Description

The Rent-to-Own Revolution examines the history, structure, and ongoing evolution of the rent-to-own industry within the broader landscape of American consumer finance. Drawing on historical records, regulatory debates, industry data, and firsthand accounts, the book reframes rent-to-own not as a lending product but as a risk-distribution rental model shaped by income volatility, credit exclusion, and consumer choice. It traces the industry’s origins, major regulatory and technological inflection points, and persistent public misunderstandings, while situating rent-to-own alongside other modern rental and subscription models. Written for policymakers, academics, and industry professionals, this book provides a clear, evidence-based foundation for understanding how alternative retail finance models function in practice and why they continue to exist.
