How to End a Copier Lease

Ending a copier lease may not be as straightforward as you may think. Too many people don’t read into their lease closely enough and end up facing problems down the road. This could come in the form of logistical problems or financial burdens. However, it doesn’t have to be trouble if you know how to end a copier lease correctly

There are three distinct things to pay attention to when you are getting ready to end your copier lease.

  1. Do you have to actually cancel your copier lease?
  2. Who is in charge of shipping your office machine when you reach the end?
  3. What specific details do you need to be aware of when packing your copier?

The most important thing to figure out is whether or not you have automatic rollover. This is the ability for your leasing company to continue your lease unless you specifically request to end it at the end of your lease. This is a sneaky way to get you stuck with additional months that you didn’t plan on.

You also really need to make sure that you have all of your shipping details figured out. Don’t assume anything when it comes to your copier lease. Your leasing company will probably not be in charge of shipping your copier, so that’s something you want to figure out before it’s too late.

Finally, know what your packing responsibilities are in terms of packaging separate items on their own. You will likely be asked to put toner or paper trays in separate bags to avoid problems later. Not doing so can lead to charges later on.

Ending a copier lease isn’t hard as long as you know what to look for. Give you lease a read and make sure you understand everything that is expected of you before it’s too late.
