A lessor shall not offer a consumer rental purchase agreement in which fifty percent of all lease payments necessary to acquire ownership of the leased property exceeds the cash price of the leased property.

3. It is not a violation of this section for the lessor and the lessee to agree in writing to allow the lessee to acquire ownership of the property for less than the amounts referred to in this section.
