Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | Leases We lease space for all of our Rent-A-Center Business and Mexico stores under operating leases expiring at various times through 2027. In addition, we lease space for certain support facilities under operating leases expiring at various times through 2032. Most of our store leases are five year leases and contain renewal options for additional periods ranging from three to five years at rental rates adjusted according to agreed upon formulas. We evaluate all leases to determine if it is likely that we will exercise future renewal options and in most cases we are not reasonably certain of exercise due to competing market rental rates and lack of significant penalty, or business disruption incurred by not exercising the renewal options. In certain situations involving the sale of a Rent-A-Center Business corporate store to a franchisee, we enter into a lease assignment agreement with the buyer, but we remain the primary obligor under the original lease for the remaining active term. These assignments are therefore classified as subleases and the original lease is included in our operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We lease vehicles for all of our Rent-A-Center Business stores under operating leases with lease terms expiring twelve months after the start date of the lease. We classify these leases as short-term and have elected the short-term lease exemption for our vehicle leases, and have therefore excluded them from our operating lease right-of-use assets within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also lease vehicles for all of our Mexico stores which have terms expiring at various times through 2025 with rental rates adjusted periodically for inflation. Finally, we have a minimal number of equipment leases, primarily related to temporary storage containers and certain back-office technology hardware assets. For all of the leases described above, we have elected not to separate the lease and non-lease components and instead account for these as a single component. In addition, we have elected to use available practical expedients that eliminate the requirement to reassess whether expired or existing contracts contained leases and the requirement to reassess the lease classification for any existing leases prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are discounted using our incremental borrowing rate, since the implicit rate is not readily determinable. We do not currently have any financing leases. Operating lease costs are recorded on a straight-line basis within other store expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government restrictions negatively impacting our operations, we renegotiated approximately 500 store lease agreements in the third quarter of 2020 to obtain rent relief, in order to help offset the negative financial impacts of COVID-19. Lease amendments executed as a result of our renegotiations included near term rent abatements of approximately $2.3 million and rent deferrals of approximately $2.1 million. As of September 30, 2021, we have repaid substantially all deferred rent associated with these lease amendments.
