In ca. it is not possible to waive liability. I am not sure how it is possible at all for a provider to have a parent sign off, waiving their right to legal recourse should a child be hurt on the premises or while in the care of the provider. If we do not carry liability insurance, parents sign a waiver acknowldging that, BUT it also states that this does not preclude them from suing the provider should something happen to their child while in our care.

OP, I would contact an attorney about it being legally binding if a parent signs a document stating they will not sue the landlord if a child is hurt on his property. I just do not see how it could be held up in court should a child get hurt on something that should have been repaired and was not, etc.

Tom Copeland might know something about this as well.....perhaps post a question about it for im in the taxes forum?
