View history note
Hide history noteA lessor must not recover or seek to recover enforcement expenses from a lessee in excess of those reasonably incurred by the lessor. Enforcement expenses of a lessor extend to those reasonably incurred by the use of the staff and facilities of the lessor.
179R(2)
Any provision of the consumer lease that appears to confer a greater right is void. If enforcement expenses are in fact recovered in excess of this limitation, they may be recovered back.
179R(3)
If there is a dispute between the lessor and the lessee about the amount of enforcement expenses that may be recovered by the lessor, the court may, on application by any of the parties to the dispute, determine the amount of that liability.
