Re: Permanent hire gear stolen who does what?Local laws apply, of course.As a supplier of rental equipment as far as I'm concerned until the items are returned to me (or purchased in some way) the original renter is still renting the items. Replacement gear adds more rental fees. The verbal contract may be difficult to enforce, but once again your local laws will determine that. Of course, I'll do what I can for a good customer, but there is no real obligation behind it.
