SB 6007: Theft of rental property

Modifying theft of rental, leased, lease-purchased, or loaned property provisions.

Summary

  • Provides that a person who, having control of personal property under a written rental agreement, intentionally holds the property beyond the expiration of the rental period without the effective consent of the owner, depriving the owner of its use in further rentals, is guilty of theft of rental, leased, lease-purchased, or loaned property, a gross misdemeanor.
  • Specifies that it is not a defense that the person returned the property after the expiration of the rental agreement if the person fails to pay the applicable rental charge for the time that the person held the property.
