§ 336.2A-104 — Leases Subject to Other Statutes

Plain-Language Summary

A lease covered by Article 2A is also subject to other applicable laws: federal statutes, Minnesota or other-state certificate-of-title statutes (including sections 86B.820 to 86B.920 and chapter 168A), and Minnesota consumer protection statutes. If those statutes conflict with Article 2A, the other statute controls, except for a few specified Article 2A provisions (sections 336.2A-105, 336.2A-304(3), and 336.2A-305(3)). Failure to comply with one of those other statutes has only the effect that the statute itself specifies.

Practical Notes
If a lease falls under another law such as a vehicle title statute, a federal statute, or a consumer protection statute, that other law generally wins where it conflicts with the leasing rules, with a few narrow exceptions.
