Insecurity: adequate assurance of performance
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) A lease contract imposes an obligation on each
party that the other’s expectation of receiving due performance
shall not be impaired.
(2) If reasonable grounds for insecurity arise with respect to
the performance of either party, the insecure party may demand
in writing adequate assurance of due performance. Until the insecure party receives that assurance, if commercially reasonable
the insecure party may suspend any performance for which he or
she has not already received the agreed return.
(3) A repudiation of the lease contract occurs if assurance of
due performance adequate under the circumstances of the particular case is not provided to the insecure party within a reasonable
time, not to exceed 30 days after receipt of a demand by the other
party.
(4) Between merchants, the reasonableness of grounds for insecurity and the adequacy of any assurance offered shall be determined according to commercial standards.
(5) Acceptance of a nonconforming delivery or payment does
not prejudice the aggrieved party’s right to demand adequate assurance of future performance.
