A Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement is generally used to describe the formal contract or agreement that binds the leasing customer to the terms and conditions set forth by a leasing company or bank financier. It is usually prepared or provided by the dealership. This type of Lease is one the methods by which a Vehicle may be financed. It allows the customer to drive a Vehicle by making monthly payments to the financier. The payments serve to compensate the financier for the depreciation in value of the vehicle during the time it is being driven. The financier will also assess a monthly finance charge that is similar to interest on a loan. This compensates the financier for the use of their money that is tied up in the purchase of the vehicle from a dealer. The financier or dealership actually owns the vehicle. The vehicle is leased for a specific period of time and is typically returned to the dealership at the end of that time.
The following Lease is meant to be used by one individual dealing with another individual rather than a dealership situation. It therefore does not contain disclosures required by the Federal Consumer Leasing Act.
