ADVICE | RENTERS’ ETIquETTE

Top 8 renter issues JAne HermAn Harmonious living is all about treating others with respect and consideration. Start by making a concerted effort by avoiding these ‘top eight renter issues.’

1. Keep the noise down. Take off your high heels at the door, refrain from vacuuming, using power tools or hanging pictures at 10 p.m.

2. When in the elevator, hold it for a neighbour. Likewise, don’t hold it unnecessarily, like while you’re waiting for your spouse/ roommate to put their coat on,

lock the door, and walk all the way down the hall.

3. No Smoking. If smoking is not allowed in your building or on the floor, don’t do it.

4. Respect and maintain common areas as if they were an extension of your own home.

5. Ensure your pet is a good neighbour, too. Walk your pet regularly, and stoop’n’scoop.

Also, make sure your pet doesn’t howl all day or bark all night.

6. Keep an eye on the time and on your laundry regularly. Don’t leave your stuff sitting in the washer or dryer after it has finished.

7. Remember to dress appropriately when taking out

trash, recycling, picking up mail, doing laundry or getting something from your car.

8. Respect your neighbours’ right to privacy. Be cognizant of and promptly report any crimes or suspicious persons in the building.

ADVICE | quICk tIps

Cost-effeCtive tIps to Cut your CluttEr

Hellen Buttigieg Prices keep going up and up, so when you’re cutting costs, why not cut clutter at the same time?

You don’t need to spend your hard-earned money on expensive storage solutions – chances are, you may have the thrifty answers in your home already!

Use what you have. Get creative.

Before rushing out to buy bins and baskets, look around your home for containers you can re-purpose.

Here are some ideas: » Use egg cartons or ice cube trays to organize earring sets, cuff

links or hair accessories. » Try empty plastic baby-wipe containers for crayons, first aid or sewing supplies, and they stack easily on a shelf. » Empty baby food jars are good for touch-up paint, spare buttons, or screws and nails. » Re-purpose a mug holder into a scarf or baseball cap holder. » Empty tissue boxes can hold plastic grocery bags or, with the top cut off, packets of gravy and instant soup. » Pre-washed salad bags are perfect for storing special occasion shoes, keeping them visible yet dust-free.

Eliminate the clothes you don’t wear to make room for new items. Use the “one in – one out”

rule: For every item you bring home, let go of one.

Corral coin clutter. Do you have loose change in every part of your home? Grab a clear jar and label it Fun Funds. Deposit those coins.

Once the jar is full, treat yourself to a small indulgence and then start again.

Hellen Buttigieg, is a Certified Professional Organizer, life coach, TV Host and owner of We Organize U. To contact Hellen or for information on hiring a We Organize U organizing specialist, call 905.829.2219 or e-mail info@WeOrganizeU.com

ADVICE | RENTAL TIpS

what to look for in a rental Whether it’s your first apartment or your 10th, you’re going to want to find the home that best suits your needs. While looking for a new apartment, use this handy checklist to make sure you’ve covered all your bases.

THE RENTAL UNIT

• Is there a storage place for extra belongings such as bikes, luggage, etc.? Who has access to this place?

• Where is the closest bus stop?

• Is the apartment near services that are used regularly? (groceries, bank, fitness) • Is the rental unit clean? Who shovels the snow and cuts the grass? Who supplies the equipment (shovels, lawn mower)?

• Where can vehicles be parked? Is there good lighting outside and in the parking lot?

• How quiet or noisy is the rental unit during the evening for studying or sleeping?

• Are there laundry facilities?

Is there a schedule for use?

Is there a cost? Where is the closest laundromat?

• Does the building have Internet service, or can it be installed?

FINANCES

• How much is the rent?

• Is a security deposit required?

What is the amount?

• Does the rent include utilities: Heat, water, electricity, cable or Internet?

• Will a utility hook-up charge be extra?

• Will parking cost extra? What is the amount?

12 Renters Guide | Oct. 23–Nov. 6, 2020

• Who has to pay for repairs — big ones and small ones?

AVOID ROOMMATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS

• Who will sign the residential tenancy agreement (lease)? It’s best that all parties be named on it.

• What will happen if one person needs to move out before the end of the lease?

• How will costs be shared and bills paid?

• How will problems be resolved?

QUESTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

• Is the lease for a fixed amount of time or month-to-month?

• When and where will the rent be paid? What happens if it is late?

Ask for receipts for any payments.

• Who do you contact if there is a problem?

• Have you arranged for tenants’ insurance?

• Are sublets okay? What about a roommate?

• Are pets allowed? Is a deposit required?

• Is smoking allowed?

• How long can guests stay?

• Are you able to decorate your unit? What is the policy about push pins and hammering nails in the walls?

• When and where are notices delivered when it’s time to move out?

• When will the inspection report be done.

It’s always a good idea to keep copies of documents related to your rental unit, including the tenancy agreement, inspection report and receipts. Asking the right questions and considering the answers before you sign on the dotted line will help you find a rental unit that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

6 WAYS TO USE

BAMBOO

by SARA DUCK

Knixhult pendant lamp in bamboo. $50. Ikea.ca

Are you looking to create more of a “green” home? Small steps such as considering the materials that are used in your decor and wardrobe purchases can have a big impact on the environment and your well-being.

Bamboo-based furniture and clothing have been gaining in popularity these environmentally conscious days because of its sustainability as one of the world’s fastest growing raw materials. Its production into fibres has very low environmental impact, it produces twice as much oxygen than other trees and it’s grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Here are six simple ways to introduce this natural trend into your living space.

ADVICE | rEntAl rAntIngs

Helping friends move Jennifer Braun The year’s most popular moving dates are coming up. I want to suggest you actually consider helping a friend move. Why? Because it won’t be as bad as you think, and your fellow renter would really appreciate it.

If a friend asks you to help them move, it does not mean you will be facilitating the entire move. In fact, I really do not suggest relying on friends for a complete move, but rather for a pair of helping hands.

There are many ways you can help with a move, including before the move, during the move and

even after the move. Getting personal belongings organized and neatly packed into boxes is actually half the work.

Moving also involves a lot of cleaning – be it the old place or the new place that still needs to be vacuumed and dusted before bringing in furniture. Then, after all that work, there’s unpacking and getting organized.

So, before you say no to helping with a move, consider asking your friend what they need help with.

Your strength at some point may be needed, but just being there to help pack, clean and organize can also be a big help. All that being said, helping friends move still isn’t the most enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon. That’s why I say

A G R EAT PL ACE TO CALL

keep your friends close and the friends you help move even closer – they totally owe you – including with your own next big move!

Jennifer Braun is a freelance lifestyle writer from Montreal.

make the most of your balCony Jane herman Whether your balcony is a sundrenched southern exposure or a secluded shady nook, it’s your own window onto the world below.

Here are some ideas for enjoying your outside space.

Use yoUr imagination

Why not enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony before you go to work? A cold supper picnic outside with friends could add tranquil pleasure to the daily dinner ritual.

Create Comfort

A couple of inexpensive but

comfortable lounge chairs, a small side table and an umbrella are sufficient to get started.

You could add a waterproof rug, throw pillows, attractive containers, hanging baskets, even a bird feeder. an Urban garden

Container-grown flowers, vegetables, and herbs support biodiversity by attracting pollinators such as butterflies and bees, adding to the oxygen in the air. You can successfully grow tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and other small vegetables in containers on your balcony, along with lettuces and herbs. Make sure you have adequate sun before setting out edible

plants, otherwise, stick to shadeloving flowers. banish ClUtter

Store bicycles in your building’s bike racks in the garage along with your snow tires. Buy a large plastic cupboard to conceal luggage, golf clubs, skis or children’s toys.

Make your balcony your own personal retreat. The potential is yours to discover.

ADVICE | MONEY MATTERS

WHY YOU’RE IN DEBT GAIL VAZ-OXLADE

teasing yourself by drooling over a bunch of stuff you don’t need.

DO YOU USE CREDIT TO BUY THINGS YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BUY WITH CASH?

People who are in debt often say they no longer want to be in debt.

And often they take the steps to get themselves out. But, it seems to me, there are people who claim they want to get out of debt but do little to change their behaviour and the outcome. They keep on doing the things that got them into debt in the first place.

Here are four questions you may want to ask about why you’re in the hole.

If you can’t afford to pay for something in cash today, you should not be buying that thing, I don’t care how important you think it is, how great a deal you’re getting, or how desperate you feel.

Using credit is no way to get out of debt. Put away all forms of credit and commit to building yourself a budget that balances. If you want something, you’ll have to give up something else to accumulate the cash you need to buy it.

DO YOU BUY STUFF YOU DON’T NEED?

DO YOU BUY THINGS FOR A ONE-TIME USE THAT YOU COULD BORROW FROM A FRIEND OR RENT?

The biggest cue that you’ve got the impulse monkey on your back are the things you have bought but not used: The clothes with the tags still on, the shoes you have yet to wear, the new dishes you’ve used once in the six months that you’ve owned them.

Impulse shoppers are the first to admit they have a problem and the last to do anything about it. If you’re an impulse shopper, you need to remove the fuel for the impulse. That means cutting up your credit cards – or disabling them in some other fashion – and limiting the amount of cash you carry. It also means leaving your debit card at home unless you’re headed out to take care of a need: Gas, groceries, etc. When you do go shopping, you have to use a list and stick to it.

Window shopping is torture for the impulse shopper so don’t browse stores since you’re just 28 Renters Guide | Oct. 23–Nov. 6, 2020

Practically everyone is guilty of this. You need something such as a sewing machine or power washer twice a year so you go and buy one and then watch it – and the money you spent, likely on credit – sit and grow cobwebs (and interest charges?). What’s with us all? In the old days, friends borrowed from each other and stuff got way more use. Now our possessions are so much a part of who we are we a) hate to lend and b) hate to have to admit we don’t already have one. Dumb!

DO YOU BUY CERTAIN BRANDS BECAUSE THEY ARE A STATUS SYMBOL?

While any car gets you from point A to point B, high-cost, brand-name buggies come with “oohs” and “ahhs” from friends and relatives. Ditto the D&G

sunglasses, the LV handbags, the CL shoes . . . I could go on forever.

If you’re paying a premium to have a brand name, you have to ask yourself why. Is it because you don’t have confidence in your own sense of style? Is it because you’re trying to emulate the dudes and dames of TV and movie fame, wearing what they wear, driving what they drive, eating what they eat? How come?

Hey, I’m all for spending your money on the things that bring you pleasure, so if you’re not using credit to make expensive brands part of your image, I’m not talking to you. But if you are using credit, what makes you think you have the right to this stuff if you can’t afford to pay for it?

ADVICE | MOVING

RESEARCH MOVERS BEFORE YOU HIRE

CHUCK RESNICK Hiring the right moving company can save you lots of work, stress and headaches.

However, you’ll want to be careful that the company you hire is above board and upholds strict standards.

How can you tell?

Do your research. Is the company a member of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM)? You can also contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and your provincial government’s consumer protection agency.

You can also: 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.

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? Will there be a fuel surcharge or a stairs or longdistance 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?

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.
