Best Answer

An unexpired lease can be reaffirmed or the vehicle can be surrendered. The leasing company will take the car back if you are surrendering it. Keep it insured or you will have to pay for any damage sustained by the vehicle or caused by the vehicle until the leasing company actually takes possession of it.

If you are the cosigner on auto lease and the primary lessor files bankruptcy does the cosigner have the right to take over the vehicle lease?
