Seven questions to ask any rent to own program in Oklahoma

Print this and ask every program, including us. If they can't answer in writing, walk.

  1. Is this a lease with an option, or a contract for deed? Very different consequences if things go wrong. Here's the difference.
  2. Is the purchase price written down and fixed? Some programs set it later, or raise it every year.
  3. Can the rent go up during the term?
  4. What is the total cost, all in? Rent times months, plus every fee, plus the purchase price. Get the three numbers.
  5. Exactly what do I lose if I don't buy? With Upswing: the option fee. Nothing else.
  6. Does one missed payment void my option? Ask about cure periods, in writing.
  7. Can I read the contract before I pay anything? Ours is posted on this website. If theirs isn't, ask why.

Our answers are on one page: the plain-terms sheet, in English and Spanish.
