Answer:

In New Jersey, you cannot transfer, assign, or sublease a vehicle under a lease, conditional sale contract, or security agreement for compensation unless you follow the terms of that contract. However, this rule does not apply to individuals who are parties to the original contract (N.J. Stat. § 2A:42-14).

FAQs

Leases typically do not allow subletting unless explicitly stated in the lease agreement. Most vehicle lease contracts prohibit transferring, assigning, or subleasing the vehicle without the lessor's consent. Always check your specific lease terms to understand your options.
