(a)Authority. The regulation in this part, known as Regulation M, is issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection to implement the consumer leasing provisions of the Truth in Lending Act, which is title I of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.).

(2)To limit the amount of balloon payments in consumer lease transactions; and
(3)To provide for the accurate disclosure of lease terms in advertising.
