Typically used in both residential and commercial contexts, the contract details rental terms, purchase options, maintenance responsibilities, and the mechanism for converting rent payments into equity. This document type has gained prominence in Hong Kong's dynamic property market as an alternative financing solution, particularly appealing to first-time buyers and commercial entities seeking flexible property acquisition arrangements.
