Hot Tub Exhibit to Lease

Tenants think it’s a toy but owners know they require some maintenance. Tenants will let water levels get too low, burn out motors, let the water turn green, turn them into fish ponds, and use them as a place to store trash.

The last thing you want is to suggest to a tenant the hot tub will stay hot or keep working. Disclose your lack of knowledge with hot tub maintenance and your general unfamiliarity with how they work. Put the entire burden on them and warn them about the dangers of it getting too hot and someone getting burned. You may even require they get renter’s insurance with you (and the owner) as additional insured. See our document on the owner sign up documents for the other side of the hot tub issue.
