A waterbed lease addendum is a form added to a lease that allows the tenant to install a waterbed on the property. Because waterbeds come with the risk of water damage, the addendum serves as a way for landlords to protect themselves against liability. It can add new terms to the original lease, including an additional security deposit, assigning responsibility for damages, and extra insurance.

Waterbed Risks

Landlords often do not allow waterbeds in their property as they pose potential risks to property, such as leakage or flooding, electrical shock, or mold. However, some states prohibit landlords from restricting tenants from owning a waterbed, so long as the tenant complies with building codes and insurance requirements.
