We are using our primary residence as an STR in Los Angeles. We have an in-ground pool. Of course guests want to use it but I'm trying to cover the bases on what is required to avoid accidents/incidents/litigation. Currently I'm planning the following:
- Release of liability and description of the pool in the House Rules
- Have them sign waiver prior to using/renting
- Chirpers installed on the doors. Pool is accessible directly from the house
- Installing child-proof locks on the sliders leading out to the pool
- There is no fence specifically around the pool. It's accessible directly from the house. We have a net cover that can be installed but it is very difficult to take on and off and we can't have the guests do it.
- We have signs plastered around - no diving, no running, no lifeguard, etc
We have a rider on our homeowner's for STR but not sure if there is something else.
Short of not letting guests use it, not sure what else I should do.
