If you lease/purchase agrement allows you to buy at any time you want pror to a cetain date, then you need only inform yoru landlord that you are ready to buy, and have them back out. Hopefully, yoru agrement sets the sales price. To get a more specific advice, you will have to work directly with an attorney that has access to your lease and purchase agreement(s)
Good luck
