A salvage vehicle dealer must meet and maintain the following
requirements at each licensed business location during the term of
the license.
(1) If the licensed business location is not owned
by the license holder, the license holder must maintain a lease that
is continuous during the period of time for which the license will

the premises and the name of the dealer as the tenant or lessee of
the premises;
(B) the period of time for which the lease is valid;

is provided, the license holder must attach a statement verifying
that the property description in the lease agreement is the physical
street address identified on the application;
(D) the signature of the property owner as the lessor
and the signature of the dealer as the tenant or lessee; and
(E) if the lease agreement is a sublease in which the
property owner is not the lessor, the dealer must also obtain a signed
and notarized statement from the property owner including the following
information:
(i) property owner's full name, email address, mailing
address, and phone number; and
(ii) property owner's statement confirming that the
