The Lease To Own Land Agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in the Philippines when parties wish to combine a property lease with a future purchase option. This arrangement is particularly useful when immediate purchase is not feasible or desired, but there is a clear intention for eventual property transfer. The document is structured to comply with Philippine property laws, including the Civil Code, Maceda Law, and local government regulations. It provides detailed terms for both the lease period and the purchase option, including payment schedules, maintenance responsibilities, and conditions for exercising the purchase option. The agreement is commonly used in various contexts, from residential to commercial property transactions, and must account for specific Philippine legal requirements such as foreign ownership restrictions and, where applicable, agricultural land reform provisions. The document serves as a comprehensive framework for protecting both parties' interests throughout the lease period and during the eventual property transfer.
