what if a borrower does not return my item?
This is a legitimate concern. There is a small amount of risk in lending items to the general public, however this risk can be virtually eliminated by following these simple guidelines:
First, with a contract in place, both parties’ interests are legally protected. It is important to complete the contract, retain a copy, and make sure that you verify a person’s identity by checking identification or driver’s license.
Second, set the refundable deposit amount at a reasonable level.A refundable deposit gives an economic incentive for the borrower to return the item. We suggest that the amount be set between 50% to 70% of the replacement cost of the item.
what if an item is returned damaged?
It is not reasonable to expect a borrower to pay for normal wear and tear on an item. However, if the item is significantly damaged the owner should retain a portion of the security deposit, as allowed under the contract.
