About UHR Rents

UHR Rents was founded in 1986 by Ernie Lewallen, who opened the company's first store in Eastgate, Ohio, with a simple goal: to help people turn their house into a home. That commitment to serving families with honesty, value, and exceptional customer service became the foundation of our company and continues to guide us today.

40+ years later, UHR Rents has grown to six locations serving Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and the Greater Cincinnati Tri-State region. We have proudly helped thousands of individuals and families create comfortable homes with quality furniture, appliances, electronics, and affordable lease-to-own options, while serving tens of thousands of customers throughout our history.

Ernie was more than the founder of UHR Rents. He was a respected leader in the rent-to-own industry, serving for more than two decades on the APRO Board of Directors, including as President, and was recognized with numerous industry honors for his dedication, integrity, and leadership. Those who knew Ernie remember his unwavering commitment to doing things the right way, putting customers first, and treating people with honesty and respect. His legacy continues to shape our company every day.

Today, UHR Rents remains a locally owned and operated business focused on delivering outstanding value, fast and friendly service, and one of the area's best selections of furniture, appliances, electronics, and home essentials. We continue to build on the foundation Ernie created by investing in our stores, our team, and the communities we proudly serve.
