Pool safety fence for rental property in Northern California

[Jeff Cliff]

Hello,

I am looking to rent out a property with swimming pool in Northern California. Currently the property does not have any pool safety fence. I was planning to get a removable 4ft safety fence with self latching door.

However, the tenants who qualified for the rental do not want the fence as they do not have any young kids.

I am wondering if there is anything I could add in the lease agreement to have them sign a waiver if they don’t want me to install pool safety fence? If yes, what should be the exact wording for it?

Or is it better to just have a fence installed regardless, pay over $2500 for it and make them sign the agreement saying they are not to remove this fence under any circumstances.

Thank you.
