FAQ
What should I include if I want to add a mileage cap to my lease?
Specify the exact mileage limit, the daily charge for overage, and how excess miles will be calculated. Some leases use a flat fee per mile, while others charge a percentage of the lease value. Always include a clause for how disputes over mileage will be resolved.
Can I use one of these templates if I’m leasing a boat or RV instead of a car?
While these templates focus on vehicles, you can adapt them for boats or RVs by replacing terms like ‘mileage’ with ‘operating hours’ or ‘fuel usage.’ Consult a legal professional to ensure compliance with state laws for recreational vehicle leases, as maintenance and liability rules often differ.
How do I handle a lease where the lessee wants to buy the vehicle early?
Include an ‘early purchase option’ clause that outlines the buyout price formula (usually based on the vehicle’s residual value) and any fees. Specify whether the lessee must pay off the remaining lease balance or if the lessor will apply a portion of payments toward the purchase price.
