Rose helped me out so much as far as my warranty, was concerned because I was going to have a emergency repair person come and she reminded me even though I paid off the product that I had a warranty still with said company.

Compare stores side by side

Use the comparison table above to compare stores side by side, rated by customers, with products and contact info in one view.

Ask about early purchase options

Every rent-to-own agreement should include an early purchase option (EPO). Ask the store how much you can save by buying the item outright before the full lease term ends. The earlier you buy, the more you save.

Check store hours before you go

Hours can vary by location and may change on holidays. Call ahead or check the store listings above to confirm the store is open before making the trip. Many stores close earlier on weekends.

Read reviews from other customers

Customer reviews can reveal important details about service quality, delivery experience, and staff helpfulness. Check ratings on each store listing and click through for detailed reviews.

Estimate your total cost

Use the VRTO calculator to estimate your total rent-to-own cost before you visit. Knowing the full cost upfront helps you compare options and budget effectively.

Know your rights

Rent-to-own is generally structured as a lease with an option to own. Return rights and obligations vary by agreement and state. Michigan has consumer protection laws governing RTO transactions. Ask the store for a copy of your agreement before signing.

Michigan law

What Michigan law gives you before you sign

Michigan regulates rent-to-own under Michigan Rental-Purchase Agreement Act, and the rules are the same at every store in the state. Before you sign, the store has to put the cash price, the total cost to own the item, and the number of payments in front of you, so the real number is never buried in the fine print. 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.

Michigan Rental-Purchase Agreement Act Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 445.951 to 445.972
Disclosure requirements Must disclose total number and amount of payments, total cost, cash price, description of property, payment schedule, and early purchase opt...
Early buyout rights Consumer may purchase the property at any time by paying 50% of the remaining periodic payments plus any past-due amounts.
