ContractsIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, a 'lease option' agreement gives the tenant-buyer:

AA. An obligation to purchase the property at the end of the lease, which most practitioners would generally accept
BB. The right (but not the obligation) to purchase the property at a predetermined price within a specified periodCorrect
CC. Immediate ownership of the property
DD. The right to sublease without the owner's permission

Why B. The right (but not the obligation) to purchase the property at a predetermined price within a specified period Is Correct

Answer B: B. The right (but not the obligation) to purchase the property at a predetermined price within a specified period

A lease-option (rent-to-own) gives the tenant the RIGHT to purchase the property at a set price during the option period — but it is not mandatory. If the tenant exercises the option, the lease transitions to a purchase.

Exam Tip: Contracts

Contract questions frequently test the essential elements required for a valid contract. Remember: competent parties, mutual consent, lawful object, and sufficient consideration. Watch for void vs. voidable distinctions.
