Get some advice I get to hear about a lot of rental experiences. People ask me about different property management companies, about the rules of renting – and even about ways to deal with roommates and neighbours. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind giving advice – but I’m not a legal expert and I don’t always have the answers. However, someone does. Each province has its own act governing rental and tenancy rules and laws. While friends, family and industry professionals can offer anecdotal experiences and may have some insight, if you want the real answers, you need to go right to the source: to the governing body. Whether you’ve got a small issue or a very serious problem, it’s likely that you’re not the first person to experience it. In fact, whatever it is, it’s likely covered by your province’s act. You may have your own solution,

but your solution may not be the legal route to solving your problem. For example – many people think they can withhold rent to get the landlord to fix something. In reality, if you withhold rent, you provide the landlord with grounds for evicting you. You’re never allowed to withhold rent unless you’ve go a ruling against your landlord through the board. In fact, the board can even rule for an abatement of rent – getting you a refund for some of your rent for the duration of the issue. Court isn’t the only route, most residential tenancy acts make it clear what your legal entitlements and remedies are. You can opt for mediation as an intermediary step. Often a quick call or search will help with the answers you need. When it’s time to make a move, let Renters Guide help. Check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

few blocks away at Spadina and Bloor. The Annex is well known and well loved for all that it has to offer, and now, Maple Leaf Property Management has made it even harder to resist with an offering of a brand new building to call home at 360 Bloor St. W. The Bloor Annex Residences has suites that are spectacular, nothing has been left unconsidered. Gorgeous one+den, twoand three-bedroom layouts include air conditioning and offer the opportunity to live in a fresh new space with condo quality finishes and amenities. All of the suites were professionally designed and show polish in the details. The building is modern, secure and clean, with security cameras, security patrol and onsite staff 24-hours a day for residents’ peace of mind. The building offers state of the art fitness room, laundry facilities and direct access to Spadina Station. Stepping out, The Annex needs little in the way of introduction. It has some of the city’s hottest landmarks and best hangouts. It has history and heritage, great architecture and is a huge draw for visitors. From the Royal Ontario Museum at University Ave. denoting the east end to the Bloor Cinema at the western boundary of Bathurst, there are

numerous restaurants, bars, and lounges. There is great shopping, culture, art, specialty shops, music venues and hidden hubs of culture, from the Transac Club to the Green room. Living in the midst of it all is in high demand. The location puts residents at the doorstep of the Spadina Subway Station, offering access to the entire city - along both the north/south lines and from east to west. The neighbourhood has greenspace just to the north and several schools, including the University of Toronto, with its esteemed campuses just to the south. While it’s the perfect location for students, it’s also a great spot for young professionals who want to cut the commute, for growing families who want to maintain the city life, and for empty nesters who want a walkable and active community to call their own. This is a neighbourhood with something for everyone – plus a very stylish address! For more information about The Bloor Annex Residences, contact Maple Leaf Property Management at 416.922.7268 to book an appointment, or visit mapleleafapartments.ca to find out more about this and all other Maple Leaf communities.

LOCATED ALONG Bloor Street from

Bathurst to Spadina, The Annex sprawls north to Dupont and south to Harbord. Side streets are residential, but there are quite a few popular pubs, coffee houses and bars tucked away in seemingly residential spots. These hidden gems give the neighbourhood a personal feeling that makes it truly unique. The lifestyle is surprisingly relaxed for such a key downtown location. While traffic may build and congest as this stretch of Bloor Street is an integral route to the downtown core, the people in the neighbourhood simply maintain a relaxed pace. As

much as it is an academic’s paradise, being so close to UofT, there’s also a strong arts and culture community. The Annex is fun, funky and fashionable. The vibe is easy and indie. Suits are outnumbered by colourful prints and flowy fashion. Big trees, some gorgeous Victorian architecture and lots of tall trees mingle with some spectacular backalley graffiti. In fact, walking behind the buildings is as much fun as walking down the main strip. There’s a great mix of people, from students to seniors, dog lovers in the dog parks, some Zen that spans the generations from hippie to hipster in

the form of Yoga studios, East Indian craft stores, grassroots eco-shopping and independent stores. This neighbourhood isn’t one of big brand chains and franchises, the community embraces numerous long-time community businesses – and prides itself on these. There are some rental mid- and highrises, mostly to the east side of The Annex, and rents tend to be just above average.

In love with design and decor, Elisa is the editor of Renters Guide, Home Decor & Renovations and Commercial Investor. When not searching out some unusual solutions to her century home’s reno projects, she’s busy discovering the next best thing in Toronto. Elisa.Krovblit@ypnexthome.ca

Advice | THE RENTALIST

To be, or not to be, passive aggressive By Jackie Marchildon CHANCES ARE, AS A RENTER

you’ve experience your share of interesting neighbours. There are neighbours that turn into lifelong friends, neighbours you keep as acquaintances and dog walkers, and then there are the bad neighbours you tell stories about to your friends. The loud neighbour, the nosey neighbour, the barking neighbour, the “I’m a jerk for no reason” neighbour — they all have a special spot in your story repertoire. Like it or not, living with a bad neighbour is almost like a rite of passage in the renting world, and we all have to learn how to deal with it. The loud neighbour Before accusing someone of being a loud neighbour, you need to take a few things into account. If you live in a basement of an old building, your upstairs neighbour is probably going to seem loud. There is a difference though, in regular routine noise that unfortunately echoes through old buildings, from the recklessly loud and annoying schedule an actual loud neighbour insists on keeping. If you have a neighbour that consistently plays music at full volume past 11 p.m., or that is just generally excessively loud at all hours, it can be unpleasant for everyone. So, how to deal with it? The passive-aggressive way: Leave an unsigned note on their door or on the front door of the building for all residents to see in an attempt to embarrass them into submission. The other way: Go chat with them. Sometimes people genuinely don’t realize how clearly others can hear

their music (and singing). Asking someone nicely to turn in early occasionally is far more likely to result in a compromise than leaving a note or banging on the ceiling. The nosey neighbour When I think of a nosey neighbour, I picture the old lady that used to live next door to me, who never seemed to approve of male guests coming over. In reality, she was nothing in comparison to a legitimate nosey neighbour — a neighbour who is constantly prying into other tenants’ lives, seemingly trying to catch them doing something wrong, like painting their walls without asking the landlord. If it’s truly bothersome, you need to find a way to deal with it. The passive-aggressive way: Make up some worrisome gossip about another tenant to send the nosey neighbour scurrying in fear to get them off your back. The other way: You can talk to your neighbour and let them know you’re a private person and don’t always want to share everything with them — nicely. Or you can be kind and still chat with them, but avoid divulging too much information. The barking neighbour If you’re annoyed with a dog barking in your building, try to remember that a little barking is normal for dogs, especially in busy buildings. If the barking is excessive — and happening at all hours — then it’s a different story. You might be worried the dog is upset or alone too often. But you really don’t know, so again, you can go about this one of two ways.

The passive-aggressive way: Leave an unsigned note on the door for the owner telling them you’re going to call animal control. The other way: Knock on your neighbour’s door and chat with them about their dog’s barking. It’s likely they don’t know that their dog barks when they aren’t home and they’d appreciate hearing your concern over a threat. The disagreeable neighbour Ah, the worst neighbour of them all. They are loud when you don’t want to be, call the landlord when you do want to be, and they don’t hold the elevator when you’re struggling to run in with multiple bags of groceries. If they have a dog, the dog is always barking. If they don’t have a dog, they are always complaining about yours. All around, they are the jerk of your community. How do we go about living with this kind of neighbour? The passive-aggressive way: There are many options here. Call the cops when they are loud, make up things to try to get them evicted, leave them notes, be mean to them, etc. The other way: Be the bigger person and ignore their quirks. If something big comes up (bigger than them just not holding the elevator), go talk to them, or talk to your landlord about options that might work for everyone. Remember — sometimes we just happen to catch someone on a really bad day. They might not be so bad all the time.

Advice | STYLE FILE

Fill those fresh walls By Elisa Krovblit BUYING ART CAN BE INTIMIDATING.

Most people don’t know where to begin or what they want – let alone how to approach putting together a whole collection to fill their space. When moving into a new apartment, that can mean a lot of empty walls. There are many ways to fill those walls. You can default to the mass produced canvases at decor stores, but there’s no originality in those. Everyone has the same Parisian café scene. You can fill your home with family portraits, but there’s a limit to how many pictures of the kids and grandkids can comfortably be used. You need to go out and find art – shows, galleries, installations. You need to learn what kind of art you like, and start indulging. Art doesn’t have any rules. You can’t be wrong. You don’t have to buy art to match your walls or your furniture. Pieces don’t need to match each other. You can have different sizes, different subjects and different media. As long as you love it, it’s the perfect piece. There are two reasons that hold most people back from buying art. The first is that they don’t know what to buy. They’re intimidated to try. They don’t know anything about art and are afraid to make a mistake. The second is that people think art needs to be expensive and that they aren’t able to invest in the right pieces. Don’t let either of these things hold you back. Art is supposed to appeal to your emotions, not just your mind. There are no mistakes here. What one person likes, another hates. Art is very personal this way. Look at art without any preconceived notions. What you like is what you like – it’s as simple as that. From style and colour to

subject matter, it’s all a very personal decision. The art you’re drawn to is going to be an expression of who you are, and that’s what should fill your walls. You bought your bed because you find it comfortable, you weren’t worried about whether other people would also like it. You buy your perfume or cologne because you like the scent – you’re not crowdsourcing friends to make sure they’re in love with it too. Art is the same – it should be personally fulfilling. And like every other item in your home, art should be a response to your needs. “Feed my eyes,” my friend, the Toronto street chalk artist Victor Fraser once painted on a big empty slate. Keep this in mind. Art should feed your eyes. Art doesn’t have to be expensive. You’re not going to start off by hanging original Jackson Pollocks and Matisses. You can find great original art at very reasonable price points. As artists become collected their work becomes more valuable. There are galleries and reps that specialize in discovering new talent. These may best suit your budget. You can check out art online – but it’s better to go into galleries and experience art in person. The size alone can have a real impact, and also the colours, the textures and the light. Don’t forget to look for art in unexpected places. Basquiat used to sell his art on the street $10 for a postcard-sized work, – now worth thousands. In 2013 famed street artist Banksy set up a pop-up shop and sold pieces for $60 – buyers ended up with very valuable pieces, some that immediately earned sixfigure appraisals – yet most people just walked by.

Top: David Krovblit, The Garden photo: Krovblit.com Bottom: Immerse yourself in art and discover what you love. photos: Artist Project theartistproject.com

As you stroll the galleries and visit art fairs, don’t be afraid to ask questions and start discussions with the gallery owners – or if you’re really lucky, with the artists themselves. They’re often at shows and love the rare opportunity to connect with their audience. Ask questions, explore the pieces. If you like something, get it, or at least take a card or a postcard so you can create a file and then go back when you find yourself thinking about that great piece you saw. Feed your eyes, that’s what art is all about!

Advice | FINANCES

Finances and building the love nest By Heather Battison

WITH NEARLY ONE QUARTER of

weddings occurring in the month of August, planning is no doubt in full swing. Likely all the major decisions will have been made by now – venue, wedding party and menu. But wait! Has the happy couple discussed their finances yet? Finances are one of the major causes for marriage problems – and unfortunately, one of the primary reasons for divorce (60 percent of Canadians cited money related conflict as the number one reason for divorce according to a Bank of Montreal survey conducted in 2014). The reason for this is likely the differences in spending habits and a general lack of communication about things like debt and credit history. According to a recent survey from TransUnion, one of Canada’s leading credit reporting companies, the majority of Canadian couples (86 percent) are familiar with their spouse/ partners credit history. Canadians earning under $40K annually are significantly less likely to know their spouse or partner’s credit history, while younger Canadians (age 18-24) are significantly more likely to be unfamiliar with their spouse or partner’s credit history. Financial experts say couples should carefully explore topics such as income imbalances, debt and savings before tying the knot. But often, these topics are ignored because they can be difficult to discuss. The question is really - how do you know if you’re really credit compatible? Heather Battison, Vice President, TransUnion Consumer Division, shares some “watch-outs” for couples heading to the altar: 42

YPNEXTHOME.CA

1. Surprises are not always good. Talking with your significant other about current debts and expenses you both have can eliminate any surprises when it comes time to finance a larger purchase. 2. That diamond ring may have to wait. Lenders focus primarily on credit when determining the conditions of your borrowing allowance. Couples with lower credit could receive higher interest rates or even be rejected for loans. 3. Credit scores don’t marry up. Married life brings shared financial responsibilities that can make it difficult to keep credit histories completely separate. Your credit may be excellent, but you can expect some challenges if you marry someone with bad credit. When jointly applying for credit, the lower score can dictate the rate and terms you’re offered. 4. Discuss debt before marriage. Like marriage, your combined debt is a contract. A person’s credit history can affect everything from getting a mortgage to qualifying for professional licensing and even getting the best rate on car insurance. To avoid unexpected marital stress, couples should fully disclose their credit histories prior to tying the knot. While a variety of circumstances can lead to a poor credit history, bad credit can also be a sign of underlying problems handling money. 5. Talk about it. The majority (83 percent) of Canadian couples talk to their spouse or partner at least twice a year with more than

Be sure that your budgeting tactics and financial goals are aligned before marriage. six-in-ten talking at least once a month about their debt. “We talk hypothetically a lot to ensure that we are properly planning for both unexpected money coming in (like a bonus) or if we have a housing improvement (or need an urgent upgrade) and how we can plan for this accordingly,” say Lindsay and Kipp from Toronto. Openly discussing finances with your partner is the best way to prevent future disagreements or unwelcome surprises. Don’t forget to review your credit report. TransUnion recommends couples do this at least once a year. 6. Prepare to build a love nest. Be sure that your budgeting tactics and financial goals are aligned before marriage. “We set aside time each month to talk about the finances and both have input into how we are managing our money,” say Lindsay and Kipp. TransUnion suggests that couples assign responsibilities to each partner to help manage the budget as one person should not completely own the family’s financial system. Battison explains that while talking money isn’t always the most comfortable thing for some people, it can pave the way to a happier (and more prosperous!) future together.
