Deposit for KeepingStorage
Section § 1851
This law explains that when someone is paid to keep or store someone else's property, it's known as storage, and the person or company doing the storing is called a depositary for hire.
Section § 1852
Section § 1853
If there's no other agreement in place or special practice followed, when you pay someone to take care of your property, like storing things or looking after animals, they are entitled to charge you a week's worth for animals and half a month's worth for other items even if they only keep them for part of that time.
Section § 1854
If there's no set time for a deposit to last, the person who made the deposit can end it whenever they want. The person holding the deposit can end it too, but they need to give a fair notice in advance.
Section § 1855
This law allows a person who has made a deposit to end the deposit agreement early, as long as they pay any amounts that the other party, who holds the deposit, would have earned if the agreement had continued as planned.
Section § 1856
This law states that when you store property with someone who charges for the service, they have a right to hold onto the property until they're paid. They can charge for storage fees, any extra costs like insurance or care of the property if you asked for it, and expenses incurred to deal with prior liens or sales. These rights are governed by rules about liens.
Section § 1857
This law allows someone who is storing perishable items, baggage, or luggage to sell those items in an open market if they can't return them due to circumstances beyond their control. But this can only happen if the person being stored for hasn't paid storage fees for a year on non-perishable items. The law removes any previous laws that conflict with it and becomes active immediately after it passes.
