TAXES:

RENT-TO-OWN OR DEFERRED SALE?

Lease. If you’re having trouble selling your home, one alternative you may want to consider—and one that an acquaintance has suggested—is to offer interested parties a lease with an option to buy.

Note: If you choose this option:

• On the one hand, it will make it easier for potential buyers to gradually gain access to the property.
• On the other hand, if the tenant uses the property as their primary residence, you can generally apply a 50% reduction in the net rental income when filing your personal income tax return.

Sale with deferred payment

With a termination guarantee. Before deciding on a lease with an option to buy, consider whether another option that also helps buyers is more suitable: a sale with deferred payment. Note: To minimize risks, request a payment guarantee (such as a guarantor). Additionally, you can include a termination condition clause in the notarial deed. Thus, if a breach occurs, you may terminate the contract, repossess the property, and claim compensation for the damages caused.
