A rent-back agreement (also known as a post-settlement occupancy agreement) is a temporary arrangement that allows you to remain in your home for a set period after the property sale is finalized. During this time, the buyer becomes your temporary landlord while you stay on as a tenant. This option is highly useful if your next home is not yet ready, if you need the sale proceeds to finalize your subsequent move, or to avoid having to pack and move twice. It ensures a smooth, on-time transaction without the stress of an immediate relocation.
