Purpose and Summary. The purpose of the Consumer Rental Purchase Agreement Act is to set a ``Federal floor'' for consumer protection in rental-purchase transactions. Most States currently regulate rental-purchase transactions as leases; however, the scope and consumer protection requirements of these laws vary significantly by State. The bill improves consumer protections in 32 States, while allowing other States to adopt more stringent protections. Currently, there is no Federal oversight or regulation of the rent to own industry. This bill amends the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) to provide such oversight and regulation. It provides meaningful and consistent disclosure of all rental- purchase agreement terms and provides substantive rights to consumers under these agreements. This legislation provides a uniform method of disclosing the cost of the rental-purchase transactions in advertisements, product tags, and rental- purchase agreements; it would fill disclosure gaps that exist in many State laws and provide important substantive consumer protections. It would also ensure consistent treatment of the transaction as a lease and not a credit sale. Background and Need for Legislation In April 2000, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a staff report entitled, ``Survey of Rent-to-Own Customers'' which concluded that potential rental-purchase customers should have clear and accurate information about the total cost of the transaction in order to allow customers to compare rental- purchase transactions to other alternatives. The FTC also noted that inadequacies exist in many State rental-purchase disclosure laws. This bill cures those inadequacies. Federal legislation to regulate this industry has been considered by Congress for more than a decade. Prior attempts to pass legislation failed largely over the issue of the appropriate level of consumer protections as part of a package that classifies these transactions as leases, as opposed to credit sales. The Consumer Rental Purchase Agreement Act addresses these concerns by adding consumer protections that are more substantive than prior bills and are in line with a majority of the States that have adopted rental-purchase legislation.
