Question: What are the requirements for the caretaker to clean and maintain the pool?
I live in a complex which has a large swimming pool that is available to 95 residents and their families. It is the caretaker’s job to clean the pool. A pool service is conducted by an external contractor once a week to check the chemicals etc.
- Should the filter basket be checked by the caretaker on a daily basis and the pool be checked for items like dead rats?
- Should the caretakers be required to sign a schedule on a daily basis to confirm the pool has been cleaned and checked?
- if so, should the schedule be readily available for residents to check?
Answer: This will depend on the precise wording and duties set out in the caretaking agreement.
The answers to these queries will depend on the precise wording and duties set out in the caretaking agreement.
If I were to guess, I suspect the answers would be yes, no and no. However, the actual answer would require a review of the full agreement.
