§ 28:2A-206. Offer and acceptance in formation of lease contract.

Current through October 23, 2012

(a) Unless otherwise unambiguously indicated by the language or circumstances, an offer to make a lease contract must be construed as inviting acceptance in any manner and by any medium reasonable in the circumstances.

(b) If the beginning of a requested performance is a reasonable mode of acceptance, an offeror who is not notified of acceptance within a reasonable time may treat the offer as having lapsed before acceptance.

                    art.dialog.data('cite', val);
                    art.dialog.data('homeDemoPath', '/Scripts/plus/artDialog/');
