§ 517. § 2A—517.
- Revocation of acceptance of goods (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 must 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. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
