Law/Patents - Telecom(munications) / leasing contract
Italian term or phrase: appropriazione indebita
I know this term has come up before but I was wondering how best to render it in this context. Thanks!

"Al verificarsi della cessazione della locazione operativa, il LOCATORIO è tenuto alla restituzione immediata, al LOCATORE, o a cui da costui indicato, dei beni nel medesimo stato risultante al momento della loro consegna, salvo il normale deterioramento d’uso, escludendosi qualsivoglia indennità per eventuali addizioni o miglioramento apportati nel caso d’inosservanza di questa clausola, il LOCATORIO ***si rende responsabile di appropriazione indebita nei confronti del LOCATORE***, al quale compete pertanto la facoltà di esercizio di ogni correlato diritto. Le eventuali spese di disinstallazione e trasporto dei beni sono a carico del LOCATORIO."

misappropriation
Explanation:
My suggestion (more a hunch really)..
I think misappropriation is more general and therefore more suitable to your context. something like "the Lessee shall be held responsible towards the Lessor for the misappropriation of (or failure to return) the latter's property" as your text seems to refer to the failure to return property on lease.
To me, misappropriation can be used more generally whereas embezzlement is more specific- wikipedia defines it as "the fraudulent conversion of property from a property owner...the embezzler must have had the right to possess the item, and used that position of trust to convert the property". As there is no actual conversion of property here I'd say misappropriation might be better
