§1667d Civil liability of lessors

Summary

If a lessor (the person who rents out property) fails to follow the rules in sections 1667a or 1667b, that lessor can be sued and held responsible under section 1640. If a lessor breaks a rule in section 1667c and someone suffers actual harm, that person may also sue under section 1640. For sections 1640 and 1641, the word "creditor" includes a lessor. Even if section 1640(e) says otherwise, lawsuits may be filed in any U.S. district court or other court that can hear the case. Claims about failing to disclose or follow these lease rules must be brought within one year after the lease ends.
