Community Living Over The Festive Season


With the festive season well and truly underway we thought we would put together some tips on how to best manage community living over this time. From loud parties to leaving your home behind as you head off on vacation to knowing who to contact when your OC manager is on holiday, here are some important things to keep in mind:
  • If you are having Christmas/New Year’s parties, it is courteous to let your neighbours know in advance and do your best to keep the noise down late at night.
  • When sharing bins with others it is vital that Christmas wrapping/packaging be disposed of appropriately – recycle where possible, break down/flatten boxes and don’t overload the communal bins. And wrap up those prawn shells!
  • Ensure pets are properly looked after if you are going away.
  • It is a very good idea to leave a key with a friend or family member and inform your OC manager of who to contact in your absence in case there is an emergency. You wouldn’t want your fantastic summer holiday cut short by a burst water pipe or broken alarm.
  • Ensure all items on balconies/courtyards are well secured in case of summer storms.
  • OC Managers/building managers all need a holiday break too… so make sure you know who to contact in an emergency on public holidays.
