California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 4 — Loan, Chapter 1 — Loan for Use, Section 1893
The lender of a thing for use must indemnify the borrower for damage caused by defects or vices in it, which he knew at the time of lending, and concealed from the borrower.
Notes
Requires a lender of an item for use to indemnify the borrower for damage caused by defects or vices that the lender knew about when lending the item and concealed from the borrower. The indemnity duty therefore depends on the lender’s contemporaneous knowledge and concealment of the defect or vice that caused the damage.
