Miss. Code Ann. § 75-73-7: Loss of property; maximum allowed; guest’s responsibility.

The liability of the innkeeper of any inn, whether individual, partnership or corporation, for the loss of or injury to personal property placed by his guests under his care other than that described in Section 75-73-5 shall be that of a depository for hire. Provided, however, that in no case shall such liability exceed the sum of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each trunk and contents; twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each valise and contents, and five dollars ($5.00) for each box, bundle or package and contents so placed under his care, unless he shall have consented in writing with such guest to assume a greater liability; except that nothing herein shall prevent any guest of any hotel or inn from recovering at common law the actual value of the contents of any trunk, valise, box or package which, after being given into the care or custody of the hotel or innkeeper or placed in the rooms of a hotel or inn, shall be lost by or through theft, or the negligence, carelessness or omission of any hotel or innkeeper or his servant or employee, and not by or through the carelessness, negligence or omission of such guest.
