Title 9A : Uniform Commercial Code

Article 002A : Leases

(Cite as: 9A V.S.A. § 2A-514)
  • § 2A—514. Waiver of lessee’s objections

    (1) In rejecting goods, a lessee’s failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes the lessee from relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default:

    (a) if, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could have cured it (§ 2A—513); or

    (b) between merchants if the lessor or the supplier after rejection has made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes to rely.

    (2) A lessee’s failure to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent in the documents. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995; amended 2015, No. 51, § B.6, eff. June 3, 2015.)
