At Prince Edward Island House Partners we help people access rent to own homes in Prince Edward Island that are move-in ready and ideal for buyers with bad credit, no credit, or low down payment.

Your rent to own down payment can come from cash savings, RRSP withdrawals, investments, or other liquid assets. It secures your place in the rent to own program in Prince Edward Island and gives you the exclusive right to buy the home later.

Our team will help you create a low down payment rent to own plan that works — whether you're a first time home buyer, have bad credit, or are looking for no bank financing options in Prince Edward Island.

At Prince Edward Island House Partners, your monthly rent to own home payment in Prince Edward Island is based on three key factors:

• The value of the rent to own home you choose
• Your initial down payment (starting from 2% to 10%)
• The monthly savings amount you contribute toward your future home purchase

Step 1: Initial Deposit – Before You Move In

You’ll begin with a one-time upfront deposit — typically $5,000 or 2% to 10% of the home's price — which is credited toward your rent to own home purchase in Prince Edward Island.

Step 2: Monthly Rent + Savings – After You Move In

Your monthly rent to own payment includes:

• Standard rental amount
• Monthly savings portion based on your target down payment
• The monthly savings amount you contribute toward your future home purchase

This total is calculated based on your home price, deposit, and how much you want saved by the end of your lease. You can also use our upcoming rent to own affordability calculator Prince Edward Island to estimate your monthly payments and build a plan that works for your budget.

At Prince Edward Island House Partners, our rent to own program in Prince Edward Island (also called lease to own) lets you move into your future home today while saving toward a down payment. We purchase the home for you, and you rent it while building equity. Later, you buy the home at a pre-agreed price — even with bad credit, no bank approval, or low income.

Step 1: Pre-Qualification

Step 2: Find Your Home

Work with our real estate partners to choose a move-in ready home that meets the requirements of our rent to own program in Alberton, Kensington, Summerside, Charlottetown and other PrinceEdward Island cities

Step 3: Move In & Save

Live in the home while making monthly rent to own payments, which include both rent and monthly savings toward your down payment.

Step 4: Buy or Walk Away

When you’re mortgage-ready, buy the home at the locked-in price. Or, if you choose not to buy, walk away and keep your accumulated savings (terms apply).

To qualify for the rent to own program in Prince Edward Island through Prince Edward Island House Partners, you’ll need to show that you can afford your monthly rent to own payments. Requirements vary based on your income source:

For Traditional Employment (Hourly, Salary, or Commission)

To apply for rent to own homes in Alberton, Kensington, Summerside, Charlottetown or other Prince Edward Island cities as a full-time employee, you’ll need:

• Employment letter
• Recent pay stubs
• Notices of assessment (last 2 years)
• Bank statements (past 6 months)

For Self-Employed Applicants

• T1 personal tax returns

We review these documents to make sure you meet our income and affordability criteria for rent to own homes in Prince Edward Island, and then match you with a plan that fits your financial profile — even if you're a first time home buyer with bad credit or no mortgage pre-approval.

There is no interest rate applied during your rent to own lease term with Prince Edward Island House Partners, because we are not a mortgage lender. Your monthly rent to own payments in Prince Edward Island are fixed — including your rent amount and monthly down payment savings — with no interest charged throughout the lease.

When you're ready to purchase your home at the end of your lease, you’ll typically apply for a traditional mortgage from a Prince Edward Island financial institution, where standard mortgage interest rates will then apply.

We’ll help guide you through this transition and connect you with mortgage brokers in Prince Edward Island to secure the best rate when you're ready to buy your rent to own home.
