Implied warranty of fitness for particular purpose

84-2a-213. Implied warranty of fitness for particular purpose. Except in a finance lease, if the lessor at the time the lease contract is made has reason to know of any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the lessee is relying on the lessor's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is in the lease contract an implied warranty that the goods will be fit for that purpose. History: L. 1991, ch. 295, § 22; February 1, 1992. KANSAS COMMENT, 1996 This section extends the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose to leases. It is based on section 84-2-315, with changes only to make the provision applicable to leases. See 1996 Kansas Comments to 84-2-315 for further discussion. As with the implied warranty of merchantability, the section makes clear that this warranty does not arise in a finance lease. Indeed, even if the section did not specifically exclude finance leases, the implied warranty of fitness could not arise because in a finance lease the lessee does not rely on the lessor's skill or judgment in selecting the goods. See Wight v. AgriStor Leasing, 652 F. Supp. 1000 (D. Kan. 1987).
