220.0000 CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

Annotation 220.0446

220.0446 Options. Determining whether or not a lease with an option to purchase is, in fact, a purchase at the time the lease is entered requires a consideration of the total amount the lessee will pay for the use of the property; the current and foreseeable future value of the property; the equity the lessee is developing under the terms of the lease; and the amount of capital improvements the lessee is required to or does make to the property. If this information leads to the conclusion that the lessee is under an economic compulsion to purchase, then a change in ownership occurred on execution of the "lease". C 10/21/1988.
