The term, take over a car lease, refers to the idea of finding an inexpensive way to get out of a lease or to assume a lease from someone who needs to get out. A car lease can often be transferred from the original lessee to another party, thereby avoiding the high cost of early lease termination. This provides a solution for people who want a short-term and relatively inexpensive way of driving a good car — by taking over a lease from someone who wants out of their lease early. There are benefits to both the "seller" and the "buyer." The seller quickly gets out of a lease that they may no longer be able to afford and the buyer usually gets a good deal on a relatively short-term lease. By taking over the lease, a buyer helps the seller with his problem, and helps himself at the same time. To take over a car
lease is accomplished through a process called a lease
assumption or lease swap, made popular by Swapalease Be aware that all lease takeovers must be arranged and approved by the lease company who owns the vehicle. You can't simply allow someone to take over your lease without the company being involved. It violates your lease contract. Some lease companies do not allow transfers. Some prohibit transfers in the first few months or last few months of the lease term. Others allow transfers but keep the original lessee responsible if the new lessee defaults. Contact the company if you have questions about a possible car lease takeover.
