WILLIAM’S COURT

Kanata Lakes’ luxury apartments

WILLIAM’S COURT IS THE LATEST FROM LÉPINE, one of the leading developers of luxury apartment communities in Canada. Lépine’s family business is founded on 60 years of quality construction and a traditional “owner in the store” approach. They strive to lead the way in redefining rental housing accommodation, being driven by a desire to encourage the growth of vibrant communities in which people enjoy peace of mind, true quality and room to breathe. Lépine believes that when living space is designed to reflect and connect with the beauty of the nature surrounding it, its inhabitants are likely to live happy, healthy and active lifestyles. This mantra is at the very heart of the resort-like apartment RentersGuide.ca community of William’s Court. As a result, it was recently crowned as the winner of Ontario’s 2014 Amenities Awards of Excellence. This community of six buildings surrounds four acres of courtyard gardens outfitted with a gazebo, a play structure RentersGuide.ca and fitness stations. The courtyard is seamlessly

connected to public terraces, complete with complementary barbecue facilities and easy access to an indoor salt-water pool and world-class fitness centre. Combine all this with a laid-back atmosphere that is accented by a timeless elegance and you will realize the new lease on lifestyle waiting for you at William’s Court. As you arrive at the clubhouse it is immediately obvious why these brand new apartments are being leased up almost as fast as they are being built. In a class all its own, this award-winning apartment community provides fresh new options in today’s real estate market. The modern, on-site leasing centre is open seven days a week, showcasing dozens of suite layouts, price options and lease terms. You will also be invited to climb aboard the tour cart to be chauffeured around the property to visit the 10 model suites furnished for viewing throughout the neighbourhood. There is no need to worry about the winter months, as the tour cart avoids inclement weather with ease while traveling through the interconnected climate controlled parking garage. William’s Court offers everything from the efficient unit layout you might find in a private villa to grand suite layouts that deliver the panache of the city’s finest condos – but without any ownership headaches. These apartments are pet friendly and are free from property taxes, condo fees and other hidden costs. Suites start from $1350 per month and range in size from 700 to 1750 square feet. Call the leasing centre today and be sure to ask them about their innovative “Peace Of Mind”lease.

Six steps to finding

A GREAT RENTAL WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING A GREAT RENTAL, knowing your wants and needs before you hit the streets will simplify your search. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) offers some tips to help you find the right place to call “home.” 1. IDENTIFY YOUR RENTAL NEEDS. What is your budget? Which neighbourhood do you want to live in? How many bedrooms do you need? What amenities are important to you? Make a list of your needs and preferences to help narrow down that great rental opportunity.

2. ASK QUESTIONS. Have a list of questions ready to ask the landlord. Is parking included in the cost of rent? What about utilities? Ask about the lease and terms. Be clear on any policies surrounding pets, smoking, or anything else that may affect your lifestyle.

When you find a great rental and are ready to move forward, typically you’ll sign a lease. Rental agreements vary, but they generally include the names of the landlord and tenant, the address of the property, the amount of the rent, what is included in that cost, the rent payment due date, the deposit amount paid, the term of the rental period, and details like who is responsible for upkeep. ensure all this information is outlined.

3. FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT.

6. TAKE NOTES – AGAIN.

Make a good impression when meeting with the landlord. Dress neatly and arrive on time. Make the landlord’s job easier by bringing your rental history and references, a current employment letter, and a cheque so you can leave a deposit in case you’re interested in taking the place.

Once you’ve signed your lease, it’s time to move in! But before you do, you and your landlord should inspect your new home together. Document all issues so you won’t be held liable for any preexisting damage when you leave. You can even take photos to document the condition of the unit before you move in.

RentersGuide.ca

4. TAKE NOTES. If you will be viewing more than one apartment, write down the key features of each place so you can compare them later. Better yet, use your RentersGuide.ca smartphone to snap photos for reference. 34

5. REVIEW YOUR LEASE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.

How is your

ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE YOU NEED TO TAKE THE ELEVATOR in your apartment building every day, and there are some huge pet peeves that come along for the ride. Here’s an elevator etiquette refresher. 1. EXIT THEN ENTER. Let passengers off before boarding the elevator.

2. KNOW WHEN TO TAKE THE STAIRS. One flight up or two flights down – use the stairs when able. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but it helps keep the flow on a busy elevator.

3. HOLD THE DOOR! Your neighbours will remember you watching the doors close on them – and not in a good way. Hold the door for others who are running to catch the elevator.

4. KIDS. If they’re old enough, let them push the button, but don’t let your children play with the panel or light up all floors like a Christmas tree. That’s no way to impress the neighbours or make friends.

5. KEEP YOUR GERMS TO YOURSELF. If you are sick, wait for an empty elevator. If that is truly impossible, absolutely refrain from coughing/sneezing, and otherwise sharing germs for the duration of the ride. Always sneeze or cough into your sleeve, not your hands, and RentersGuide.ca never put your germ-infested hands on the floor buttons.

6. BE NEIGHBOURLY. Generally, the people on the elevator are your RentersGuide.ca

neighbours. There’s no need for awkward silence – but there’s also no need for awkward questions. Don’t confuse friendliness and nosiness.

7. KEEP IT DOWN. If you’re listening to music, talking on the phone or chatting it up, keep the volume down so you don’t disturb other riders.

8 BE AWARE. If you’ve got a backpack or large package make sure it’s not pressing into anyone or acting like a battering ram as you turn around. And when other passengers board, move a little to give everyone some personal space. Now, enjoy the ride!

Take a tour of

THE BYWARD MARKET THE BYWARD MARKET, one of Ottawa’s oldest and largest outdoor markets, is located between Sussex Drive and Cumberland Street, and runs from Rideau Street to Cathcart Street. The ByWard Market is the only place in the city where you’re sure to find people – even at 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning! The ByWard Market is the place to be if you’re looking for constant stimulation. There is literally an electric buzz of people, music, traffic, and bicycle bells. In this area, cars are a nuisance, when you have everything you could need at your fingertips, why drive? There is a palpable pulse to the streets of The ByWard Market. During the day, vendors, local farmers and artists set up shop throughout the area. At every corner, there are musicians, actors, and performers of all kinds sharing their talent with the public. People of every lifestyle, income, and age share this small neighbourhood and make it their own. Because of proximity to the University of Ottawa, the Market is the central gathering ground for students and professors. Greenspaces filled with study groups or artists painting the scenery are a common sight. Surrounding Federal buildings fill local bars and restaurants, suits toting briefcases rub elbows with the local artists and merchants. There is no other area in Ottawa where you will find over 50 restaurants ranging from pub food, to vegan raw, to high-class steak houses. Within RentersGuide.ca blocks you’ll find museums, churches, schools, groceries, and the Rideau Centre which has all the stores you could possibly need. There is an off leash dog park, plenty of grass to sunbath, the Ottawa River for scenic walks, and the many bike paths for jogging. RentersGuide.ca

The ByWard Market appeals to a range of residents, from the student who lives on a budget, to the six-figure-income professional with disposable dough. In The ByWard Market, you can find anything from a hotdog street stand to the best five-star restaurant The area is convenient - Highway 417 is within a kilometer, offering quick access to the city. There are two bridges leading to the Outaouais and its many scenic bike paths and hiking trails. For those without a vehicle, the transitway is within blocks and has a heavy flow of buses at all hours. As a bonus, the city is currently building the new light rail train (LRT) which will go through downtown. A final note on the neighbourhood, The ByWard Market is noisy, busy and congested. A popular truck route travels through the downtown core, creating heavy traffic, noise, and dangers to pedestrians and bikers. Needless to say, if you’re looking for a quiet oasis, this is not the place for you. The good? You can’t beat the energy on the streets. There is a constant buzz and it’s contagious and invigorating!
