ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

AIM FOR A SAFE, SECURE MOVE CHUCK RESNICK When you move, you want your belongings to arrive at their destination safely.

But there are other forms of safety and security to consider.

For example, as items are being transferred to and from the truck, how can you be sure nothing goes missing?

Make sure those involved don’t leave vehicles unattended for too long. This is particularly important when moving in or out of an apartment building, when trips to the elevator may mean those

carrying the items are gone from the moving vehicle for extended periods of time.

Untrained people who help you move may inadvertently cause damage because they lack the know-how to move certain items.

Movers have special packing materials, labels and loading/ unloading techniques in place to protect these cherished pieces.

Moving electronic storage equipment and servers can be tricky.

Does your mover have a strategy in place with information security as a goal? It’s also a good idea to have specific items appraised and insured personally to protect them. Create an inventory, take photos and provide a copy to the mover.

Another aspect of a move is the ability of the drivers. Are

1 AND 2 BEDROOM SUITES AVAILABLE 3D TOUR AT www.towersrealty.ca/glenmore-manor

they skilled, experienced or even trained to drive the vehicle safely?

If you are not used to driving with a heavy load, it can be risky.

A professional moving company provides trained drivers.

A mover who offers full insurance with professional and bonded employees relieves you of safety and security issues. You can DIY, but in the end, is it worth it?

ADVICE | RENTERS’ HELP

GET SETTLED INTO YOUR NEW COMMUNITY BY DOING THIS

KIMBERLY LEUNG

When you move, you’ll probably be happy to let go of a few things, like old clothes, worn furniture and broken gadgets. Those you won’t miss. But the things you will?

Close friends, favourite hangouts – familiar things that made you feel at home. While some things aren’t easily replaced, the following tips can help you get settled into a new neighbourhood after relocating.

Find some great new favourites and it will make adjusting just a little bit easier.

unfamiliar place. Or just keep your eyes open in the morning during your commute. You’ll learn to recognize landmarks, familiarize yourself with street names, and perhaps spot a place or two to get off and explore. All this while someone else does the driving.

LOOK ONLINE

Online reviews host a wealth of information about local businesses around you, but don’t stop there.

Bookmark some local blogs they’re known for publishing ‘bestof’ lists and frequently updated listings to community events. And while you might not be a tourist, travel websites can be a great place to find the must-trys and can’t-misses in your new city.

TAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT

Economical and eco-friendly, taking public transit is one of the best ways to get a feel for a new city. No plans? Grab a day pass and pick a route along a major road. This will help you get your bearings and get settled in an 26 Renters Guide | Oct. 20–Nov. 3, 2023

ASK AROUND

Independent exploration and online research can only take you so far. Don’t be shy - take the initiative and ask someone in your project group to suggest some lunch options. Take up your

coworkers on those after-work drinks. Use opportunities to get to know others better, and ask questions! People love to share their experiences - good, bad, and ugly, and it’ll give you some much needed insight when you’re a recent transplant to a new place.

If you’re introverted and this all sounds easier said than done, try connecting with just one or two people you feel comfortable with.

Asking for recommendations is a casual way to break the ice and get a conversation started. You’ll get settled much quicker if you develop your social network.

ADVICE | APARTMENTALITY

LIFETIME RENTER IT’S A LIFESTYLE

KATHRYN KUSYSZYN

To buy or to rent? You may not think it’s anybody’s plan, but being a lifetime renter is actually a great choice. It’s one that’s already a common experience in cities like New York, Miami, Boston and LA, where owning property is beyond most people’s income level and location is more important that homeownership. It’s also catching on with a generation that doesn’t want to be tied down with financial responsibility instead of the financial freedom to move and pursue different opportunities.

It’s hard to fathom for some people. The media is constantly making ownership the most desirable goal, but the reality is, home ownership isn’t for everyone. Conventional wisdom says buy if you can, especially with the current low interest rates, because you build equity. And if you’re young, you need a place to live and to house your children.

When you sell, you’ll be able to afford a nicer home or make a profit and downsize. It all sounds great in theory, however, that theory assumes that you will buy at the best time and sell at the best time, thus maximizing your profits.

Nor does it factor in the costs of inflation, renovations, maintenance and upkeep, property taxes and so on. In some cases, being a lifetime renter is the preferred option. Here are some scenarios where those who could afford to buy still opt to rent, and why.

38

Renters Guide | Oct. 20–Nov. 3, 2023

Young professionals more interested in travel than yard work.

Couples without children who travel a lot often prefer to ditch the gardening obligations, bills and headaches associated with owning a home. Footloose and fancy free, they would rather put their money into an investment portfolio. Let the landlord deal with utilities and upkeep. They’re off on adventures!

Entrepreneurs running a business. They frequently work long hours and struggle to find time for family and friends, never mind house repairs or tenants.

Any extra funds they have are being put into building the business, therefore owning a home is not a priority.

People in careers that are planning to transition in the next three to five years. If they own a home they may be stuck selling during a down market but have little choice in the matter since it their time to move on. Being a renter makes it easier to pick up and leave when they need to, and practically speaking, their time and energy are focused on their careers.

Families with small children or caring for elderly family members may simply not have the time that home-owning requires. They are choosing the priority of family, and that is certainly a full-time job in and of itself. Giving a rent check and then forgetting about it for 30 days is infinitely easier to manage than the responsibility of home-owning.

One of the added benefits of being a lifetime renter in provinces with rent control – your cost of living doesn’t rise at the same rate as inflation. If you keep the same apartment, your rent can only go up by small increments, after 10, 15, 20 years, you’ll find your rent will be greatly under the market rent values in a high-demand area.

If you match any of these scenarios, you will likely enjoy being a lifetime renter.
