Legal Question: trampoline in backyard of rental property

Good Afternoon - seeking advice about the following:

I drove-by my rental property and saw there's now a trampoline in the backyard.  I read through our lease again and tenants are required to get permission/authorization to install items like this which tenants didn't; and there is a sentence in our lease that we are not liable for any issues with these additions.  

Anything else I should do to protect ourselves?  They've been good tenants so far.

Thank you, in advance, for your help.

Catherine

    Call your homeowners insurance and see what they say. They might give you an easy reason to have the tenants remove it. "Sorry, my homeowners insurance does not allow it".
