INSPIRATION
Fun and functional finds that work well indoors and out
Dual-actıon satisfaction
by MARLENE EISNER
With climate change shifting the boundaries between seasons, it’s becoming more challenging to plan outdoor spaces. Spring seems to start later, and so outdoor furniture stays inside for longer. Summer has no problem lingering into late-October, which means everything remains outside until we fall back an hour in early November. And the winter? Well, it’s Canada. It’s still unpredictable: Always cold, sometimes rainy and often icy with lots of snow and chilly winds. One way to make the most out of your outdoor decor, is to populate it with stylish and functional items in the hotter months that also work well inside when the temperatures dive — all from Canadian companies. Now is the best time to add something new to your outdoor escape with mid- to end-of-summer sales. That means big savings for items that will last well into the late fall, and then do double duty inside your house when the snow falls.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A RENTAL
Whether it’s your first apartment or your 10th, you’re going to want to find the home that best suits your needs. While looking for a new apartment, use this handy checklist to make sure you’ve covered all your bases.
THE RENTAL UNIT
• Is there a storage place for extra belongings such as bikes, luggage, etc.? Who has access to this place?
• Where is the closest bus stop?
• Is the apartment near services that are used regularly? (groceries, bank, fitness)
• Is the rental unit clean? Who shovels the snow and cuts the grass? Who supplies the equipment (shovels, lawn mower)?
• Where can vehicles be parked? Is there good lighting outside and in the parking lot?
• How quiet or noisy is the rental unit during the evening for studying or sleeping?
• Are there laundry facilities? Is there a schedule for use? Is there a cost? Where is the closest laundromat?
• Does the building have Internet service, or can it be installed?
FINANCES
• How much is the rent?
• Is a security deposit required? What is the amount?
• Does the rent include utilities: Heat, water, electricity, cable or Internet?
• Will a utility hook-up charge be extra?
• Will parking cost extra? What is the amount?
• Who has to pay for repairs — big ones and small ones?
AVOID ROOMMATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS
• Who will sign the residential tenancy agreement (lease)? It’s best that all parties be named on it.
• What will happen if one person needs to move out before the end of the lease?
• How will costs be shared and bills paid?
• How will problems be resolved?
QUESTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
• Is the lease for a fixed amount of time or month-to-month?
• When and where will the rent be paid? What happens if it is late? Ask for receipts for any payments.
• Who do you contact if there is a problem?
• Have you arranged for tenants’ insurance?
• Are sublets okay? What about a roommate?
• Are pets allowed? Is a deposit required?
• Is smoking allowed?
• How long can guests stay?
• Are you able to decorate your unit? What is the policy about push pins and hammering nails in the walls?
• When and where are notices delivered when it’s time to move out?
• When will the inspection report be done.
It’s always a good idea to keep copies of documents related to your rental unit, including the tenancy agreement, inspection report and receipts. Asking the right questions and considering the answers before you sign on the dotted line will help you find a rental unit that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

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.
