Part 4Enforcement and remedies
Orders, injunctions, and prohibited enforcement: Prohibited enforcement
101Enforcement of consumer lease prohibited
If disclosure is required under section 64 or section 65, no person (other than a lessee under the consumer lease) may, before that disclosure is made,—
- enforce the lease; or
- enforce any right to recover property to which the lease relates; or
- enforce any right in relation to the costs of the lease; or
- require the lessee or any other person to make a payment of an amount before that amount is payable under the lease on the basis of a failure by the lessee or other person to pay the costs of the lease; or
- enforce any security interest taken in connection with the lease.
Neither the lessee nor any other person is liable for the costs of the lease in relation to any period during which the lessor has failed to comply with section 64 or 65.
The period referred to in subsection (2)—
- starts on the date of the failure; and
- ends only at the close of the day on which the disclosure under section 64 or 65 is made.
However, subsection (2) does not apply in relation to fees or charges payable by a lessee for an amount payable, or to reimburse an amount paid, by the lessor to another person, body, or agency unless the person, body, or agency is an associated person of the lessor.
