If they don't tell you about extra costs for wear and tear when you take it back in are you responsible for it? Can they bill you after the fact?

It also depends on what you are leasing. For example, GM's inspection process is as follows:
TURN IN YOUR VEHICLE
GM Financial requires all leased vehicles be returned to a GM dealership. So when it’s time to return your vehicle, return it to the GM dealership where it was leased.
By scheduling an inspection at your originating GM dealership, your dealer can suggest helpful repairs to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses. Your dealer can also help you determine what repairs may be covered under the vehicle’s manufacturer warranty.
There, you will be provided a Vehicle Return Receipt for your records. This receipt provides written documentation that the vehicle was returned and confirms that the dealership turned in the vehicle so that your account can be closed. You may receive a final invoice within 60 days of returning your lease vehicle.
Toyota: After two business days, your vehicle's condition report (an itemized assessment of any estimated normal and excessive wear and use found on your vehicle) will be available online. You can view it by logging into your account at AutoVIN.
If you choose to make repairs based on your condition report, contact TFS at 1-800-286-0652 to request that an additional inspection take place once you complete the repairs.
Your contract should spell everything out and if you have questions call your dealer, well ahead of turn-in time.

Yeah, I would read my contract that I had signed, if I were you. They may not have verbally told you, but you signed for it or they wouldn't have given you the lease.

Your contract is the important part here. You need to know what it says.
Just an FYI - I've been leasing for about 30 years, and I have never, not once, been charged for excess wear and tear (or excess mileage).
