Without knowing the details of your agreement I can not possibly answer your questions. The answers depend entirely on what you agreed to.

Unless your rental agreement was expressly a rent-to-buy agreement with an agreed portion of the rent payments going toward the purchase, none of the rent is a credit to the purchase. Other than that, I agree with Mr. Shers. Without the details of your purchase agreement there is nothing we can tell you.
