Well, I am actively looking to trade my lease in early. How does it affect your credit?I am not certain, but I do believe it, in the least, has some negative affect on your lease and will drop your Fico; however, I am not sure as to how significant the drop and hit to the credit would be.

when you lease a car you are agreeing to pay for the part of the car you use basicly the miles you put on it and the damage you do to it from new until the lease is up. You will never own the car until you buy it. terminating a lease by droping the car off at the dealer will most definatly be a bad thing for you because it is a loan and a contact you would be breaking. However if you trade it off on your next car it is no problem however you will take a beating on the trade if you are not careful. You can usually cal and get a 10 day payoff on your loan. that tells you how much you need to pay or get in trade for another vehicle. if your vehicle is a good model that retains its value you are set and should not have to much trouble getting out of it. But if you bought a not so desirable model you may not beable to get enough for the trade, then you will be paying more for your next vehicle than it is worth. This is very typical of a car deal and most people fall into this category if they have bought a new car without paying off the last one before getting into their latest one. but to answer the original question if you trade the lease in for a new car(or used) you will have to payout the lease holder to make the new car deal. That is the term of your lease. Alot of times if the lease is close to the end and you want another vehicle from the same dealer they can put you together without having to pay any early termination fees. good luck

I had a lease on a car that I had for a year and a half, the lease was for 5 years and the payments ended up killing me. I took it in on a whim to the dealership I got the lease from and started complaining they screwed me on the lease while I was browsing their older used cars. I went in to talk to a salesman and they agreed to pay off my lease if I bought one of their used cars. I got slightly screwed on the price, it was a Honda civic 97 for 6500., but at least the car was in good condition with low mileage and I will own it after it's paid off.

Oh and I forgot to add that my credit wasn't affected in any way because the dealership was actually paying off the leasing agency.

If you turn in your lease early will it effect your credit?

As long as you pay any early termination fees tied to your lease, and pay off your remaining payments, it will not affect your credit. However, like with any contract that involves money, if you 'run away' from the lease, it can be turned over to collection agencies, which could then harm your credit. Hope that helps!


What happens to a lease if the tenant goes to hospice care?

I'm no lawyer but...here is my understanding of the situation. While the tenant is alive, they (or the person legally acting for them) are responsible for the financial obligations and the lease is in force. If the tenant is not returning, you should consider terminating the lease and moving out. If it is a month-to-month lease, this part is easy. If it is a fixed-term lease, investigate whether the landlord will agree to terminating the lease early.

What happens if you trade in early A lease?

Getting Out of Your Car LeaseTrading in a car lease prior to the lease termination date is often a costly and credit damaging act. For many lease companies, they treat this as a "voluntary repossession" harming your credit and will charge an early termination fee, often being a few thousand dollars.A better route to take to get out of your lease is called a "lease assumption". In a lease assumption, a lease seller (the original lessee) transfers the vehicle and lease responsibility to a lease buyer (the new lessee). Once the lease assumption is complete, the buyer will make the remaining lease payments until the lease end date.With a lease assumption, the lease seller (original lessee) gets out of their lease without further financial responsibility saving them money. In addition, the lease company looks at this as a fulfillment of their credit obligation earning a positive mark on their credit history.For the lease buyer, they are often getting into a lease with no money down. In addition, monthly payments are often subsidized by a seller cash incentive offered by the seller, thus lowering the effective monthly payment for the lease buyer.Their are a few online marketplaces that specialize in matching lease sellers with lease buyers. The market leader, LeaseTrade.com, offers an easy to use marketplace with the highest success rates in the industry. If you are looking to get out of your lease early, they may be worth a look.
