Rental-Purchase Agreements Rent-A-Center Business, Preferred Lease, and Mexico Rentals and Fees. Rental merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to rental purchase agreements which provide for weekly, semi-monthly or monthly rental terms with non-refundable rental payments. At the expiration of each rental term customers renew the rental agreement for the next rental term. Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title of the merchandise either through a purchase option or through payment of all required rental terms. Customers can terminate the agreement at the end of any rental term without penalty. Therefore, rental transactions are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payments received at our Rent-A-Center Business, Preferred Lease (excluding virtual) and Mexico locations must be prepaid and revenue is recognized over the rental term. Under the virtual business model, revenues are earned prior to the rental payment due date. Therefore, revenue is accrued prior to receipt of the rental payment, net of estimated returns and uncollectible renewal payments. See Note C for additional information regarding accrued rental revenue and the related allowances for returns and uncollectible payments. Cash received for rental payments, including fees, prior to the period in which it should be recognized is deferred and recognized according to the rental term.
