Contracts

In South Dakota, a 'lease-purchase' differs from a 'lease-option' because a lease-purchase:

BObligates the tenant to purchase the property at the end of the lease term✓ Correct
CIs only available for commercial properties
DDoes not require any option premium payment

Explanation

In a lease-purchase, both parties are obligated to complete the purchase — the tenant must buy and the seller must sell. In a lease-option, only the seller is obligated; the buyer has the option to buy or walk away.
