The holiday season is a wonderful time to make your condo feel festive, but a few simple precautions will help keep you and your neighbours safe. If you’re putting up a real tree, keep it well watered and away from any heat sources, or consider an artificial tree that is fire resistant. Swap traditional candles for battery-operated ones, and avoid overloading power bars or running extension cords under rugs where they can overheat. Always Turn off decorative lights before heading to bed or leaving home, a simple timer can make that easy too.

Before decorating the outside of your unit, take a moment to review your buildings rules. It is important to make sure common areas are clear for fire safety and accessibility. Decorations on balconies should be securely fastened so they don’t blow away in winter winds. With a little planning, you can enjoy a bright and cheerful season while being a great neighbour.
