WRONG!!!

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a landlord cannot refuse waterbeds.
However, a smart landlord can demand the renter carry insurance to cover ANY damage caused by a waterbed.
I'm once again disappointed in the landlords here who allege to know what they are doing.

"Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a landlord cannot refuse waterbeds."
This part is true, IF, the the applicant qualifies as having a disability, AND a qualified professional (such as a Doctor) gives a statement that having a WB is necessary
"However, a smart landlord can demand the renter carry insurance to cover ANY damage caused by a waterbed."
This part is incorrect A LL cannot require a disabled person to get insurance for having a WB any more that the can require insurance for having a seeing eye dog.

Then who covers the damage if the waterbed explodes? The landlord?

Waterbeds are not under pressure and do not explode, that is a myth. They also have a liner between the mattress and the frame to contain water in case of a leak.
