Make a splash IT’S TIME FOR SOME summer fun.

One of the reasons you picked your apartment was for the outdoor pool, and for the next two months you’ll be making a splash.

While you likely didn’t make the choice to move solely based on having a swimming pool for two months a year, thinking about your new apartment in terms of seasonal needs is a very good idea.

Location, price and size are all important, but it’s the amenities that make for an amazing lifestyle.

Other amenities you may want to consider are air conditioning, tennis

and basketball courts, a playground, a barbecue area and outdoor terraces or lounges to enjoy.

In the winter, those may not be important, but think about things like underground parking so that you never have to de-ice your windshield or dig your car out just to leave home.

Rental living is what you make of it, so choose the lifestyle you want – there’s no reason you shouldn’t spend your summer by the pool!

For more rental living insight and advice, read on this issue – check out NextHome.ca and get ready to make your move.

A LARGE PART OF NORTH YORK,

Willowdale is an affluent community centred around Yonge St. from Steeles Ave. down to the 401, and from Bayview to Senlac Rd. It has gained in popularity as its amenities continue to grow and new condo development changes its landscape.

It’s prized for being located on the subway lines, and offers easy access to all parts of the city.

Willowdale hosts great events throughout the year like Fall Fair, Earth Day and Trail of Lights. The park will be extended and dedicated to the arts, incorporating art installations and a performance space.

Being a perfect blend of suburban and urban, Willowdale offers the best of both worlds. People often distinguish between eastern and western parts and the vibe varies depending on where you are.

Willowdale East is more city-like and has an abundance of restaurants, pubs and cafés in the area. It has a denser population than its western counterpart.

Willowdale is currently home to more than 79,000 people. The majority of residents fall within the 25 to 54 age bracket with a skew toward 44 to 54. The area has an extremely diverse population, with two-thirds

of the residents first-generation Canadians.

Willowdale gets a huge nod for accessibility. Buses run frequently and connect you to all subway lines, with both the Yonge and the Sheppard lines at the heart of the community.

Viva and York Region Transits serve Willowdale. The subway station and GO transit bus terminal are located on Yonge Street and Finch Ave.

Ontario capping rent increases at 1.8 per cent in 2018 Expanded Rent Control intended to keep rentals fair and affordable for more people

ONTARIO’S EXPANSION OF RENT

control to all private market rental housing units across the province means that 250,000 more tenants will receive protection from unfair rent increases, and will have their rent capped at the annual rent increase guideline of 1.8 per cent in 2018.

The rent increase guideline is the maximum landlords can raise a tenant’s rent without the approval of the Landlord and Tenant Board.

It is applicable to rent increases between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2018.

The guideline is based on the Ontario Consumer Price Index, a measure of inflation calculated by Statistics Canada that reflects economic conditions over the past year.

“The expansion of rent control across our province has ensured that 250,000 more people are 20

now protected from unfair and unpredictable rent increases,” says Chris Ballard, Minister of Housing and Minister Responsible for the Poverty Reduction Strategy. “When I speak to Ontarians, the impact is clear – by making the housing system

fairer, we’re ensuring that everyone in Ontario has the peace of mind they need to put down roots in the communities they love.”

The recently-passed Rental Fairness Act, 2017 expanded rent control to all private rental units, including those occupied on or after November 1, 1991. For rent increase notices given on or after April 20, 2017, landlords cannot raise rents more than the rent increase guideline.

Expanding rent control and strengthening protections for tenants are key components of Ontario’s Fair Housing Plan, to help more people find an affordable place to call home.

Keeping rental housing affordable and predictable while making the rental housing system fairer is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.

“The expansion of rent control is already making an enormous realworld difference in my community of Davenport, creating more predictability and affordability for residents so that they can continue to build a good life for their families,” says MPP Cristina Martins.

Fast facts • The annual rent increase guideline is capped at a maximum of 2.5 per cent and applies to private residential rental accommodations covered by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.

• The guideline is not applicable to: Vacant residential units, social housing units, nursing homes or commercial property.

• Landlords can continue to apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board for above-guideline rent increases [PDF], where permitted.

• The annual guideline for a calendar year is the percentage change from year-to-year in the Consumer Price Index for all goods and services. It is averaged over the 12-month period from June to May of the year prior to when the guideline is to be made effective.

• There are approximately 1.2 million private rental households in Ontario.

Province unveils new urban greenspace to celebrate Ontario’s 150th Anniversary FOR THE FIRST TIME in more than

40 years, Ontario residents and visitors can enjoy a spectacular part of Toronto’s waterfront at Ontario Place’s newly opened park and trail.

Premier Kathleen Wynne and Eleanor McMahon, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, were at Ontario Place recently to unveil the new Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail, and officially open them to the public. The opening is the first milestone in the province’s plan to transform the iconic landmark into a vibrant, year-round destination for people of all ages.

As progress on Ontario Place continues, the site will be at the centre of the action as the province celebrates Ontario’s 150th anniversary, a year-long celebration that aims to honour Ontario’s past, showcase the present and inspire future generations.

“More than 45 years ago, Ontario Place opened as a testament to our province’s potential. Beyond realizing this potential, we have continued to expand it — welcoming new people and building on new ideas,” said Premier Wynne. “Our vision for a transformed Ontario Place honours our history, our people and our landscape. I am so pleased that a new generation can begin to build memories here.”

To create the new Trillium Park, a seven-and-a-half acre parking lot was converted into green space using ideas from people across Ontario. The new site features an open-air pavilion inspired by evergreen forests and Ontario Place’s unique design, as well as open spaces to host art fairs, film festivals, yoga classes, school groups and food vendors.

b

Fast facts • Key design elements reflect the site’s Indigenous heritage, which is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation.

• A continuous route of more than 2,000 kilometres in Ontario, the Trans Canada Trail includes the Martin Goodman Trail and the Pan Am Path.

• In celebration of Ontario’s 150th anniversary, Ontario Place is hosting a themed event every long weekend this summer.

• Every year, Ontario’s festivals and events attract tourists, support tens of thousands of jobs and generate millions of dollars in revenue.

The William G. Davis Trail, named for Ontario’s Premier at the time of Ontario Place’s opening in 1971, is a 1.3 km-long trail that connects the new park to the Trans Canada Trail. Other highlights of the park include: • The Ravine with Moccasin Identifier: Developed in collaboration with the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, a moccasin etching in this gateway to the park provides a visual reminder to celebrate and honour the history and culture of Indigenous peoples • The Bluff: Stacked boulders and rocks from a Muskoka quarry are located along the trail, symbolizing the prehistoric Lake Iroquois shoreline.

That spot in your apartment:

The original Bunz Trading Zone

By Jackie Marchildon IF YOU’VE EVER RENTED BEFORE,

especially in a building, you might remember (either fondly or with hate) that one spot where everyone left their disregarded items. They weren’t necessarily unwanted items, in fact oftentimes they were great household objects that just weren’t needed anymore. Some might even say it was the original Bunz Trading Zone – a popular and fast-growing online barter/trade site – albeit without the actual meet up and trade.

Even before Bunz, there were other sites that helped people get rid of their stuff. Freecycle, for example, allows you to join or start a local …continued on page 34 JUL 8 - 22, 2017 | RENTERS GUIDE

2017-07-05 11:31 AM

…continued from page 33

group, post items you no longer want and look for items you might need, but trading is not allowed. The free stuff section on Craigslist is another example. Bunz, Freecycle and Craigslist are all great ways to find some free stuff, but it’s not quite the same. Arguably it’s much better than having a ‘donations’ bag hanging around the apartment half full, waiting to be filled in order to warrant a trip to the drop-off donation site.

Lifelong renters often claim that renting is a lifestyle. Renters that hate being renters probably disagree.

But even if renting is a stopover for you before homeownership, it really does offer a sort of unique lifestyle for a few reasons – one being that specific “spot.”

While you still have access to neighbourhood groups, curbside finds and online trading groups when you own a home, the rental “spot” is different and pretty unique to renters.

If you’ve never rented, this probably sounds like dumpster diving, but it’s not – it’s an unspoken trade really.

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

Even in a big city like Hogtown, that special spot flourishes and reminds us that while we may not know all of our neighbours well, we know we like their stuff. My apartment’s spot is just outside our gate – and occasionally inside the gate if it’s a particularly good item.

Almost every time I place something there – from worn-out Sperrys to glassware to empties – it’s gone within the hour.

The spot also makes it easy to get rid of clutter. Instead of holding on to unnecessary items, I just leave my stuff in that spot and it’s done – no second guessing. City living often

means tight quarters, so the more often you purge, the better.

If you’ve never rented, this probably sounds like dumpster diving, but it’s not – it’s an unspoken trade really. I leave that IKEA lamp I don’t want anymore that is just the thing someone else needs, and sometime down the line, I’ll likely score a new printer. It’s an unspoken bond that renters share, and we may all hate certain things about renting, but this is surely something we can all agree to love.

You know the spot. What have you left for your neighbours? What have you found for yourself?

Advice | NEWS & VIEWS

Go ahead, make your move

By Lydia McNutt

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

MOVING IS A BITTER-SWEET

milestone that can stir up a storm of emotions. For me, among the excitement and anticipation was frustration.

I’ll admit that I haven’t changed homes very many times in my life. I can count my moves on one hand – the most recent one involving a new town, a toddler, two cats, a dog and the kitchen sink. After going through the process of packing, clearing and cleaning a whole house worth of stuff – or “junk,” as my husband affectionately calls it – I can honestly say that moving has officially earned top spot on my list of “most-hatedthings-to-do.”

Don’t get me wrong. I love the idea of a new home, a fresh start and a clean slate. It’s the physical move that doesn’t agree with me.

The fact that we opted for a doit-yourself move didn’t help matters.

Further complicating things, my home sale and purchase closed on the same day. Between running to my lawyer’s office, renting vans – yes, plural – packing up the last of our stuff, moving out and moving in, it was a hectic day to say the least.

Sure, a do-it-yourself move gives you some control – of your stuff, your timing and the costs. That is, unless you’ve made some errors in judgment, in which case, all that goes out the window.

You’ve “eyeballed” your house and its contents, and you’ve chosen a truck that should be big enough.

But half-way through loading it, you realize you’ve only packed a quarter of your belongings. Change of plans. Now your options include 42

renting a second truck, making 20 trips to Mom and Dad’s place with your compact car filled to the brim, or getting rid of a lot of stuff. It’s not a decision you want to make at the last minute. That’s when it hits you – you’re not prepared.

In this scenario, a professional moving company is worth every penny.

Many movers offer services far beyond just loading boxes and driving them across town. Movers can help you plan your whole move, pack, and even unpack your items.

They will assess the size of truck you’ll need, the amount of packing materials and what type, and they know how to handle awkward and heavy pieces that might otherwise leave you scratching your head.

Professional movers know to expect the unexpected, ensuring you’re not stuck at crunch time.

When you’re shopping for a moving company, don’t expect to find one at the last minute – especially if you’re moving during the summertime, as many Canadians also are. Do your research and hire a reputable company well in advance, to ensure their availability.

The Canadian Association of Movers offers some tips when shopping for a moving company: » Find reputable movers through the Canadian Association of Movers. » Check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and/or your provincial government’s consumer protection agency. » Ask three movers for estimates in writing. » Get the terms and conditions of your move in writing. » Ensure you know how your goods will be protected for loss or damage.

The next time I move – which won’t be for a very, very long time – I will seriously consider hiring a professional mover to literally shoulder some of the burden.

1. Black Camel

served bone-in and seasoned with their signature dry rub. Slowly cooked for 10 hours, it is then hand pulled and doused in their famous Lou Dawg’s Original BBQ Sauce.

4 Crescent Rd. Black Camel’s pulled pork sandwich takes days to prepare. Pork shoulder is seasoned with a selection of spices and herbs, then marinated for three days before slowly cooking for 12 hours. The result: one of the best sandwiches in Toronto!

3. Leslieville Pumps

2. Lou Dawg’s Southern

4. Beer Bistro

76 Gerrard St. E. The pulled pork at Lou Dawg’s is

18 King St. E. Found on the lunch menu, Beer Bistro’s pulled pork is beer braised

Sandwiches

929 Queen St. E. “The Pumps” pulled pork is some of the best in Toronto. The sweetness comes from an house-made barbecue sauce, while the smokiness is due to the slow and low cooking to get the pork just right.

and smoked in-house. Topped with gouda, the sandwich is served with potatoes and coleslaw. Complement with a bold brew such as Shillow Beer Co.’s Bitter Waitress.

5. Uncle Betty’s Restaurant 2590 Yonge St. Uncle Betty’s Southern-style pulled pork is tender and full with flavour.

Smoked low and slow it is served on a toasted buttered bun with a scoop of house-made coleslaw.
