Winter is the perfect time to get comfortable at home but it’s also when small issues can quickly turn into big problems if left unchecked.

Here are a few simple winter safety tips every tenant should follow:

1️⃣ Check your heating early
Make sure radiators, timers and boilers are working before temperatures drop. Report any issues straight away.

2️⃣ Keep vents clear
Good ventilation helps prevent damp, mould and condensation — especially when drying clothes indoors.

3️⃣ Use heaters safely
Avoid placing items too close to heaters, and never leave portable heaters unattended.

4️⃣ Watch for condensation
Wipe down windows and surfaces regularly, and keep rooms aired to reduce moisture build-up.

5️⃣ Know how to find the stopcock
If a pipe leaks or bursts, turning the water off quickly can prevent major damage.

6️⃣ Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
A quick monthly check keeps your home safe throughout the winter months.

Keeping your home warm and safe doesn’t take much — just a few simple habits that make a big difference.
