a. Subsequent to having failed to make a timely rental payment, the lessee has surrendered the property to the lessor, if and when requested by the lessor.
b. Not more than sixty days has passed since the lessee has returned the property.
2. As a condition precedent to reinstatement of a consumer rental purchase agreement, a lessor may charge the outstanding balance of any accrued payments and delinquency charges, a reinstatement fee, and the delivery charges allowable by section 537.3612, subsection 2, if redelivery of the item is necessary.
3. If reinstatement occurs pursuant to this section, the lessor shall provide the lessee with the same item, if available, leased by the lessee prior to reinstatement.
