Fourth of July Safety Tips for Tenants and Property Owners

As fireworks light up Charleston’s skyline, it’s important for both tenants and property owners to celebrate safely. The Fourth of July brings a festive spirit—but also unique risks to rental properties. Here are a few safety reminders to help make the holiday smooth and stress-free.

Know the Rules About Fireworks

While fireworks are a holiday staple, many areas in Charleston restrict their use due to fire hazards. Property owners should remind tenants of any lease restrictions and local ordinances ahead of the holiday.

Grill with Caution

Backyard barbecues are a Fourth of July tradition. Encourage tenants to use grills safely: keep them at least 10 feet from any structure, never leave them unattended, and ensure they’re on a stable surface.

Mind the Noise

Charleston neighborhoods thrive on charm and community. Remind tenants to be respectful of neighbors by keeping celebrations within reasonable hours and avoiding excessive noise.

Protect Pets and Guests

Fireworks can be stressful for animals. Encourage tenants to keep pets indoors and secure. Guests should be informed about parking rules and trash disposal policies.
