Know your rights Rules rules rules. It seems like the landlord, the neighbours and your mother all know what’s best when it comes to how to live your life. I was visiting a friend recently, and he said the landlord wanted to renew his lease. He explained that every year the landlord would announce whether there was a rent hike or not, and then come over with a new lease to sign. While my friend didn’t particularly mind because his rent is reasonable, the landlord is efficient and he’s not planning on moving any time soon, the fact that each year he was locked into 12 additional months posed a bit of an annoyance. Truth is, once your initial lease runs out, your occupancy continues month-to-month. There’s no reason to sign a lease. Some landlords like to have a lease in place so that they know their tenants aren’t moving and they don’t have to worry about re-renting. Some think it’s a necessity. Realistically, the landlord has to give you 90 days’ written notice of a rent increase, and that’s it. No lease. No new term.

Another friend recently complained that she could only do laundry between 7pm and 9pm. “Why?” I asked. Her neighbour had recently decided that, in efforts to keep the shared hydro bill down, laundry could only be used during off-peak hours. The 9pm limit was to keep laundry machines from waking her kids. My friend regularly missed this window. Neighbours can politely ask, but unless those terms are in the lease, neighbours can’t simply decide on new rules for their own convenience. And Mom? What she wants, you best just do. She’s your Mom after all! There are rules and laws. Each province has its own set. To get the most out of your rental experience you really should know the basics. Each province offers renters a reference website and the ability to mediate or have rules enforced legally. The rules are there to protect both renters and landlords. If you’re ready to move, let Renters Guide help. Check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

Neighbourhood Profile

Nautical Village Life on the water

MORE PHOTOS AND STATS ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/nautical-village

NAUTICAL VILLAGE IS Pickering’s very

own waterfront community. You don’t have to be a boat-enthusiast to enjoy this small, lovable neighbourhood. With its beaches, Waterfront Trail, and an array of restaurants, shops and events, it’s safe to say that Nautical Village has it all. The area is highly adored by Pickering residents, and has become a hotspot for tourists looking to get away from the chaos of the city. There are several community activities that are not only a huge draw for Nautical Village residents, but residents of neighbouring communities.

The neighbourhood certainly lives up to its name; it’s nautical in every sense of the word. From the waterfront, to the marine supply shops and easy-going nature of the people, Nautical Village has all the charm one would expect from a small waterfront community. The area really comes to life in the summer months, and people swarm to the area to take in all its natural beauty, organized recreational activities and free musical entertainment. With its beautiful ambiance and unique homes, it’s no wonder that Beautiful marinas are located along Frenchman’s Bay. Millennium

Square is a hotspot in the summer months and people flock to hear the live music concerts. The Pickering Waterfront Trail runs from Rouge River to Ajax and goes through Nautical Village. There is a plethora of restaurants, cafes and shops scattered along Liverpool. During the peak months, Nautical village is buzzing with people. The fun-loving people coupled with fabulous restaurants and activities make for a great night out on the town. Quick tip: arrive early to ensure you snag a parking spot.

Five ways to make moving a cleaner, greener process By Chuck Resnick

WE NEED TO THINK of the environment with every activity - even moving day can be cleaner and Greener, and it doesn’t take much effort. Waste caused by the moving process not only stems from packing supplies, but also from the waste accumulated over many years within a home. Both can be extremely taxing on the environment if not properly managed. Here are some suggestions on how to make your move a cleaner, Greener process:

1 Plan ahead. Waiting until the last minute to prepare for a move will make any environmental concerns an afterthought. Start early so you have the extra time to sort through recyclable items – in your apartment and in storage – for delivery to recycling depots prior to moving day. Typically your storage contains the highest concentration of recyclable waste, so start the sorting process there first. Consider holding a garage sale or donating gently used but no longer wanted items to a charity rather than have them end up in a landfill site. 2 Research. Survey local recycling options to find the most convenient solution for recyclables. Many cities offer curbside pick-up or “sort and drop” depots. Visit earth911.com for a list of local organizations that can dispose of all types of recyclable materials. 3 Organize. Prepare recyclables by organizing into categories: plastic, glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard, etc. Look up the requirements of the local recycler to see if there 26

YPNEXTHOME.CA

are any additional steps needed to prepare recyclables beforehand. 4 Care for hazardous material. As you clean in preparation to move, be conscientious about the kinds of materials being packed to move with you and which items are to be disposed. Toxic items, such as paint, batteries, house cleaning products, automobile oils, pesticides and fertilizers are dangerous and cannot be transported in the back of a commercial moving truck. Also consider these items cannot be thrown-out with your regular garbage. Look up the specialized recycling depots for toxic products in your city.

5 Reuse. Do not throw away used moving boxes when the move is complete. A well-made corrugated box is great for storage or may be reused for a future move or passed on to someone else who is moving. Contact local schools or charity organizations, such as women’s shelters, scout troops, and food banks to ask if they need boxes to redistribute donated items. Donating gently used boxes not only reduces waste, but can be a big help in support of a good cause.

Square One finds that 41 per cent of renters with roommates don’t have home insurance

SQUARE ONE INSURANCE SERVICES

recently surveyed over 1,500 renters in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. The survey revealed that 30 per cent of renters share their homes with unrelated roommates. Alberta had the highest percentage at 34 per cent, followed by Ontario at 31 per cent and British Columbia at 26 per cent. “We conducted this survey because we’ve been receiving more inquires for home insurance by those living with roommates,” states Daniel Mirkovic, Square One’s president. “We wanted to understand what was 28

YPNEXTHOME.CA

driving this trend.” While there are many reasons why renters choose to have roommates, the top reasons for those surveyed were: • To help with rent (63 per cent); • For companionship (25 per cent); and, • For added security (seven per cents). According to Statistics Canada, residential property values across the country increased by 11 per cet in 2016. While increased property values build equity for

homeowners, they make it even harder for first-time buyers to enter the real estate market. This, in turn, causes more pressure on the already tight rental market. In fact, the average cost to rent a twobedroom apartment continues to rise every year across Canada. “With the high cost of rent, it makes sense that most renters have roommates for financial reasons,” says Mirkovic. “However, it is surprising how many renters (and their roommates) go without home insurance given the increased risks faced when living

with unrelated persons.” Square One’s survey found that renters are eight times more likely to go without home insurance than homeowners. As illustrated in the table, renters in British Columbia are the least likely to have home insurance whereas those in Alberta are the most likely. Based on Square One’s experience, renters have three common misconceptions about home insurance: 1. Landlord’s insurance protects renters. Landlord’s insurance specifically excludes the personal property and liability exposures of renters. Accordingly, renters need a home insurance policy to protect their belongings, cover extra expenses if their homes are damaged and can’t be occupied, and pay amounts for unintentionally injuring someone else. 2. Home insurance is too expensive for renters. Policies can start from as little as $15 a month. Most insurance providers offer both annual and monthly payment options. To help reduce costs even further, renters can increase the standard policy deductible. A deductible is the amount the renter must pay before the policy will respond. 3. It’s difficult for renters to get home insurance. Of the three misconceptions, this one has some truth to it. Many renters, especially those living with roommates, may have had difficulty getting home insurance. In recent years, providers, like Square One, are actively offering insurance to renters. So, renters are encouraged to shop around to find a policy that works for them. For those living with unrelated roommates, you can expect to pay a little more for the added exposure. Most companies charge an extra 10 per cent, which isn’t very much on a $15 a month policy. You can

Landlord’s insurance specifically excludes the personal property and liability exposures of renters. also expect to be assessed a $2,500 deductible for crime-related losses. That means you’ll have to pay the first $2,500 if your belongings are stolen or mysteriously disappear. When applying for home insurance, you should be prepared to describe how many roommates you have. If you have just one roommate, then you can often be insured under a single policy. If you have multiple roommates, then each of you will need to purchase separate policies. It’s also important to describe your relationship with each roommate. While you may consider a sibling or partner to be your roommate, the insurance provider may classify them as a family member. Most policies automatically cover family members at no extra cost. Getting the right home insurance, while essential, is just one side of the coin. With a greater pool of roommates to choose from, it’s now more important than ever that you do your due diligence when finding and selecting a roommate. A bad roommate can cause countless headaches and financial stress. Square One has created an online resource centre for tenants. It offers tips to Canadians on how to find the perfect roommate, structure a lease, and prepare a roommate agreement. To view this resource centre, please visit www.squareoneinsurance.ca/

tenant-resource-centre. One of the articles in this resource centre outlines how to avoid selecting the wrong roommate. As a short summary, here are the top tips to finding the right roommate: • Be upfront about your lifestyle and ask a potential roommate to describe theirs. If you’re an early sleeper, then you might not get along with a night owl. Alternatively, if you wake up early for work, then you probably don’t want a roommate who enjoys partying on weeknights. • Ask potential roommates to complete an in-depth application about their work, income, and references. Keep in mind you cannot ask questions around certain topics, such as religion, sexual preference, or marital status. • After obtaining permission, conduct a background check. If an applicant provides consent, check their credit score, employment history and rental history. You can also browse their social media profiles on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. If you’re a renter living with a roommate, it’s important to stay informed and to have the right insurance coverage in place.

Heat up your home’s style with a fireplace Now perfect for rentals, these trendy and functional designs offer portability, easy installation and more than just a winter warm-up! By Amanda Forrest

THERE’S NO BETTER TIME OF YEAR to add a fireplace,

thanks to the incredible collection that Dimplex offers. They’re sophisticated and stylish, with many styles offering the function of furniture as well as the allure of flames. With the option of turning the heat off or turning the heat up, they’ll make cool days cozy and brighten up warm days without affecting the thermostat.

The world of fireplaces has evolved greatly – there are many wonderful options on the market, but the ease of installation with these Dimplex Fireplace units really impressed me. Generally, they install in minutes with no specialty wiring required, making them perfect for renters, condo owners or homeowners wanting a weekend refresh with big return on their investment. One of the more popular units is the Charlotte Media Unit. It’s easy to see why her style is so popular, she offers dual function as a fireplace and a media console. This creates instant ambiance, provides storage and – because of its dual function – I can easily create a nice furniture grouping around the fireplace without two separate focal points fighting for attention. Charlotte is pre-assembled, making it very easy to get the unit down into a basement or up an elevator. It sets up in minutes. It can accurately reproduce a natural wood-burning fire or gas look and warm up to 1,000 square feet. But not just fire and heat – there are some interesting innovations in this collection, making these enjoyable and easy to integrate into a room. The Opti-myst, for example, is the world’s safest fireplace technology – it actually turns water into flames! This beauty blew me away, I could not believe how real the flames look. As the mist rises up through the bed, light reflects against the water molecules creating a convincing illusion of flames and smoke. It is so life-like in appearance that it is often mistaken for a traditional wood-burning fireplace, yet 100 per cent safe to the touch. This fireplace unit is so flexible it can be installed just about anywhere from a family room to a hotel lobby.

On the note of fireplaces - I can’t resist giving a little mantle styling advice! Here are my top 3 tips to getting the most dramatic look to complement your fireplace: 1 Group art in “threes” using various heights. Keep to complementary colours. 2 Add one sculptural element, like a vase or statue. 3 Layer in some greens for softness.

I like to use river rocks, branches or even faux antler horns to change the look seasonally – so versatile, it’s a fun component to add to a home. Another model that really adds the style factor is IgniteXL. This particular fireplace is the sexiest one of all! One of Dimplex’s premium linear electric fireplaces, it has interchangeable driftwood or diamond-like rocks and is available in lengths up to 100 inches of flawless panoramic flames. This model boasts a “less frame-more flame” for a dramatic focal point. Its sleek lines are perfect for a modern, luxurious look and feel. All of these electric fireplaces allow you to have the ambiance of fire – with or without heat – perfect all year round. With a focus on style, these are decor pieces that offer more than just the functionality of a fireplace.

Advice | THE RENTALIST

Welcome to the future: Rental amenities in 2117 By Jackie Marchildon

YPNEXTHOME.CA

WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE will hold for us

renters. Will communal renting take over? Will houses cease to exist and be replaced with space-age sleeping pods? Will the government step in and take over rental properties one by one? Will the housing crisis finally take over and force everyone to live in glorified tents? The future of rental is anyone’s guess, but here are a few ideas that might just be crazy enough to work. The food replicator In today’s age, we check out the kitchen appliances when we’re looking for a new rental unit. For some, apartment-sized ovens and fridges are deal breakers, while others are satisfied with a hot plate and mini fridge. In years to come, we might be looking more closely at food replicators — machines that will create meals almost instantly! We’ve seen them in all kinds of shows and movies, from Star Trek to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but a reallife company has actually developed something revolutionary. White Innovation has created the Genie — an appliance that allows you to make your selected dish in approximately one minute. The teleportation lounge Another thing renters often struggle with is finding parking. In 2117, we hopefully won’t need to worry about that as much because we could just be able to teleport to one another’s homes! Highrises of the future could include teleportation lounges instead of underground parking — energy efficient, cost effective and faster than driving! The machine that turns garbage into fertilizer Who needs a garburator when your unit could include a trash-reducing-fertilizer-creating device? Imagine being able to turn your trash and recycling into fertilizer for your garden! We’re well on our way with this one thanks to Whirlpool’s futuristic appliance, the Zera Food Recycler. In the future, appliances like this could

be commonplace items in rentals because the world will hopefully be more invested in environmentally friendly concepts. Robots included Nowadays, many of us look for rental prices that include utilities. But what if ‘utilities included’ meant something different in the future? What if your rental unit came equipped with a helpful robot? Your robot could help with the cleaning and upkeep of your rental — all the while keeping your landlord happy as it could control appropriate heat levels, as well as perform the usual tasks required to maintain a rental property. It’s a win-win situation. You might just want to confirm that the robot wouldn’t report everything you do to your landlord… Your privacy might be a little compromised. Furniture of the future You may not want full-scale kitchen appliances like ovens and fridges if you opt for a kitchen with something like a food replicator, which means you would ultimately have more space for furniture. A current annoyance of apartment dwelling is the smaller furniture that can inevitably come along with it. But not in 2117! In 2117, we might have more space due to less appliances and, if we’re lucky, humanity will have created comfortable furniture that can condense and rebuild itself, making for a hassle-free move. Easy to move and comfortable — what more could you ask for from your future furniture?
