Only if by contract. It is a residential "unit"?what does lease say?

This is entirely a matter of contract, so you need 1) to look at the lease and 2) to negotiate a change if it doesn't say anything about it, or has the answer you don't like.
An attorney can help you change it to a rent-to-own agreement.
