Frequently Asked Questions

What are my responsibilities during the lease?

You’re responsible for lease payments and operating costs, including maintenance, insurance, property taxes, registration, and licensing.

Are there any additional costs before or after the lease ends?

Generally, you’ll only pay for agreed-upon operating costs. For transportation equipment, a remarketing fee may apply at lease-end (based on a TRAC clause). Otherwise, no end-of-lease fees are charged as long as the equipment is returned in good condition.

What are my options when the lease ends?

You can purchase the equipment, renew the lease, or return it. All Lake Ridge Bank leases include a purchase option based on the equipment type.

What’s the process for returning equipment?

Notify us at least 90 days in advance (or as outlined in your lease). Inspect and repair the equipment as needed, and return it to the designated location in good condition, excluding normal wear and tear.

Can I change or end my lease early?

Lake Ridge Bank leases are non-cancellable, but we handle early terminations or changes on a case-by-case basis and aim to accommodate your evolving business needs.
