Rent to own in Spanish

Question

What is rent to own in spanish

Answer 1

En España es exactamente igual Alquiler con opción a compra

Answer 2

The term used in México is renta con opción a compra.

Answer 3

Have a look at this thread, rent-to-own, which offers some suggestions. Several suggestions, appear more like "rent with an option to buy;" while, others offer more literal translations. By some of the comments on the thread it appears that this idea/scheme (rent-to-own) is not as common in other parts of the world (Spain for instance), and may be a strictly American invention.

Rent-a-center describes the financial terms of the contract as such:

La transacción publicitada es un contrato de alquiler-compra (rent-to-own contract), so I suppose the term could be said: Alquiler-compra

I hope that helps

Hi b100068

I don´t even know what it is in English. Do you mean a "right to purchase".

It means a person rents a house or something and the money is applied to the purchase price - nizhoni1, Dec 14, 2009

Well, you live and learn. Just found a web site in the UK. Can´t help thinking it is going to cost more than the standard mortgage arrangement. - Eddy, Dec 14, 2009

Oh yeah, that's the whole idea from the rental company's perspective. It often preys on poor people. - Brett1971, Dec 14, 2009
