s you know, one of the biggest considerations you’re faced with when it comes to choosing a rental is your choice of location.

Unlike furniture, paint and decor, it’s the one thing that you cannot change, so it’s important to choose well. What are the 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 own 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 has many health benefits and gives you a chance to meet your 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 weigh your options.

don’t personally know anyone that doesn’t have Internet access. Oh, I know they’re out there, but I’ll never meet them on Facebook, connect with them on LinkedIn or Tweet at them.

It seems that most people have more than one Internet connection. In my home there are three iPhones, two iPads, one Macbook, a Nintendo DS and two WD Media boxes online. There’s a wireless modem broadcasting wi-fi to all devices. It sounds like a lot, but it’s probably comparable to when people made the transition from one party line phone to having a telephone in every room in the house and having multiple lines, call waiting and three-way calling. Oh, for the love of technology! Living in an apartment building you have proof of just how many people have Internet access. Just look at the wi-fi listing on any of your devices. The list is long. I actually like checking out the names. Most are the default numerical account numbers, but I’ve seen things like “Get your own wi-fi” “My Signal” and “FBI Surveillance Van” among other funny names. It’s up to you if you want to change yours. Mine is called “Gone Surfing,” and it’s the truth! That lock symbol beside the wi-fi account signifies that the wi-fi signal is protected by a password. This is extremely important. Most accounts have a maximum data limit. Going over that limit will cost you – and it can be expensive. It never fails that someone you know learns this lesson the hard way – someone taps into an unsecured wi-fi point and uses extreme amounts of data, usually uploading and downloading music and movies. Unfortunately, the account holder is left paying the tab. I’ve even heard stories of people sending strange images to wireless wi-fi printers. You’ve got too many neighbours. Always add a password. And name your signal “Hacker Virus” because that ought to scare them off! Internet access is a must these days, it will allow you to use our Renters Guide App and our website, RentersGuide.ca which are the perfect complement to our magazine, where we offer the best selection of available apartments as well as great articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

That it offers exceptional river views, beautiful bike and walking trails just a stroll away, quick access to major routes and one of the city’s best shopping districts – The Train Yards – just around the corner, is really just a bonus. Faircrest simply checks all the boxes for people looking to live well.

5 ORGANIZING MYTHS that can keep you stuck by HELLEN BUTTIGIEG

IT’S TIME TO DISPEL SOME ORGANIZING MYTHS THAT MAY BE KEEPING YOU STUCK AND GETTING IN YOUR WAY OF A MORE ORGANIZED LIFE. I’ve focused on the five most common beliefs about organizing, so you can get clear on what works and what doesn’t. Once we bust the myths, you’ll be on your way to organizing yourself like a pro. Answer true or false to these myths:

sight is out-of-mind for them. This may cause their spaces to appear disorganized to others, but they probably know exactly where everything is. The flip side of this though is that visual types lose focus when there is too much to look at, so they need to find products that will allow them to contain their stuff to keep down the visual clutter. For example, a literature sorter allows them to contain their papers while still keeping them within view.

1. CONTAINERS WILL ALWAYS GET YOU ORGANIZED. False.

I often hear people say to me “There’s no way I could get organized because I am too sentimental – I don’t want to get rid of everything.”Although you shouldn’t keep things you don’t like or will never use, there’s always a way to either display or store the things that matter. For example, shadow boxes or display cases allow you to protect as well as showcase the possessions that truly mean something special to you.

Contrary to what the ads want you to believe, containers alone are not the answer to your organizing dilemmas. In fact, they can become part of the problem. Let’s take Nancy for example. She purchased several large plastic containers to organize all of her craft supplies and memorabilia. But she still couldn’t find what she was looking for when she needed it. Nancy mistakenly thought all she needed to get herself organized was a few containers. But what she really needed was to learn a bit about organizing. Before you go out and spend money on containers or other organizing products, do some preliminary work and planning. The first thing I recommend is doing the purge. Only when you know exactly what it is you need to store, how much of it, and where the most suitable location is to store it – should you go out and purchase containers. And don’t forget to measure first. Bringing home the wrong containers for the job simply creates more clutter.

2. MULTITASKING IS ALWAYS PRODUCTIVE. False. Although useful in some situations, multitasking can cause you to lose your focus and make costly and time consuming mistakes. When working on important tasks, multitasking is probably not a good idea. Some things require your undivided attention. Multitasking distracts us from being in the present moment, which can drain our energy and leave us feeling exhausted and unfulfilled. Next time you are participating in an activity, be with that activity (rather than thinking about all the things you should be doing instead, or have to do later). Resist the RentersGuide.ca habit of trying to do two things at once.

3. BEING MESSY AUTOMATICALLY MEANS YOU ARE DISORGANIZED. False. Organizing is not about how it looks; it’s about how it works. Visual, creative types need to have things out where they can see them, because out-ofRentersGuide.ca

4. YOU HAVE TO TOSS EVERYTHING TO GET ORGANIZED. False.

5. IF YOU WRITE IT ON A TO-DO LIST, IT WILL GET DONE. False. I had a client who was so proud of her to-do list: it was prioritized, colour-coded and categorized – yet she was frustrated and overwhelmed at how many things on the list were not getting done. To get anything accomplished you have to actually schedule time to do the things on your list. Simply putting a task on a list is not a commitment – blocking time on your calendar to do it is.

Elevator

Etiquette By Jane Herman

IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGHRISE BUILDING, THE ELEVATOR IS THE PRINCIPAL WAY IN AND OUT OF YOUR APARTMENT, a confined space in which you briefly encounter your neighbours several times daily. The natural instinct is to be uncommunicative and absorbed in your own headspace: preoccupied with where you’re headed, and keeping strangers at a distance. And yet, the other occupants of the elevator, unfamiliar as they may be, deserve a modicum of courtesy. Unfortunately, most people have forgotten how to be courteous. Most elevator etiquette is just that – being courteous. If you need some specifics, the following should help: 1 Allow passengers to exit before attempting to board the elevator. 2 Take the stairs if you are only going one or two floors, except if the elevator is empty or you have a cart, stroller, large packages or are disabled. 3 Hold the door for others who are running to catch the elevator – especially your neighbours coming from down the hall. A plague on anyone who watches the door slide shut in someone’s face! 4 While holding the doors briefly is a must, do not hold the door indefinitely and delay travel for other passengers. 5 Please be considerate of others. If you are sick, wait for an empty elevator. If that is truly impossible, absolutely refrain from coughing/ sneezing, etc., for the duration of the ride. Always sneeze or cough into your sleeve, not your hands, and never put your germ-infested hands on RentersGuide.ca the floor buttons. 6 If you are on the elevator first or closest to the control panel, ask other riders what floor they would like. On the other hand, it is somewhat rude to call out your floor to the person standing nearest the buttons as if that person is the elevator operator. If there is space to do so, press the RentersGuide.ca button yourself. 38

7 There’s a certain amount of discomfort when several strangers enter the elevator together. Typically, women like to feel safe and give a quick glance around to “size up” who is in the elevator. Don’t be afraid to say “good morning” or “hello” and make eye contact with other passengers. 8 When other passengers board, move a little to give everyone some personal space. 9 Try to avoid carrying out interpersonal conversations, be they face-to-face or – particularly – talking on your cellphone (especially in a loud voice). The elevator is not a phone booth. 10 Likewise, if you’re listening to your music or watching videos, use headphones and turn the volume down so you don’t disturb other riders. 11 If you’re carrying a backpack, make sure it doesn’t land in someone’s face when you turn around. 12 Never drop litter or deface the walls of the elevator with anything sharp. Vandalism hurts everyone. Riding in an elevator can bring out the best or the worst in people. Think of the elevator RentersGuide.ca as an extension of the building’s lobby, and of other riders as your guests. Now, enjoy the ride!

Understanding when your rent can be increased

– AND BY HOW MUCH BY TED WHITEHEAD

RENTING AN APARTMENT IN ONTARIO BRINGS WITH IT NUMEROUS PRIVILEGES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Tenants should know where they stand when it comes to what they are entitled to under the Residential Tenancies Act because it protects renters’ safety and privacy, and also outlines tenant responsibilities. At the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO), we find that consumers often do not understand the parameters of the landlord-rental relationship, especially when it comes to issues around rent and when it can be increased. The rules governing the amount of rent are stipulated in great detail in the Residential Tenancies Act. Landlords can increase rent only in accordance with this document, and in an amount that is not greater than the lawful rent permitted under the appropriate sections. Property managers and property owners, who are members of the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) pay strict adherence to these rental-increase regulations. Tenant’s living in CRBP-approved buildings can expect a consistent and straightforward approach with regard to any increases in their rent – no unlawful surprises. For example, there is the “12-month rule” which states that a landlord who is entitled by law to increase rent to a tenant for a rental unit can do so only after at least one year has elapsed. This time frame begins on the day of the last rent increase for that specific tenant in that exact rental unit if there was a previous increase, or since the day the unit was rented to that tenant. In addition, the guideline for each calendar year is determined by the percentage change from year-to-year in the Consumer Price Index for Ontario for the prices of goods and services, as reported monthly by Statistics Canada. These prices are averaged over the 12-month period that ends at the end of May of the previous calendar year, rounded to the first decimal point.

RentersGuide.ca

Landlords can apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board for permission to raise rents over the established guideline if they are engaging in costly repairs or renovations. If the landlord makes such an application, tenants must receive access to a copy of this form and notice of the hearing date.

with the amount of increase mentioned. If you don’t receive this notice, you do not have to pay the increase, but are still responsible for the rent. This gives you some idea of the level of detail covered in the Residential Tenancies Act, and there are many more points to consider. There are some exceptions to all of these guidelines, so it is important to check the Act if you are in doubt about your landlord’s responsibilities – or your own. The Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) was created by FRPO to help ensure a high quality of life for tenants in certified buildings. The apartments that qualify under the program comply with the conditions stipulated in the Residential Tenancies Act. This is a useful tool in helping you to locate buildings that are safe and professionally run. To learn more about your rights and responsibilities as a tenant, you can find the Residential Tenancies Act at www.ontariotenants.ca/law/act.phtml You will also find information at www. frpo.org and www.crbprogram.org Ted Whitehead is Director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program at the Federation of Rental-housing Providers RentersGuide.ca of Ontario – FRPO

RentersGuide.ca As a tenant, you must receive at least 90 days’ notice in writing of a rent increase, 54
