SUMMER is here meaning friends and family gatherings galore. And of course you’ve got to feed your people.
But what are the rules for cooking your lunch on a barbeque if you live in an apartment?
There are no laws prohibiting you from using a barbeque on a private property’s balcony or terrace, so you don’t need your neighbours’ permission.

However, there are some requirements to be aware of:
- Residents can request that barbeques not be held in their building if they are found to be bothersome or dangerous.
- Check regulations of your apartment building for express barbeque rules, as well as regulations of your city council.
- Never leave a lit fire unattended.
- Keep a fire extinguisher or water near on hand.
- Control smoke and odors, such as choosing to use charcoal or electric grills.
- Maintain the cleanliness of the grills and surrounding areas, especially if shared.
Note, barbeques are banned in the countryside during summer.
