§ 1351.05.

(A) A lessee who fails to make timely lease payments has the right to reinstate the original

lease-purchase agreement without losing any rights or options previously acquired

under the lease-purchase agreement within three 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 to surrender

the leased property. (B) Before reinstating a lease-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, 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 section 1351.02 of the Revised Code . (D) A lessee who fails to make a timely lease payment shall, before such lessee is determined

to be in default, be allowed a grace period of not less than two days if payments

are made in weekly installments and not less than five days if payments are made in

monthly installments;  however, no lessee shall be entitled to more than three such

monthly grace periods per year.
