Title 10, Chapter 1, Section 686
( 10-1-686)
(a) A lessee who fails to make timely periodic payments shall have
the right to reinstate the original lease-purchase agreement without
losing any rights or options previously acquired under the
lease-purchase agreement if both of the following apply: (1) The lessee has not missed more than three periodic payments;
and (2) One periodic payment has been missed and the lessee has
surrendered the item to the lessor, if requested by the lessor,
during the time in which payments were missed. (b) A lessee shall not be charged more than one reinstatement fee
per missed periodic payment. A reinstatement fee shall equal the
outstanding balance of any missed payments plus a charge which shall
not exceed $5.00 per missed payment. A delivery fee not to exceed
the original delivery fee may be charged if redelivery of an item is
necessary. (c) If reinstatement occurs pursuant to this Code section, the lessor shall provide the lessee with either the same item leased by the lessee prior to reinstatement or a substitute item of comparable quality and condition. If a substitute item is provided, the lessor shall provide the lessee with all of the information required in Code Section 10-1-682. |
