MS Rent To Own Store Insurance

Mississippi Rent To Own Store Insurance. Rent to own stores, also frequently referred to simply as "RTO stores", have a unique business model. Customers can lease high-value items - typically electronics, furniture, or equipment such as lawnmowers - for set periods of time, after which they are free to return the item to the store.

Should they opt to continue the lease, however, the lease fee instead represents installments toward ownership of the item in question. This business model allows consumers or enterprises to gain the use of a new commodity immediately, with the option but not also the obligation to own the product later.

Rent to own stores are similar to other home furnishing stores in that they stock items that a household needs, such as appliances, decorative items, furniture, lamps, and rugs. The difference is that the credit terms are handled in-house.

The store continues to own the items until they are returned or the renter pays off the loan and then owns the items.

The individuals who shop at rent to own places typically have limited or poor credit history. Repossessions are common. The store may repair, strip, reupholster, paint or refinish repossessed items.
