Understanding your needs Before we launched our new look and website YPNextHome.ca, we brought a formal focus group of Canadians together to ask about real estate. We specifically questioned what factors in someone’s life would make them want to move. One of the top three reasons people chose was the desire to live in a different neighbourhood.

The reason? Our focus group said they wanted access to better schools and amenities such as transit, shopping, greenspace and parks.

With so many neighbourhoods to choose from, we decided to create a resource to source neighbourhood info and listings across the country.

On YPNextHome.ca, you’ll find statistical information on over 2,700 neighbourhoods across Canada, featuring data, listings, fun facts and more.

We’ve included a ton of interesting info on key residential neighbourhoods, including photos and video tours. You’ll even find some famous Canadian talent guiding you too – check out 17th Ave. in Calgary, for example.

We hope you’ll explore a few of the neighbourhoods we’ve curated for you on our new website. Drop us a line and a photo about what you love about your favourite neighbourhood, we’d love to hear from you!

You need to move. It’s too small, it’s in the wrong location. It’s got issues. Your life has changed. Your budget has changed. Your family has changed. There are endless reasons why you need to move, and it’s very important to realize that, if it’s time to go, it’s time to go.

Make sure you do things properly.

Give enough notice. Pack in advance.

Purge what you don’t need. Establish what you want in a new apartment.

Leave the place clean.

When it’s time to go, leaving properly is the best thing you can do – it will leave you with a good rental reference and send you on to the appropriate next stage of your life.

It can be hard to navigate all of the rules and challenges, but we’ve anticipated your needs and have put that info at your fingertips. You’ll find great info and advice in this issue, plus more on YPNextHome.ca. Visit our website, search our YPNextHome App and get ready to make your move.

BORDERED BY BOTH Bankfield Rd. and Mitch Owens Rd. to the north, the Rideau River in the south, to the east by Highway 416 and to the west by 3rd Line, The Village of Manotick is brimming with small town charm, whether soicializing, or browsing the antique shops along Main Street.

Country living is key, whether it is a relaxing bike ride or a day of golf.

Residents enjoy leisure time and make the best of idyllic surroundings.

Despite the high cost of fuel, residents fill up their speed boats and hit the river for a day on the water.

Residents are warm and friendly.

On weekends, the streets are packed

with visitors checking out the local hot spots. The Village’s relaxed way of life harkens back to a time before the hustle and bustle of city life. There’s a mix of lifers as well as residents who escaped the busy downtown streets for something a bit more spacious.

A charming mix of wealthy, creative and energetic people, residents choose to live in Manotick because they know that, for a price, they can have the Norman Rockwell-inspired life, with the modern amenities.

Manotick is fairly insular, most needs can be met without leaving the Village. Though there are no big box stores or groceries, there are plenty of

small, local food and supply stores.

Manotick is accessible from Highway 416. You can also take Prince of Wales or Hunt Club. Either way, this place is out of the way, but that’s the whole point. Although, with the new bridge connecting Manotick to Barrhaven, there is suddenly a new world available to all Manotick residents. Barrhaven is filled with all the amenities anyone could ever need. And now these are only minutes away.

Lindsay 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

Check references on a prospective roomie

it’s essential

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

By Kathryn Kusyszyn

EMPLOYERS CHECK REFERENCES, landlords check references, and if you’re considering someone as a roommate, you should check their references too. A person can seem charming initially, then later on turn into a nightmare. Do your homework and avoid such situations.

Have a rental application form that’s appropriate for your province. It will cover all the bases. Discuss how they feel about overnight visitors, smoking, pets, sharing household chores, etc. Asking why they left their last place and how long they lived there is important.

The application form will have a spot for references. Ask for references from their current employer, a previous landlord and at least one previous roommate. Tell them that you will call these people

to verify employment status and their previous housing history. By providing contact information for these references, the prospective roommate is giving you permission to contact them. Check your province’s privacy and human rights laws for what you are allowed to ask and what isn’t okay.

When calling an employer, state that you are verifying the potential roommate’s employment status and character, not doing an employment check for another job. When calling a previous landlord, find out how long the person lived there, whether they paid their rent on time or if there were any other pertinent issues, and why they left. If this information doesn’t match what the person told you, you may need to clarify.

revealing. Ask how long they have known the person and how long they lived together. Then ask “What did you like about living with __?” and “What didn’t you like about living with __?” Ask why they are no longer living together.

If someone cannot provide any references or if none of their references are forthcoming, beware.

You will be living with this person in close quarters, sharing a space and relying on them to fulfil their responsibilities. You need to have a reasonable comfort level with them – they will have access to all of your personal posessions and be privy to much of your private life. Your health, safety and peace of mind are at stake.

Be selective. Communicate clearly and you will find the right match.

it all when it comes to rental options in Ottawa. For more than a decade, the 34-year-old dental assistant moved from one outdated apartment complex to another. It was time for a step up so, two years ago, she moved into a fourth floor, one-bedroom unit at William’s Court in Kanata Lakes, a striking new rental community built by Lépine.

“It’s quite large, has high ceilings and great lighting. A washer and dryer are included in the unit and there are so many amenities here — the fitness centre, the saltwater pool.

It’s a renter’s dream.”

Location Kanata Lakes Stephanie Burns was also looking for something different. She and her husband, Jamie, were done with student living, but Property Management like many young couples, weren’t ready to Lépine invest in a property of their own. Stephanie Apartment wanted more than simply an apartment: she William’s Court wanted a home.

“Right from the start we realized this is our Home Type 1 & 2 bdrm apts spot. You have to see it to believe it!”

Although William’s Court exceeded all of Rental Office Stephanie’s expectations, what really sold 1145 Maritime Way her on the building was the location.

Contact “I’m within walking distance of work, the 613-663-1840 bus stop and the Kanata Centrum.” williamscourt.com After three years of living at William’s leasing@lepineapartments.com Court, Stephanie has come to think of neighbours and staff as family. Her and her husband love the regular wine and cheese

nights, the annual Christmas dinners and the dedication of the staff.

Family owner, Francesca Lépine-Willson, supports Stephanie’s testimonial, as it is one shared by so many of the residents at William’s Court.

“It’s fresh; it’s clean; it’s well-maintained; and all the amenities are included in your rent. It’s the kind of place that you feel good about and are proud to call your home.”

Partners Francesca and her brother Francis Lépine learned the business from their late father, Rene, who designed and built many prestigious addresses in Montreal, including the Olympic Village.

Always at the forefront of building innovation, the family saw another opportunity to raise the bar and offer a high quality, spacious rentals that are unique in today’s market. Their properties are perfect for people looking for a place that is clean, safe and convenient.

Five ways to steer clear of

The gossip

GOSSIP IS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS we hate (but also secretly kind of enjoy). We peak at People magazine when were in line at the grocery store and we watch entire hit TV series developed around the most juicy scandals. It’s a part of our culture – but when gossip starts to spread up and down the elevators and hallways of our apartment building, that’s where people start to draw the line. Our home is the one place where we go back to day in and day out, and where we expect to feel safe.

Don’t be caught in the line of fire. Use these five strategies to avoid rental gossip for good.

DON’T SPREAD THE FIRE No one wants to be caught at the end of a nasty rumor, but did you ever cause the start of one? Small comments that you may never have thought twice about sharing can spread like wildfire through a building and be the start of a bad rumor. Comments about your neighbours’ living habits and schedules are none of your business, or anyone else’s.

Save the drama!

Your building doesn’t need a resident therapist. Keep your completely invalid psychoanalysis to yourself.

DON’T STOP TO LISTEN Gossip is a two-way street. Don’t think just because you’re not spreading the rumors that you’re in the clear. If you are lending neighbours a listening ear and catching up on rumors in the hallway, you’re still guilty of being a part of the rumor mill. Avoid jumping into conversations that are about other people, no matter how juicy the information sounds (I know it’s hard). When no one cares to listen to gossip, no one will be able to spread it.

about your life and soon they won’t know what to think, or what to say.

CHANGE THE SUBJECT The obvious way to avoid being an accomplice or victim of gossip is to avoid your neighbours all together. The fact is though, that’s not possible – or much of a good idea!

Besides, you never know when you may be in need of a neighbourly hand. Your best bet is simply to switch the topic of conversation.

Don’t talk about yourself or other people.

Instead talk about broader subjects like the weather, current events or even how your local sports teams are doing. Keep conversations short and light – you can do it – the elevator ride isn’t that long!

LET IT BE If you’re doing your part not to participate in neighbour gossip, then you’re doing your part and you can’t bother to sweat the rest. People are always going to talk and you just have to let them. Go on with your life and your daily activities. Don’t bother with nosey neighbours who have nothing better to do with their time and soon gossip won’t be a part of your life.

KEEP YOUR BUSINESS TO YOURSELF If you know your building is a gossip hot zone, try your best to keep your business to yourself. Avoid asking people about their lives so you don’t have to bring them up to speed on your own. Keep your neighbours guessing
