California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 3 — Deposit, Chapter 2 — Deposit for Keeping, Article 3 — Storage, Section 1851

A deposit not gratuitous is called storage. The depositary in such case is called a depositary for hire.

Notes

Defines a nongratuitous deposit as “storage” and the depositary in that arrangement as a “depositary for hire.” Establishes those terms for a deposit in which custody is not gratuitous, identifying both the transaction and the person who holds the deposited property for compensation.
