California law

What California law gives you before you sign

California regulates rent-to-own under California Karnette Rental-Purchase Act, and the rules are the same at every store in the state. Rent-to-own is a lease and not a loan, so there is no interest rate, and returning the item does not go on your credit.

This is a plain summary, not legal advice. Read your own agreement and confirm the terms with the store.

California Karnette Rental-Purchase Act Cal. Civ. Code ยงยง 1812.620 to 1812.649
