Can you lease a car in an open chapter 13 bankruptcy plan?

Generally, you cannot lease a car in an open Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan. Under Chapter 13, you would have to make regular payments to your creditors through the bankruptcy court. Any new debts you incur during the plan, such as a car lease, would be subject to the court's approval. However, the court will not approve a lease that would overburden you financially or hinder your ability to repay creditors.
