| Another [https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/laws/stat/rsbc-1996-c-410/latest/rsbc-1996-c-410.html#sec16_smooth BC law] requires a person leasing goods to tell you if there is any '''lien''' or charge on the goods in favour of a third party. A lien is a legal claim made on property — such as a vehicle — to make sure someone pays a debt. Liens are attached to a vehicle, not to its owner. If you lease a vehicle with a lien on it, the lien holder can take the vehicle from you as payment for the debt.
