2. I would rather lease right now. How do I lease a loft?

Baker monthly rental amounts are for a 12 month minimum rental period. Security deposit is required (1 months rent). After 12 months, if the unit is purchased by leasee, 100% of rent goes towards the downpayment of that loft. Or the leasee can renew the lease for another 12 months. Monthly condo fees and electric is in addition to the monthly rental payment.
