EDITOR’S NOTE

A NEW YEAR AND A NEW RENT INCREASE GUIDELINE It’s no secret that the cost of almost everything we need and use is going up, even basics like food and rent. So it comes as no surprise that the government of Manitoba released its 2020 guideline for landlords who wish to issue increases on their rental properties.

We all have expenses, including landlords, and rent increases help them to maintain their properties in good condition, so it’s hard to argue against the necessity of issuing a maximum rent increase guideline. This year, it has been set at 2.4 per cent. To find out how the guideline is determined, turn to page 24 and learn more about how a rent increase can affect you.

Switching gears to the flip side of rising costs is saving money. We’ve done our research and come up with eight great tips on how you can save energy in your rental and put more moula in your pocket. Check it out on page 42 and see which ones you can start doing right away.

Meanwhile, we’ve got you covered on home safety, tenants’ insurance, how to not get evicted and your rights when it comes to privacy. So, settle in with your favourite hot bevvie, check out the great apartments for rent, and ‘read all about it’ in this issue of Renters Guide.

LUXURY, URBAN LIVING AT 300 ASSINIBOINE The breathtaking views from this grand gathering place will astonish and welcome you. The highrise building at 300 Assiniboine is a flagship for modern urban living, moored right along the Assiniboine River near the Forks, bordered by the river trail and Bonnycastle Park.

Reside in the heart of Winnipeg, still surrounded by greenspace and within walking distance to major shopping centres, transportation and attractions like museums, fine dining and nightlife. The Forks Market, the internationally known Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the historic Exchange District are all within reach, and 300 Assiniboine is a short distance to most downtown venues. The Assiniboine Riverwalk weaves with the waves right at the foot of the building. Travel back in time with the Oodena Celebration Circle, visit the urban garden, or take a water bus; the best of Winnipeg is right outside the door.

Anyone seeking to experience open-concept, luxury living will be impressed by all the building 6 Renters Guide | Jan. 17–31, 2020

amenities, such as a fitness room for workouts around your schedule, a community room for group activities and festive occasions, furnished guest suites to accommodate visitors and premium underground parking.

Three centrally located elevators will efficiently move you to your destination, and extra storage lockers are available for out-ofseason belongings. For added security, the entrance next to the atrium in the main floor lobby has a security guard, and there is a 24hour interactive security system in place. For any other emergencies, a resident manager also resides on site.

Suites in this 25-storey building are available in one- and twobedroom designs, with or without a den. There are also townhouse layouts on the main level with separate access off Assiniboine Avenue. Each unit features its own in-suite laundry, plenty of storage, forced-air heating and cooling, and a spacious kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances. The

modern sleek designs are airy and light, with floor-to-ceiling windows to take advantage of sweeping river and city views. Tower unit sizes range between 932 and 2,088 sq. ft., offering many layout options to suit your family size. The townhouses are extremely comfortable, some encompassing two levels, with between 1,625 and 1,644 sq. ft. of space. Along with high-speed internet service and interactive security, suites also offer either a balcony or private terrace to take in the surrounding landscape and ambiance of the city. Imagine the refuge offered in the middle of a busy city, yet still accessible to all the necessities for work and play.

This bright beacon of light towers above the treeline like an emerald elm among prairie grass.

And like the luxury it represents, 300 Assiniboine is a home where community and career can come together, where paths and points of light converge; a place to be present at the top of the trees and observe all that is. 300 Assiniboine, a place for living.

ADVICE | quICk tIps

FInd the rIght ContaInEr hellen Buttigieg Need help clearing clutter and creating a cleaner look? Use boxes. But be aware – not all boxes are created equal. Some are for storing, some for sorting, and some for showcasing.

For storage, boxes should be strong and sturdy, and don’t forget to label them. For sorting, make sure they’re big enough, but not too cumbersome to carry from room to room. For showcasing, make sure they’re stylish.

Create both impact and a sense of calm by choosing baskets or boxes in a similar

style to use throughout your home. Whether you like wicker or leather, brightly coloured or neutral, consider buying extras as you may not be able to find the same ones again later.

Anytime you have a vast open storage area (i.e. toy chest), think of creative ways to subdivide it to keep it organized. Break big areas into smaller ones by using containers of various sizes. You can reuse the packages that regular household items come in: Tissue boxes, cheque boxes and baby-wipe containers. In addition, you can subdivide using drawer dividers, shelves and stacking trays.

If your collections are hidden away in a musty basement or forgotten in the corner of your

closet, they’re clutter. Collections have their place, but they need to be displayed in a way that reflects their meaning to you. Small items can be mounted and framed in shadow boxes, which can hang on the wall or sit on a table. Larger items stay dust-free when they’re displayed in a shelving unit with glass doors.

CONSTRUCTION IS OVER

There are many good reasons to rent instead of buy your first residence.

You may not have accumulated enough cash to use as a down payment. With renting, there is no large down payment to be paid up front. You only need your first and last months’ rent.

Renting always costs less than owning. While monthly mortgage payments might be comparable to rent, as an owner, you will also have to pay property taxes, all maintenance expenses (either

monthly maintenance payments in a condo, or all costs of repairs and maintenance in a house).

Many apartments include utilities or hydro in the rent, and when owning, you would also have to pay an additional amount for these services. What about insurance?

Tenants’ insurance is always less expensive than the cost of insuring your own home.

Another good reason for renting is that it can offer all of the benefits of living in a prime neighbourhood – one that you likely couldn’t afford to buy in – such as convenience to transportation, shopping, recreation facilities, etc., along with condo-quality amenities at a

DECOR

resolutions

BY SARA DUCK

Stuck in a decorating rut? We hear you. Be resolved to follow these five decor resolutions for your best living space yet.

Mixing textures Afraid of mixing textures? Don’t be.

You can create a balanced look in any space by choosing different finishes on your decor finds. Think satin, velvet, wool, faux-fur and wood on everything from cushions to rugs, thus avoiding a sterile look and creating a custom, unique space. Sofa, table, chair, lamp, rug and wall art from Urban Barn.

Urbanbarn.com

Sustainable life This is your year to live more sustainably. Even small changes to your lifestyle can have a large impact on our Earth. Live Green: 52 steps for a more sustainable life by Jen Chillingsworth will inspire you to live a more environmentally friendly existence. $19. Indigo.ca

16 Renters Guide | Jan. 17–31, 2020

Plant love Do you covet your friend’s succulent sanctuary? It’s time to create your own plant family! Did you know that plants can provide a calmer space and clean the air?

Those are just a few bonuses.

Remember to choose plants according to your decor aesthetic and lifestyle (cacti if you are an avid traveller) and enjoy a little bit of the outdoors, inside. We suggest starting with one plant at a time. We love the way the plant pictured is incorporated with the decor. It’s the perfect shelfie. Jars, mugs, bowls and artwork from HomeSense. Homesense.ca

Pastel power While dark and dramatic colours certainly have their place, pasteltoned hues help create a relaxed atmosphere at home, and who doesn’t need that these days? If you are a little skeptical, avoid painting your entire living room Millennial pink and instead, opt for decorative objects and textiles in softer shades to incorporate this look. Visto blush dinnerware.

Crateandbarrel.ca

Local artisanal touches Support local small businesses by shopping for decor and lifestyle products in your community. Not only is this great for the environment (smaller carbon footprint), it also allows for the flow of money back into the community, plus you can pick up some super cool one-of-a-kind pieces to furnish your pad! Solid, wormy maple dining table with satin poly finish. $1,500. Knottys.ca

adVice | renters’ help

MoVIng on, MoVIng out: Keep it clean When your tenancy is over, you’ll obviously want your deposit back. If you have left the unit clean, undamaged and have no outstanding rent, getting the deposit back is usually a simple process. However, what if there is a disagreement between you and the landlord about the deposit?

In most tenancies, landlords take a security deposit at the beginning of the lease. Before you move in, the Residential Tenancies Branch (RTB) suggests you complete a move-in condition report. This is a detailed report of the condition of the rental unit before the start of your tenancy.

It is a good idea to do the move-out portion of the condition report when you’re ready to leave.

This is a detailed report of the

condition of the unit after you move out your belongings and clean the unit.

If there is a disagreement between you and your landlord over who should get the security deposit, either party can go to the RTB for help. When deciding who should keep the security deposit, the RTB looks at evidence like the condition report and whether the unit was left “ordinarily clean.”

What is ordinarily clean?

Here are some of the areas that need to be cleaned: • Remove dirt and dust from air conditioners, baseboard heaters, fans and vents, and carpets • Clean the stove top, elements and oven, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, dishwasher,

in-suite washer and dryer • Clean bathroom tub/toilet/ shower/cabinets/mirror, etc.

• Wipe out cabinets and cupboards • Wash or damp-mop the floors • Wash scuff marks, fingerprints, food and tar build-up off walls • Make sure curtains are left clean, but only if you deliberately or carelessly stained them • Clean the inside of all windows, the tracks and inside panes of sliding windows If you have questions, speak with your landlord or go to manitoba,ca/rtb.

ADVICE | REntAl nEws

REnt InCREasE 2.4 percent, EffECtIVE Jan. 1, 2020 The new rent increase guideline for Winnipeg – set at 2.4 per cent for 2020 – has been released, effective Jan. 1. Read on to find out more.

Tenants must be given proper written notice at least three months before a rent increase takes effect, so for example, if your landlord wants to increase your rent on Jan. 1, you must receive the notice on, or before, Sept. 30.

The notice your landlord sends you to increase the rent must meet the requirements of The Residential Tenancies Act and your landlord can use a Notice of Rent Increase form available from the RTB. Usually, rents can be increased only once a year.

The rent increase guideline for 2020 is set using a transparent 24 Renters Guide | Jan. 17–31, 2020

method, outlined in the Residential Rent Regulation, and is determined based on the percentage change in the average annual All-Items Consumer Price Index (Manitoba only) data, published by Statistics Canada.

The guideline applies to most rented residential apartments, single rooms, houses and duplexes.

Some units are exempt from Part 9 of The Residential Tenancies Act, and do not have to follow the annual rent increase guideline.

These are: • units renting for $1,545 or more per month as of Dec. 31, 2019 • personal care homes • approved rehabilitated rental units • new buildings less than 15 years old, where an occupancy permit

was first issued or a unit was first occupied after April 9, 2001 • new buildings less than 20 years old where an occupancy permit was first issued or a unit was first occupied after March 7, 2005 Your landlord can apply for a larger increase if he or she can show that the guideline amount will not cover their cost increases.

The economic adjustment factor for 2020 is 1.5 per cent and helps to offset the cost of inflation.

For more information, contact the Residential Tenancies Branch office nearest you.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

AIM FOR A SAFE, SECURE MOVE CHUCK RESNICK When you move, you want your belongings to arrive at their destination safely.

But there are other forms of safety and security to consider.

For example, as items are being transferred to and from the truck, how can you be sure nothing goes missing?

Make sure those involved don’t leave vehicles unattended for too long. This is particularly important when moving in or out of an apartment building, when trips to the elevator may mean those

carrying the items are gone from the moving vehicle for extended periods of time.

Untrained people who help you move may inadvertently cause damage because they lack the know-how to move certain items.

Movers have special packing materials, labels and loading/ unloading techniques in place to protect these cherished pieces.

Moving electronic storage equipment and servers can be tricky. Does your mover have a strategy in place with information security as a goal? It’s also a good idea to have specific items appraised and insured personally to protect them. Create an inventory, take photos and provide a copy to the mover.

Another aspect of a move

is the ability of the drivers. Are they skilled, experienced or even trained to drive the vehicle safely?

If you are not used to driving with a heavy load, it can be risky.

A professional moving company provides trained drivers.

A mover who offers full insurance with professional and bonded employees relieves you of safety and security issues. You can DIY, but in the end, is it worth it?

ADVICE | RENTAl TIps

Eight energy-saving idEas

for renters Whether you rent an apartment, townhouse or a home, these tips will help you to be more energy efficient and save money. If there are things you can’t change on your own, share these tips and encourage your landlord to make a change for the better.

1. Lighting is one of the easiest places to start saving energy.

Replacing your five most frequently used light fixtures or the bulbs in them with Energy Star certified LED lights can save more than $65 a year in energy costs.

• Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Turning off just one 60-watt incandescent bulb that would otherwise burn eight hours a day can save about $15 a year!

2. Considering purchasing a room air conditioner? Buy an Energy Star-qualified model. It will use at least 10 per cent less energy than standard models. Be sure the unit fits tightly in the window so outdoor air does not get in.

3. Consumer electronics play an increasingly larger role in your home’s energy consumption, accounting for 15 per cent of household electricity use. Many electronics use energy even when switched off. Unplug any battery chargers or power adapters when not in use (like your cell phone charger!). Use a power strip as a central “turn off” point when you are done using equipment. And even when turned off, electronic and IT equipment often use a small amount of electricity. For home 42 Renters Guide | Jan. 17–31, 2020

office equipment, this stand-by or “phantom” power load can range from a few watts to as much as 20 or even 40 watts for each piece of equipment.

Using a power strip for your computer and all peripheral equipment allows you to completely disconnect the power supply from the power source, eliminating standby power consumption.

4. A 10-minute shower can use less water than a full bath.

With a low-flow showerhead, a 10-minute shower will use about 25 gallons of water, saving five gallons of water over a typical bath. A new showerhead will also save energy — up to $145 each year on electricity — beating out both the bath and an oldfashioned showerhead.

5. To keep out the heat of the summer sun, close window shades and drapes during the day.

6. Run the dishwasher with a full load and use the air-dry option if available.

7. Wash your laundry with cold water whenever possible. To save water, try to wash full loads or, if you must wash a partial load, reduce the level of water appropriately. Washing full loads can save you more than 3,400 gallons of water each year.

8. Don’t over-dry your clothes.

Remember to clean the lint trap before every load. Dry full loads or reduce drying time for partial loads. One of the easiest things to increase drying efficiency is to clean the lint trap before each and every load. This step can also save up to $34 a year.
