Can the company I lease my car from repossess it?

Yes.

If you lease your car and you do not make your payments or you do not follow the agreement you signed, the company can take your car.

A leasing company does not have to give you the “Rights of Defaulting Buyer” notice or follow any of the other repossession requirements.
