Rent-to-Own Quiz

Rent-to-own agreements let consumers rent goods for a weekly, b-weekly or monthly fee. After the consumer fulfills the terms of the contract and makes payments for an agreed-upon time period, the consumer owns the item rented. If the contract is not completed, the store picks up the rented item and the consumer fees are not returned.
