Winter Maintenance Tips for Tenants in PA

Proper care during the cold months prevents damage, keeps utilities efficient, and ensures a safe living environment.

1. Heating System Care

Test your thermostat to ensure it functions correctly

Report any issues with radiators, furnaces, or baseboard heaters to the landlord immediately

Avoid blocking vents and radiators to maintain proper airflow

2. Prevent Frozen Pipes

Keep cabinets under sinks open to allow warm air circulation

Let faucets drip slowly during extremely cold nights

Know the location of the main water shut-off valve in case of emergencies

3. Maintain Windows and Doors

Check for drafts and report broken seals to the landlord

Use weather stripping or draft stoppers where permitted

Close curtains or blinds at night to retain heat

4. Snow and Ice Safety

Clear walkways and entrances if required by the lease agreement

Avoid using salt or chemicals that may damage property surfaces unless approved

Wear appropriate footwear to prevent slips and falls
