Conversely, the bailee must perform their duties diligently, ensuring the property is maintained and returned safely, while also notifying the bailor of any issues.

The duty of the bailee is to return the goods without demand on the accomplishment of the purpose or the expiration of the time period. In case of his failure to do so, he shall be liable for the loss, destruction, deterioration, damages or destruction of goods even without negligence.
The bailee is liable for all injuries to the property from failure to properly care for or use it. Once the purpose of the bailment has been completed, the bailee usually must return the property to the bailor, or account for it, depending upon the terms of the contract.
