The Rent-to-Own Industry | A Legislative Resource

PRO calculates the key economic indicators for each state according to its 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. The association 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. Click here to download a PDF of the rules and regulations charts. These numbers were calculated based on results from APRO’s 2007 Rent-to-Own Industry Statistical Survey and APRO’s database. The average store grosses $696,000 annually with 50,000 workers nationally earning an average of $39,000 a year in wages.
