Depreciation on equipment rentals

Yes, but since this equipment is rented out and used and abused, it depreciates faster. The Rent-To-Own lobby got the IRS to give them a special 3 yr write off period which applies to my client in principal but my client just rents, not rent to own. My gut tells me that there must be a generally accepted method/life for these type of companies but I haven't found anything definitive yet. Thanks for the comments.
