2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 2A - Leases|Subtitle 5 - Default|Part I - In General|Section 2A-501 - Default: Procedure

    (1)    Whether the lessor or the lessee is in default under a lease contract is determined by the lease agreement and this title.    (2)    If the lessor or the lessee is in default under the lease contract, the party seeking enforcement has rights and remedies as provided in this title and, except as limited by this title, as provided in the lease agreement.    (3)    If the lessor or the lessee is in default under the lease contract, the party seeking enforcement may reduce the party’s claim to judgment, or otherwise enforce the lease contract by self-help or any available judicial procedure or nonjudicial procedure, including administrative proceeding, arbitration, or the like, in accordance with this title.    (4)    Except as otherwise provided in § 1–305(a) of this article or the lease agreement, the rights and remedies referred to in subsections (2) and (3) are cumulative.    (5)    If the lease agreement covers both real property and goods, the party seeking enforcement may proceed under this part as to the goods, or under other applicable law as to both the real property and the goods in accordance with that party’s rights and remedies in respect of the real property, in which case this part does not apply.

    (1)    On cancellation of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged, but any right based on prior default or performance survives, and the cancelling party also retains any remedy for default of the whole lease contract or any unperformed balance.    (2)    On termination of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged but any right based on prior default or performance survives.    (3)    Unless the contrary intention clearly appears, expressions of “cancellation,” “rescission,” or the like of the lease contract may not be construed as a renunciation or discharge of any claim in damages for an antecedent default.    (4)    Rights and remedies for material misrepresentation or fraud include all rights and remedies available under this title for default.    (5)    Neither rescission nor a claim for rescission of the lease contract nor rejection or return of the goods may bar or be deemed inconsistent with a claim for damages or other right or remedy.
MD. Commercial Law Code Ann. §  2A-506 (2021)
2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 2A - Leases|Subtitle 5 - Default|Part I - In General|Section 2A-506 - Statute of Limitations

    (1)    An action for default under a lease contract, including breach of warranty or indemnity, must be commenced within 4 years after the cause of action accrued.    (2)    A cause of action for default accrues when the act or omission on which the default or breach of warranty is based is or should have been discovered by the aggrieved party, or when the default occurs, whichever is later. A cause of action for indemnity accrues when the act or omission on which the claim for indemnity is based is or should have been discovered by the indemnified party, whichever is later.    (3)    If an action commenced within the time limited by subsection (1) is so terminated as to leave available a remedy by another action for the same default or breach of warranty or indemnity, the other action may be commenced after the expiration of the time limited and within 6 months after the termination of the first action unless the termination resulted from voluntary discontinuance or from dismissal for failure or neglect to prosecute.    (4)    This section does not alter the law on tolling of the statute of limitations nor does it apply to causes of action that have accrued before this title becomes effective.

The circumstances of the preparation of the report may be shown to affect its weight but not its admissibility.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 2A - Leases|Subtitle 5 - Default|Part II - Default by Lessor|Section 2A-508 - Lessee's Remedies

    (1)    Subject to the provisions of § 2A-510 on default in installment lease contracts, if the goods or the tender or delivery fail in any respect to conform to the lease contract, the lessee may reject or accept the goods or accept any commercial unit or units and reject the rest of the goods.    (2)    Rejection of goods is ineffective unless it is within a reasonable time after tender or delivery of the goods and the lessee seasonably notifies the lessor.
MD. Commercial Law Code Ann. §  2A-510 (2021)
2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 2A - Leases|Subtitle 5 - Default|Part II - Default by Lessor|Section 2A-510 - Installment Lease Contracts Rejection and Default

    (1)    Under an installment lease agreement, a lessee may reject any delivery that is nonconforming if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of that delivery and cannot be cured or the nonconformity is a defect in the required documents; but if the nonconformity does not fall within subsection (2) and the lessor or the supplier gives adequate assurance of its cure, the lessee must accept that delivery.    (2)    Whenever nonconformity or default with respect to one or more deliveries substantially impairs the value of the installment lease contract as a whole there is a default with respect to the whole. But, the aggrieved party reinstates the installment lease contract as a whole if the aggrieved party accepts a nonconforming delivery without seasonably notifying of cancellation or brings an action with respect only to past deliveries or demands performance as to future deliveries.
MD. Commercial Law Code Ann. §  2A-511 (2021)
2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 2A - Leases|Subtitle 5 - Default|Part II - Default by Lessor|Section 2A-511 - Merchant Lessee's Duties as to Rightfully Rejected Goods

    (1)    If a lessor or a supplier has no agent or place of business at the market of rejection, a merchant lessee, after rejection of goods in his (or her) possession or control, shall follow any reasonable instructions received from the lessor or the supplier with respect to the goods. In the absence of those instructions, a merchant lessee shall make reasonable efforts to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the goods for the lessor’s account if they threaten to decline in value speedily. Instructions are not reasonable if on demand indemnity for expenses is not forthcoming.    (2)    If a merchant lessee (subsection (1)) or any other lessee (§ 2A-512 of this subtitle) disposes of goods, he (or she) is entitled to reimbursement either from the lessor or the supplier or out of the proceeds for reasonable expenses of caring for and disposing of the goods and, if the expenses include no disposition commission, to such commission as is usual in the trade or, if there is none, to a reasonable sum not exceeding 10 percent of the gross proceeds.    (3)    In complying with this section or § 2A-512, the lessee is held only to good faith. Good faith conduct hereunder is neither acceptance or conversion nor the basis of an action for damages.    (4)    A purchaser who purchases in good faith from a lessee pursuant to this section or § 2A-512 takes the goods free of any rights of the lessor and the supplier even though the lessee fails to comply with one or more of the requirements of this title.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 2A - Leases|Subtitle 5 - Default|Part II - Default by Lessor|Section 2A-513 - Cure by Lessor of Improper Tender or Delivery; Replacement

    (1)    If any tender or delivery by the lessor or the supplier is rejected because it is nonconforming and the time for performance has not yet expired, the lessor or the supplier may seasonably notify the lessee of the lessor’s or the supplier’s intention to cure and may then make a conforming delivery within the time provided in the lease contract.    (2)    If the lessee rejects a nonconforming tender that the lessor or the supplier had reasonable grounds to believe would be acceptable with or without money allowance, the lessor or the supplier may have a further reasonable time to substitute a conforming tender if he (or she) seasonably notifies the lessee.

2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 2A - Leases|Subtitle 5 - Default|Part II - Default by Lessor|Section 2A-514 - Waiver of Lessee's Objections

    (1)    In rejecting goods, a lessee’s failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes the lessee from relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default:        (a)    If, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could have cured it (§ 2A-513); or        (b)    Between merchants if the lessor or the supplier after rejection has made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes to rely.    (2)    A lessee’s failure to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent in the documents.
MD. Commercial Law Code Ann. §  2A-515 (2021)
2021 Maryland Statutes|Commercial Law|Title 2A - Leases|Subtitle 5 - Default|Part II - Default by Lessor|Section 2A-515 - Acceptance of Goods

    (1)    Acceptance of goods occurs after the lessee has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods and        (a)    The lessee signifies or acts with respect to the goods in a manner that signifies to the lessor or the supplier that the goods are conforming or that the lessee will take or retain them in spite of their nonconformity; or        (b)    The lessee fails to make an effective rejection of the goods (§ 2A-509(2)).    (2)    Acceptance of a part of any commercial unit is acceptance of that entire unit.
