Full question:
I am on a lease that states a flat tire on my vehicle must be fixed within 24 hours. I went out of town on 12-5-06, and I returned on 12-8 06, and my truck had been towed and impounded for a flat tire. Did I violate the lease?

Answer:
What does your lease say? What laws does your state have about abandoned vehicles? How long was the car inoperable? These questions are key to the answer to your inquiry.
A contract which a Court believes gives too much of an advantage over a consumer can be held to be void as unconscionable. If the terms of an agreement in such a circumstance were deemed to be grossly unfair, the contract could be held to be void as unconscionable and therefore contrary to public policy. Unconscionability means that the actions of a party to a contract are so outrageous and oppressive as to shock the conscience of the Court and invalidate a clause or provision of the contract or the whole contract itself.
