What is Article 2A primarily about?

• A. The Law of True Leases
• B. Warranties and implied terms
• C. Security interests in real property
• D. Governing assignment of leases

Answer: (A)

Article 2A covers leases of goods under the UCC. It focuses on what a true lease looks like—the lessor retains ownership and the lessee gets the right to use the goods in exchange for rent—and it sets out the rights, duties, and remedies of both parties in lease transactions. A central idea is distinguishing a true lease from a financing arrangement that is really securing a loan; those financing agreements belong under the secured transactions framework (Article 9) rather than Article 2A. Because of that, Article 2A isn’t about warranties and implied terms, nor about security interests in real property, nor about the assignment of leases. It’s specifically about the lease of goods and how those leases are structured and enforced.
