Tips for a Cozy Christmas as a Tenant

Are you Renting this Christmas?

Whether you are a new tenant or a long-time resident, these are some helpful tips on being a great neighbor in your Chilliwack Apartment or Townhome this holiday season!

Christmas Cheer

• Being friendly and courteous can go a long way. By welcoming new residents to the building and greeting existing tenants kindly, it can create a great sense of community and safety within your building.
• Christmas is a great time to reconnect with your extended family and friends and celebrate the season. Host that party! But remember that respecting noise guidelines and bylaws will create a better sense of peace and harmony within your home and your neighbors.
• Don’t forget to turn on your overhead fans while cooking to make sure any smells or extra heat are vented outside, and make sure your stovetop is clear of any items. A tray in the bottom of your oven to catch any drips is a great way to keep your oven clean and prevent any accidents.

Holiday Help

• We all know that expenses during the holidays add up quickly! Cost-effective savings are huge during the holiday season, so consider using LED Christmas lights to help save on your energy bills!
• Keep in mind that not all wrapping paper is recyclable, being a great tenant could be as simple as making sure you’ve properly organized your recyclables and household garbage!
• Stay safe this holiday season by ensuring your fireplace and or electric baseboard heaters are turned off while you’re not at home.
• Christmas trees are always fun to set up and decorate, but make sure to check with your building manager about any policies regarding live or artificial trees.
• Keep your family safe by making sure electronic or battery-operated Christmas decorations are turned off when you are not at home or are sleeping.
