Life events get you moving The decision to move is often triggered by a life event, such as a new job or a new addition to the family, or simply because you want a change of scenery.

Whatever the reason, it’s important to address what your new needs are before you start hunting for a new place – rather than during. With all of the information available to you these days, it’s easy to get distracted.

To keep you on track and up to date on the latest listings available

across Canada, check out this issue and our website, YPNextHome.ca.

Not only will you find an easy way to connect with prospective properties, you’ll be able to dig deep on details such as such as costs, neighbourhood information and much more.

Deciding to move is easy, it’s finding the right place that can sometimes be tough. Let us help.

Drop us a line and let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Whether it’s a new job, a new school or a new adventure, there are many reasons why people move out of their city, out of their province and out of their comfort zone.

When I was 26 and freshly out of university. I wanted to explore Canada before deciding where to plant my roots. Traveling across the country was an amazing adventure.

I saw a lot and learned a lot. It opened my eyes to the difference between living in a big city versus a small town. It highlighted regional differences and made me love living in Canada even more.

If I did it now I think I’d get more out of it with the Internet and great information about different neighbourhoods. I think my travels and decisions would have been much better planned! I love the neighbourhood section on YPNextHome.ca for this reason.

And if you’re moving – out of your neighbourhood, city or province, I know you’ll find it instrumental in helping you relocate too!

Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide, and check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your NextHome!

Advice | THE RENTALIST

Battle of the

thermostat!

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

By Jackie Marchildon

THIS SUMMER WAS A HOT ONE for most, and especially so for those living without air conditioning. I broke down and bought an air conditioner last year, but I rented for years without it, and there were certainly a few rough summers in the city. In one of my homes, we avoided using the oven for most of the summer months. I never thought to question whether or not my landlord could legally let our unit reach such unbearably hot temperatures.

Now that it’s officially fall and the weather is changing, the new concern for renters is the upcoming winter season. A landlord is legally required to keep their rental unit at a habitable temperature — but that temperature varies from city to city, and has different laws attached to it.

TORONTO, ONTARIO Minimum temperature: Landlords must provide heat in a residential unit between September 15 and June 1.

The temperature during these winter months must be a minimum of 21 degrees Celsius. If the tenant controls their own heating and chooses to keep the unit under the required minimum, they are allowed to do so.

Maximum temperature: There is no bylaw that indicates a maximum temperature that rental units may reach, but in section 38 of Chapter 629 of the Toronto Municipal Code, it states that, “All air-conditioning systems shall be operated from June 2 to September 14 so as to maintain

an indoor temperature of not more than 26 degrees Celsius.” The 26-degree maximum only applies if you have air conditioning, though.

EDMONTON, ALBERTA Minimum temperature: In Edmonton, this issue falls to Environmental Public Health. Just like in Toronto, if you have control of your heating system, you can set it to whatever temperature you like. If you do not control your heat, your landlord is essentially responsible for maintaining a minimum temperature of 22 degrees Celsius from September 1 to May 1.

According to the Alberta Health Minimum Housing and Health Standards, all heating facilities must be capable of reaching and maintaining a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius. Because of this wording, a landlord could technically argue that they do not need to set the temperature to 22 degrees Celsius, but it is generally understood that it is the expected temperature.

There is an exception to this rule when it comes to certain buildings, “When the outside temperature is colder than the winter design temperature as referenced in the Alberta Building Code (97) Section 2.2.1.1 and Appendix C, then the Executive Officer may permit an indoor temperature of less than 22°C (71°F) but greater than 16°C (60°F).”

Maximum temperature: There is no maximum temperature that a

landlord must work around, but the health inspectors would look into what might be considered a habitable indoor temperature if a complaint like this were to arise.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA Minimum temperature: In Vancouver, you can turn to Standards of Maintenance By-Law No. 5462 for an answer, “Heating systems shall be maintained in a safe and good working condition so as to be capable of safely attaining and maintaining an adequate temperature standard, free from fire and accident hazards and in all residential accommodation capable of maintaining every room at a temperature of 72° Fahrenheit (22° Celsius) measured at a point five feet (1.52 m) from the floor.”

Maximum temperature: There is nothing noted about maximum heat, but if ever you felt the heat made your unit unlivable, section 32 of British Columbia’s Residential Tenancy Act does indicate that, “A landlord must provide and maintain residential property in a state of decoration and repair that complies with the health, safety and housing standards required by law.” You might be able to argue that, were you to experience intense heat, that it does not comply with the province’s health standards, but the climate in Vancouver doesn’t lend itself to that being too likely a possibility.
