§ 507. § 2A—507.

• Proof of market rent: time and place (1) Damages based on market rent (§ 2A—519 or 2A—528) are determined according to the rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical to the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the times specified in sections 2A—519 and 2A—528 of this title. (2) If evidence of rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical
  to the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the
  times or places described in this article is not readily available, the rent prevailing
  within any reasonable time before or after the time described or at any other place
  or for a different lease term which in commercial judgment or under usage of trade
  would serve as a reasonable substitute for the one described may be used, making any
  proper allowance for the difference, including the cost of transporting the goods
  to or from the other place. (3) Evidence of a relevant rent prevailing at a time or place or for a lease term other
  than the one described in this article offered by one party is not admissible unless
  and until he or she has given the other party notice the court finds sufficient to
  prevent unfair surprise. (4) If the prevailing rent or value of any goods regularly leased in any established market
  is in issue, reports in official publications or trade journals or in newspapers or
  periodicals of general circulation published as the reports of that market are admissible
  in evidence. The circumstances of the preparation of the report may be shown to affect
  its weight but not its admissibility. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
