Q. I'm leasing a house near college and brought a hot tub. My lease says I need to get written consent for an "addition, alteration, or improvement." If the hot tub is no way permanent (only for one semester),
I already pay for utilities, got it insured, made sure it has no lasting effect on the house what so ever, do I even have to get written consent? If they say no, can I negotiate and have a valid argument? I really want a hot tub, and already paid for it and moved it.
My father is an electrician and he can have it installed through a preexisting outlet, no additional work required. it is similar to a computer or a dryer etc

Answer
Most hot tubs require connections to the utilities systems (water, sewer, electrical and/or gas) of the building. That constitutes an addition, alteration, or improvement to the property and that would require the landlord's consent.
There are a few "portable" hot tubs that don't require direct connection to the utilities so those would not constitute an addition, alteration, or improvement. That said, having seen how lousy those 125 volt hot tubs are, you're not going to enjoy it very much.
If you have to modify the building's electrical system (as would be the case for any 230 volt systems) that would require the landlord's permission. Unless it can be plugged in to an existing outlet, which does not sound like the case, you must get the landlord's permission.

How much does a nice six person portable hot tub cost?

Answer
Looking at some on-line, there's a big price jump from a 4 person hot tub to a 6 person hot tub.
A new portable 4 person hot tub can run $1000 and up.
Whereas a new portable 6 person hot tub can run $3000 and up.
Probably due to the bigger equipment necessary to run it.
You might want to check out a reconditioned one.
They are a fraction of the price and come with full warranties.
