he moment you move into an apartment from a reliable property management company, you will be able to enjoy a number of benefits. One cheque basically takes care of it all.
As you know, one of the biggest things to consider when renting is your choice of location. Unlike furniture, paint and being a good neighbour, it’s the one thing that you cannot change, so it’s important to choose well.
What are the other critical things to consider when choosing a location? There are so many personal variables, it’s really up to you to decide. As an example, if it is just as important to you to be close to your children’s school as it is to your place of work, then look for a place that offers you the best of both worlds. If you aren’t keen on owning a car and want to use public transportation whenever possible to save on parking and gas costs, a well-connected mass transit location may be a better option for you. If you’re a walker, close proximity to major amenities should be a definite consideration. Doing errands such as grocery shopping and banking on foot not only offers many health benefits, it gives you a chance to meet new neighbours and discover new places too. Don’t let the cost of rent solely dictate your choice of location. Make a list of your priorities first, and then take the time to assess each location for its merits and weight your options.

haven’t moved in about five years now, but my husband and I have both moved numerous times. We’ve both experienced moving from one province to another. We both had our fair share of room mates. We both lived in our own apartments before we met. When the time came to move in together 10 years ago, we faced that big dillemma: whose apartment? It was actually an easy decision. I loved his building, but we decided to move into a new apartment within the building so that it would be “Our First Place.” Looking back, it was the right move for us. We’ve moved twice since Our First Place – once to accommodate our growing family, and the second when we realized we needed to choose a family-friendly community to raise our kids. Our preferred community was the right fit while we were young socialites, but we wanted to trade the nightlife and stylish boutiques for playgrounds, daycare and a good school. Needs change, people change and, luckily, apartments change. Real estate can be a tricky thing and it’s hard to focus on our personal needs. We were happy to rent apartments because we knew there would be change. We weren’t ready to invest in real estate and, had we bought and sold those many times leading up to our current home, we would have gone through serious expense and not enjoyed the benefit of selection that we had in our various apartments. Renting is an amazing opportunity. It has many lifestyle benefits and offered us a lot of freedom. That next apartment is the next step, what new opportunities will it bring? We’re here to help you find out. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

TOP 10 TIPS FOR
MOVING WITH DOGS Advice for dog owners, when preparing for an upcoming move BY CHUCK RESNICK
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 18
renter’shelp
Moving can be one of the most stressful events in life, so why should that be any different for your dog?
HERE ARE 10 TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE YOUR DOG:
1
Under no circumstances should you place your dog in the back of a moving truck. Even safely tucked in a well-ventilated pet travel carrier, the truck is almost always hot (even in winter) and of course, the doors are closed.
2
Your dog will most likely want to play with the movers and probably everyone else, so take him/her to a kennel, dog spa or have a friend or relative dogsit at their home, before the movers arrive. Those will be the best places for your furry friend; then you can devote your total attention to your moving activities.
3
If your dog must be with you during your move, keep your loved one outside or out of the movers’ way. Dogs crave the attention of strangers and can create obstacles which will impede the move.
4 5 6
Have dog treats on hand for move day to keep your dog quiet. It’s also good way to get your dog to listen and obey. And, it’s a great idea to have water and nutritious human treats for your movers as well. Pack a separate box of your dog’s favourite toys. Once at your new home, your dog may be frightened of the new surroundings, so, having familiar playthings ready will reduce stress levels. Don’t forget that your dog will be excited on move day and will need plenty of water. Exercise is the best way to get your dog ready, more relaxed and calm for when the movers arrive. Depending on your dog’s age and size, draining your dog’s energy level may not be easy, so plan frequent walks. I know that a 30-minute walk barely makes a dent in our dog’s energy level.
7
Make sure you let your pet out for “mess” breaks. Nothing will ruin your moving day experience more TheRentersGuide.ca than a ‘surprise’ from your dog inside your new abode. Remember to clean up after your dog to avoid making a bad first impression on your neighbours.
8
If your dog will be around during the move, let your movers know ahead of time. You’d be surprised how many men are afraid of dogs. Whether large or small animals, it doesn’t matter. Also, there are movers that are allergic to dogs.
9
After the move you will be busy unpacking, so don’t ignore your dog. Take regular and long walks, if you can, to explore your new neighbourhood together or even short breaks from unpacking, to play. Time together will help your dog be better behaved during this change in everyone’s environment.
10
Have fun – moving into new digs is a time to celebrate. Have the movers take a picture…you, your family and your dog in your new home. What a perfect reminder of the day you just shared.

ACCOUNTABILITY
benefits tenants and owners
BY TED WHITEHEAD
WHEN THE FEDERATION OF RENTAL-HOUSING PROVIDERS OF ONTARIO (FRPO) CREATED THE CERTIFIED RENTAL BUILDING PROGRAM (CRBP) to improve the quality of life of apartment dwellers and staff in the province, we knew that accountability was a key factor in the program’s effectiveness for everyone involved. To ensure objectivity and reporting of the finest quality, we enlisted J.D. Power and Associates to conduct all the building audits for participating firms. Established in 1968, that well-respected third-party independent performance measurement firm conducts unbiased surveys of customer satisfaction, product quality and buyer behaviour in a number of major industries. The Building Audit component of the CRBP helps to ensure that the property managers and owners of certified buildings are conducting their dayto-day business with good practices and processes in place. In addition it TheRentersGuide.ca confirms they are in full compliance with the program’s requirements and Standards of Practice. “This is a measurable way to for us to prove that we operate a well-run TheRentersGuide.ca
apartment building,” says Michael Capone, Property Manager for Hollyburn Group of Companies.“The fact that the audits are done by an independent firm should instil even more confidence in potential tenants looking to rent at CRBP-certified residences.” J.D. Power and Associates uses four methods to verify compliance during the CRBP audit process. t 'JSTU UIFJS SFQSFTFOUBUJWFT DPOEVDU in-depth interviews with building managers and employees about how they perform their jobs looking for tangible evidence where appropriate. t 5IF TFDPOE NFUIPE JOWPMWFT BVEJUPST looking at the building in person and noting physical features and characteristics. t 5IJSE EPDVNFOUT BOE SFDPSET BSF thoroughly examined to ensure that evidence is reviewed to ensure the policies, processes, and procedures are being followed as set out in the program’s requirements and Standards of Practice.
or community into compliance. Only when buildings prove to be in complete compliance with the CRBP’s Standards of Practice, the auditor recommends DFSUJmDBUJPO UP '310 T %JSFDUPS PG Certification. He prepares and forwards the appropriate documents, including a copy of the audit report, for review and final approval by the program’s Governance Committee. Property managers or owners who enroll their buildings in the CRBP exhibit an important sign of leadership and respect for quality assurance for rental housing consumers. Going the extra mile to provide their residents with the CRBP’s quality assurance “seal of approval” demonstrates their commitment to providing a quality product and quality service '310 JT 0OUBSJP T MFBEJOH BEWPDBUF for quality rental housing. The CRBP is a win-win initiative that benefits landlords/property managers and tenants alike. To learn more, visit www. crbprogram.org.
t 'JOBMMZ NBOBHFST BOE PXOFST BSF tested on what they would do in simulated situations they might face while fulfilling their duties. If the building(s) is not in full compliance with the programs requirements, the report will identify the areas that need to be addressed through a Gap Analysis segment. The auditor will review the report with the owner or manager, and suggest steps to bring the building

DECORATING KIDS’ ROOMS IS CHILD’S PLAY WITH THESE FIVE TIPS Choice of colour can make or break a décor project, according to DULUX Paint SENDING YOUR KIDS TO THEIR ROOMS FOR A TIMEOUT may take on a whole new meaning after a paint renovation. If the walls sport the right colours, a child may just want to stay there. “Colours can have a tremendous effect on the mood and well-being of children, so it’s important to do your research before tackling a décor project for a kid’s room,” said Martin Tustin-Fuchs, brand manager of DULUX paint, a brand of PPG Architectural Coatings. Bright red, he said, is known to energize and stimulate, but may interfere with a restful sleep. Cooler shades like blue, according to Tustin-Fuchs, have a calming, serene effect. Pastel hues are also known to be soothing, he said, while bright, bold tones can promote a sense of playfulness.
Bold colours, such as Indigo Sea (90BG 14/337) blue by DULUX, painted on the accent wall of this bedroom, are a good choice for kids’ rooms as they can suit the tastes of a toddler through to a young adult.
Tustin-Fuchs said a number of colour trends are currently popular for kids’ rooms, including cheery citrus hues like lemon and lime that add fun pops of colour on focal walls or furniture; complementary colour combinations such as lavender mixed with soft green; and warm grey tones paired with creamy white or muted green, yellow, orange or purple. Classic black and white is also in vogue and can act as a clean backdrop for a room filled with bright accessories, painted furniture, and decorative bedding and window treatments.
TheRentersGuide.ca Popular 2014 kids’ rooms colours from DULUX paint include citrus tones Daisy Chain (45YY 79/376) yellow and Limelight (90YY 58/424) green; pastels Smooth Grape (30RB 53/117) violet, Winter Mauve (70RR 57/070) pink, and Indigo Sea (90BG 14/337) blue; Lilac Splendor (90BB 26/227) purple combined with Spring Willow (70YY 66/265) green; Whiter Shade (50YR 62/008) grey; and Noble Grey (30BB 10/019) black.

“Trends can provide great decorating insight and ideas,” Tustin-Fuchs said. ”It’s important to recognize, though, that trends come and go, so plan for the long term and opt for colours that best suit your child’s personality.” He offers these five fail-proof tips for a child’s room makeover: Involve the kids. They’re going to spend a lot of time inTheRentersGuide.ca the space, so make sure your kids are consulted on the décor. When kids take ownership of a project, they value the outcome that much more.
TheRentersGuide.ca
Ask them what colours they want for their rooms, or have them choose their own bedding and work around that colour scheme. Browse magazines and online websites together to get a sense of your children’s taste and preferences. Once the job is done, reserve a space on the wall for your kids to “sign” their work with handprints. Plan for growth. Kids grow up pretty quickly, so ensure the colours you choose can mature with them. Bright pink may be your child’s favourite colour today, but for a longer-term investment, try settling on dusty rose, which can be adapted for a teen simply by changing the room’s accessories. Pastel hues from any colour family transition well as a child grows and tastes change. Similarly, bolder colours, like royal blue and violet, can suit the tastes of a toddler through to a young adult. See it their way. Get down on your knees and look at the space from your children’s perspective. Consider creating a more livable environment by painting a focal wall with a mural, like a jungle scene, to ensure the room is a desired place to hang out and play. Or, paint only part of the wall with a whimsical design. That one wall can easily be repainted later on. Affix stars or other fun designs to the ceiling and the kids will actually look forward to bedtime. Glue small toys or puzzle pieces on photo frames, mirrors, curtain rods and lamp tops to add extra appeal.
Create a more livable environment in your child’s room with whimsical designs, such as this image of a wardrobe painted on the wall using Poinsettia (05YR 15/555) red by DULUX paint.
Think “off the wall.” Consider livening up your child’s room by creating fun-looking walls. Faux finishing is one way to go, from simple methods like sponging to more complicated ragging and combing. Unique designs can easily be made using common household items like plastic bags, container lids, scrub brushes, combs or old clothing. Another option is colour blocking. Choose an accent wall and paint stripes, squares or other geometric shapes using two or three different colours.
