What you can rent here

Launched in 1973 in Wichita, Kansas, it was the first national chain to scale the rent-to-own model, building standardized showrooms stocked with new, name-brand merchandise. Stores carry furniture, appliances, electronics, computers, mattresses, gaming, and smartphones on flexible weekly or monthly lease agreements, and like most rent-to-own stores they typically do not require a traditional credit check. Rent-A-Center holds a 4-star Google rating across more than 152,000 reviews. Compare Rent-A-Center on VRTO alongside other rent-to-own stores near you, with hours, ratings, and what each carries.

Store came to my house to collect debt. Not a big deal. Understandable. I am not home but they proceed to tell my roommate all about my personal information which is illegal since it is a binding contract between me and them. Then the driver collects payment from roommate. I call store to find out that the driver said no one was home and stole my roommates money. I send the screenshot of the money taken from my roommates account and the store manager Matthew says he cant do anything about it. Filed a police report next will be a lawsuit.

When the need for an appliance arose , Matthew and his staff always aimed to please. They exerted every effort to locate items and offer the best deals. I have appreciated a long satisfactory relationship with the Main Street team in Gainesville, FL.

Entire staff is rude and unprofessional. I do not recommend!! They gave me a cigarette smoker bed, which caused me to go to The ER and triggered migraines I had to be hospitalized twice! Polly or whoever that answers the phone always has an attitude, very disrespectful. And the sales manger has a extremely slick in sarcastic mouth! I’ll never rent from them again! And I don’t recommend any of you renting from them! Even if you are desperate, don’t do it! Skip pass them! Try American freight , or furniture distribution center. Lower prices for brand new stuff, they have Layaway ect! Worse experience ever, they need to close this location down! And get a new professional staff because they one they have now is horrible.
