2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Part 5 - Default|§ 11-2A-506. Statute of Limitations

  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.By the original lease contract the parties may reduce the period of limitation to not less than one year.   A cause of action accrues when the default occurs, regardless of the aggrieved party's lack of knowledge of the default.A breach of warranty occurs when tender of delivery is made, except that where a warranty explicitly extends to future performance of the goods and discovery of the breach must await the time of such performance the cause of action accrues when the breach is or should have been discovered.   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.   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 July 1, 1993.     (Code 1981, §11-2A-506, enacted by Ga. L. 1993, p. 633, § 1.)   Code Commission notes.   - Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 1993, "July 1, 1993" was substituted for "this article becomes effective" in subsection (4).

2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Part 5 - Default|§ 11-2A-507. Proof of Market Rent: Time and Place

  Damages based on market rent (Code Section 11-2A-519 or 11-2A-528) are determined according to the rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical to the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the times specified in Code Sections 11-2A-519 and 11-2A-528.   If evidence of rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical to the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the times or places described in this article is not readily available, the rent prevailing within any reasonable time before or after the time described or at any other place or for a different lease term which in commercial judgment or under usage of trade would serve as a reasonable substitute for the one described may be used, making any proper allowance for the difference, including the cost of transporting the goods to or from the other place.   Evidence of a relevant rent prevailing at a time or place or for a lease term other than the one described in this article offered by one party is not admissible unless and until he has given the other party notice the court finds sufficient to prevent unfair surprise.   If the prevailing rent or value of any goods regularly leased in any established market is in issue, reports in official publications or trade journals or in newspapers or periodicals of general circulation published as the reports of that market are admissible in evidence.The circumstances of the preparation of the report may be shown to affect its weight but not its admissibility.

GA Code § 11-2A-508 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Part 5 - Default|§ 11-2A-508. Lessee's Remedies

  If a lessor fails to deliver the goods in conformity to the lease contract (Code Section 11-2A-509) or repudiates the lease contract (Code Section 11-2A-402), or a lessee rightfully rejects the goods (Code Section 11-2A-509) or justifiably revokes acceptance of the goods (Code Section 11-2A-517), then with respect to any goods involved, and with respect to all of the goods if under an installment lease contract the value of the whole lease contract is substantially impaired (Code Section 11-2A-510), the lessor is in default under the lease contract and the lessee may:     Cancel the lease contract (Code Section 11-2A-505(1));   Recover so much of the rent and security as has been paid and is just under the circumstances;   Cover and recover damages as to all goods affected whether or not they have been identified to the lease contract (Code Sections 11-2A-518 and 11-2A-520), or recover damages for nondelivery (Code Sections 11-2A-519 and 11-2A-520);   Exercise any other rights or pursue any other remedies provided in the lease contract.    If a lessor fails to deliver the goods in conformity to the lease contract or repudiates the lease contract, the lessee may also:   If the goods have been identified, recover them (Code Section 11-2A-522); or   In a proper case, pursue those rights contained in Code Section 11-2A-521.   If a lessor is otherwise in default under a lease contract, the lessee may exercise the rights and pursue the remedies provided in the lease contract, which may include a right to cancel the lease, and in Code Section 11-2A-519(3).   If a lessor has breached a warranty, whether express or implied, the lessee may recover damages (Code Section 11-2A-519(4)).   On rightful rejection or justifiable revocation of acceptance, a lessee has a security interest in goods in the lessee's possession or control for any rent and security that has been paid and any expenses reasonably incurred in their inspection, receipt, transportation, and care and custody and may hold those goods and dispose of them in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, subject to Code Section 11-2A-527(5).   Subject to the provisions of Code Section 11-2A-407, a lessee, on notifying the lessor of the lessee's intention to do so, may deduct all or any part of the damages resulting from any default under the lease contract from any part of the rent still due under the same lease contract.

  Subject to the provisions of Code Section 11-2A-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.   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.     (Code 1981, §11-2A-509, enacted by Ga.

  Under an installment lease contract 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.   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.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Part 5 - Default|§ 11-2A-511. Merchant Lessee's Duties as to Rightfully Rejected Goods

  Subject to any security interest of a lessee (Code Section 11-2A-508(5)), 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 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.   If a merchant lessee (subsection (1)) or any other lessee (Code Section 11-2A-512) disposes of goods, he 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.   In complying with this section or Code Section 11-2A-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.   A purchaser who purchases in good faith from a lessee pursuant to this section or Code Section 11-2A-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 article.

  Except as otherwise provided with respect to goods that threaten to decline in value speedily (Code Section 11-2A-511) and subject to any security interest of a lessee (Code Section 11-2A-508(5)):     The lessee, after rejection of goods in the lessee's possession, shall hold them with reasonable care at the lessor's or the supplier's disposition for areasonable time after the lessee's seasonable notification of rejection;   If the lessor or the supplier gives no instructions within a reasonable time after notification of rejection, the lessee may store the rejected goods for the lessor's or the supplier's account or ship them to the lessor or the supplier or dispose of them for the lessor's or the supplier's account with reimbursement in the manner provided in Code Section 11-2A-511; but   The lessee has no further obligations with regard to goods rightfully rejected.    Action by the lessee pursuant to subsection (1) is not acceptance or conversion.    (Code 1981, §11-2A-512, enacted by Ga. L. 1993, p. 633, § 1.)

  If any tender or delivery by the lessor or the supplier is rejected because 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.   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 seasonably notifies the lessee.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Part 5 - Default|§ 11-2A-514. Waiver of Lessee's Objections

  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:     If, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could have cured it (Code Section 11-2A-513); or   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.    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.    (Code 1981, §11-2A-514, enacted by Ga. L. 1993, p. 633, § 1; Ga. L. 2010, p. 481, § 2-14/HB 451.)

L. 2010, p. 481, § 3-1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that: "This Act applies to a document of title that is issued or a bailment that arises on or after the effective date of this Act. This Act does not apply to a document of title that is issued or a bailment that arises before the effective date of this Act even if the document of title or bailment would be subject to this Act if the document of title had been issued or bailment had arisen on or after the effective date of this Act. This Act does not apply to a right of action that has accrued before the effective date of this Act." This Act became effective May 27, 2010.   Ga. L. 2010, p. 481, § 3-2, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that: "A document of title issued or a bailment that arises before the effective date of this Act and the rights, documents, and interests flowing from that document or bailment are governed by any statute or other rule amended or repealed by this Act as if such amendment or repeal had not occurred and may be terminated, completed, consummated, or enforced under that statute or other rule."

2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Part 5 - Default|§ 11-2A-515. Acceptance of Goods

  Acceptance of goods occurs after the lessee has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods and     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   The lessee fails to make an effective rejection of the goods (Code Section 11-2A-509(2)).    Acceptance of a part of any commercial unit is acceptance of that entire unit.    (Code 1981, §11-2A-515, enacted by Ga. L. 1993, p. 633, § 1.)

  A lessee must pay rent for any goods accepted in accordance with the lease contract, with due allowance for goods rightfully rejected or not delivered.   A lessee's acceptance of goods precludes rejection of the goods accepted.In the case of a finance lease, if made with knowledge of a nonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because of it.In any other case, if made with knowledge of a nonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because of it unless the acceptance was on the reasonable assumption that the nonconformity would be seasonably cured.Acceptance does not of itself impair any other remedy provided by this article or the lease agreement for nonconformity.   If a tender has been accepted:     Within a reasonable time after the lessee discovers or should have discovered any default, the lessee shall notify the lessor and the supplier, if any, or be barred from any remedy against the party not notified;   Except in the case of a consumer lease, within a reasonable time after the lessee receives notice of litigation for infringement or the like (Code Section 11-2A-211) the lessee shall notify the lessor or be barred from any remedy over for liability established by the litigation; and   The burden is on the lessee to establish any default.    If a lessee is sued for breach of a warranty or other obligation for which a lessor or a supplier is answerable over the following apply:   The lessee may give the lessor or the supplier, or both, written notice of the litigation.If the notice states that the person notified may come in and defend and that if the person notified does not do so that person will be bound in any action against that person by the lessee by any determination of fact common to the two litigations, then unless the person notified after seasonable receipt of the notice does come in and defend that person is so bound.   The lessor or the supplier may demand in writing that the lessee turn over control of the litigation including settlement if the claim is one for infringement or the like (Code Section 11-2A-211) or else be barred from any remedy over.If the demand states that the lessor or the supplier agrees to bear all expense and to satisfy any adverse judgment, then unless the lessee after seasonable receipt of the demand does turn over control the lessee is so barred.   Subsections (3) and (4) apply to any obligation of a lessee to hold the lessor or the supplier harmless against infringement or the like (Code Section 11-2A-211).

2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Part 5 - Default|§ 11-2A-517. Revocation of Acceptance of Goods

  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:     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   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.    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.   If the lease agreement so provides, the lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit because of other defaults by the lessor.   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.   A lessee who so revokes has the same rights and duties with regard to the goods involved as if the lessee had rejected them.

  After a default by a lessor under the lease contract of the type described in Code Section 11-2A-508(1) or, if agreed, after other default by the lessor, the lessee may cover by making any purchase or lease of or contract to purchase or lease goods in substitution for those due from the lessor.   Except as otherwise provided with respect to damages liquidated in the lease agreement (Code Section 11-2A-504) or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the parties (Code Sections 11-1-302 and 11-2A-503), if a lessee's cover is by a lease agreement substantially similar to the original lease agreement and the new lease agreement is made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, the lessee may recover from the lessor as damages (i) the present value, as of the date of the commencement of the term of the new lease agreement, of the rent under the new lease agreement applicable to that period of the new lease term which is comparable to the then remaining term of the original lease agreement minus the present value as of the same date of the total rent for the then remaining lease term of the original lease agreement, and (ii) any incidental or consequential damages, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessor's default.   If a lessee's cover is by lease agreement that for any reason does not qualify for treatment under subsection (2), or is by purchase or otherwise, the lessee may recover from the lessor as if the lessee had elected not to cover and Code Section 11-2A-519 governs.
