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.

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

Sometimes it’s hard to decide when to move. Have you outgrown your home – is it too small, or too big? Does the neighbourhood still have everything you need – from building amenities to neighbourhood shops and services? Sometimes when you’re used to living somewhere you just make the best of what you have. But your home should be more than just making do, you should enjoy where you live. Maybe it’s time to consider what your needs are. Take a look around
and decide if you could have something that would add to your lifestyle, make you more comfortable or put you just where you want to be. Sometimes it’s fear of change, sometimes it’s just that moving can seem overwhelming, but sometimes making that move can add so much that it’s worth the effort. Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide, and check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

Advice | THE RENTALIST
How to host
a (big) holiday party in a small space By Jackie Marchildon
20
YPNEXTHOME.CA
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
WHO CARES IF YOUR HOME is small, you can still host a great, big holiday party. You just need to know how to create space where it’s limited, decorate so the smallness is forgotten and appreciate how close you are with your friends!
Tip #1: Move the furniture If you live in a one-bedroom apartment, chances are the party is happening in your living room and in your kitchen. I host an annual holiday party, and the guest list continues to grow. Every year, we move our small furniture pieces into our bedroom and leave only the couch. The couch gets pushed to the corner so that it still provides seating, but we make room for dancing. The guest list peaked at 37 people last year, so this year I plan to move the couch completely out of the living room. It’s too big to be shoved into our bedroom, but it will fit cozily in the corner of our kitchen. Open space is important, but people do like to be seated at the start of a party — especially if there is food. Nobody likes juggling a plate and a beverage. My kitchen table stays in its place, but we move the chairs to the perimeter of the living room so that people can sit before the mingling and dancing starts. Make smart furniture choices. A dog crate can easily be turned into a table by throwing a festive tablecloth
over it. I have a side table that is chair height and that can be turned into a stool. Work with what you’ve got. Tip #2: Choose your party food wisely Every party needs snacks. At my event, everyone brings something. Potluck or not, your best bet is to make food that is easy to eat without a table. Don’t make tacos, for instance. People will be picking at this food all night and you’ll be thankful when you’re throwing out napkins and toothpicks, instead of washing a full set of dishes. Choose your dishes carefully too. Do you own 40 cups? I sure don’t. Paper cups and plates will be your best friends. They make for an easy cleanup and you can buy some fun stuff to match your holiday decor. Tip #3: Decorate using your environment It’s easy to create a warm and cozy atmosphere in a small space. I have a fireplace and that helps create a nice ambiance. My neighbourhood has a few shops that sell pine mantelpieces around the holidays, and they look (and smell) great. I throw leftover pine into little bunches and leave them around the house — in little clear candle jars, on the window sills, wherever works. Lights around the windows are a must! My friends have a sunroom that
we always end up in, just off of their kitchen. One year, they cut out a bunch of snowflakes and hung them from the ceiling and it looked beautiful. So simple, but perfect for the sunroom. Nobody knows your home better than you do — decorate it as you see fit. If people are impressed with the decorations, they won’t even notice the tight quarters. Tip #4: Use your space appropriately Your space is small, but you can work around that by rearranging a few areas. Move coats from your front entrance to your bedroom — it’ll provide more space at the front door and eliminate a bottleneck as guests come and go. Open up your fire escape door, use your balcony if you have one, open your home where you normally wouldn’t. If the door is open, it’s okay — it’ll get hot in your tiny home with 40 people in it, and maybe you’ll even invite a few new friends in this way. Tip #5: Take a group photo Always take a group picture — that way you’ll remember how many people you were able to fit in your place. It will help you plan the next year because you’ll remember what did or didn’t work. Plus, it’ll provide you with a photo of what was surely a fun night. Happy holidays!

Neighbourhood Profile
Rockcliffe Park Set your sights on the good life
MORE PHOTOS AND STATS ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/rockcliffe-park
LOCATED CLOSE TO Parliament Hill and the ByWard Market, Rockcliffe Park is bordered by the Ottawa River in the north and west, the neighbourhood has a southern border that runs along Princess, Maple, Birch, St. Laurent, and Montreal Road. The historic home of Canada’s parliamentary and diplomatic heritage, Rockcliffe Park has long been the pinnacle of prestigious neighbourhoods in Ottawa. Home to every parliamentary opposition leader since 1950, this is the area that Pierre Elliott Trudeau called home while he served as prime minister. His son continued the tradition by moving
back to the neighbourhood in 2013. Home to politicians, ambassadors from 17 different countries, and two private schools, Rockcliffe Park caters to residents with discerning tastes – and the budgets to match. The neighbourhood grew after the Second World War and is set to expand again with the sale of the neighbouring Canadian Armed Forces base, CFB Rockcliffe. Developers are proposing the creation of an ecologically sustainable community that will complement the current feel of the area. Rockcliffe Park enjoys the best of what Ottawa has to offer, and plans
are underway to bring new growth in sustainable developments and stores to the area. Residents here rely on OC Transpo’s bus service, and bicycles too. With close proximity to a huge array of amenities, it makes sense. There’s quick and easy access to nature pathways along the Ottawa River, not to mention great dining options in the Byward Market. Renters can expect to pay the same for a basement or one-bedroom apartment as you would for a twobedroom elsewhere in the city. Taking into consideration that Canada’s chief representative to Queen Elizabeth would be your neighbour, Rockcliffe Park is a costly club to join. However, to gain entry there is to enjoy a place among Ottawa’s elite.
David Lindsay is a writer and full time Ottawa resident; raised and educated in the NCR (National Capital Region, to the out-of-towner). This hometown boy wants you to know that Ottawa isn’t all stuffy bureaucracy, stone capital buildings, or a hockey team allergic to the playoffs – we also value meticulous lawn-care.

Advice | APARTMENTALITY
RENTING vs OWNING
10 reasons renting is better By Anne Marshall
WHILE MANY PEOPLE idealize home ownership and cling to it as a goal, in this time of less stable employment and rising interest rates, it’s not as appealing you’d think. Especially after retirement, the “perks” of home ownership pale in comparison to the benefits of renting. If you’re thinking about making a change to your living situation, here are 10 good reasons why renting is preferable to owning your home. 1. Mobility. If employment or other life circumstances require you to move to a different city (or province), it’s a lot easier to give your landlord notice and hunt for an apartment than it would be to put your home on the market, sell it, and buy a new one.
2. Property maintenance. Whether it’s shovelling snow for 90 days straight in a heavy winter, raking autumn leaves or mowing the lawn in summer, outdoor tasks are the responsibility of your landlord, superintendent or management company, unless your lease dictates otherwise. 3. Fixture repair. When your shower stops running properly, your landlord is the one who has to call and pay for the plumber. If the fridge or stove needs replacing, that’s their financial responsibility.
4. Interest rate invulnerability. Unlike homeowners, your rent is fixed and can only increase by small increments dictated by law once the lease expires. Not so the financial market, which could see you renegotiating your mortgage every couple of years as interest rates and property values change. 5. Access to amenities. Pools, gyms, party rooms and libraries are all fairly common features of upscale modern apartment buildings. In addition, high-density housing is often situated in the heart of the city, close to entertainment and shopping, which opens up a world of possibilities for your social life.
6. No down payment. All you have to come up with to secure your apartment in Ontario is enough to cover your first and last month’s rent. Elsewhere across Canada some landlords may ask for a security deposit rather than the last month, but it will usually end up being applied that way – at any rate, deposits aren’t excessive. With the average home price in Canada now well over $400k, even a very small down payment plus legal fees, plus home inspection, plus, plus, plus – it all adds up to a big investment and a lot of money to pay out on key day.
MORE INFO ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/advice
7. Safety. Living in a rental unit typically means living near a lot of other people, and while that can occasionally be irksome, those country music fans who hold a stomping hootenanny every Saturday night are also going to hear you scream if you’re in trouble, or notice if your car hasn’t moved or your mail starts piling up. 8. Cheaper insurance. Unlike homeowners, renters do not have to insure the property – only the contents. When you get your renters insurance, expect to be paying approximately half of what you would if you owned your home. Canadian renters’ insurance averages $20 to 30 a month in most parts of the country. 9. No property taxes. While you can assume that at least some of the rent you pay goes towards covering that cost for your landlord, it isn’t your financial responsibility. Your rent remains stable and increases in a predictable fashion. 10. Lower utility costs. Heating (or cooling) a larger space than that which you actually occupy is one of the downsides of home ownership. Rental units have more compact floor plans, and in the winter you may even benefit from ambient heat from the building around you, depending on its layout.
Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up. She loves nothing more than exploring new areas, peering into other people’s apartments, houses and yards. 36
