Hurry up and fill it in, contact your insurance to see if this is possible or you will be canceled, swimming pools are an attractive nuisance that fencing helps but never stops someone from getting hurt even with pool guards someone slips at our city pool. --76.241.xxx.xxx |

My bet is that even with a release your exposure would be huge if someone were hurt or killed in or around the pool. --174.47.xxx.x |

Indeed -- in most cases, the issue is with your insurance company -- regardless of what release you have in place with the tenants. Contact your insurance company and see what they say. If they will allow it with a proper release (which is rare, but I've heard of it happening), then ask THEM for their version of the "proper release" so that you never have an issue should someone drown themselves in your pool...

Check with your attorney on this too. I've been advised before that "you cannot sign away your rights." So for example, even if your tenant signs a release, if something goes wrong and someone is injured or dies you can still be sued regardless and possibly lose.
Competent legal advice is better than a standard form. --208.70.xxx.x |

What Sid means I think is that you cannot sign away (waiver) liability.

Exactly. I know in some circumstances it applies: such as when you go sky diving or rock climbing you have to sign a "I agree not to sue ABC Sky diving in the event my parachut doesn't open...blah blab, etc" otherwise no one would go into that business.
That said, lawyers have a field day poking holes in those kinds of agreements, so they have to be carefully crafted to truly limit liability. And the key word there is "limit." It is doubtful you could ever get a release that would be bullet proof in all situations. You always are expected to perform to some degree of reasonable care. The trick is that the definition of reasonable changes over time and varies from location to location.
That's why a local, experienced attorney would be better than some generic form. --208.70.xxx.x |

The best release is the lever that flips the backhoe bucket over to dump the dirt. The only way I wouldn't fill it in is if I were considering selling the house soon. Or if it were way away from the house and I could fence and lock it and keep it for my own use only.
Even then, I've had agents tell me that they only add a couple thousand dollars to the price of a home for an inground pool. --66.228.xxx.xxx |
