I’ve been in this industry for over 15 years and I’m getting a first…inflatable jacuzzi on a resident’s patio. It takes up the whole patio and looks tacky. Our community rules allow only attractive outdoor furniture and thriving plants, but I’m having trouble finding verbiage in the lease that prohibits them. We use the standard NAA lease and are in Kentucky. Anyone dealt with this?

Could count it as a "water bed" or "fish tank" due to it having that much water and put it on that. ESPECIALLY if it's on a higher floor!

On a bottom floor, but could definitely still cause some damage if it busts.

I was gonna say the same thing, does this not fall under the same category as water beds and fish tanks?
If it was one of those like single person ice dunk things I’d maybe be like ehhh, maybe. But def not a jacuzzi.
But yeah regardless of tacky or not, it is a hazard for potential flooding. Then poses the question, how are they able to regularly maintain it? The weight? How is it impacting the structural integrity of the patio/balcony?
It’s just a real quick no.

Allie Gartside Thank you!

Brooke Mangrum Vinson Sorry, one last thought I had. In terms of renters insurance, if it pops or something and does flood. I seriously doubt insurance covers flooding from stupidity. While they may cover a burst pipe and that sort of flooding, I don’t think a jacuzzi flooding would be covered.
If you have residents all use the same renters insurance I’d also call and ask.
Even with the storms the US is having, some peoples homes are not covered because they don’t specifically have flood insurance and it’s an act of god, so they are sol.
So again, act of god and stupidity, I don’t believe are covered under insurance lol

Allie Gartside Very true! Thank you.

Check your local codes - may be a weight issue also

Section 19. Limitations on Conduct
We may regulate: (1) the use of patios, balconies, and porches; (2) the conduct of furniture movers and delivery persons; and (3) recreational activities in common areas.

Inflatable hot tubs are not furniture
Whose water are they using to fill it.
Where does the water drain when emptied.
Is it a fenced/enclosed area.
Just no.

“Attractive” is subjective is it a cold plunge if so they may site health reasons

It is neither a plant, or furniture. Therefore prohibited on the balcony.

It may be an insurance violation. check with your broker

It may be an insurance violation. check with your broker

If it’s not fenced in, it’s typically against city rules, as children can jump in and drown. Maybe check your local landlord tenant act, search “pool” and maybe it’ll come up

Yeah, i think the NAA lease leaves a lot of "open to interpretation" loopholes. Of course it can't specify everything. Regardless, they would find a reason it doesn't apply to them anyway …

Prohibited conduct…disturbing or threatening the rights, comfort, health, SAFETY, or convenience of others (including our agents and employees)in or near apt community… patio cant be safe for anyone if thats there. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes- What they said about the liability of the water etc.
How about, " It doesn't meet our communities esthetic standards for items on the patio.", and its not patio furniture in the first place, its basically a big bathtub. Just say no! LOL.
