For any item of property or set of items displayed or offered for rental-purchase, the merchant shall display on or next to the item or set of items a card, tag, or label that clearly and conspicuously discloses— a brief description of the property; whether the property is new or used; the cash price of the property; the amount of each rental payment; the total number of rental payments necessary to acquire ownership of the property; and the rental-purchase cost. A merchant may make the disclosures required by subsection
(a)in the form of a list, catalog, or electronic facsimile of the card, tag, or label which is readily available to the consumer at the point of rental if the merchandise is not displayed in the merchant’s showroom or if displaying a card, tag, or label would be impractical due to the size of the merchandise. As used in this section, the term clearly and conspicuously means that information required to be disclosed to the consumer shall appear in a type size, prominence, and location as to be noticeable, readable, and comprehensible to an ordinary consumer.
