here’s nothing like your first apartment. It changes you, allows you to grow, and actually teaches you a lot about yourself. In my second year at university I opted to move out of the comforts of home and try life on my own. The commute was killing me and the freedom and independence seemed quite attractive. It was exciting to book viewings, talk to landlords and sign my first lease. I found a third-storey walk-up right in the heart of the city. That the building was painted purple may have played a small part in my decision, but ultimately, the ‘junior-one-bedroom’ fit me to a tee. I had an ensuite bathroom, a large eat-in kitchen and a completely enclosed bedroom. The large room doubled as my sitting room when I converted my futon frame into couch mode. And the deck was massive! The one thing I didn’t know when I took the apartment was that I would hate living alone. I thought that my cat and I would revel in the privacy. But in reality I found myself lonely. I hated that nobody would walk through the door unless I invited them. I hated that there was nobody to chat with over dinner and I really hated that there was nobody to help with bills! It’s interesting what you learn about yourself those first years on your own. In fact, as life changes your needs can change – and the amazing thing about renting is that it’s easy to change your home to suit your needs. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect apartment – even if it’s your first! Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

DON’T BE AFRAID to ask for help with personal finances
MANY CANADIANS DON’T THINK TWICE before seeking the advice and guidance of a trained expert. When our cars make an odd noise, we take them to the mechanic. When we’re not feeling well, we make an appointment to see our family doctor. And while the ultimate role of managing your fi nances rests on your shoulders, seeking the advice of a professional fi nancial planner can help you make the most of your investments.
BMO Bank of Montreal offers the following tips when searching for a qualified fi nancial planner: Meet face-to-face Meeting with a fi nancial planner face-to-face gives you the opportunity to gauge whether his or her personality is a good fit with yours. Be sure to learn about their years of experience and their area of expertise. If you’re not sure where to start your search for a potential fi nancial planner, visit your local bank branch. They have fi nancial planners available to help you at no cost. Play 20 questions Your first meeting with a financial planner should be filled with questions. They should be getting to know you, your financial situation and your financial goals just as much as you are getting to know them. Re-evaluate Once you have selected a fi nancial planner, be sure to regularly reassess your relationship and your fi nancial plan. As your life and fi nancial situation changes, so too should your plan and investing strategy.
Getting solid and tailored fi nancial advice shouldn’t be expensive. At BMO Bank of Montreal, working with a qualified and professional fi nancial planner is free of charge. NC

how to trick yourself
into saving money
S
kip the latte. Bring your lunch. We have all heard the examples of how to save money by cutting back on discretionary spending. They’re all good ideas, but even with the best of intentions, some people have trouble controlling the impulse purchases. If it’s tough to muster up the self-control not to spend when you have money in your account, trick yourself into thinking you don’t have the money to spend. “If you have trouble saving because you’re a chronic spender, make your savings automatic,”says Raymond Chun, a senior vice president at TD Canada Trust.“When you transfer small amounts to your savings account regularly, you may not even notice a difference in the money you have to spend day-to-day, but will see a big difference as you watch your savings grow.”
Chun offers his adviCe on how Canadians Can “triCk themselves” into saving: » save it before you see it: A pre-authorized transfer of a portion of your paycheque into a tax free savings account (TFSA) or to another high-interest savings account will help you put money aside before you see it or get a chance to spend it. » save every time you spend: Some banks offer programs that allow you to automatically transfer a small pre-set amount into you savings account with each debit purchase or ATM withdrawal. That means every time you buy your groceries or pay for gas, you could be saving without even trying. » know what you can spend: You should aim to save at least 10 per cent of your pre-tax income. So, once you have automated your savings and covered bills and other financial obligations, you can treat yourself with the knowledge that you are responsibly setting aside money for the future. Watch your account balance carefully, especially in the first few months of the automatic transfers, to make sure you don’t spend more than is available. NC

EAA DirEctor Lynn HAmiLton riDing tHE mongoL DErby!
The world’s longest – and most difficult – horse race, and Hamilton’s taking part to raise money and awareness for Type 1 Diabetes Lynn HamiLton is saddLing up. Director of the Edmonton Apartment Association and owner of Beacon Hill Properties, Hamilton is currently in Mongolia risking life and limb on the ride of her life. She will ride 10 hours a day across Mongolia, 1,000 kilometres through desert, marsh, salt flats and grass – with only five kilos of provisions. She’ll eat and rest with the nomads. She’ll be on semi-wild Mongolian horses, horses that may never have carried a rider before! She’s taken on the challenge in support of Type 1 Diabetes and is raising money and awareness for the cause with each gallop. The Mongol Derby is no simple summer vacation. It’s touted as the toughest horse race in the world. According to the Guinness World Records, The Mongol Derby officially became the world’s longest horse race on August 17, 2010 in Binder, Mongolia, with a length of 833.2 kms. On The Adventurists’ website (theadventurists.com/the-adventures/mongol-derby) the race is described: “It’s the Khaan’s mother of equine adventures, a 1,000-km multi-horse race across the epic wilderness of the Mongolian steppe. The mammoth network of horse stations is a recreation of Chinggis Khaan’s legendary empire-busting postal system.”The Adventurists, as the website goes on to explain, are “run by The League of Adventurists International Ltd., a UK-based company not just hell bent on fighting to make the world less boring, but also raising massive buckets of cash for charities. We figure since we are rather fond of adventuring in the world we should do our bit to look after it.” The Mongol Derby makes no bones about the risks, and the disclaimer on the website includes: •
The nature of the Mongol Derby means that if you do fall off, the response time of the medical team is going to depend on where you are and if you have been able to activate your emergency beacon. If you are seriously injured you may be TheRentersGuide.ca hundreds of miles from the nearest hospital. • Every selected rider will have to sign a legally binding rider agreement, in which they will recognize the inherent dangers of taking part in the Mongol Derby. • The Mongol Derby is an extremely physically demanding and dangerous race. This really is the toughest horse race in the world and that is a title it holds for good reason. TheRentersGuide.ca
Hamilton, aka Adventure Girl, is up for the challenge. Hamilton has committed her time and horsemanship to riding in The Mongol Derby, and is championing a good cause – awareness and fundraising for research and the fight against Type 1 Diabetes.

Packing uP for the move
by dan hopkins
Moving hoMes can feel like an overwhelming task. But with a few deep breaths and these packing tips, you can conquer the move without losing your mind.
Before packing You want to reserve your movers or moving company at least eight weeks prior to your move during busy periods. Once you have your movers selected, you can start to pack up your belongings in anticipation of their arrival. Some moving companies will even pack for you, simplifying and streamlining the moving process.
dishware like fine china, or small appliances that go unused on a daily basis, carefully pack them away a few weeks before the move. Make sure to use packing paper or bubble wrap to protect fragile belongings – newsprint from newspapers used to wrap items can be messy to clean up. Keep a record of what goes into which box. keep packing If you stand back and look at everything you need to pack, you’ll be overwhelmed. Just start packing. If you start early enough, you can break up the packing process into a more gradual and less stressful experience. Save the items that you use daily to pack last and make sure to label each box.
start packing Once you have determined your
moving date, start packing. Box up belongings that you don’t use often and store them somewhere out of the way. If you have kitchen supplies, occasional PAGE 28 • Tell Them You Saw It In The “Renters Guide”

7 steps to
de-cluttering for a move by Hellen Buttigieg Moving is rigHt at tHe top of tHe list of most
people’s stressful situations. But a little organization goes a long way in alleviating the stress and making the move go smoothly. I’m happy to share some simple steps that will help you de-clutter your current home so you can enjoy your new home with a clean slate: 1. Start now: Our tendency is to put it off until packing time, but most people are in a time crunch at that point, and will often put things in a box to deal with ‘later’. Remember that you are paying for each item you move, not only in the time it takes to pack and unpack it, but also by the space it takes up in the moving truck. Why pay to move something you don’t really need? You’ll be busy when you move into your new home, and will probably put off going through those ‘deal with them later’ boxes indefinitely; believe me, when I work with clients, I come across unpacked boxes that have been sitting in the basement or garage for several years after a move. 2. Pictures: Take pictures of all the large items you know will not work or fit in your next home and post them on one of the resale sites online, like Kijiji, Craigslist or Ebay. You can put the extra money you earn towards your moving expenses and perhaps some pieces that fit the new place much better than your old stuff. And the nice thing about photographing them in the first place is that, if you have any sentimental attachment to the items you are selling, you can always use the pictures to trigger the memories. 3. The no-brainers: Go through your house one room at a time and get rid of the no-brainers first. No-brainers are items you don’t have to think twice about letting go of, like torn towels, chipped plates and broken electronics (if you haven’t fixed them by now, trust me, you probably never will). Do this every day, even if it’s just for just 15 minutes, until the task is complete. This is a great way to warm up your de-cluttering muscles and will give you an immediate sense of accomplishment and motivate you to tackle the tougher stuff.
Could a local women’s shelter make better use of the clothes you never wear? Find the closest drop-off location where your unused electronics can be reused or recycled safely (do an online search – there are hundreds of locations). 5. Fight the ‘what if I need it someday’ fear: If you haven’t used it in a year, chances are you never will. For example, we wear only 20 per cent of our clothes 80 per cent of the time. If in doubt, toss it out (or donate/sell it). On the offchance you do need it months from now, you can always replace it, but chances are you’ll never look back. If you keep everything because of this fear, it will probably cost you much more in time, money and stress than it would to replace it. 6. Be prepared: Set up your supplies in advance. For the de-cluttering process, you will need bins, sticky notes (for labeling) and garbage bags. Use bins to do the initial sort; label them ‘donate’, ‘sell’, ‘recycle,’ ‘toss’ and ‘keep’. When the bins get full, transfer the contents into bags. Use clear bags for items that will be donated and opaque bags for garbage, so there’s no confusion. Arrange for a charity to come and pick up the donations or drop them off yourself before the end of the week (you can always go back again as you accumulate more items to donate). Give yourself a deadline on the ‘sell’ items and have a plan for the items that don’t sell (i.e. donate). Transfer the ‘keep’ items directly into the moving boxes. 7. Get the whole family involved: Everyone should make decisions on their own things, when it comes to determining what to keep and what to let go of. But a little competition never hurt, so make a game of the de-cluttering process. Set a timer, give everyone a bin, and put some up-beat music on to make it fun. Choose a token prize for the winner who got rid of the most items and a reward for the entire family for the effort each member put in.
TheRentersGuide.ca
4. Research: Do some research ahead of time and decide where you will take your discarded items. Although some things will be garbage, most items can be donated or recycled. You will be motivated to let go of more things if you know they will be going to a cause that you believe in TheRentersGuide.ca or disposed of in a way that doesn’t hurt the environment.

Elevator
Etiquette
By Jane Herman
TheRentersGuide.ca
If you live in a highrise building, the elevator is the principal way in and out of your apartment, a confined space in which you briefly encounter your neighbours several times daily. The natural instinct is to be uncommunicative and absorbed in your own headspace: preoccupied with where you’re headed, and keeping strangers at a distance. And yet, the other occupants of the elevator, unfamiliar as they may be, deserve a TheRentersGuide.ca modicum of courtesy.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca
Unfortunately, most people have forgotten how to be courteous. Most elevator etiquette is just that – being courteous. If you need some specifics, the following should help:
1 2
Allow passengers to exit before attempting to board the elevator.
3
Hold the door for others who are running to catch the elevator – especially your neighbours coming from down the hall. A plague on anyone who watches the door slide shut in someone’s face!
4 5
Take the stairs if you are only going one or two floors, except if the elevator is empty or you have a cart, stroller, large packages or are disabled.
While holding the doors briefly is a must, do not hold the door indefinitely and delay travel for other passengers. Please be considerate of others. If you are sick, wait for an empty elevator. If that is truly impossible, absolutely refrain from coughing/ sneezing, etc., for the duration of the ride. Always sneeze or cough into your sleeve, not your hands, and never put your germ-infested hands on the floor buttons.
6
If you are on the elevator first or closest to the control panel, ask other riders what floor they would like. On the other hand, it is somewhat rude to call out your floor to the person standing nearest the buttons as if that person is the TheRentersGuide.ca elevator operator. If there is space to do so, press the button yourself.
7
There’s a certain amount of discomfort when several strangers enter the elevator together. Typically, women like to feel safe and give a quick glance around to “size up” who is in the elevator. Don’t be afraid to say “good morning” or “hello” and make eye contact with other passengers.
8 9
When other passengers board, move a little to give everyone some personal space.
10 11 12
Likewise, if you’re listening to your iPod, turn the volume down so you don’t disturb other riders.
Try to avoid carrying out interpersonal conversations, be they face-to-face or – particularly – talking on your cellphone (especially in a loud voice). The elevator is not a phone booth.
If you’re carrying a backpack, make sure it doesn’t land in someone’s face when you turn around. Never drop litter or deface the walls of the elevator with anything sharp. Vandalism hurts everyone.
Riding in an elevator can bring out the best or the worst in people. Think of the elevator as an extension of the building’s lobby, and of other riders as your guests. Now, enjoy the ride!

entertaining
dinner parties made easy Let’s face it – all hosts want to get rave reviews from their guests. But cooking to impress can be a stressful experience. World-renowned chef Marco Pierre White shares his top tips to keep your dinner parties as streamlined as possible: All menus are about balance. Create a balance of textures, temperatures, colours and flavours. If you’re going to make the main course the standout course, go easy on yourself by serving a cold starter and simple ice cream or sorbet for the other courses. Fruit and a cheese plate make the perfect finishing touch. Don’t be afraid of buying in – just as they do in France and Italy sometimes. Charcuterie, smoked salmon, great bread or a fine apple tart are always impressive. It’s okay to get some help! Save time with stock. Many products can help you save time in the kitchen without pushing taste and value to the back burner. New Knorr Homestyle Stock uses
carefully selected ingredients and melts instantly into hot dishes for added flavour, or can be diluted for a hearty broth to create delicious meal options quickly and easily. Serve vegetables and side dishes ‘family style’ rather than struggling against the clock to plate all the components like a professional. Keep it simple. If you’re relaxed, your guests will be too. That’s the secret. NC

Transform a room inexpensively with paint
T
he experts at Benjamin Moore suggest it’s time to refresh our homes with paint. Sharon Grech, the company’s colour and design expert explains how transforming the look with paint is a budget friendly way to update an interior:
1) “Paint has such transformative power,” she begins.“With a bit of planning and some elbow grease it can completely update a room’s look without breaking the bank. You might not change your paint colour every season, but if you’re influenced by spring, look at fresh, soft colours like Hidden Cove or Sweet Cream. Both are easily accented by fashion forward pastels like Sagebrush or Lime Sherbet.”
TheRentersGuide.ca
3) De-clutter. Get rid of the items that are weighing the space down. Collect books and other odds and ends lying around the apartment. Organize all these items in collections that work together in the room. Keep half of everything and TheRentersGuide.ca let friends and family treasure hunt through the rest.
TheRentersGuide.ca
More advice on this topic can be found online at BenjaminMoore.ca or by visiting a local retailer. NC
2) Who doesn’t love beautiful art for the walls? Big, beautiful pieces can make a huge impact, but can also be costly. A great alternative is to hang a mirror with a stylish frame. A mirror can fill the wall with a decorative accent while reflecting light and opening up the space. It’s a designer trick that’s been used for years and doesn’t cost a fortune.
