Lease Option For Low Price Point Houses

I am considering offering tenants a lease option to purchase the house they are renting.  I don't actually care if they purchase the house.  I will price it at market plus a small percentage to reflect the value in 3 years.  I am looking for the tenant to have skin in the game and hopefully not be evicted nor trash the place, in fear of losing "their" house.

The model I am considering is a standard lease and a low cost, non refundable fee to purchase the option.  I am thinking a 3 year term with an additional monthly lease option payment.  They would receive a buyers credit towards their down payment.  I need to do some research to determine how to legally structure this in Florida.
