Monthly Payments

This agreement will clearly outline what the monthly payments for the duration of the lease shall be. This section must state what day of the month payments are to be made as well as if there is a grace period for late payments and what penalties will be for a late payment.

A commercial vehicle agreement will determine who is responsible for regular vehicle maintenance, such as oil changes. This section of the agreement should clearly state how often regular maintenance should be performed and if the leasing company will provide a rebate for such care.
