Laws and Regulations Consumer Leasing
CFPB Manual V.2 (October 2012) CLA 1
Consumer Leasing Act
1
For consumers, leasing is an alternative to buying property either with cash or on credit. A lease
is a contract between a lessor (the property owner) and a lessee (the property user) for the use of
property subject to stated terms and limitations for a specified period and at a specified payment.
The Consumer Leasing Act (15 U.S.C. 1667 et seq.) (CLA) was passed in 1976 to assure that
meaningful and accurate disclosure of lease terms is provided to consumers before entering into
a contract. It applies to consumer leases of personal property. With this information, consumers
can more easily compare one lease with another, as well as compare the cost of leasing with the
cost of buying on credit or the opportunity cost of paying cash. In addition, the CLA puts limits
on balloon payments sometimes due at the end of a lease and regulates advertising.
Originally, the CLA was part of the Truth in Lending Act and was implemented by Regulation Z.
When Regulation Z was revised in 1981, Regulation M was issued and contained those
provisions that govern consumer leases.
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (the E-Sign Act), 15 U.S.C. 7001
et seq., was enacted in 2000 and did not require implementing regulations. On November 9, 2007,
amendments to Regulation M and the official staff commentary were issued to simply the regulation
and provide guidance on the electronic delivery of disclosures consistent with the E-Sign Act.
2
The Dodd-Frank Act granted rulemaking authority under the CLA to the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) and, with respect to entities under its jurisdiction, granted authority to
the CFPB to supervise for and enforce compliance with the CLA and its implementing
regulations.
3
In December 2011, the CFPB restated the Federal Reserve’s implementing
regulation at 12 CFR Part 1013 (76 Fed. Reg. 78500)(December 19, 2011).
Today, a relatively small number of banks engage in consumer leasing. The trend seems to be for
leasing to be carried out through specialized bank subsidiaries, vehicle finance companies, other
finance companies, or directly by retailers.

These reflect FFIEC-approved procedures.

1029 of the Dodd-Frank Act generally excludes from this transfer of authority, subject to certain exceptions, any rulemaking
authority over a motor vehicle dealer that is predominantly engaged in the sale and servicing of motor vehicles, the leasing and
servicing of motor vehicles, or both.

Key Definitions
The definition of certain terms is necessary to understand the requirements imposed by the CLA.
These terms include lease, lessor, lessee, consumer lease, open-end lease, closed-end lease,
realized value, residual value, gross capitalized cost, capitalized cost reduction, and adjusted
capitalized cost.
Lessee
A lessee is a natural person who enters into or is offered a consumer lease.
Lessor
A lessor is a natural person or organization who regularly leases, offers to lease, or arranges for
the lease of personal property under a consumer lease. A person who leases or offers to lease
more than five times in the preceding or current calendar year meets this definition.
Consumer Lease
A consumer lease is a contract between a lessor and a lessee:
For the use of personal property by an individual (natural person);
To be used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes;
For a period of more than four months (week-to-week and month-to-month leases do not
meet this criterion, even though they may be extended beyond four months); and
With a total contractual cost of no more than the threshold amount specified in Appendix C
at 12 CFR 1013.2(e)-9.
4
Specifically excluded from coverage are leases that are:
For business, agricultural or made to an organization or government;
For real property;
For personal property which are incidental to the lease of real property, subject to certain
conditions; and
For credit sales, as defined in Regulation Z 12 CFR 1026.2(a)(16).
4
Appendix C states that a consumer lease is exempt from these requirements if the total contractual obligation exceeds the
threshold amount in effect at the time of consummation. The threshold amount for the period January 1, 2012 through December
31, 2012 is $51,800. See Appendix C for the threshold amounts for different time periods.
CFPB Consumer
Laws and Regulations Consumer Leasing
CFPB Manual V.2 (October 2012) CLA 3
A lease meeting all of these criteria is covered by the CLA and Regulation M. If any one of these
criteria is not met, for example, if the leased property is used primarily for business purposes or
if the total contractual cost exceeds the amount specified in 12 CFR 1013.2(e)-9, the CLA and
Regulation M do not apply.
Consumer leases fall into one of two categories: closed end and open end. Since the information
required to be disclosed to the consumer will vary with the kind of lease, it is important to note
the difference between them. However, to properly understand the difference, realized value and
residual value must first be defined.
Realized Value
The realized value is the price received by the lessor of the leased property at disposition, the
highest offer for disposition of the leased property, or the fair market value of the leased property
at the end of the lease term.
Residual Value
The residual value is the value of the leased property at the end of the lease, as estimated or
assigned at consummation of the lease by the lessor.
Open-End Lease
An open-end lease is a lease in which the amount owed at the end of the lease term is based on the
difference between the residual value of the leased property and its realized value. The consumer
may pay all or part of the difference if the realized value is less than the residual value or he may
get a refund if the realized value is greater than the residual value at scheduled termination.
Closed-End Lease
A closed-end lease is a lease other than an open-end lease. This type of lease allows the
consumer to “walk away” at the end of the contract period, with no further payment obligation –
unless the property has been damaged or has sustained abnormal wear and tear.
Gross Capitalized Cost
The gross capitalized cost is the amount agreed upon by the lessor and lessee as the value of the
leased property, plus any items that are capitalized or amortized during the lease term. These items
may include taxes, insurance, service agreements, and any outstanding prior credit or lease balance.
Capitalized Cost Reduction
This term means the total amount of any rebate, cash payment, net trade-in allowance, and
noncash credit that reduces the gross capitalized cost.
Adjusted Capitalized Cost
This is the gross capitalized cost less the capitalized cost reduction and the amount used by the
lessor in calculating the base periodic payment.

Laws and Regulations Consumer Leasing
CFPB Manual V.2 (October 2012) CLA 4
General Disclosure Requirements
Lessors are required by federal law to provide the consumer with leasing cost information and
other disclosures in a format similar to the model disclosure forms found in Appendix A to the
regulation. Certain pieces of this information must be kept together and must be segregated from
other lease information. All of the information stated must be accurate, clear and conspicuous,
and provided in writing in a form that the consumer may keep.
The institution may provide the general disclosures required by 12 CFR 1013 to the lessee in
electronic form, subject to compliance with the consumer consent and other applicable
provisions of the E-Sign Act. The E-Sign Act does not mandate that institutions or consumers
use or accept electronic records or signatures. It permits institutions to satisfy any statutory or
regulatory requirements by providing the information electronically after obtaining the
consumer’s affirmative consent. The institution must provide consumers with the following
information before consumers can give consent:
Any right or option to have the information provided in paper or non-electronic form;
The right to withdraw the consent to receive information electronically and the
consequences, including fees, of doing so;
The scope of the consent (for example, whether the consent applies only to a particular
transaction or to identified categories of records that may be provided during the course of
the parties’ relationship);
The procedures to withdraw consent and to update information needed to contact the
consumer electronically; and
The methods by which a consumer may obtain, after consent and upon request, a paper copy
of an electronic record after consent has been given to receive the information electronically
and whether any fee will be charged.
The consumer must consent electronically or confirm consent electronically in a manner that
“reasonably demonstrates that the consumer can access information in the electronic form that
will be used to provide the information that is the subject of the consent.”
After the consent, if an institution changes the hardware or software requirements such that a
consumer may be prevented from accessing and retaining information electronically, the
institution must notify the consumer of the new requirements and must allow the consumer to
withdraw consent without charge.
Institutions must provide disclosures in the following circumstances. (Advertisement
requirements are discussed in the advertising section.)
CFPB Consumer
Laws and Regulations Consumer Leasing
CFPB Manual V.2 (October 2012) CLA 5
Prior to or Due at Lease Signing
A dated disclosure must be given to the consumer before signing the lease and must contain all
of the information detailed in Section 4 of the regulation.
Renegotiations and Extensions
New disclosures also must be provided when a consumer renegotiates, or extends a lease, subject
to certain exceptions.
Multiple Lessors/Lessees
In the event of multiple lessors, one lessor on behalf of all the lessors may make the required
disclosures. If the lease involves more than one lessee, the required disclosures should be given
to any lessee who is primarily liable.
Advertising
Advertisements concerning consumer leases must also comply with certain disclosure
requirements. All advertisements must be accurate. If an advertisement includes any reference to
certain “trigger terms— the amount of any payment, statement of a capitalized cost reduction
(e.g., down payment), or other payment required prior to or at lease signing or delivery, or that
no such payment is required — then the ad must also state the following:
That the transaction is for a lease;
The total amount due prior to or at lease signing or delivery;
The number, amounts and due dates or periods of the scheduled payments;
A statement of whether or not a security deposit is required; and
A statement that an extra charge may be imposed at the end of the lease term where the
lessee’s liability (if any) is based on the difference between the residual value of the leased
property and its realized value at the end of the lease term (12 CFR 1013.7(d)(2)).
An advertisement for an open-end lease also must include a statement that extra charges may be
imposed at the end of the lease based on the difference between the residual value and the
realized value at the end of the lease term.
If lessors give a percentage rate in an advertisement, the rate cannot be more prominent than any
of the other required disclosures. They must also include a statement that “this percentage may
not measure the overall cost of financing this lease.” The lessor cannot use the term “annual
percentage rate,” “annual lease rate,” or any equivalent term.
Some fees (license, registration, taxes, and inspection fees) may vary by state or locality. An
advertisement may exclude these third-party fees from the disclosure of a periodic payment or total
amount due at lease signing or delivery, provided the ad states that these have been excluded.
CFPB Consumer
Laws and Regulations Consumer Leasing
CFPB Manual V.2 (October 2012) CLA 6
Otherwise, an ad may include these fees in the periodic payment or total amount due, provided it
states that the fees are based on a particular state or locality and indicates that the fees may vary.
For an advertisement accessed by the consumer in electronic form, the required disclosures may
be provided to the consumer in electronic form in the advertisement, without regard to the
consumer consent or other provisions of the E-Sign Act. An electronic advertisement (such as an
advertisement on an Internet website) that provides a table or schedule of the required
disclosures is considered a single advertisement if the advertisement clearly refers the consumer
to the location where the additional required information begins. For example, in an electronic
advertisement, a term triggering additional disclosures may be accompanied by a link that
directly connects the consumer to the additional disclosures.
Limits on Balloon Payments
In order to limit balloon payments that may be required of the consumer, certain sections of the
regulation call for reasonable calculations and estimates. These provisions protect the consumer
at early termination of a lease, at the end of the lease term, or in delinquency, default, or late
payment status. The provisions limit the lessee’s liability at the end of the lease term and set
reasonableness standards for wear and use charges, early termination charges, and penalties or
fees for delinquency.
Penalties and Liability
Criminal and civil liability provisions of the Truth in Lending Act also apply to the CLA.
Actions alleging failure to disclose the required information, or otherwise comply with the CLA,
must be brought within one year of the termination of the lease agreement.
Record Retention
Lessors are required to maintain evidence of compliance with the requirements imposed by
Regulation M, other than the advertising requirements under Section 7 of the regulation, for a
period of not less than two years after the date of disclosures are required to be made or an action
is required to be taken.
