§ 6-44-5. Reinstatement. (a) A lessee who fails to make timely lease 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 (3) lease terms after the expiration of the last lease term for which the lessee made a timely payment if the lessee surrenders the leased property to the lessor when the lessor or its agent requests him or her to surrender the leased property.
(b) Before reinstating a rental purchase agreement, a lessor may require a lessee to pay any unpaid lease payments; delinquency charges; a reasonable reinstatement fee of not more than five dollars ($5.00); and a delivery charge if redelivery of the leased property is necessary.
(c) If reinstatement occurs pursuant to this section, the lessor shall provide the lessee with either the same property leased by the lessee prior to reinstatement or substitute property that is of comparable quality and condition. If substitute property is provided, the lessor shall provide the lessee with all of the disclosures required by § 6-44-3 of this chapter.
