The neighbours Living in an apartment is living in a community. There are a lot of neighbours – to the left, the right, above, below and across the hall too. The larger the apartment building, the more neighbours you’ll have. Whether it’s the pool, the elevator, the lobby or the parking garage, you’re going to interact with quite a few of the neighbours each day. Some buildings are social, with management companies fostering a sense of community through resident events, from coffee mornings and summer barbecues to holiday parties. Amenities like on-site playgrounds are great for families, where kids can play together and the parents can actually have adult conversations. Screening rooms and games rooms can also be a great way to mingle and schmooze with neighbours – what could be better than a bit of socializing without having to go out.

But there’s a fine line when you live in a community. You don’t want to be the guy on the elevator who won’t make eye contact, let alone say “Hello” – but you also don’t want to be the guy that knows everyone’s business and talks out of school about what’s going on with the couple in 3B. Remember that your home and your community are what you make of them. With a little bit of effort and interest you can enjoy the people you live with and develop meaningful relationships. Whether it’s playdates for the kids, dinner parties, or just someone who is able to water the plants when you go on vacation, it’s always nice to have a few friendly faces to come home to. When it’s time to make a move, hope this issue of Renters Guide can help. Check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

Advice | MOVING
Your new start can be someone else’s too By Chuck Resnick
MOVING TO A NEW HOME is an
exciting and stressful time. Think: a new space, a different layout, a blank canvas! But before you move into your new residence, you’ve got to move out of the old. You’ve got lots of stuff which means many boxes, which means lots of work. As they say about new beginnings: To make room for more, sometimes you’ve got to let things go. In anticipation of the move, purge your belongings. There’s value in decluttering your home before you move. The process itself forces you to itemize and organize your belongings, which is always helpful before tackling moving day. Take note of what your must haves are, what will work in your new space and what you want to leave behind. Know that when you hire a mover, you pay for space and time. Items for which you have no use or need, if packed, take up valuable space in the truck that could be used to carry something else. Also, the labour and effort of properly packing and carrying those items costs you time. Don’t pay to transport something you don’t need. Moving needn’t be expensive if you plan properly. Consumers can help subsidize the cost of hiring a professional mover by selling unwanted items like couches or furniture sets. Luckily for savvy savers, all it takes is a few keyboard clicks. In these tech-driven times. There are plenty of digital destinations that allow for easy and free advertisements. Use online classified 30
YPNEXTHOME.CA
For most, moving is an emotional time, in part because of the stress of packing but also because of the sentimentality of saying goodbye to a place they lived. websites or social media platforms to help spread the word, and watch how quickly your goods get sold. Prefer the old fashioned way? Spread the message that you’re selling some items by word-of-mouth or putting up posters in your neighbourhood or community bulletin boards. A rewarding alternative to selling your items is donating them. Find a home for those belongings by giving them to people in need. Donate your comforters and couches to your local women’s shelter. That old office desk you were going to leave behind could be someone else’s place of inspiration. That old jacket you haven’t worn in years, could keep someone else warm. Across the country there are shelters in need of donations. Other alternatives could be donating to favourite charities and local furniture banks. Give someone else a fresh start from belongings that don’t make the cut for your new space. For most, moving is an emotional time, in part because of the stress of packing but also because of the sentimentality of saying goodbye to a place in which you’ve lived and created memories. Decluttering your home before a big move is valuable. Not only does it help with packing efficiency which lends to it being financially helpful, but it also helps with the emotional stress of moving out and moving on. Decluttering helps start the process of “goodbye” to get you ready for all those “hellos” in your new neighbourhood.

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.

Advice | THE RENTALIST
Five ways to brighten up your apartment in winter By Jackie Marchildon
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
space and, again, they provide a change in decor if you’re looking for something new. Declutter your space Clutter darkens any space, so it’s especially important to keep things simple in a darker unit. Clear your counters and don’t add unnecessary furniture. A cramped space feels dark. Clean countertops and closed storage space will keep your home looking clean and it will also make it feel lighter and brighter. Plus, decluttering generally helps us feel productive. FOR SOME, THE WINTER MONTHS
can be tough to get through — it’s dark and cold, and it’s easy to feel a little lethargic. If you’re especially susceptible to feeling down during Canada’s darker months, it can be particularly hard to live in an apartment that doesn’t get much light. Basement apartents are nototrious for this. If your rental unit has been feeling a little dark these days, here are a few tricks for brightening it up! Add lighting This is an obvious one on the list, but it’s still worth mentioning. Your unit likely feels dark because you don’t have enough natural light coming in from small windows, but it’s probably also because you’re lacking in artificial light too. Oftentimes when renting, we
don’t think about changing the light fixtures in our space, but it’s an easy change and something that can make a dramatic difference — especially in a basement. Look for fixtures that require more than one bulb for added lightning. Make sure none of your current bulbs are burnt out, and have fun with this. New fixtures don’t just add light; they can also really spruce up a space. You can even accessorize by adding some new lamps or lanterns around your home. Add mirrors Mirrors give the illusion that a space is bigger. Hanging them not only helps make an area feel roomier, but because they reflect light, mirrors also essentially double the amount of light you have in your unit. They help with the stream of light in a
Paint the walls white Painting might not be something you want to take on right now, but if you feel like making a big impact, a fresh coat of white paint will easily brighten up your space — especially if your walls are currently a dark colour. Change your window coverings If you have heavy or dark drapes, curtains or blinds on your windows, consider switching them out for lighter fabrics like sheer cloth. Light-weight fabric will maximize the sunlight entering your space, and still give you the privacy you need in your home. Bright-coloured drapes can add a nice contrast to white walls too, or you can consider creating a fake window using translucent curtains over a light.
