What to include for landlord to cover when renting out?

Postby eadweald71 » Sat Jul 14, 2012 11:36 am

I just bought an investment property SFR (in CA). Previous owner left an expensive covered jacuzzi. I do not think it will help me increase the rent. So I do not want to maintain it. However I do not mind letting the future tenant use it. The question is: what happens when it breaks?

Options:

1. Do I have to (by law?) include its maintenance into the rental contract?
2. Or I can just not mention its existence in the rental contract?
3. Or I should tell the tenant not to use it?
4. Or I should tell the tenant to use it but be responsible for its maintenance and repair?

Any other option or even requirement for the landlord? Or any combination of the above options?

I know that the liability insurance may go up with the jacuzzi. So I am not sure what to do from the legal side too: what do I tell the insurance company?

Your expert advice is appreciated.

I would assume you cover repairs and maintenance.
If you don't want to do that then have it removed
