This law explains that deposits can either be given willingly or forced to be accepted. They can also be for the purpose of storing something safely or for exchanging one thing for another.

This law explains a voluntary deposit, where someone (called the depositor) gives their personal property to another person (the depositary) to hold onto, with the depositary's agreement, either for the depositor's benefit or for someone else's.

This law explains situations where an 'involuntary deposit' occurs. It happens when someone accidentally leaves their belongings with another person, or when property is entrusted to someone else due to emergencies like fires or riots. It also covers finding and caring for stray animals, or when animals are abandoned at a property that's been vacated due to a lease ending or foreclosure.

This law lays out what must happen when a thing or a live animal is left with someone according to specific rules. If someone or a private entity finds themselves with a live animal, they need to call animal control right away so the animal can be picked up. The animal control officers have the right to charge for their costs in saving the animal. There won't be any extra responsibilities or penalties for someone who follows these rules. Public agencies or shelters must also take care of any animals left with them following the same procedures. The person or entity who calls animal control or takes over the property won't be considered the owner or keeper of the animal.

This section states that when you deposit something with someone for safekeeping, that person must give you back the exact same item you gave them.

In a deposit for exchange, the person holding the deposited item is only required to give back an item that is similar to what was originally deposited, rather than the exact same item.
