I just got a new tenant in my rental house and this time I had to add a clause to the lease enumerating brands of lithium-ion batteries the tenant is allowed to keep on the premises. These things are basically grenades that you can buy for $2 on Temu. Stronger regulations needed.

I'm not a landowner, but (subject to the local laws of course) I imagine a safer course of action would be decent home insurance. Realistically, there's a thousand other ways things can go disastrously wrong, including nothing that could be the tenant's fault (like natural disasters).

Batteries? Picture a fondue going wrong.

If you've ever dealt with home insurance you try very hard to not have to deal with home insurance.

To say your goals are cross-aligned with theirs would be an understatement.
