§ 44-12-64 — Duty to return property; assumption of risks; time of return

If the return of the thing is specified, the risk of death or inevitable accident is with the bailor and he can retake possession immediately at the expiration of the time of hiring. If the return of like property of the same kind and quality is specified, the risk is with the bailee and he must redeliver the thing hired before the bailor's interest is revested.
