407.664. Reinstatement of agreement, when, conditions. — 1. A consumer who fails to make timely rental payments has the right to reinstate the original rental-purchase agreement without losing any rights or options previously acquired under the rental-purchase agreement within three rental terms after the expiration of the last rental term for which the consumer made a timely payment if the consumer surrenders the rental property to the merchant when the merchant or its agent requests him to surrender the rental property.
2. Before reinstating a rental-purchase agreement, a merchant may require a consumer to pay any unpaid rental payments, delinquency charges, a reasonable reinstatement fee of not more than five dollars, and a delivery charge if redelivery of the rental property is necessary.
3. If reinstatement occurs pursuant to this section, the merchant shall provide the consumer with either the same property leased by the consumer prior to reinstatement or substitute property that is of comparable quality and condition.
