§ 47-18-602 — Legislative findings and purpose

The general assembly finds that a significant number of consumers have sought to acquire ownership of personal property through rental-purchase agreements. Often, these rental-purchase agreements have been offered without adequate cost disclosures. It is the purpose of this part to assure meaningful disclosure of the terms of rental-purchase agreements, to make consumers aware of the total cost attendant with such agreements, to inform the consumer when ownership will transfer, and to assure accurate disclosures of rental-purchase terms in advertising.
