RS 9:3355
§3355. Disclosures
For each rental-purchase agreement, the lessor shall disclose in the agreement the following items, as applicable:
(1)The total number, total amount, and timing of all payments necessary to acquire ownership of the property.
(2)A statement that the consumer will not own the property until the consumer has made the total amount of payments necessary to acquire ownership.
(3)A statement that the consumer is responsible for the fair market value of the property if and as of the time that it is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed.
(4)A brief description of the rented property, sufficient to identify the property to the consumer and the lessor, including an identification number, if applicable, and a statement indicating whether the property is new or previously rented. However, a statement that indicates new property is previously rented shall not be a violation of this Chapter.
(5)A statement of the cash price of the property. When the agreement involves two or more items as a set, in one agreement, a statement of the aggregate cash price of all items shall satisfy this requirement.
(6)The total of initial payments paid or required at or before consummation of the agreement or delivery of the property, whichever is later.
(7)A statement that the total of payments does not include other charges, such as late payment, default, pickup, and reinstatement fees, which charges shall be separately disclosed in the contract.
(8)A statement clearly summarizing the terms of the option of the consumer to purchase, including a statement that the consumer has the right to exercise an early purchase option, and the price, formula, or method for determining the price at which the property may be so purchased.
(9)A statement identifying the party responsible for maintaining or servicing the property while it is being rented, together with a description of that responsibility, and a statement that if any part of an express warranty of a manufacturer covers the rented property at the time that the consumer acquires ownership of the property, it shall be transferred to the consumer, if allowed by the terms of the warranty.
(10)The date of the transaction and the identities of the lessor and consumer.
(11)A statement that the consumer may terminate the agreement without penalty by voluntarily surrendering or returning the property in good repair upon expiration of any rental term along with any past due rental payments.
(12)Notice of the right to reinstate an agreement as provided in R.S. 9:3357.
Acts 1991, No. 204, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1992.
