RTO Legislative Activity

RTO Legislative Activity - PAC and Team APRO Support Rent-to-Own

APRO’s goal is to secure federal legislation that properly defines rent-to-own. Contributions to APRO’s Political Action Committee and Team APRO allow APRO to continue working as the voice of the rent-to-own industry for the passage of such legislation. APRO would like to recognize the following contributors to the PAC and Team APRO funds. The efforts and contributions of these members are responsible for the success the rent-to-own industry enjoys today.

 

If you would like to join fellow rent-to-own dealers in the pursuit of successful passage of legislation that protects the right of dealers to conduct business, please click below to download a rental dealer APRO PAC pledge form or rent-to-own vendor Team APRO pledge form.
