DA lease with option requires a higher deposit in Nevada
Explanation
A lease-option gives the tenant the unilateral right to purchase at a set price within a specified period. They may or may not exercise it. A lease-purchase obligates both parties — the tenant must buy and the seller must sell at the end of the term. In Nevada, courts distinguish between these based on contract language.
