Rhode Island Residential Purchase and Sale Agreement

Updated September 20, 2023

A Rhode Island residential purchase and sale agreement is a document used by those seeking to purchase a single-family or multi-unit residence. The document consists of various conditions which, if the document is to be legally binding, both the buyer and seller must agree upon within a particular timeframe. While the terms of the contract will vary depending on the type of property being sold, the agreement will always describe the parties involved in the transaction, the property itself, the closing date, and the consideration offered to the seller in exchange for their home (usually a monetary payment).

According to § 5-20.8-2, before the seller agrees to transfer ownership of a property, they must complete a property condition report and provide it to the buyer and any agents with whom the buyer is associated. Note that the disclosure will only provide information regarding material defects known to the seller.
