OBLIGATIONS OF THE BAILOR

1.   The  primary  obligation  of  the  bailor  is  to  allow  the  bailee the use  of the thing loaned
for the duration of the  period stipulated  or  until  the  accomplishment  of  the  purpose  for
which the commodatum was constituted

a.    However,  the  lender  may  demand  its  return  or temporary  use  if  he  has  the  urgent 
need  of  the thing   or   if   the   borrower   commits   an   act   of ingratitude

2.   PRECARIUM:  a kind of commodatum where the bailor may demand the thing at will.  In
this kind of commodatum, the lender  may  demand  at  will  the  return  of  thing  under  the
following circumstances:
a.    If neither the duration of the contract nor the use to  which  the  thing  loaned  should  be 
devoted,  has been stipulated; or
b.   If  the  use  of  the  thing  is  merely  tolerated  by  the owner.
c.   the law recognizes the urgency as well as it is gratuitous.
d.   Take note that in precarium, there is no stipulated period or the use is merely tolerated
