§ 528. § 2A—528.

  • Lessor’s damages for non-acceptance, failure to pay, repudiation, or other default (1) Except as otherwise provided with respect to damages liquidated in the lease agreement (§ 2A—504) or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the parties (§§ 1—302 and 2A—503), if a lessor elects to retain the goods or a lessor elects to dispose of the goods and the disposition is by lease agreement that for any reason does not qualify for treatment under section 2A—527(2) of this title, or is by sale or otherwise, the lessor may recover from the lessee as damages for
    a default of the type described in section 2A—523(1) or 2A—523(3)(a) of this title, or, if agreed, for other default of the lessee, (i) accrued and unpaid rent as of
    the date of default if the lessee has never taken possession of the goods, or, if
    the lessee has taken possession of the goods, as of the date the lessor repossesses
    the goods or an earlier date on which the lessee makes a tender of the goods to the
    lessor, (ii) the present value as of the date determined under clause (i) of the total
    rent for the then remaining lease term of the original lease agreement minus the present
    value as of the same date of the market rent at the place where the goods are located
    computed for the same lease term, and (iii) any incidental damages allowed under section 2A—530 of this title, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee’s default. (2) If the measure of damages provided in subsection (1) of this section is inadequate
    to put a lessor in as good a position as performance would have, the measure of damages
    is the present value of the profit, including reasonable overhead, the lessor would
    have made from full performance by the lessee, together with any incidental damages
    allowed under section 2A—530 of this title, due allowance for costs reasonably incurred and due credit for payments or proceeds
    of disposition. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995; amended 2007, No. 99 (Adj. Sess.), § 10.)
