Utah Code § 70A-2a-221

Casualty to identified goods
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
If a lease contract requires goods identified when the lease contract is made, and the goods
suffer casualty without fault of the lessee, the lessor or the supplier before delivery, or the goods
suffer casualty before risk of loss passes to the lessee pursuant to the lease agreement or Section
70A-2a-219, then:
(1) if the loss is total, the lease contract is avoided; and
(2) if the loss is partial or the goods have so deteriorated as to no longer conform to the lease
contract, the lessee may nevertheless demand inspection and at his option either treat the
lease contract as avoided or, except in a finance lease, accept the goods with due allowance
from the rent payable for the balance of the lease term for the deterioration or the deficiency in
quantity but without further right against the lessor.
