NO, they don’t all charge for everything.
We just returned my Late MIL’s Lincoln as her lease ends this month. All scratches less than 3″ long are not charged for. Normal wear and tear is allowed. After 3 years, no one is expected to return a car in showroom new condition, but stains, holes, rips, tears, gouges, scrapes are not normal wear and tear.
Mrs. CTL drives a leased car (her choice, I own). In all the years we have never paid a cent for condition issues when turning the car in, only for being over mileage, once.
All leases are not created equal, as an attorney I caution you to read and understand the lease terms before signing, its not all about the monthly and down payments
