Hello BP family i need your input and help on this one. My tenant bought an inflatable summer swimming pool mind you the water bill is covered by me. What do i do?

1. Ask for insurance for the pool

2. Charge an extra $50 to cover the water bill

3. Do both

Landlords please help with comments/suggestions

Thank you in advance

Are they good tenants?

Are they paying their rent on time?

Do they take care of the property?

Is the rent at market rate?

Do they have young kids?

Is this like a 2' deep blowup kiddie pool?

Do they have renters insurance?

Will your insurance company cancel your police for a kiddie pool?

Do you have an umbrella policy?

Hopefully it will not ruin the grass.

For me it's not cut and dry. Kids have been locked up for months, it's hot outside, what's the real risk?  There's theory and then there's realty. 

How many LLs have ever been successfully sued as a direct result of their tenant having a blowup kiddie pool?
