Removal of rented furniture - Procedure
Official statutory text
A. Upon termination of a furniture rental agreement, the lessor
or agent of the lessor shall not remove the furniture from the
possession or dwelling place of the lessee unless the lessee or an
agent of the lessee is present. Such furniture shall be marked with
either an identifying number or in some other distinguishable manner
prior to removal. Before the furniture is removed, the lessor or
his agent shall inspect the furniture and advise the lessee or the
agent of the lessee of each specific item of damage. If furniture
is removed when such person is not present or if the furniture is
not inspected before removal, the entire amount of any security
deposit held by the lessor shall be returned to the lessee.
B. If the lessor complies with the provisions of subsection A
of this section and recovers damaged furniture, any security deposit
held by the lessor may be applied to the amount of damages which the
lessor has suffered due to the fault of the lessee if the lessor
provides to the lessee a written itemized statement of damage
delivered by mail, to be by return receipt requested and to be
signed for by any person of statutory service age at such address.
The lessor shall allow the lessee an opportunity to reinspect the
furniture in question before any security deposit may be retained or
any additional damage charge made.
