- I need to rent more furniture. At least it might be cheaper than buying it, and I don't need much furniture for myself
- But how long am I renting for?
- this is quite a small place
- Son, do you have a place to sit?
- Hello sir! What would you like to rent today?
- My parents just moved in today so I need some furniture. How much to rent a sofa and a bed?
- Uhm, that would be a monthly fee of $100 for the sofa and $150 for the bed
- WHAT!? That's outrageous! That's way too expensive. Let me discuss this with your manager!
- Alex and his elderly parents just moved into a small apartment and they are going to stay for awhile. Alex decides he needs more furniture but doesn't know how long his parents are going to stay
- This price is over the limit! Isn't this illegal?
- I'm sorry to hear that sir, but this isn't predatory lending, we just have a lot of overhead expenses.
- Alex arrives at the only rent to own shop in town and asks to rent a sofa and a bed.
- -Sigh- I guess i'll have to buy it. Isn't there anyway you can lower it?
- Sorry sir, no can do. That would be a monthly fee of $250. Can you sign this contract please? It also includes a transportation fee.
- After hearing the price Alex is shocked and angry about the monthly price and calls for the manager to discuss the price.
- That's better!
- This is crazy. The sofa and bed after renting it for 2 months is double the price of me just buying the furnitures!
- The manager explains that this isn't predatory lending but they just have a lot of overhead expenses.
- Alex knows his elderly parents need to sit and sleep so he reluctantly buys the furniture signing the contract.
