In CA? Doubt it.
But you'd need to contact an attorney that specializes in family child care. Here in CA we are a protected class and some laws and HOA regulations don't apply to us because of that protection. Basically landlords cannot hold family child care homes to different renter rules than they would a normal tenant other than to request a higher deposit and require you to have liability insurance and name them on it.

Anything that would be covered under "normal wear and tear" would still need to be covered by the landlord just like the ould a different tenant. If a window broke or something similar then that woud not be "normal wear and tear" and the tenant is responsible. A leak in plumbing or the roof for example is "normal wear and tear" and the landlord is responsible.

I'd never sign a contract that required for me to be responsible for normal wear and tear.
