Syllabus

<p>Bailment — Personal property — Duty of lessee to repair — Written contract.</p> <p>Where personal property is leased for a term of years, and by the terms of the bailment, the lessee is required to keep it in good order and repair, he will not be relieved from liability for the rental upon the ground that it has become worn out and antiquated, such a condition being the result of his own failure to keep it in repair.</p> <p>In such a case, while the bailor impliedly warrants that the thing hired is of a character and in a condition to be used as contemplated by the contract of bailment, yet, where the parties by an express contract reduced to writing regulate the conditions under which the hiring takes place, this writing will become the rule by which their rights against each other are determined.</p>
