re you too busy to manage a home? Perhaps you’ve done the homeownership 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 homeownership days.

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 got some great advice on renting and decorating in the issue.

Check it out! Your new “to-do” list is waiting.

he end of November rolls around and then it’s a holiday marathon that doesn’t stop until we reach the finish line on January 1. Do you realize the convenience that apartment living offers over the holidays?

I don’t want to hear that your apartment is small, you can’t have many people over. Au contraire. I’ve always had the home that was the holiday destination. Whether for a feast or a fête, there’s never been a lack of room – it just takes some planning. I’ve moved the furniture out of the way and rented 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 my dates months in advance. I’ve never had a guest list too large for the party room – 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. 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 last minute driveway to shovel, and most apartments are convenient to public transit so there’s no excuse for guests who don’t drive.

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

Moving etiquette Follow the

golden rule

BY CHUCK R ESNICK

E

ven at the best of times, moving day can be stressful for everyone involved. Whether you are moving into/out of a highrise apartment building, condo, low-rise home or commercial property, a move involves trucks, boxes, packing materials, workers and a certain amount of organized chaos.

As with any major event, preparation is key.

There are certain things to do on moving day to make things go as smoothly as possible. The first is to be sure to bring your manners with you.

5 tips for decorating

small spaces

by LISA CANNING

SMALL SPACES ARE MORE AND MORE COMMON,

and making these spaces work can be a challenge. With careful space planning and ingenious multi-functional products, you can have all the function and style in any square footage.

TIP #1: START WITH A RIGHT-SIZED SOFA The sofa is often a great place to start when planning a small space, as it usually takes up the most mass, and it is also the easiest piece to purchase incorrectly. A sofa that is too large in a given space can feel cumbersome.

Conversely, a sofa that is too small can feel like dollhouse furniture. Luckily, many retailers make it easier to make the right choice by carrying apartment-sized, or condo-appropriate pieces, which are often smaller-scale translations of their most popular lines. And of course, many apartment/condo-sized sofas can also be purchased with a sofa bed option to give you the flexibility of creating a guest room in your small space.

TIP #2: USE CLEAR FURNITURE What’s great about furniture made out of glass or acrylic is that it doesn’t take up much visual space. A ghost chair or a waterfall table will give you an instant modern update and provide great function while keeping the space feeling light. In spaces that have gorgeous large windows, place pieces that are clear directly in front, since they won’t obstruct the view.

TIP #3: WALL-MOUNTED LIGHTING A layered lighting plan is something I always recommend TheRentersGuide.ca to clients, but in a small space this approach is especially advantageous. Rather than opting for a floor lamp with mass, weight and that takes up floor area, sconces give you ambient lighting while saving space. I love the architectural detail sconces provide and often use them on either end of aTheRentersGuide.ca gallery wall or sofa.

TIP #4: WORK WITH PIECES THAT ARE MULTIFUNCTIONAL In a space that might be too small for a home office, or a formal dining room, I have some great innovative products to share. The first is the Functional Coffee Table from BoConcept. At first glance, it looks like a sleek, minimal coffee table. But with an easy lift, it reveals a desk-height table and ample storage. Storage will always be an issue in small spaces, so anything that will serve a function and provide storage is a great addition. Another incredible product on the market is the Lacuna table by VNO Designs. This innovative product begins as a piece of customizable art on the wall. With the release of a latch, the art piece lowers to reveal a concealed leg and becomes a dining table for five. For people who don’t formally entertain often, or for those living in really limited space, this is a unique space-saving solution.

TIP #5: WORK WITH SMART STORAGE SYSTEMS Great interior storage is just as important as utilizing multi-functional storage. Drawer dividers, shelf dividers and small storage boxes are great tools to use to increase your storage space. The more levels you can create within a drawer, the more items can be stored and easily found.

I love using small stackable, acrylic storage compartments to divide my drawers. Style doesn’t stop at the exterior of a piece – allow your furniture to function at its best by investing in interior organization.

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 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 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 an enormous TheRentersGuide.ca 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 TheRentersGuide.ca and greenspace or you need an über-

urban location that puts you at the heart of it all, there’s a Homestead community in the ideal spot. From efficient bachelors and one bedrooms to sprawling three-bedroom suites and townhomes – and everything in between – Homestead has just the size and price range you’re looking for, to accommodate your family and your lifestyle.

finances

How to take finances from mine and yours to ours, at any age Ready to say “I do” to joint finances? Here’s how to combine dollars and cents at any life stage.

F

irst comes love, and then comes…a joint bank account.

Whether a couple is cohabitating in their twenties, getting married in their thirties, or remarrying in their sixties, at some point in any serious relationship the conversation about joint finances will surface. Regardless of life stage, successfully integrating finances requires open and honest communication to determine how to best combine and plan for the future together.

According to research from TD Canada Trust, which surveyed adults in committed relationships, the top three personal finance products that Canadians combine with their partner are a joint bank account (64 per cent), a mortgage (60 per cent) and a joint credit card (50 per cent), compared to only 36 per cent of couples who have a joint financial plan.

“Start by discussing debt, saving, spending habits, financial goals, and credit history to determine if there is anything that may affect the ability to secure future loans together,” said Farrell Jones.“Next, work together to create a household budget that meets the needs of expense and debt management and has a little left over to put towards the collective financial goals.”

“A common first step in combining finances with a partner is a joint account for shared household expenses, and like other aspects of the relationship, communication is key to keeping things harmonious,” said Janice Farrell Jones, TD Canada Trust.“It’s important that both parties have a clear understanding of household finances - from day to day spending to long-term savings and investments - and all aspects of each individuals finances - from everyday banking to credit card management - to set the framework for a strong financial future together.”

Paying down student debt and saving for a home in the future, for example, are common goals for many couples in their 20s. As with any financial goal, it’s important to discuss and align on key considerations like timing, affordability and overall expectations. In the case of home ownership, couples should also make sure they agree on whether they are buying for the long or short-term as it will have a financial impact down the road.

TD Canada Trust provides some advice that may help in maintaining financial harmony when integrating finances with a partner at any life stage: The 20s TheRentersGuide.ca Combining finances is often a first for many couples in their 20s, whether it’s renting an apartment together or working to pay down existing student debt. When and how to share money will always vary depending on an individual couple’s financial situation and relationship, but TheRentersGuide.ca communication is always key.

The 40s Paying down debt, raising kids and saving for retirement with many financial priorities, streamlining is essential for couples looking to combine their finances in their 40s.

“First and foremost, couples at this life-stage should focus on what will make life easier, financially, together,” said Farrell Jones.“Consider working with an expert to make sure each individual financial strategy aligns with the other to maximize savings potential TheRentersGuide.ca and keep all of the household financial priorities on track. Couples can also further streamline by making savings automatic with preauthorized transfers into a TFSA, RSP and a child’s RESP.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

Some couples may choose to merge certain aspects of their finances, while retaining individual accounts for additional saving or discretionary spending. Whether a couple decides to combine everything, keep everything separate, or somewhere in the middle, it’s important that both parties are ultimately working towards the same financial goals.

The 60s Likely, many couples in their 60s have a solid financial base, but with fewer peak income earning years remaining, it’s important to have a clear picture of what retirement looks like and what it will take, financially, to get there.

“Spending time with the grandkids will have a much different price tag than travelling the world, so alignment on the retirement vision is essential,” said Farrell Jones.

“If there is not enough saved for the type of retirement a couple wants, they should work with an expert to help determine how much more needs to be saved and ensure each individual financial plan complements the other to maximize savings and investments.”

Whether married or common-law, couples should also ensure their retirement savings strategy takes advantage of spousal RSP contributions to help reach their retirement goals faster while lowering income taxes now and in retirement.

About the TD Canada Trust Love & Money Poll: TD Bank Group commissioned Environics Research Group (www.environics.ca) to conduct an online custom survey of 4,564 Canadians aged 18 years and older who are currently in a committed/serious relationship. Responses were collected between January 10 and 25, 2013.

About TD Canada Trust: TD Canada Trust offers personal and business banking to more than 11.5 million customers, providing a wide range of products and services from chequing and savings accounts, to credit cards, mortgages and business banking, to credit protection and travel medical insurance, as well as advice on managing everyday finances.
