Life at the top The penthouse.

While rental living isn’t always considered glamourous, the penthouse has always had a special cachet. There is prestige in living in the penthouse, an air of luxury – that you’re living lofty as a renter.

Penthouse suites are often bigger, with spectacular views. Some buildings utilize the penthouse level like mansions in the sky. They may even have restricted elevator access. There’s nobody above, so no concerns about shade on their balcony and no noisy neighbours footsteps to hear.

Some buildings even embrace the idea of Penthouse I and Penthouse II. Two floors. A sub penthouse. These buildings reserve the top two floors, referring to two penthouse levels.

It creates additional suites with that exclusivity of the penthouse cachet.

Rental living isn’t always considered prestigious, but today’s rental market

+ get social 14

YPNEXTHOME.CA

is certainly growing up – penthouses and beyond.

Real estate prices are continuing to escalate and renting is becoming more desirable because it is the ideal way to live in a neighbourhood for which ownership is out of reach.

With market rent continuing to rise, management understands that there must be value for the rental dollar and with the revenue stream, many older buildings are being renovated and revitalized – either on a large scale or suite-by-suite, as tenants turn over.

While the penthouse will always own the title of prestigious, renting is quickly becoming the preference, especially for those that prioritize location over other considerations.

Advice | THE RENTALIST

The best non-reno renos for your rental unit

By Jackie Marchildon AS A RENTER, YOU’VE LIKELY HAD a moment or two when you wished you could make a big change to your rental unit — the countertops, the flooring — or, on a bad day, everything. But you also know you can’t make drastic changes, and you probably don’t really want to invest that much time and money into it.

Luckily, there are a number 30

of options for renters that can help make big changes without the headache (and illegality) of renovating a rental.

Use contact paper Generic countertops are a staple in rental units but they are easy to change without renovations.

Contact paper comes in all kinds of

You can change your counters or even add a backsplash without painting or breaking the bank.

Painting can be a pain, but it can have dramatic effects on a space. To mimic the look of a chair rail, paint two-tone walls — use a dark colour in the upper area and a lighter one in the lower section. kitchen cupboards, for example, you create a bright, open-concept look.

For an even richer effect, you can paint the insides of the cupboards or use contact paper to liven it all up.

colours and designs and applying it can make a huge difference in the kitchen. You can change your counters or even add a backsplash without painting or breaking the bank.

Remove cupboard doors Most of the time we think we need to add things to make a big difference, but that’s not always true.

If you remove the doors of your

Change light fixtures and switches Replacing boring light fixtures with new distinctive ones like chandeliers or pendant lamps can really alter the look of your unit. If your home feels dark, this helps in the obvious way of brightening the space up, but it also helps a rental feel more unique.

Check with your landlord before you play with anything electrical and you need to hire a professional. You can also change your light switch plates.

Replace the dull plastic ones with something fancy like gold or brightcoloured plates to create little pops of colour throughout your home.

Paint and hang mirrors Painting can be a pain, but it can have dramatic effects on a space. To mimic the look of a chair rail, paint two-tone walls — use a dark colour in the upper area and a lighter one in the lower section. If your wish is for spaciousness, paint a light colour and hang mirrors. Incorporating mirrors into your decor helps lighten up a

space and they tend to look nice too.

Invest in a portable dishwasher and/or an island In spirit of creating more space (and keeping you sane if you feel like you’re always doing dishes), buy a portable dishwasher. Not only will it save you hours of dishwashing time, it’ll give you more counterspace! If you already have a dishwasher, and simply crave more counters, buy an island — it works as storage, a counter and a table.

Add smart storage If you wish you could build more closets in your house (or build a garage), find unique ways to store stuff. Ceiling hooks are a great way to hang big items like bikes and shelves can double as storage and decor.

Change the hardware A new showerhead can make a huge difference in the bathroom.

If you buy the right one, it’ll make you feel like you’ve renovated your shower and it’ll look nice and shiny. While you’re at it, see if you can change up your faucets and little drawer knobs too. These little changes yield big results.

SANDY HILL, one of Ottawa’s oldest

suburbs, is bordered by the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River, with Rideau Street and the Byward Market area to the north, and Hwy 417 to the south. This expansive neighbourhood is best known for its proximity to the University of Ottawa as well as its many steep hills – which make walking around this neighbourhood a workout!

Sandy Hill is a neighbourhood where you will quickly begin to recognize faces, where neighbours watch out for one another, and where people are found to bike or walk most of the time.

This area was once one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Ottawa, and still boasts expansive mansions, but now they’re primarily home to university students. The further you get from campus, the more common it is to find more young families, older couples, and large embassies.

Shops and restaurants are aimed at students needs. Coffee here is cheap, and not surprisingly, the beer is even cheaper! Affluent residents won’t be found biting into a burger at the local Royal Oak. Highway 417 is within blocks offering quick and easy access to the rest of the city. There is a bus

route that travels throughout the neighbourhood. You can hop on at one end of Sandy Hill, take the bus up the large hill on Somerset St., and then hop off at the top. Perfect for all us lazy folks too sleepy in the morning to climb that hill!

This area is full of mature trees, steps from the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River, and the homes are historic, the streets quaint. What more could you ask for?

Lindsay Foran has lived in the Ottawa/Gatineau area her whole life. When she’s not touring the city in search of the hottest new neighbourhoods she’s busy writing fiction and enjoying life with her husband and two dogs. lindsay_foran01@hotmail.com

Advice | RENTERS’ HELP

Five things every renter should do

By Elisa Krovblit YOU’RE A RENTER AND you appreciate the lifestyle. Ask any homeowner who has received an unexpected roof repair bill, or had to call a plumber or had to move to accept a job offer - and you’ll appreciate it even more – especially all of you “all inclusive” renters. Have you heard the news about hydro prices these days? Or do you enjoy your luxury of not having to pay attention to that issue.

But rental living has a few demands that can be easily met by every resident, ensuring that their rental experience should be nothing but maintenance-free and smooth sailing.

1. Understand your lease

You signed it and you’re bound by it. Whenever you’re about to sign a contract – and yes, your lease is a legally binding contract – read it and make sure you understand it. If there is anything you don’t agree with, ask.

If there is any wrong info, have it corrected. Leases can be negotiated, changed and rewritten. Once it’s signed, those are the rules.

2. Know your rights

Each province and territory has its own set of rental rules and there will be a landlord and tenant board or government office that enforces them. Know how to access them and understand the basics. If anything in your lease contradicts the rental law, the rental law overrules. If you have issues during your tenancy, these are a great place to start to find out what your rights are and how to resolve them. You’ll also need to know how your deposits work and how to give proper notice. If you do that wrong you might find yourself on the hook for a lot of money you weren’t expecting to spend.

3. Rental insurance

A lot of renters are under the misinformed impression that the 38

YPNEXTHOME.CA

landlord has you covered. The landlord has insurance, but it’s coverage for the building – literally the structure, mechanicals and the common areas. You need tenant’s insurance to cover your personal belongings. Imagine if you had to replace everything you own at once. Clothes, furniture, electronics, kitchenware etc. Imagine a pipe bursts and destroys much of what’s in its path. And it’s not just property loss or damage, if there is a fire and you’re displaced, your insurance will help cover that. If a visitor has an accident in your premises, insurance foots the lawsuit bill. Rental insurance is quite inexpensive. Many leases stipulate you must have it, but even if it’s not mandatory, it’s not a good idea to skip it.

4. Check your credit

If you’re thinking about moving – now or in the future – keep an eye on your credit. You’re going to have a bit of trouble moving with bad credit since most landlords now do a

credit check as part of the application process. If you pay bills late, try to break the habit. See what’s on your credit report and try working to repair it. Plus, sometimes mistakes get made. You don’t want a mistake to cost you a rental opportunity – or any opportunity for that matter!

5. Laundry

In-suite laundry is becoming much more common, especially in upscale, newly renovated or new buildings.

But if you don’t have it in your suite, make sure you’re laundry-room ready. Get a bundle buggy or laundry cart to store your soap and make transporting loads to and from the laundry room much easier. (Bundle buggies are great for taking stuff to and from the car too). Keep a stock of supplies and get into the habit of reloading your card or replenishing your stash of quarters after each laundry day. That way you’re not scrounging and scrambling if you need to do an emergency load or want a last-minute outfit.
