Rental Agreement Legal Rights

Summary

If a rented vehicle is defective, the lessee has the right to terminate the contract and request a refund of the rental fee. According to Article 478 of the Iranian Civil Code, the lessor must deliver the rented item in a usable condition. Article 479 further states that if the rented item is defective, the lessee can either terminate the contract or accept it in its current state. Therefore, the lessee can terminate the contract and request a refund if the vehicle is not in working condition. Other options, such as the lessor choosing to deliver another vehicle or terminate the contract, are not supported by these legal provisions.
