Hopefully your lease provides for prohibiting trampolines and such, that may cause the landlord to loose insurance coverage. Many Insurance companies do not cover trampolines.

If you do not, you may try issuing a notice anyway to remove the trampoline and see if your tenant complies. If the tenant refuses and you have no lease clause to fall back on, then you are out of luck until renewal time.

Requiring the tenant to provide insurance coverage and prohibiting children from playing on the trampoline until coverage is provided may result in a Fair Housing discrimination charge. A landlord can not have requirements that single out children. Requiring insurance at this point might also lead to a charge of discrimination due to familiar status, so be careful what and how you say it or proceed.

Here is a “Sample Lease Clause which may be helpful: “No trampolines, athletic equipment, recreational equipment, or any items or activities which can cause interference with or affect the insurance coverage on the premises will be permitted. Tenant agrees to cease any activity and/or remove any items which causes interference with or affects the insurance coverage on the premises immediately upon notice from Landlord or Landlord’s agent”
