On the hunt for quality IT’S TRUE THAT LOCATION is very important, but it’s just as important to base your apartment hunt on quality.

Not all landlords and management companies are equal. Some pride themselves in creating a quality experience – proactively fixing things, ensuring resident satisfaction, taking an honest interest in their buildings and striving to provide quality.

Some cities have landlord licensing, and some have quality assurance programs. Both of these can help to give you insight into the quality of your prospective new apartment, but

+ get social 8

when it comes down to it, it doesn’t take a private eye to figure out the good from the bad. Google is also your friend – search the address, search the building name, search the property management company. Like what you see? When at the property, just ask residents. People love to complain as much as they love to brag. They’ll often give you the inside scoop – and that’s what you want!

IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO LIVE in a trendy neighbourhood with great transit access, lots of amenities and located near the lake, you’ll want to head to Parkdale and take a look at Darwood Court, managed by MetCap Living.

The location couldn’t be better. Two buildings, located at 40 and 60 Tyndall Ave., are in the best spot to take advantage of all the area has to offer. King Street offers shops and services, including necessities such as the grocery store, banks and more.

Just north on Queen Street you’ll find some of the trendiest spots in town, from nightlife to dining to indie boutiques. It’s a great mix of modern and longstanding businesses, giving the area a real eclectic flavour.

To the south you’ll find the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) grounds, including BMO Field, which offers numerous sporting events. There are shows all year round with festivals and events, including the CNE, where the fair grounds, rides, games and food can’t be missed! Beyond that lies the lake. Whether it’s strolling, blading, biking the Martin Goodman Trail, getting on the water to row, paddle board or frolic, or if it’s just hitting the sand and enjoying beach life, you’re only minutes away.

Liberty Village, located east of the community, offers more in the way of great

dining, shopping and nightlife, plus a strong and growing business community.

It’s all within walking distance of Darwood Court, making this a perfect live-work-play community. For commuters, there’s 24-hour streetcar service along King Street, the GO station is just minutes away and easy access to Lake Shore Boulevard and the Gardiner Expressway will get you anywhere you want to go. Frequent fliers will love being so close to Billy Bishop Airport.

Families will appreciate the schools, recreation facilities and child-friendly amenities in the area, from playgrounds and parks to daycares, pools and more.

The buildings, managed by MetCap Living, offer spacious bachelor, one- and two-bedroom apartments that are well laid out, with plenty of storage. Kitchens have been updated with stainless steel appliances and modern cabinetry. Onsite parking is available, and modern laundry facilities operate on a SmartCard. MetCap Living’s onsite management is professional and friendly – available to ensure you enjoy a great rental experience.

ONTARIO IS MAKING IT EASIER for cyclists to commute to and from work, school and appointments with the construction of new, secure bike storage lockers at GO Transit stations and car pool lots across southern Ontario. This investment is part of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan and is funded by proceeds from the province’s cap on pollution and carbon market.

Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca and Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Eleanor McMahon were in Burlington recently to launch the new Commuter Bike Parking Program, which will help encourage people to take their bikes as part of their daily commute. nexthome.ca

Family structure PARKDALE COMES AS CLOSE to

anyone’s definition of eclectic and historical as it can get. Located in the west end of Toronto’s Queen Street West corridor, this neighbourhood is bounded by Roncesvalles Ave. in the west, the Canadian Pacific rail line in the north end, Dufferin St. in the east, and hugged by the Gardiner Expressway to the south.

This neighbourhood was an A-list address to some of the wealthiest Victorians of their time. Dating back 136 years, today this primarily residential area is a vibrant and diverse community, and its popularity as a trendy neighbourhood is growing.

The area showcases a collective of artists, funky cafes, ethnic restaurants, quaint B&Bs, vintage galleries, farmer’s markets and one-of-a-kind shops. The community supports local revitalization projects like the Urban Garden Development Project, and the Westend Food Coop connecting local

farmers and suppliers to local eaters.

The area includes Parkdale Junior and Senior Public School, and the historical Parkdale Collegiate Institute.

Little parkettes, Sorauren Park and the West Lodge skate park are other amenities for area kids.

Parkdale is a bike-, foot- and transit-friendly neighbourhood with TTC streetcar stops every few hundred metres, connecting to the subway. The Gardiner Expressway and Lakeshore Blvd. are very easily accessed from here. There is a neighbourhood GO station, plus Billy Bishop Airport is fairly close by.

The area has been in transition, with an abundance of hipsters and independents moving in and taking things up a notch or two. Many of the old shops and mom’n’pop food stops are being replaced by trendy and more expensive options catering to the cool crowd.

Advice | MONEY MATTERS

Gail’s guide to building a budget

By Gail Vaz-Oxlade

MORE ADVICE ONLINE nexthome.ca/news/advice

OVER AND OVER AGAIN PEOPLE tell

me they don’t know how to make a budget. It doesn’t matter how many articles they read, how many worksheets they download off the web, how many times they try, they just can’t do it.

Once I started doing the show ‘Til Debt Do Us Part and introduced the magic jars, people headed out to buy their own. But they still couldn’t figure out how much money to put in them.

So I’ve created a step-by-step plan for all those who wish to follow it.

Using this plan and Gail’s Interactive Budget Worksheet, you can build a budget that will not only tell you how you’re doing, but also how much to stick in the jars if you’ve decided to live on cash.

Okay, here we go. #01 On the budget worksheet, fill in all the amounts under income. You’ll need your “gross” income and your “net” income.

If you make $60,000 a year gross, you would enter 60,000/12 (which is $60,000 divided by 12.) Ditto your monthly net income.

Careful now, if you’re paid on any other schedule you have to use your lowest monthly income as your base, and use any extra money you receive to boost your planned spending (for things such as furniture acquisitions, vacations, and the like). #02 Enter any other sources of income you may have. You must use “monthly” amounts. So if you 24

average $6,000 in annual child support received, you would enter $500 for your monthly amount. If you receive income that is irregular – think annual bonus – do not enter it under income. Why? Well, if you bank on getting it and you don’t you’ll be SOL. Better to use that money for things like gifts, vacations, and other extras, things you don’t have to pay for if the bonus doesn’t materialize.

#03 Now it’s time for the fixed expenses. Get out your last bank statement(s). Based on what you spent last month, fill in the fixed expenses. Don’t worry if the numbers seem high at first, just put in what you spent last month, based on what went out of your bank account. #04 We’re going to skip down to Saving now. Yep, you have to save.

Don’t bother arguing, you have

nexthome.ca

2017-09-13 11:38 AM

You’ll see that the budget automatically calculated how much must go into each of your jars each week/ month if you plan to live on cash. under Variable Expenses. If you find you’re left with $20 a month for groceries and you know that just won’t do, then you have two choices: {1} You can go back and cut expenses.

Even up in fixed expenses you can find places to cut like cell phone or cable. {2} You can make more money. Work harder, work smarter. Get a second job, a third job, a better job.

That’s your budget.

to save. I want you to divide your monthly income by 100 and multiply your answer by five. There, that’s five per cent, and it’s the minimum you should be saving. Ultimately, you need to save 10 per cent, but let’s start with five per cent and work from there. Under “emergency” enter $100. #05 Next we’ll do debt repayment.

Add up your monthly debt repayment amounts. Include what you’re

spending to repay everything except your mortgage and your car loan/ lease. Put it under “debt repayment.” #06 You’re doing great. Now look at the bottom line on the budget – the line that says, “income – expenses.”

What do you have left? Whatever it is that’s what you have to work with to budget for your variable expenses.

Yep. That’s it. Go ahead and divvy up the money in the various categories

Two more things: » You’ll see that the budget automatically calculated how much must go into each of your jars each week/month if you plan to live on cash. » You’ll also see your percentages automatically calculated. The financial rule of thumb says you shouldn’t spend more than 35 per cent of your net income on housing. (That includes mortgage/rent, condo fees/maintenance, property tax and utilities.) If you’re spending more than 35 per cent, either you can look for ways to cut back on your housing costs, you can make more money, or you can trim in other areas (like transportation) so you end up balancing at the bottom line.

It’s your money. You can do anything you want with it except spend more than you make.

Okay, now that you have a budget, you have no excuses. Get out of debt. Live within your means.

Make me proud.

Ontario’s Fair Housing Plan protecting student renters THERE WERE 600,000 COLLEGE and university students that went back to school this fall, and Ontario has taken steps to protect those renting off-campus from unfair rent increases and evictions.

As part of its Fair Housing Plan, Ontario has expanded rent control to all private market rental units across the province to protect tenants from unfair rent increases.

Students living off-campus, including in condominiums, basement apartments, and houses will have their rent capped at the annual rent increase guideline of 1.8 per cent in 2018.

Students should also know that: • As of Sept. 1, if the landlord wants the unit for their own use, a close family member’s or caregiver’s use, they must give the tenant one month’s rent or offer them another acceptable unit – and they can’t rerent it for a year • Landlords are responsible for maintenance, but tenants have to keep the place clean • Renters have to give landlords 60 days’ notice before they move out if they are on a monthly or fixed term lease • A landlord can’t ban pets or guests, but if renting a condo, tenants have to follow any rules set under the Condominium Act Open communication with a landlord can help prevent problems. Here are some more tips to help maintain a smooth relationship with a landlord: • Know the rights and responsibilities of tenants • Ask for a written lease – student renters should make sure they understand it before signing anything • Keep copies of any documents shared with a landlord 30

As part of its Fair Housing Plan, Ontario has expanded rent control to all private market rental units across the province to protect tenants from unfair rent increases.

If a dispute can’t be resolved with a landlord, student renters can contact the Landlord and Tenant Board. For serious issues such as illegal evictions or disconnecting vital services like water, heat or electricity, contact Ontario’s Rental Housing Enforcement Unit.

Protecting student renters is part of Ontario’s plan to create jobs, grow the economy and help people in their everyday lives.

QUICK FACTS • The Residential Tenancies Act applies to the majority off-campus housing.

• All private rental units in Ontario are subject to rent control, including those first occupied on or after Nov. 1, 1991.

• Ontario is making college and university tuition free for more than 210,000 students.

“Our government is committed to protecting Ontario’s students from unfair rent increases and evictions,” says Peter Milczyn, minister of housing and minister responsible for the Poverty Reduction Strategy.

“Students face a whole host of challenges as they embark on the next phase of their lives – new friends, new responsibilities and a new place to call home. Knowing their rights and responsibilities as renters helps to ease the transition, while allowing them to keep focused on what matters most – getting a great education to help secure an even brighter future.”

Ontario curbing abuse of unlawful evictions Province delivering stronger protections for tenants

THE PROVINCE IS INCREASING

security and peace of mind for renters by placing new requirements on the circumstances in which landlords can evict tenants.

Effective Sept. 1, 2017, when a landlord ends a tenancy so that they or a family member can use a rental unit, landlords must: • Provide one month’s rent to the tenant as compensation or offer the tenant another acceptable rental unit.

• Express intent to occupy the unit for at least one year. If the landlord advertises, re-rents or demolishes or converts the unit within one year, she or he will be considered 34

to have acted in bad faith unless they can prove otherwise, and could face a fine of up to $25,000.

The new measures will help protect tenants by discouraging landlords from unlawfully evicting them, whether for conversion of the unit into a short-term rental or immediately rerenting it at a higher rate.

These changes build on other protections for tenants under the Fair Housing Plan such as the expansion of rent control to all private rental units, including those first occupied on or after Nov. 1, 1991.

Making rental housing fairer and more accessible for tenants is part of Ontario’s plan to create jobs, grow

the economy and help people in their everyday lives.

QUICK FACTS • Under the changes, only individual landlords, not corporations, can end tenancies under the “landlord’s own use” provision.

• It is an offence under the Residential Tenancies Act for a landlord to knowingly end a tenancy by giving notice in bad faith. A conviction for this offence can result in a fine of up to $25,000 for an individual.

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

A DESIGN

By Sara Duck

2

For more than 40 years, IKEA has inspired Canadians. With the launch of its latest catalogue for 2018, we explore what makes this iconic brand as relevant now as it was when it opened its first store here in 1976

1 3

CAN YOU THINK BACK to your first IKEA purchase? Maybe it was a BILLY bookcase for your dorm room or a POÄNG armchair for the den. For me, it was a set of black leather KRAMFORS sofas. My husband and I felt like our newlywed pad was complete with our cool new Scandi decor. Can you relate?

Whatever your first IKEA product was, it likely wasn’t your last. For many of us, IKEA products are as comforting as a Tim’s double-double and honey cruller. But, how exactly has Scandinavian design been able 36

to become a signature in Canadian homes? The answer lies at the core of the company’s mission – to create simple products people love.

“It doesn’t matter if your style preference is modern or traditional, our products are streamlined and simplistic in design, which lends for easy integration into any home,” says Kathy Davey, head of interior design, IKEA Canada.

When you really break it down, isn’t it the simplistic nature of IKEA that keeps drawing us back to shop? The uncluttered displays in the showroom,

steady price points, DIY-approach, peace of mind warranty and uncomplicated food offerings all help to make IKEA an easy and favoured shopping destination for Canadians.

Along with its unequivocal design principles, IKEA prides itself on extensive market research to keep relevant in today’s market. For Davey and her team, it’s all about the “home visit.” She will travel to homes across the country, spending two to three hours at a time talking with the homeowners. The mission is to leave no stone unturned – going

through every door and drawer (if the homeowners allow it!) to get to the bottom of what they love and loathe about each space, and their future dreams for their home.

“We could visit model homes or homes without the owners there, but that doesn’t mean anything to us,” says Davey. “We want to talk to people and find out who they are, how they live and what they want.”

From coast to coast, Davey and her team will conduct 250 home visits in Canada this year. The end result is detailed, on-the-ground

KD: The Brady Bunch living room! I would love to transform their space from 1969 into 2018!

They are a large blended family that live in a modern home that has some great features to start with. There are so many activities going on under one roof that the space would need to be truly multi-functional to reflect their busy lifestyle.

With the two main trends of today influencing life at home in the living room – urbanization and technology – there could be endless possibilities to design a living room that works for everyone. The sofas would be arranged in different zones in the middle of the room which leaves space on the walls for personalization and self-expression. The living room would be the hub for the family’s social playground and celebrations, and smart devices will enable a liquid life, so there is no need to anchor activities around a TV or computer. The sofa is still the soul of the living room – which would speak to comfort and relaxation.

This would be a hard-working room and the heart of their everyday life at home. It would be bold, brave and beautiful, mixing modern and traditional styles breaking the conventional approach to the living room.

research to help better design stores and products tailored to different provinces, cities and customers.

“It’s all about meeting the needs of our customers as soon as they walk into their local IKEA,” says Davey.

Besides addressing the needs of its customers in-store, IKEA releases an inspiring catalogue each year (online and in print, delivered to your door) with a specific theme.

This year, it’s “Make Room for Life” – the brand hopes to encourage people to make room in life for the things they love, with the help of

smart furnishing solutions.

“Encouraging people to embrace the fluidity of their homes through their unconventional spaces and multi-purpose furnishings, is our goal,” says Davey. “We want people to realize that the living room has space for both their needs and their dreams.”

With this type of customer driven dedication that IKEA continues to deliver, it’s no doubt that Canadians will happily continue shopping (and consuming Swedish meatballs) for another 40 years.

Advice | MOVING

Research movers

before you hire

MORE ADVICE ONLINE nexthome.ca/news/advice

By Chuck Resnick

HIRING THE RIGHT MOVING COMPANY

can save you lots of work, stress and headaches in the long run.

Industry professionals are accustomed to handling all kinds of moves, from apartments to homes and offices small and large. We understand how to pack, mark and transport items of all shapes, sizes and levels of fragility. We appreciate the importance of what we do, because people’s “stuff” is so much more to them than a collection of items. It represents their lifestyle, memories, emotional connections and fun. Although many consumers move themselves and do a good job of it, enlisting professional movers is the choice of many others. However, you do want to be careful that the company you hire is above board and upholds strict standards.

How can you tell?

Do your research by asking questions: Is the company a member

of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM)? This organization exists to help people find reputable movers they can trust. To explore a company’s reputation, you can also contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and your provincial government’s consumer protection agency. Visit Mover.net to learn more about what CAM has to say – the first three things listed are: • 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.

If a company representative does not know how to answer your questions or glosses over them, a red flag should go up.

Communication is the number-one factor in a successful move. At Two Men and a Truck – Canada, we have a Consumer Bill of Rights, the only

one in the Canadian moving industry.

We also have a list of questions to consider when consumers are thinking about hiring a mover.

Of particular importance are the financial considerations. For example, does the company have a minimum charge, and how are you charged after that minimum is met? Will you be charged for fuel or travel time to and from their office to your home or business? Will there be a fuel surcharge or a stairs or long-distance walk charge if they have to park the truck some distance from your door?

Is there a deposit required, and what kinds of payment options are available? Do they offer free quotes?

How do they arrive at a valuation that is covered by insurance? Does the mover have advice for how you can reduce your costs? It is also important to ask if they employ full-time workers or use temps and day labour, and whether their employees are covered

by Worker’s Compensation. Are their movers trained in how to pack and move carefully and efficiently?

Ask how to contact the firm’s office during moving day, in case there are issues. If all the representative offers is a cell phone number, be suspicious. In fact, it’s a good idea to visit the movers’ office to make sure it exists. Remember, anyone can make anything seem real on a website.

It’s best for everyone involved to have a moving contract that outlines what is expected. Read it and ask questions about anything you don’t understand.

Hiring a company you can trust makes for a more comfortable, less stressful and successful move.
