the purchase option.
