To Rent-to-Own or Not to Rent-to-Own?

Contract – An exchange, promise, or agreement between parties that is enforceable by law.

Key Elements of a Contract Competent parties Consideration Mutual agreement

Key Elements of a Contract Competent parties The individuals involved in a contract must be competent parties able to understand the conditions of the contract—that is, what they are agreeing to. A mentally impaired person (for example, from drugs or illness) might not understand the conditions of the contract, and it is unlikely that a court would hold such a person to the contract. Generally, minors (usually those under age 18) may not enter into a binding contract without parental consent unless it is for necessities of life (for example, food or clothing) or a student loan.

Key Elements of a Contract (cont.) Consideration Consideration is what is exchanged in a contract and is the reason for the contract—one party gives something up and the other party provides something. Money is the most common consideration. Other examples of consideration include property, goods, and a promise to do or not to do something. Agreeing to perform an illegal act is not a valid consideration, and any contract that includes such an agreement would be void.

Key Elements of a Contract (cont.) Mutual agreement Mutual agreement is when both parties in a contract agree to the essential details, rights, and obligations of the contract. Mutual agreement may be given in writing or verbally.

Describe some conditions of a contract you might have with your parents to mow the lawn every two weeks?

One of the parties is mentally impaired and does not understand the conditions of the contract, one of the parties is a minor, or the contract involves an illegal act.

Have you seen or heard advertisements for rent- to-own stores? What types of products do rent-to-own ads usually offer? Possibilities include furniture, appliances, and televisions.

Rent-to-Own Contract Facts A lease is a legal contract that outlines the terms under which one party agrees to rent property from another party. A rent-to-own contract is a basic lease contract with the option to purchase the good leased and generally adheres to the following terms (see the next slide):

Rent-to-Own Contract Facts (cont.) No down payment or credit check is required. A consumer (renter) can get immediate delivery of new furniture, appliances, or other goods. The merchandise may be rented by the week or month. The consumer owns the merchandise after all payments have been made. If the merchandise is kept for a minimum amount of time, there is no penalty charged for returning it. If a payment is missed, the consumer must return the merchandise—that is, it will be repossessed— and will receive nothing in return for the payments made (except the benefit of having used the merchandise).

Annual percentage rate (APR) – The percentage cost of credit on an annual basis.

The store agrees that the renter may return the merchandise without penalty after a specified amount of time.
