EDITORS’ NOTES

y

ou’ve decided it’s time to rent a new space. Now you have another decision to make – choosing your property management company.

How can you check the reputation of the company or landlord you’re considering renting from? First, find out how long the company has been in business by asking the staff or visiting the company’s website to see what information they offer online.

Most property management companies have well-established business practices in place to ensure that the customer comes first. If possible, drive around existing communities managed by the company you’re considering and speak to some of the renters in the building. Many property management companies will be able to put you in touch with people who would be happy to provide a testimonial.

Get a feel for each company and the staff. You should be comfortable and courteous asking questions and in turn you should expect to be treated with consideration and respect. Think twice about any property management company that doesn’t willingly provide any information you respectfully request.

Putting the customer first and offering the best quality rental space for your money is a property management company’s ultimate goal. Once you find the perfect space, don’t hesitate in going for it and making it your own!

Let us know how your search for a new home goes. We’d love to hear from you!

es, it’s cold. I think we can all admit it’s cold out there. I don’t care what the statistics say, I say it’s the coldest year I’ve ever experienced. (But I say that every year.) So please, just indulge me and stop reminding me that I’m Canadian. I’ll take snowy walks, go ice skating, spend a day on the ski hills – but I will not say ‘eh’ and I will not accept how absolutely freezing cold it gets. Windchill just depresses me. For those of you who feel the same, picking the right home is a great way to offset the whining.

Part of the problem with winter is lack of sunlight. The days are too short and it’s difficult for some of us to contend with. Pick your apartment by exposure. If you’re a morning person, an eastern exposure will get you a sunrise and morning to mid-day sun. If you’re home all day perhaps a southern exposure will max out your sunlight quotient.

Opt for a community with underground parking. The less time out in the elements the better. It’s those days sitting in an ice-cold car, revving the engine with the defrost on high after battling with the ice scraper that leave you cold and miserable and Googling jobs in sunny climates.

Finally, try finding a resort-like community. Something with an indoor pool, whirlpool and sauna. The outdoor pool may be a spectacular summer bonus, but in the winter, being able to luxuriate without stepping outside may add the tropical twist that your winter-resenting heart desires.

With this in mind, you’re ready for a winter move, and we’re here to help. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

quicktips

Apartment finding primer

G

et yourself into an apartment-hunting frame of mind and onto a successful search with these tips.

1 Get yourself in a gung-ho apartment search frame of mind.

You will be making a lot of phone calls and leaving many messages. If your messages aren’t returned the next day, you should call again. If you don’t have a local phone number, make one available to the caretaker/property management company.

2 Keep your chequebook with you.

When you see an apartment that looks good to you, you are going to have to decide and act upon it quickly. Good places do not stay on the market long! People constantly lose good places due to indecision.

3 Collect all of your rental information before you visit your first vacancy.

4 Have a credit report with you and give yourself an edge over the next guy.

Landlords are impressed by organization and preparedness. As well, you’ll save money by not having to shell out for each and every landlord that requires one.

5 Dress and groom as though you are going to a job interview.

In many respects it is the same. Landlords of really good units usually have their pick of several applicants.

They are looking for: • Someone both able and responsible enough to pay rent on time.

• People who will treat them and their property with care and respect.

• Quiet tenants who will not be disturbing to other tenants or neighbors.

6 Always keep your appointments and always show up on time.

No-shows are a major source of frustration for building managers and landlords.

7 Don’t get discouraged!

Finding a great place is not easy, but it is well worth the effort. Keep your chin up, get back on the phone and remember to always sound cheerful!

Good luck with your search!

there is a lot of concern, anxiety and confusion as to how to plan their retirement income.

“When we consider the risks of outliving retirement assets, unexpected costs, healthcare expenses and unpredictable investment returns, the importance of retirement planning and, more specifically, retirement income planning become more clear,” says Tina Di Vito, head of the BMO Retirement Institute.

When it comes to effective retirement income planning, Canadians need to accept that hard decisions have to be made and that some concessions will be necessary.

There is always a trade–off between risk and return, and in order to ensure a predictable income stream, one may have to give up some return to achieve more stability. In achieving predictability, however, one may also have to sacrifice some control and flexibility.

In deciding on their personal retirement income strategy, Canadians must recognize that they cannot have their cake and eat it too. They should make an honest assessment of what they need and value most and what they are prepared to give up, and choose the appropriate product or strategy that will best enable them to achieve those needs with a price tag that they are prepared to live with.

One’s individual situation, as well as one’s individual goals, will determine which solution – or combination of solutions – is best. It is also important to start thinking early, since the successful implementation of one’s strategy may involve taking action well before retirement.

Remember – there are no certainties in life. Just like those in other phases of their lives, people in retirement will need to stay flexible and be prepared to make adjustments to their retirement income plans in response to changing conditions.

avoid common

packing mistakes

by ChuCk ResniCk

M

ore than 4 million people moved residences in Canada last year, many of whom did the packing themselves. For some, it works out fine; others have problems resulting from a lack of foresight, poorly packed boxes and inexperience in loading moving trucks.

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

Here a re a few tips to help you avoid finding damaged items at your destination: 1. Consider purchasing boxes from your mover. The most common packing mistake we see is people getting free boxes at the grocery or liquor store and then putting too much weight in them. For example, using a large box to pack books and magazines may make it too heavy to lift, and the box might break during the move due to the weight.

Use this rule of thumb: the heavier the item, the smaller the box. Be choosy about your boxes; free boxes from a grocery store that have been used to ship produce could contain insect larvae that may transfer to your belongings.

2. Be realistic about the number of boxes you need. Depending on how long you have lived in your current location, you will most likely underestimate your boxes requirement.Often, we hear of renters who think 40 or 50 boxes will be enough, and then realize they need upwards of 80, two days before moving day.

3. Start packing early and be completely packed when the movers arrive.

Sometimes we arrive at a customer’s home and they’re not packed. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to move a customer’s belongings while they are attempting to shove items into boxes and we get in each others’ way.

This also interferes with the optimal loading of the moving truck. We have a loading system where the first things we place in the truck are light items such as chairs, lampshades, cushions, etc; we place these items in the ‘attic’ (the area over the cab) of the truck. We can get lots of light items up there and they stay secure.

Next, we create a ‘box wall’ stacked to the ceiling to hold the items in the TheRentersGuide.ca attic in place. We then stand plastic wrapped mattresses against the box wall and secure everything with tie-off

straps to keep belongings from getting jostled during the move. If you’re not completely packed and ready on moving day, we can’t create that box wall early on and, this decreases the capacity of the items that can be moved at one time. It also eats up precious time and, therefore, money!

4. Think ahead. Begin packing items you don’t use daily. As you pack your boxes move them to the front of your apartment and stack them along a wall near the front door. Having them by the door, organized and ready to go, instead of having movers go back and forth to each room can shave 10 to 20 seconds off the time for each box. Saving 20 seconds per box can save lots of time and money.

5. Consider having your moving company pack for you. We are skilled, have more experience and have standard-size small, medium and large

boxes that are designed to fit into our trucks to create a perfect box wall for optimum efficiency and safety.

So, when it comes to moving, forethought goes a long way. Because your belongings mean a lot to you, take extra care when packing so that they arrive at your destination safely.

Accessorize

me!

by jane lockhart

l

ooking to add some “pow!” to your space? Want to make a new home feel lived in and warm? Or are you simply looking to put some personality into a lifeless room? Look no further, the answer is clear – it’s in the power of accessories! There is no better way to finish a room than by adding those little touches that not only complete the design vision, but they often take seemingly unconnected items and simply tie them together.

Today there is an abundance of accessories available in multiple colours and endless styles. Accessories can range from the obvious furnishings like pillows and throws, to clocks, area rugs and even artwork and lamps.

Truly, anything short of the main items in a room required for it to function can be considered an accessory. Even some small pieces of furniture such as ottomans and side chairs can be classified as room accessories, depending on the space. But for the most part, people generally think of those little decorative items as the finishing touches which have immense impact, despite their small size.

Accessorizing can perform multiple functions within a room, depending on the style desired. For instance, the best way to tie a colour scheme together in a room is with throw pillows, blankets and small objects in a variety of co-ordinating colours. If high impact is your goal, select items in complementary or high-contrast colours to the room itself so they stand out against their surroundings. Or, if your space seems a bit flat, go for pieces that have strong pattern and texture compared to those larger items surrounding their placement.

The key to great accessories is to determine the overall goal to be achieved. Once this has happened, shopping for particular items can start. Know what you are shopping for before your begin, otherwise the temptation is to buy multiple items with no overall plan for their display.

TheRentersGuide.ca Accessory placement is as important as the item itself. Where possible, it’s best to stick to groups of objects rather than random placement of things all over surfaces. Groups of objects create mini focal points and TheRentersGuide.ca reinforce the visual picture to the viewer. Varying

heights and sizes of objects together add interest and break up flat walls behind. But remember to always keep it simple.

When beginning the process of placing items within a room, clear the space of all existing accessories. Move them to an adjacent room, and then add newly acquired pieces to this group as well. It’s from this group that you will select the pieces for positioning within the desired room. This allows you to determine key areas for placement.

Now, there is a fine line between well-displayed accessories and visual clutter. This can occur when too many items are placed all over a room with little rhyme or reason for location. Having too many accessories is as bad as too few, and can completely tank a good room design quickly. Use restraint – you can always add more over time.

Never overlook fresh flowers as a soft and fragrant accessory to any room. The colour and texture of a bouquet can add that personal flair and brings a touch of the outdoors in.

When shopping for accessories, check out local shops or unrelated retail stores, as items from these locations can often fit your room perfectly but offer a more individual element to the space. Even when you are on holiday or business travel, check out regional shops to see if anything catches your eye. Unique pieces gathered over a lifetime can add wonderful richness and depth to your home, making it personal to you.

In fact, well-chosen and cleverly displayed objects will continue to tell a story within a room and speak volumes about you and your loved ones without you even speaking a word.

How to keep the kitchen safe

T

he kitchen is a great place for family members to come together. Cooking is a great way to involve the entire family in an activity while still getting dinner on the table.

While this time can be a great way to bond, it can also be dangerous if food isn’t handled properly. Follow these food safety tips to keep the kitchen a safe and fun place:

Keep things separate: A combination of protein and vegetables is great for any meal, but keeping things separate is important for food safety. Designate a separate cutting board for meat and one for vegetables. Make things fun and creative for the kids by allowing them to pick out fun coloured cutting boards for each item.

Avoid chemicals: Keeping the counters clean is important for food safety, as bacteria from the counter can transfer onto your food. To keep your kitchen counters clean, choose a product with naturally derived ingredients, such as Green Works All-Purpose cleaner. Green Works products are made with at least 95 per cent naturally–derived ingredients, so you can be sure the clean you are getting is without harsh chemical fumes or residue.

Remember the date: Remembering expiry dates is essential to ensuring the food you feed your family is safe. Make sure the expiry dates on your food containers are visible and rotate older products to the front when you bring new groceries home. Making sure you have the freshest food on hand is a great way to ensure your family’s meals are both safe and nutritious.

Remember that healthy eating goes beyond your choice of food. Keeping your kitchen clean is a big part of making sure your family’s meals are as healthy as they can be. NC

Renting a Home Know Your rights and responsibilities

W

hether you’re a first-time renter or an experienced tenant, when it comes to renting a home, it’s important to make sure you understand your rights and responsibilities.

The first step in looking for a home is to identify your needs as a renter. What’s your budget? Which neighbourhood do you want to live in? How many bedrooms do you need?

What amenities are important to you? If you haven’t already created a list of your needs and preferences, CMHC’s Rental Search Worksheet can help give you a head start.

Once you’ve identified what you’re looking for, it’s time to start looking for your new home. There are a number of resources available to help you find a place to rent. These can range from magazines [Editor’s note: Like Renters Guide!) to newspapers, websites, notice boards and word-of-mouth.

When you look at a prospective rental, have a list of questions ready to ask the landlord. For example, you may

To help you through each stage of the rental process, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following tips on how to find the right place to call home, and what you need to know after you move in:

want to know if the rent includes parking or utilities, what type of lease will you be asked to sign, whether or not you can make any changes to the premises, and whether pets or smoking are allowed.

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

When meeting a landlord, try to make a good impression. Dress neatly and arrive on time. Respect the current tenant’s privacy. And make the landlord’s job easier by bringing your rental history and references, a letter from your current employer, and a cheque so you can leave a deposit in case you’re interested in the home.

If you will be viewing more than one apartment, write down the key features of each place so you can compare them later. CMHC’s Rental Unit Evaluation Worksheet can help you evaluate your options and make an informed decision.

When you rent a place, the landlord will usually ask you to sign a rental agreement, commonly known as a“lease.”Rental agreements vary from one province or territory to another, but they generally include the names of the landlord and tenant, the address of the property, the amount of the rent and what it includes, the date when the rent is due each month, the amount of any security or damage deposits, the term of the rental period, as well as things like who is responsible for maintaining the property, whether there are any restrictions on the tenant, and when and how the landlord can enter the premises.

Once you’ve signed your lease, it’s time to move in! Moving can be a hectic time. A planning checklist, such as CMHC’s Three Weeks to Moving Day, can help you keep track of all the details, and help make sure your move goes as smoothly as possible.

Before you move in, you and your landlord should inspect your new home together.

Use an Initial Inspection Worksheet to document everything you notice, so you won’t be held liable for any preexisting damage when you leave.

Once you’re living in your new home, make sure you and your landlord are clear on who is responsible for what, especially with issues such as emergency or regular repairs, rent increases, or how TheRentersGuide.ca to handle any complaints that might arise.

In the event of an emergency (such as a leaking roof or broken furnace on a cold winter day), try to contact your landlord

or emergency contact at least twice, and give them a reasonable amount of time to respond. If you can’t reach your landlord and have to authorize emergency repairs yourself, make sure to document and keep all paperwork related to the repair for later reimbursement.

If a problem arises that you can’t work out directly with your landlord, check with your provincial or territorial rental authority to find out if there are any tenant advocacy groups in your community. Do not withhold rent to pay for repairs, as this can be grounds to have you evicted.

When your lease expires, you may sign a new lease, or you might shift to a monthto-month lease. Depending on where you live, your landlord could also give notice that they will be increasing your rent. For more information on renewing a lease and rent increases, read the CMHC Provincial and Territorial Fact Sheet for your area.

Eventually, the time will come when you’re ready to end your tenancy and move out. When this time comes, you and your landlord will again inspect the property together, to see if any repairs are needed above and beyond the usual “wear and tear.”Your landlord will also

have to return any damage or security deposits you paid when you moved in, plus interest.

Remember: you may need your old landlord to give you a reference in the future. So do your best to leave under good terms. Give them the proper amount of notice in writing. Make any necessary repairs. Allow the landlord to show the home to potential new tenants.

And leave the place in as good a condition as you found it, so the next tenants will be able to enjoy their new home as much as you did.

Making winter travel plans?

Tips for snowbirds and other Travellers It’s that tIme of year agaIn, when CanadIan snowbIrds make theIr plans to spend the wInter In warmer loCales.RSA, one of Canada’s leading travel insurance providers, surveyed more than 2,400 Canadian travel consumers and discovered there are different categories of snowbirds with varying travel habits and preferences. “As our population ages, the snowbird sector has grown and diversified,” says Erin Finn, director of underwriting for RSA’s travel insurance division. “Our research has found there is noticeable variation in travel habits between different categories of snowbirds, in terms of trip lengths, frequency and destinations.” In addition to traditional snowbirds – 65-and-ups who travel longer than 30 days at a time and typically spend their winters in the common U.S. sun destinations – there is TheRentersGuide.ca also a younger segment of snowbirds emerging.

They’re Baby Boomer age, 55 to 64, and they have their own unique preferences, typically favouring trips to more exotic, overseas locations. They’re also more likely to spend their time parasailing or trekking than lying on the beach. And, they tend to travel more frequently, but take slightly shorter trips than traditional snowbirds.RSA offers some recommendations for snowbirds and others buying travel insurance: • Don’t wait until the last minute. Talk to an experienced travel insurance broker and get a policy that suits your travel needs.

• Ensure that you have adequate emergency medical insurance – up to $5 million – as well as Trip Cancellation & Interruption insurance, if you require it for your trip.

• Ensure your policy has you covered for the entire duration of your trip.

• Check to see what exclusions and limitations your policy contains. Are there conditions around your health status, the part of the world you’re visiting or the activities you’ll be doing? It’s a good idea to talk to your broker about your destination and the kinds of activities you have planned to make sure you have the right coverage.

• Ensure you have access to 24/7, worldwide telephone assistance, should you have to report a claim or require travel assistance.

• If you travel more than once a year, consider an annual plan that covers you for multiple trips.

Get the new year off to a Good start with a home insurance review after the excitement of the holidays and the exchanGe of Gifts, many people have a little break around the New Year. It’s the perfect time to review your home insurance policy and update your home inventory, especially if you’ve received expensive gifts such as jewellery, TVs or electronics this Christmas.

“Maintaining a home inventory protects you in the event of theft or damage to your home’s contents.

Having an inventory helps ensure you have the right amount of coverage and may help speed up the claims settlement process faster after a loss,” says Bill Adams, IBC Vice-President, Western & Pacific.

cauLifLower cake ottoLenghi

directions

Heat the oven to 350°F. Break the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and put them in a pot with a teaspoon of salt, cover with water and simmer for 15 minutes until quite soft. Strain, and leave in the colander for a few minutes to cool and get rid of all the water.

While the cauliflower’s cooking, prepare the batter. Halve the red onion and cut a few thin rings off the end of one side and set aside – these will go on top of the cake – coarsely chop the rest. Heat the oil in a pan and on a low heat, sauté the chopped onion and rosemary for eight minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool down. Once cool, whisk in the eggs then stir in the basil.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, turmeric, cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and many grinds of black pepper, then add it to the egg mixture, whisking thoroughly to remove any lumps.

Stir in the cauliflower very gently, so that most pieces remain whole.

i

nspired by a recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi’s food column, The New Vegetarian, in Britain’s Guardian newspaper, this spectacular dish is part of his ongoing campaign to give cauliflower some well-earned glory. Ottolenghi’s light and wonderfully flavourful Cauliflower Cake is similar to a Spanish tortilla, but what makes it unusual is the addition of almost a dozen eggs, baking powder and the quantity of flour. The finished dish is rather like a firm omelet that slices like a cake, but instead of being humdrum, as baked egg dishes can often be, the addition of a whole head of cooked cauliflower, sautéed red onion, grated parmesan cheese, ground turmeric, minced rosemary, fresh basil – and Ottolenghi’s ever-so-clever touch of baking it all in a springform pan lined with black sesame seeds – makes this a deliciously unique and completely addictive dish. Kept chilled, Ottolenghi’s saffron-hued onion-speckled Cauliflower Cake tastes even better the next day. That is, if it lasts that long!

Line the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan with parchment paper, and brush the sides generously with butter. Pour the sesame seeds into the pan and roll them around so that they stick to the sides, tipping out those that don’t adhere. Pour in the cauliflower batter, arranging the reserved onion rings on top, and bake in the center of the oven for 45 minutes, until golden brown and set.

To remove the cake, gently release the springform pan so that the seeded crust remains intact. Serve warm or at room temperature with a light salad.
