From kitchen fires to decoration safety, there are a lot of things that can result in an emergency if left unchecked. Use your tenant newsletter, a text message or a quick email to offer these helpful reminders and tips that keep tenants safe this holiday season.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Between Thanksgiving feasts and the holiday festivities throughout December, there are numerous opportunities for festive celebrations. Unfortunately, the holiday hubbub can result in some safety issues if adequate precautions aren\u2019t taken. This means that landlords and managers need to proactively pass along key holiday safety information to keep your tenants and rentals safe this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, the holidays involve special traditions and a lot of feasts, but these can lead to safety concerns without proper planning. Safety concerns need to be addressed before anyone takes on traditional preparations. A tenant newsletter, a text message with a link to relevant information, or a reminder in your software\u2019s tenant portal can be a quick and effective way to ensure your tenants stay safe during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kitchen-safety-tips-to-prevent-kitchen-fires-during-the-holidays\">Kitchen Safety Tips to Prevent Kitchen Fires During the Holidays:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Fire Administration states that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfa.fema.gov\/statistics\/reports\/fire-causes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">51 percent of house fires start in the kitchen<\/a>. Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires, followed by Christmas Day, the day before Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas Eve. This year could prove especially volatile since inexperienced cooks may be tempted to take on the traditional Thanksgiving turkey. Landlords and property managers should be especially aware of how essential a brief reminder about kitchen safety can be for your tenants and your investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pass along these simple reminders to your tenants:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Test your smoke alarms before cooking to ensure they are working properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not leave the kitchen unattended and keep an eye on the food.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your stovetop free of cooking utensils and debris (oven mitts, in particular, can easily catch fire when too close to a burner or hot pot).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid cooking while under the influence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check on your turkey frequently and do not leave the home while it is cooking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep children at least 3 feet away from the hot stove. Keep children away from hot liquids; a splash or steam from cooking food could cause serious injury. Additionally, ensure children are not near sharp utensils or have access to pull on cords from electric appliances like electric knives, plate warmers etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check your seasonal appliances to ensure cords are in good working order and not frayed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the floor clear of debris and clean up any spills to prevent tripping or slipping with hot items in hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, make sure your tenants know <a href=\"https:\/\/cluballiance.aaa.com\/the-extra-mile\/advice\/life\/how-to-put-out-a-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to put out a grease fire or an electrical fire<\/a> if one were to occur due to too hot oil or a faulty kitchen appliance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Holiday Decoration Safety Reminders:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As Christmas and Hanukkah approach, your tenants may begin decorating for the holiday season. While this festive tradition is sure to bring much-needed joy to an unprecedented year, remind tenants to keep an eye out for safety hazards. This is also a good time to slip in a few reminders about your open flame policy and what types of decorations are allowed. Pass along some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/damage-free-holiday-decorating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">damage-free decor ideas for the holidays<\/a> to ensure they can celebrate without causing permanent changes to the property. Since electric holiday decorations are used year after year and then stored, remind your tenants to look out for wear and tear that these items can face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Alongside this general reminder, pass along these key holiday decoration safety tips:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Replace any electric decorations with worn or frayed cords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not leave electric decorations on while sleeping or away from the home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid overloading outlets, and do not connect more than 3 strings of lights together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esfi.org\/candle-safety-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Candles start almost half of home decoration fires;<\/a> never leave candles unattended, and be sure to extinguish them before sleeping. Consider opting for battery-operated candles instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that all electrical cords are not pinched by furniture or forced into tight spaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep live trees well-hydrated and away from heat sources and ensure that faux trees are labeled \u201cfire-resistant.\u201d Consider keeping a fire extinguisher next to your tree.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For any decor installation in high places, use a proper ladder and ensure someone is there to support the base. If you are using a ladder,\u00a0 always keep three points of contact on the ladder (2 hands and 1 foot or 2 feet and 1 hand) and follow the 1-to-4 rule for extension ladders: for every four feet the ladder rises, move the base out one foot from the structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Smart About Travel Plans:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some important things your tenants should consider if they are going out of town. Remind your tenants to inform you if they will be gone for an extended period of time. (Especially if your rental resides in a state where renters are legally required to inform their landlord of extended vacation plans or if the lease may offer the same stipulations.) This can ensure you are able to inspect the property for issues such as criminal activity or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/steps-for-a-burst-or-frozen-pipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">burst pipe<\/a> that would otherwise go unnoticed since the occupants are away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Finally, since December is a peak month for burglaries, direct your tenants to the safety tips outlined in this article: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/renter-safety-holidays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Renter Safety: Keep Your Residents Safe from Burglaries During the Holidays<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your tenants and property safe this holiday season may be as simple as a quick newsletter update.
