13         Senate Amendment 

14         On page 4, lines 8-13, delete those lines

15

16  and insert:  certified mailing of the demand for return is

17  prima facie evidence of fraudulent intent. Notice mailed by

18  certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address given

19  by the renter at the time of rental shall be deemed sufficient

20  and equivalent to notice having been received by the renter,

21  should the notice be returned undelivered. Fraudulent intent

22  may be inferred from proof of the failure to make payment or

23  redeliver upon demand made either in person or by certified

24  mail.  This inference may be made only when there is no

25  dispute as to the amount owed.
