Festive Lettings: Decorating Rules & Tenant-Friendly Policies

At That Letting Place, we know there’s nothing quite like the sparkle of the festive season — a tree in the window, twinkling lights, and the scent of cinnamon and pine. But when it comes to rented homes, a little care goes a long way to keeping both landlords and tenants happy during the holidays.

Festive Decorating Rules Corby

Decorate with care

Tenants are welcome to make their home feel festive, but it’s important to avoid damage — skip nails or tacks for hanging decorations and try removable hooks or window stickers instead. Real trees look beautiful, but they can shed needles and mark floors, so a good mat underneath helps protect surfaces.

Light safely

Always check fairy lights for frayed wires, switch them off at night, and never overload plug sockets. Battery-powered LED lights are a safer and more energy-efficient choice.

Landlords — spread goodwill, not risk

A friendly pre-Christmas reminder to tenants about safety and waste disposal keeps everyone on the same page. It’s also the perfect time to check smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors before the busy season begins.

Whether you’re decking the halls or heading away for the holidays, a little communication makes sure everyone enjoys a safe, happy, and damage-free December.
