Consumer Warranty Law: 14.2.3.4 Leased Vehicles
A number of lemon laws specifically apply to leased vehicles,54 but in other states the language is not clear. Some lemon laws define a covered motor vehicle merely as one that is registered in the state, and the statute should apply to leased vehicles registered in that state. Other laws define motor vehicle by its physical characteristics, such as weight, and not according to whether the car is sold or leased, and should also cover leased vehicles.
