I haven't researched this, but just off the top of my head, renting by
month and leasing by year are the same except for the term. Granted, a
daily rental would stretch B22 credulity. However, given a history here
of months, I've never heard of anything limiting in the Bankruptcy Code
that specifies the minimum term for a lease. From there, like many other
parts of the means test, this is an all-or-nothing deduction, yet real
life is more gray. I'd then look at how much of the six-month lookback
period did this exist... if only 1 or 2, that seems to be asking for an
objection, if 5 or 6, that would seem fairly solid.
My two cents,
Hale

Does anyone know if a vehicle rental (e.g. a monthly rental
agreement) would qualify a debtor to take the means test deduction
for vehicle ownership expense (like a lease or finance) on Line 13a?
