Clay and Carrico urge support for H.R. 1767 This Rent to Own Video brought to you by APRO's RTOHQ.org

Watch Congressman William Lacy Clay urge fellow House members to co-sponsor his bill, H.R. 1767, the Consumer Rental Purchase Agreement Act. Noting the benefits to both consumers and the rent-to-own industry that would result from passage of the bill, Clay calls for “undecided” colleagues to get off the fence and support this industry defining legislation.

In conjunction with Clay’s appeal to legislators, APRO President Larry Carrico reminds rent-to-own activists to stay vigilant in following up with their respective congress members and senators in urging them to support the bill as well.
