I'm sure there is stuff built into it, but this seems like a huge liability to do. The only thing I can think of is you sign a waiver saying you can't sue the homeowner.

Sounds like a good way to get sued and lose everything.

I hope Swimply or whatever its called provides some good insurance for the people who list their backyards for rent. Your homeowner insurance isn't going to cover anything that happens in a situation like that. Whether its damage to your property caused by the renters or the liability if someone gets hurt.

The type of people who would rent someone else's backyard are the ones who would have way more people over than they were supposed to have and be using patio furniture as diving platforms to do flips into a crowded pool. The odds of property damage and/or injuries are high

Those kinds of liability waivers often aren't worth the paper they're printed on

Better have a PUP (an umbrella policy) in place!
