What information must a company include when advertising leases for cars, household goods, or other products?
The Consumer Leasing Act and Regulation M include specific rules that apply to ads for consumer leases. For example, if a lease advertisement includes certain terms — such as the amount of any payment due before or at lease inception — the ad also must make other clear and conspicuous mandatory disclosures about the terms of the lease. These rules also apply if the ad contains phrases like “no money down” or “no down payment.” For more information, see Advertising Consumer Leases.
