Excess mileage or damages on vehicle lease after
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 4:15 pm
I've never had a leasing company do so, but I've warned my clients that if the vehicle is damaged post-petition (or perhaps an obscene amount of excess mileage), I think the lessor would have a viable claim for damages, if not under the lease agreement, then perhaps negligence, waste, or the classic law school tort of "trespass to chattel".
