State RTO Associations - State Rent-to-Own Statutes and Economic Impact

APRO calculates the key economic indicators for each state according to APRO’s database and the annual industry survey conducted by statistical research firm Industry Insights. APRO has been the leader in defining the rent-to-own industry statistically for the past decade and continues to refine and build the rent-to-own statistical story for Wall Street, financial analysts, bankers, the media, legislators and industry newcomers.

 

APRO has compiled state-by-state RTO rules and regulations into an easy-to-reference set of charts organized by in-store price tag disclosures, rent-to-own contract disclosures, specifications on fees and payments, advertising disclosures and reinstatement rights.
