The four types of custodians are an unpaid custodian a paid custodian, a renter, and a borrower
- Unpaid custodian must safeguard the object but not use it, and is liable for any loss caused by his negligence;
- Paid
custodian also may not use the object, but because he is being paid, he
is liable even for theft or loss not due to his negligence;
- Renter pays for the right to use another's property, and his liability is identical to that of the paid custodian;
- Borrower
bears the highest degree of responsibility – he is liable even for
mishaps beyond his control, with the exception of work-related damages.
