Description
According to Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code, personal property leases requiring total payments of $1,000 or more are not enforceable unless there is a writing, signed either by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by that party's authorized agent. The writing must sufficiently indicate that a lease contract has been made between the parties, and must contain a description of the goods leased, and the term of the lease. A description of the goods to be leased or the lease term is sufficient if it reasonably identifies what is described.
Article 2A also contains provisions regarding the inclusion of, and limitations on, express and implied warranties. Any promise or affirmation of fact by the lessor that is part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods will conform to the promise or affirmation. A description of goods made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods will conform to the description, just as a sample or model made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods will conform to the sample or model. It is unnecessary to use formal words in the lease agreement to create an express warranty, nor need the lessor have a specific intent to make a warranty. Such express warranties may be negated or limited through written provisions in the contract, but such language must be subject to reasonable interpretation to be effective.
