Pools at Rental Properties - Good or Bad? Keep or Fill in?

We are in the process of buying #2. (Waiting on financing, hope to know soon.) Anyways the house details are below.

This is a SHF, that we plan to convert to a duplex. (2-2bedroom units) The lower unit will have 2 big bedrooms (12x14 and 10x14) large kitchen, large bathroom, large living room etc. - currently the back yard is a nice size and has a in ground pool with a new liner. Our first though was, liability and we should fill it in. We got some quotes to fill it in and lets just say I will be looking for free fill and i will rent a skid steer.. 

Wanted to know if anyone has rentals with pools and what you did with them.. keep them or fill them in? can we charge more for rent :).. Looking for some input with regards to this from people who have experience. 

Thanks

Nick
