Sec. 42a-2A-713. Proof of market rent.

      Sec. 42a-2A-713. Proof of market rent. (a) Damages based on market rent are determined according to the rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical to the remaining period of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the times specified in sections 42a-2A-721 and 42a-2A-735.

      (b) If evidence of rent for the use of the goods concerned for a period identical to the remaining period of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the times or places described in this article is not readily available, the following rules apply:

      (1) The rent prevailing within any reasonable time before or after the time described may be used.

      (2) The rent prevailing at any other place or for a different lease period which in commercial judgment or usage of trade is a reasonable substitute may be used, making proper allowance for the difference, including the cost of transporting the goods to or from the other place.

      (3) Evidence of a relevant rent prevailing at another time or place or for a lease period other than the period described in this section offered by one party is not admissible unless the party has given the other party notice that the court finds sufficient to prevent unfair surprise.

      (c) If the prevailing rent or value of goods regularly leased in any established market is in dispute, reports in official publications or trade journals or in newspapers, periodicals or other means of communication in general circulation and published as the reports of such market, are admissible in evidence. The circumstances of the preparation of such a report may affect the weight of the evidence but not its admissibility.
