SIX STEPS TO FINDING A GREAT RENTAL
Know your rental wants and needs before you start looking to simplify your search. CMHC offers some tips to help you find the right place to call “home.”
1. IDENTIFY YOUR RENTAL NEEDS: What’s your budget? Which neighbourhood do you prefer? How many bedrooms? Make a list of your needs and preferences to help narrow down that great rental opportunity.
2. ASK QUESTIONS: Have a list of questions ready to ask the landlord. Is parking included in the rent? Utilities? Ask about the lease and terms. Be clear on any policies that may affect your lifestyle.
3. FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT:
Make a good impression when you meet the landlord. Dress neatly and arrive on time. Bring your rental history and references, a current employment letter, and a cheque so you can leave a deposit in case you’re interested in taking the place.
4. TAKE NOTES: If viewing several apartments, write down key features of each so you can compare later.
5. REVIEW YOUR LEASE: Rental agreements vary but generally include the names of the landlord and tenant, the address of the property, the amount of the rent, what is included in that cost, the rent payment due date, the deposit amount paid, the term of the
rental period, and details like who is responsible for upkeep. Ensure all this information is outlined.
6. TAKE NOTES – AGAIN: It’s time to move in! Before you do, you and your landlord should inspect your new home together. Document all issues so you won’t be held liable for any pre-existing damage when you leave.

MORE SECURELY TIPS FOR SHOPPING
Online shopping offers convenience, but also an array of options that can be overwhelming, and an added risk of fraud. Here are some simple steps you can take to make your experience smoother and safer:
START EARLY
This lets you compare options at a relaxed pace and helps you make more confident decisions. Two things to look out for:
• Early bird specials that can help you get everything done ahead of schedule and below budget.
• Prices that go up right before big “sale” events to create the appearance of big discounts. Note the prices for items you’re interested in so that you know if you’re actually getting a deal when the sale begins.
CHECK OUT LOCAL VENDORS
In-person shopping may not be top of mind, but it can be
rewarding. It supports businesses in your community, helps you find more unique gifts and allows you to buy from people you know you can trust.
STAY ALERT FOR SCAMS
Honest retailers still have to deal with the threat of fraudsters pretending to be them and sending phishing messages to get people’s private information disguised as order notifications and delivery messages. Here are a couple of things you can do:
• If you get a fake message from a local business, let them know. It helps them step up their cybersecurity to keep everyone safe.
• Ask retailers if they use protective measures, like Mastercard’s anti-fraud tools, which use artificial intelligence (AI) to spot and stop fraudulent transactions in real time. More fraudsters are using AI to
enhance their scams, so AIpowered defence can be good protection.
USE SECURE PAYMENT OPTIONS
For any online shopping, pay attention to how you are asked to pay. Look for HTTPS or a padlock icon in the URL, which indicates a secure connection. Stick to businesses that use safe, secure payment methods like major credit cards or mobile wallets. If you’re ever unsure, don’t hesitate to reach out directly and ask the business how they’ll process your payment. Don’t complete any online transaction unless you’re confident it’s secure.
There’s a lot to watch out for during busy shopping times, but many businesses are taking steps to make the experience safe and easier. By practicing cyber safety, you can do your part, too. News Canada
