EDITORS’ NOTES

a

re you too busy to manage a home? Perhaps you’ve done the home ownership thing, and want to unshackle yourself from the costs of upkeep and home maintenance?

Most everyone these days is looking at ways to de-stress and simplify their lives, and renting rather than owning one can be one of the easiest ways to get relief. When you really think about it, it’s an option that may take some getting used to!

Needless to say, when you’re renting a home, your “to-do” list will likely look very different than those from your home ownership days. It could include things like longer vacations to the sunny south; more time to enjoy friends and family, and plentiful periods of “me” time with those books and movies you’ve always wanted to check out.

Whether you’re a life-long renter or a homeowner in need of a change, this issue of Renters Guide is for you. We’ve profiled some of the top buildings and suites in the area, and we’ve got some great advice on renting and decorating in the issue too. Your new “to-do” list is waiting. Time to set yourself free.

o you realize the convenience that apartment living offers over the holiday season? I don’t want to hear that your apartment is small so you can’t have many people over. Au contraire. Whether for a feast or a fête, it just takes some planning. Move the furniture out of the way and rent a big table and extra chairs. Doesn’t that seem the logical thing to do for the once-a-year you need seating for 15, instead of having a dedicated dining room you rarely use?

I’ve been lucky enough to live in buildings where there are party rooms. I book mine months in advance. I’ve never had a guest list too large, and it saves me the deep clean of my own place before guests arrive. Many party rooms have upscale features like a fireplace, piano, catering kitchen and bar – even a sound system for dancing.

When I go to parties at the apartments of family and friends, I always check if there’s a guest suite I can rent for the night. They’re often available at a nominal fee.

It’s so much more convenient and comfortable than a late-night cab ride. Guest suites come to be like mini-vacations, especially if you’re visiting friends and family who live some distance away. I wouldn’t want to impose on my host further, so it’s an ideal solution!

Apartment entertaining is also fabulous because there are no worries about parking, no driveway to shovel before guests arrive, and most apartments are convenient to public transit so there’s no excuse for party-goers who don’t drive.

You’re ready for holiday rental living, and we’re here to help. Our magazine and website, RentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

HOMESTEAD

Leading the way across Ottawa THERE’S NOTHING QUITE LIKE THE HOLIDAYS IN OTTAWA. The halls of parliament are decked.

The Rideau is aglow from bright lights and decorations reflecting off the glass-like surface, and the city becomes even more full of good cheer.

You can’t help but enjoy the season, and Homestead makes the perfect home for the holidays - and the year through!

Coming home to Homestead means being appreciated as a resident. It means enjoying an exceptional rental experience. It means having the comforts of home. From desirable neighbourhoods to exceptional customer service, that’s what you can expect with Homestead. The name says it all.

Building on 60 years in the rental industry, Homestead has desirable communities across Ottawa – and throughout southern Ontario – and continues to grow. With a passion for the residential rental industry, Homestead owns all of the buildings it manages, and is a well established developer of apartment communities.

This allows Homestead to have control over the quality of the buildings, grounds and suites, and of the service given to all residents.

Buildings are renovated and updated as needed, and technology and RentersGuide.ca modernizations are constantly being introduced. Green initiatives are a constant consideration, utilizing elements like water retrofits, building automation and Energy Star appliances. All of these RentersGuide.ca

14

initiatives improve the lifestyle of residents and keep Homestead at the forefront of the rental industry.

Delivering a premium rental experience, Homestead is able to offer enormous variety of options to suit most any needs and lifestyles, from simple affordability to well-heeled luxury. Whether you’re looking for a quiet, suburban location on a tranquil side street with access to parks and greenspace or you need an über-urban location that puts you at the heart of Ottawa, there’s a Homestead community in the ideal spot. From tidy bachelors and one bedrooms to sprawling three-bedroom suites and townhomes – and everything in between – Homestead has just the size you’re looking for, to accommodate your family and your lifestyle. Amenities – which vary by community – add to the lifestyle, with options like indoor and outdoor pools, fitness facilities, squash and tennis courts and social rooms. Choose the location which best suits your needs.

Living in a Homestead community will set the standard for your rental expectations.

On-site management is available to assist residents 24 hours a day with any emergencies or concerns. Professional and attentive, they’re dedicated to creating and maintaining a high standard of comfort, cleanliness and security.

Residents are accustomed to a top-notch rental experience and Homestead delivers.

One of the features that has improved service is the ‘One Stop Media’ which has been installed in all rental properties. This high-tech feature keeps Homestead in touch with residents through LCD monitors in the high-traffic areas of the building, including the lobby and the laundry room. This enables Homestead to reach residents with news, information and relevant events. Weather updates, news and general entertainment content is also included. An environmentally responsible method of communications, it reduces the need for printing paper flyers to distribute community information.

The informative website also includes news and updates – and makes the search for a new apartment simple and efficient. Each Homestead property is listed, including an overview of the building, its amenities and suites. Pictures, videos and floorplans make it easy to find the perfect fit.

Think protection when renting

by TED WHITEHEAD

AT THE FEDERATION OF RENTAL-HOUSING PROVIDERS OF ONTARIO (FRPO), we find that people often do not understand the importance of purchasing tenant insurance when they move into an apartment.

According to Statistics Canada, fewer than half of all tenants have this type of protection – and protection, it is.

As a renter, you are responsible for what happens in your unit. Household insurance should include a liability clause that will cover you should someone get injured in your apartment and sue. You may also be unaware that if you cause damage to other units in the building through your own carelessness, like water damage, for example, you could be liable for the repairs.

Renters who have not done their “homework” sometimes assume that the landlord’s insurance will cover them, when in fact, it does not. The property insurance which landlords purchase covers the building and their own personal liability. This means that your personal belongings are not protected unless you purchase tenant insurance RentersGuide.ca that covers your stuff.

Let’s say the apartment building burns down. The landlord’s insurance would cover repairs to the structure, but you

RentersGuide.ca

22

would have to purchase replacements for all of your personal furniture and other possessions. If that sounds like it’s not a big deal – think again.

People are usually astounded at the value of what they own. The best way to appreciate this fact is to take one room and list the items in it. Then write down what it would cost to replace each one and add it up. Clothing, shoes and coats can cost thousands.

And, most people today own computers, entertainment equipment and other items that would be difficult to afford all at once if they were ruined by fire or water. Discuss the policy possibilities with your insurance agent. You can purchase a policy that covers what your possessions are worth in their used state, or you can buy a policy that covers replacement costs.

Another reason to consider insuring your contents is that sometimes your items are covered outside of your apartment. If your laptop is stolen on a trip, as it is part of your property, it

may be covered under your policy. It’s always worth checking with your agent or broker.

Additionally, if you are a student renting housing while in university, have your parents check as to whether you might be covered under their home insurance policy.

If you choose an apartment building that has successfully completed the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP), be sure to ask the building manager or property manager for advice about insurance.

The CRBP was created by FRPO to help ensure a high quality of life for tenants in certified buildings. Part of that commitment is to provide information to potential tenants that helps them to make their rental decision with confidence. It’s all about peace of mind.

For information on a variety of topics regarding renting an apartment in Ontario, visit www.frpo.org and www.crbprogram.org.

Entertaining

holiday

RentersGuide.ca

style

by ERICA GELMAN

IT’S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR – friends are gathering, family is arriving, the food is cooking, the presents are stacking and you are hosting a highly anticipated holiday event.

In our house, the holiday party is a not-to-miss affair, I take this season very seriously and expect nothing less from my guests. It’s the one time of the RentersGuide.ca year where everyone clears their schedules and unites together.

RentersGuide.ca 38

RentersGuide.ca

Much like interior decorating, we suggest planning your holiday décor in advance. Decorating for the holidays goes beyond just dressing your tree and hanging the lights. It also means setting your holiday table, decorating your entrance and creating a festive atmosphere around your house, especially if you are expecting guests.

Prepare yourself for the amount of guests, the length of their stay and how many events you’ll be hosting. If you’re not hosting but rather attending, you still may want to make your home look and feel festive. The same principles apply to decorating your home day-today as they do to decorating your home for the holidays. The most important rule of design is consistency. Allow your holiday décor to reflect, in this case, a new season and embrace the spirit of the holidays.

Start with a theme. Usually, I would say to stay away from any themed décor however, when it comes to the holidays I say, “Go wild!” Generally there is an excitement when it comes to the holidays and when entertaining I like to bring that excitement out in the details. For luxurious touches, what screams luxe more than glitzy gold or shimmering silver? You can add silver-rimmed wine or champagne glasses accompanied with gold leaf charge plates at the dinner table. This year – we would suggest mixing your metals similar to what we are seeing in fashion, you don’t just have to choose one. Want to try a new spin

on traditional hues? You can incorporate royal jewel tones like emerald green and deep amethyst with silver accents and create your own classic design. However, if it’s fresh and modern décor you’re ready to implement, try black and white punctuated with crystal accessories or gold finishes. Incorporate things that are simple with something somewhat special. It could be your grandmother’s antique china mixed in with modern flatware, or historic family ornaments decorated in new apothecary glass vases.

When it comes to tabletop décor, a real statement comes from adding volume and height with various vignettes. If you want to leave your dining table strictly for tableware then decorate around the room or on the buffet table. You can add one large centrepiece in the middle and several smaller ones around the room or across the table. While flowers are typically thought of as common centrepieces, we like to add contemporary details like birch trees cut down to size, faux antlers, lots of candles and even fur throws on dining seats.

Whether it’s a family holiday affair or a celebration for New Year’s Eve – be sure to deck your halls, dress your mantle, accessorize your tree, and set your tabletop.

What Type of

APARTMENT is RIGHT for YOU?

by JANE HERMAN

WHAT TYPE OF APARTMENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU? Before you invest too much time and effort apartment hunting you can greatly facilitate your search by giving some thought to the type of apartment that best suits your needs. Since there are so many listings to search through, it may help to understand what the different types of apartments are and the advantages of each: The majority of modern apartments are located in high rise buildings. Because it’s more economical to build on a large scale, an apartment in a high rise is often a practical and economical choice, in terms of the materials, appliances, finishes and other details you will be able to enjoy for your rental dollar. Highrise buildings are often situated on main streets and in prime locations, such as major intersections and convenient to public transportation.

You can find a great variety of highrise buildings in nearly every possible neighbourhood, many of which have been beautifully renovated, with refinished floors, new carpeting, lighting, and new lobby furnishings. Some highrises have luxurious features and amenities like a concierge, pool, security, fitness facilities, balconies, air conditioning, and underground parking, RentersGuide.ca which might be unavailable in a low-rise, duplex or townhouse.

One advantage of a highrise is the opportunity to live in a large community. In aRentersGuide.ca highrise, you’ll frequently encounter other

residents in the common areas like lobby, elevator, parking garage, the laundry room, and fitness facility. Not only does this offer you a beneficial social network, it can have practical advantages as well. In a highrise you have the potential to meet other people in whose social needs – perhaps a babysitter, or someone to bring you something from the grocery store on a snowy winter day – might be similar to yours. During an emergency, like a hurricane or blackout, it can be comforting to have a network of support around you.

If you don’t like to wait for an elevator every time you go in and out of your residence, you might prefer a low-rise building. Any building that is three stories or less could be considered a low-rise. A duplex, triplex or fourplex is also a type of low-rise apartment.

Depending on the vintage, these types of apartments can be spacious and have a “homey”feeling to them. Some may have beautiful architectural details like fireplaces, tiled floors, paneling and/or wainscotting. In a low-rise building you’ll have more privacy and less contact with your neighbours than in a high rise. Of course, you’ll have to carry all of your furnishings, groceries and other packages in and out through the stairs. But the layout and aesthetics might make it worth it.

A Loft can be an upper room or floor of a large building, converted factory or warehouse building that is sometimes converted into apartments. Lofts are often tucked away above stores, or in the upper levels of commercial buildings. A penthouse apartment with a spiral staircase to a bedroom might also fit the description of a loft. Depending on the location and layout of the loft, it might be highly suitable for an artist or a creative person, who might want to live and work in the same space, or live

and work in a commercial neighbourhood.

A condominium is another rental option.

Often with a condo you will be renting directly from an owner, rather than through a professional property management firm. Condominiums are usually found in newer buildings rather than purpose-built rental buildings. The major disadvantage of renting a condo is that when you rent directly from the owner, you are at their mercy, should they decide to sell the unit or move into it themselves. If the appliances or anything else in the apartment needs servicing, you may have to deal with the owner, or find tradespeople yourself.

A townhouse can be an excellent choice for a growing family. A spacious, multiple level residence, with great storage, basements, backyards and garages, townhouses are usually set in nice communities with walking paths and landscaped greenspace.

Some townhouses feature play areas for young children, walking paths and other suburban enhancements.

Before you start searching, give some thought to the type of apartment that best meets your needs. This will help you to narrow down the possible listings to consider and ensure that you’ll be more satisfied with your choice in the long run.
