Some agreements have a lock-in clause. The lock-in clause of a leave and license or lease agreement states that a tenant cannot leave the rented property or terminate the agreement for a specified period of time, during which the contract is âlocked inâ. This period is commonly referred to as a lock-in period.
However, such a long lock period comes at a price. In some instances, a lender will add a premium to current mortgage rates -- 0.125 percent to 0.5 percent is common -- to allow you to lock in this new interest rate. Each point is a fee of 1 percent of the (final) loan amount, and you could see a two or more point fee to get such a long rate lock.
