• No raised rates. Some leasing companies will try and find ways to raise your rates in the middle of the month. This is a scam.

• Automatic Rollover. This will allow your leasing company to continue your lease even passed the date that you signed for. This can cause you to pay for additional months that you had not planned on. Try your best to avoid having this in your copier lease. It just adds one more thing for your to think about in order to avoid getting fined.

• Bad Print Contracts. Many copier leasing sales people will try and get you to buy more prints than you actually need. They will almost always suggest that you get more than you originally estimate. This is done because unused prints do not rollover, so anything that you buy but do not use is just money in their pockets. Try and be conservative in this estimate to save money.
