We are renters getting ready to move and the home is being foreclosed on we want to drain the pool knowing the owner is not going to return to the property to take care of it, so it dose not acquire mosquitoes and algae but if someone comes in the yard and gets hurt is it our fault, because we drained it. We are in San Bernardino County, In Ca

Once your lease is up your responsibilities end. On the day that you leave get that days newspaper, hold it up and have you picture taken in front of the pool so a judge can see that on that day the pool was full with NO algae. From then on the owner has to worry about it.
You could pour a cup of oil onto the water to take care of the mosquitoes. Anyone who goes into a pool with algae deserves what happens to them, don't worry about it.

Call your local building department. If the pool is fenced, and has child proof latches, then you are done. If not, then draining the pool is a good idea (may be a local law), regardless of anything else. Kids drown all the time in pools.
