Take a look at your lease agreement and see what it says. Good luck.

A lot depends on the law of the state in question, but generally a landlord is allowed to make reasonable rules for the use of the property. I doubt that a rule that prohibits children from playing outdoors is reasonable. But whether it is or not, this is a good time to find different lodgings. Soon. Good luck.

No, its not legal. However, if you are in a dangerous neighborhood, you should not let the kids out without an adult watching them.
