Contracts

A Minnesota lease agreement contains an option to purchase. The tenant exercises the option. This creates:

AA completed sale immediately
BA binding obligation to buy and sell on the agreed terms✓ Correct
CAn extended lease period
DA right of first refusal only

Explanation

When a tenant exercises a purchase option in a Minnesota lease, it creates a binding obligation for both parties: the tenant must purchase and the landlord must sell on the terms specified in the option. The option exercise typically triggers a formal purchase agreement. Lease-options are used in Minnesota as a rent-to-own strategy.
