Window Falls and Safety Warnings Now that warm weather is here, windows are opened wide and balconies are in use.  windows and balconies are a safety hazard to children and pets due to the risk of falls.  Every year a baby or child is killed or seriously injured by falling out of a window or from the balcony of an Ottawa apartment. As landlords we can help avoid these tragedies by reminding our tenants of the window safety issue.  On the EOLO website you will find a draft window safety notices.  We suggest that you adapt the notice to your building, distribute it under your tenants doors and post it in the lobby of your building. Click here for a Window Safety Notice that you can post in your building(s) (editable MS Word document).
