But, the biggest issue for me would be the potential liability if a renter gets injured or injures someone else. I don't think you could charge enough to make it worthwhile.

My opinion.

What about all the landlords that include them in monthly rental.... that's not running a business. But if course, yes, get insurance....or have renter pick up a 1 week policy.
