Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 12a:2a-517, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 12a:2a-517.
(1) A lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit whose nonconformity
substantially impairs its value to the lessee if the lessee has accepted it: (a) except in the case of a finance lease, on the reasonable assumption that its nonconformity
would be cured and it has not been seasonably cured; or (b) without discovery of the nonconformity if the lessee's acceptance was reasonably
induced either by the lessor's assurances or, except in the case of a finance lease,
by the difficulty of discovery before acceptance. (2) Except in the case of a finance lease that is not a consumer lease, a lessee may
revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit if the lessor defaults under the lease
contract and the default substantially impairs the value of that lot or commercial
unit to the lessee. (3) If the lease agreement so provides, the lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot
or commercial unit because of other defaults by the lessor. (4) Revocation of acceptance shall occur within a reasonable time after the lessee
discovers or should have discovered the ground for it and before any substantial change
in condition of the goods which is not caused by the nonconformity. Revocation is not effective until the lessee notifies the lessor. (5) A lessee who so revokes has the same rights and duties with regard to the goods
involved as if the lessee had rejected them.
