Extracted text: 1. A rent-to-own agreement allows the renter to either return the merchandise after a specified period of time or apply the monthly payments toward purchasing the item(s) (or clearly, the renter could default on the agreement). A rent-to- own company reports that nationally 64% of the agreements result in the merchandise being returned, 29% of the agreements result in the merchandise being purchased, and the remaining agreements are defaulted on (consumer does not make required payments specificd in the contract) At a local rent-to-own company, a sample of 226 agreements finds that 108 result in the merchandise being returned, 79 agreements result in the merchandise being purchased and the remaining agreements are defaulted upon.
