HOLIDAYS AND SAFETY IN CONDOMINIUMS: BEST PRACTICES FOR A HASSLE-FREE SEASON

The Holiday Season transforms the atmosphere in buildings… and in condominiums too! To ensure that this period remains enjoyable for everyone, here are some practical tips for combining festivities, safety, and good neighborliness.

CELEBRATIONS: KEEP NOISE AND VISITORS UNDER CONTROL

Respect the quiet hours specified in your declaration of co-ownership. After 11 p.m., it is recommended that you significantly lower the volume of music or conversations.
Notify your neighbors if you are planning a lively party.
Parking: make sure your guests only use the spaces provided for this purpose. An illegally parked vehicle can quickly become a source of irritation for everyone.

Decorations and safety: stay vigilant

Electric garlands: choose CSA-certified or approved products and avoid overloading your outlets.
Natural Christmas trees: if permitted in your condominium (check your declaration), make sure it is well away from any heat sources and removed after the holidays.
Balconies and emergency exits: avoid placing bulky or flammable decorations there.

PACKAGES AND DELIVERIES: BE PREPARED

If your building has smart lockers (e.g., Expedibox, Snaile), specify their use to the delivery person when placing your order.
Avoid cluttering the entrance: pick up your packages quickly and avoid deliveries if you will be away for an extended period of time.

PETS: DISCRETION AND CLEANLINESS

No constant barking: make sure your pet does not cause noise pollution during parties.
No dog toilet breaks on the balcony: take your pet outside and keep the premises clean. It is essential to follow this rule in winter to avoid unpleasant surprises in the spring.

EXTENDED ABSENCE: PROTECT YOUR UNIT

Keep the temperature at a minimum of 15°C (ideally 18°C) to prevent pipes from freezing.
Close your windows and doors tightly, especially when traveling.

RECYCLING: A SMALL EFFORT THAT GOES A LONG WAY

Flatten your boxes and pack your waste in appropriate bags.
Do not overload the bins: this complicates the task of the maintenance teams and compromises hygiene.

THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT, EVEN AMONG NEIGHBORS

A small gesture, a kind word, an invitation to the common room… The holidays are a great opportunity to maintain harmonious relationships in your building.

The entire SolutionCondo team wishes you a joyful holiday season.
