Your safety in case of fire
You are guaranteed to have at least one smoke detector in your home. If you are missing a smoke detector, contact our property managers, and we will install one for you. As a tenant, you are responsible for ensuring the smoke detector works. Therefore, remember to test your smoke detector regularly. When the battery in the smoke detector is running low, it emits short beeps. Then simply take it down and replace the battery or contact your property manager.
If a fire breaks out, it is very important that stairwells, corridors, and basement corridors are clear and easily accessible. This is so that you can quickly exit the building, but also so that rescue services and ambulance personnel can enter. Therefore, it is not allowed to store items such as strollers, bicycles, shoes, and toys in these common areas. They can also catch fire and cause serious damage.
In case of fire:
*Call 112
*Rescue people in danger
*Try to extinguish the fire if you have a fire extinguisher, but do not take unnecessary risks
*If the room fills with smoke, crawl under the smoke
*Close the door to the room where the fire is
If there is a fire in the stairwell, you should stay in your apartment. If there is smoke in the stairwell, you should never go out there. Smoke spreads quickly and is deadly.
We conduct regular fire safety rounds where we check that nothing is obstructing the way, and we also appreciate if you, as a tenant, keep this in mind. Many fires occur due to forgotten candles, electrical faults, or overheating of various kinds, and many of these incidents could have been prevented.
Please see the video here on how you can prevent fires yourself.
Damage in the apartment
It is important to report damage as soon as possible. If you suspect your home has moisture or water damage, it is urgent to address it as the damage can spread throughout the property. The sooner we can fix the fault, the less likely we will need to break open walls and floors to fix the damage.
