Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Rent to Buy

I rent an apartment in a two family brownstone and I wanted to know if I could present an option to my landlord for me to buy my apartment. Is that possible? It is a private residence, we are the only tenants, myself and landlord.

You may always make an offer to purchaser realty. That does not necessarily mean that the owner will accept.
