It’s that time of year! Everything You Need to Know About Rental Apartment Living This Holiday Season.
Do you want a real Christmas tree? Keep That Thought!
Due to fire safety concerns, live Christmas trees are prohibited in all buildings. Not only are they a fire hazard, but they can create a mess in the common spaces, from dried needles and trees being dragged down the hallways.
Oh, The Wonderful Smell of Candles.
Burning candy cane and cinnamon-scented candles is a great way to fill the air with the scent of the cosy, festive season, but remember not to leave candles unattended, and especially not near flammable items like the Christmas tree.
Keep in mind that smells travel, so be mindful of your neighbours, not to overwhelm them.
Be Mindful of Your Surroundings When Playing Your Christmas Tunes
It’s true… Not all of your neighbours will appreciate hearing Christmas music blasting from nearby units, so please remember to respect everyone’s right to peace and quiet by playing music at a reasonable volume.
Before You Drape the Bright Lights.
When shopping for Christmas lights, opt for LED lights. They are not only energy-efficient, but they rarely overheat. It’s also a good idea not to leave the lights on for more than 24 hours. Unplug the lights when you leave the house to give them time to cool down.
If you are hanging lights from the balcony, make sure they are properly secured to avoid the lights becoming loose or falling. Remember, safety comes first!
