When you move, how do you reestablish yourself. It’s one of the things most people don’t give a lot of thought to before they move. Of course you made sure there were the amenities you want in your neighbourhood, but now you need to make them your own. Any move, whether it’s a huge distance or a few blocks means you need to adjust your routines and patterns. Your route home – do you know the timing of the new bus route or which roads are better in rush hour? The convenience store

person, the barrista, the grocery clerks – these are all casual relationships you’ll need to recreate. Though you know these elements are in your new neighbourhood, you’ll have to seek them out and establish your new routines and favourites. There’s a lot more to moving than just a new address. Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide and check out our advice, info and listings on ypnexthome.ca and the YPNextHome App 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.

Advice | APARTMENTALITY

When you rent and THE LANDLORD WANTS TO SELL By Kathryn Kusyszyn

UH-OH. YOUR LANDLORD wants to sell the property and they just mentioned it to you – or worse, you just came home to a “For Sale” sign on the front lawn. It’s a seller’s market and rental is a hot commodity, you can’t blame them if they’ve decided to cash in. But how will this affect you? It’s not so much a concern in a large apartment building complex, as most highrises are handled by professional management companies and when they are bought and sold it really has little effect, if anything it’s a good thing. Usually the new company will do an audit to see what needs to be invested into the building and improvements may even take place. But when you’re renting a house – or a unit within a house, duplex or triplex and the owner wants to sell, it’s important to keep communications open for a smooth process. Tensions can mount quickly, especially if you want to stay. You may voice your hopes of remaining, but unless you have a lease, you may need to move unexpectedly. And even if you have a lease, that only guarantees your stay temporarily. Living with uncertainty is challenging, however, staying positive and respectful will help keep the situation manageable. And it reflects well on you when potential new owners ask your landlord about you. It’s unsettling to be at the mercy of someone else’s decisions. Take time to digest the fact that you may need to move against your wishes before

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

reacting. Find out how much notice and/or compensation is legally due to you in this situation. In Ontario, if you are in a lease, you cannot be evicted before the end of the term. You can be given 60 days’ notice to leave, at the end of the lease, whereas in a month-to-month situation you may only have 60 days. Be clear on the laws and boundaries around showing the unit. Ontario and BC require 24 hours’ written notice be provided to the tenant. If you have children or pets, discuss their needs around showings with the landlord. If you work from home, that is another consideration you may want to bring up. Having agreements with your landlord on preferred showing times is helpful. Put it in writing and agree together to be flexible. For example, if you are planning a dinner party which happens to fall within your agreed standard showing times, give your landlord plenty of notice and ask them to avoid scheduling showings on that day – or at least that time. Name other times that will work. Be willing to cooperate. But be clear, the landlord has the right to enter with 24 hours written notice provided to you.

You will likely have to deal with Realtors. If a Realtor asks to show your place with less than 24 hours’ notice you are within your rights to refuse. In this situation it is helpful to suggest other suitable days and times. Landlords understand this is a stressful situation and should back up your rights here, especially if you are respecting and backing up theirs. But again, keep in mind that you won’t stop the property from being sold by not being helpful, but by making it difficult for prospective purchasers to enter you may find that you prolong the process and cause yourself additional stress with more showings and a less understanding landlord. And if you don’t accommodate the person who may end up being your new landlord, you may find that your new landlord isn’t terribly flexible or understanding of your needs and requests. Working together as a team will reap the best outcome. Whether or not you have to move may be out of your control, however, being reasonable when the landlord wants to sell is the best practice and may ingratiate you to your new landlord. If it doesn’t sell, you may wind up with a better relationship with your landlord and your chosen place to live. If it does sell, you may get to stay and start off in the good graces of the new owners.

Advice | RENTAL RANTINGS

The pros and cons of

dating the neighbour By Jennifer Braun

YPNEXTHOME.CA

YOU NEVER KNOW where you might find love – at your local coffee shop, in the gym or even in your rental’s elevator. If you think you found your future soul mate in the latter, then you’re about to find out that dating your neighbour can get complicated. Honestly, whoever came up with the “boy next door” fantasy didn’t have a clue! Still, you can’t help who you love, so I’ll let you be the judge. Here are the pros and cons of dating a neighbour. PRO: TALK ABOUT CONVENIENCE! At home movie nights and dinner dates are literally just a couple of steps or an elevator ride away. This will allow you to spend more time with your significant other cuddling up on the couch or getting to know each other better. In the dead of winter, who wants to battle the cold and leave the building anyway? CON: GETTING TOO COMFORTABLE TOO FAST Getting comfortable with your significant other is an awesome feeling, but inter-building dating might lead you to get too comfortable, too fast. If you don’t carefully balance going out and staying in on date nights, you might find yourself hanging out in your pyjamas and ordering take out sooner than expected. PRO: YOU GET TO KNOW THEM VERY WELL There’s no place to hide when you’re dating your neighbour, so you’ll get to know your beau’s schedules and affairs very well. Not to mention the close proximity will probably lead you into their rental fairly quickly, and there’s nothing like dissecting a person’s home to help you figure them out. CON: WHAT PRIVACY? Living close to your significant other is great, until you don’t want to see them right now. Everyone needs some alone time, but that can be impossible if you start to feel like every spare minute should be spent next door, or you meet at the mailbox or the pool or the fitness room whether you want to or not. Set boundaries and

make sure no one comes knocking uninvited. PRO: CASH SURPLUS Quick dates will often not require a coffee date rendezvous or a cheap bite to eat at a local bistro. That means more cash in your pockets. CON: IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER On that same note, missing out on the small things that couples usually do when first getting to know each other may lead your romance straight into hot water. You want to get to know your significant other in all situations. Do they offer to pick up the bill? Are they snarky with the Starbucks barista (big turnoff!)? It’s all these small things that can make you see a significant other in a different light. PRO: TWO RENTALS ARE BETTER THAN ONE When you’re inter-building dating, you’ll never have to worry about running out of anything again. You’ll basically be living out of two apartments. One more bottle of wine? I’ll go upstairs to get that. CON: TALK ABOUT AN AWKWARD BREAK-UP When you couple-up, there’s always a potential break-up if it doesn’t work out. Hopefully, you’re both mature enough to do this in an amicable way, but let’s be honest – no one wants to bump into their ex, let alone be stuck in an elevator with them. Now that’s awkward elevator talk! Now that you know all the pros and cons, the choice is up to you. Will you give your neighbour a chance? Want to share an experience dating your neighbour? Or do you have questions about rental living in general? Email us at AskRentersGuide@ypnexthome.ca - perhaps the answer you need will be in the next Rental Rantings!

Advice | APARTMENTALITY

Housing discrimination – NOT OKAY By Anne Marshall

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

APARTMENT HUNTING CAN be challenging in the best of circumstances. If you’re searching, you probably have a vision of your ideal abode: a number of bedrooms, ground or upper floor, parking, neighbourhood, access to transit, carpet versus hardwood. But what happens if the landlord who owns your perfect pad also has a vision of the ideal tenant – and you’re not it?

Québec adds ancestry and language to its protections; political beliefs are protected in P.E.I., Newfoundland, Manitoba, the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Yukon and N.W.T. also make it illegal to refuse housing on the basis of a criminal record or conviction. In every province except Alberta, discrimination based on age is also against the law.

While we’d like to believe that countries like Canada offer equal opportunities for all when it comes to housing, there is still the occasional landlord who may discriminate against prospective tenants based on their own prejudices and assumptions. However, when they do so, they are breaking the law. In every province, it is illegal to discriminate against a tenant on the basis of race, skin colour, religion, nationality, marital or family status, gender/sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, pet ownership, physical disability, intellectual disability, and source of income.

How can you ensure that your personal circumstances don’t somehow work against you? Start by knowing what information your landlord can ask you to provide. Landlords have the right to ask: whether you work, and where; your income; how many people will be living with you, and what their names are; if you smoke; whether you can provide references from previous landlords; and whether you give permission for a credit check. They may ask whether you have pets, but only in B.C. can landlords actually restrict pets on their premises. Landlords cannot inquire about: your marital status; your age; your

sexual orientation; your ethnicity; your religion; your citizenship; whether you receive any type of social assistance; whether you are pregnant; or whether you plan to have (more) children. It’s worth noting that you’re more likely to encounter these examples of prejudice when dealing with a private landlord rather than a property management company, whose legal team will be aware of and dedicated to upholding the current laws. But in any instance when you’re asked about such things, even if it seems like innocent small talk, you should remind the landlord that they don’t have the right to ask (or know), and also make a point of reporting that individual’s actions. Many provinces, including Ontario, have begun explicitly cracking down on discriminatory language in rental ads in recent years. Using seemingly innocuous phrases like “suitable for single professional” or “mature couples preferred” has become a sneaky way for landlords to violate provincial human rights codes without explicitly stating “no kids” or “students keep out!” With human rights agencies and housing advocates now focusing on these forms of indirect discrimination, which are much more common and widespread than blatant bigotry, it’s harder for intolerant or prejudiced landlords to get away with denying you a place to call home.

Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up. She loves nothing more than exploring new areas, peering into other people’s apartments, houses and yards. 52

Advice | MOVING

Things your movers

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

can and cannot do By Chuck Resnick

WHEN YOU HIRE A MOVING COMPANY, it is important to understand what services the firm can and cannot provide. At Two Men and a Truck – Canada, we pride ourselves on accommodating our clients in every possible way. But there are some requests that pose problems. MOVE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, CONTAINERS OF FUEL AND GAS-POWERED ITEMS, SUCH AS LAWN MOWERS THAT ARE NOT EMPTIED OF FUEL: This is in accordance with Ontario’s Health and Safety Act and Hazard Materials Act. The law prohibits us from transporting these types of goods. MOVE LIVE PLANTS: Many movers, including our company, have their own guidelines about this. Securing plants takes a level of special treatment that we are not prepared to offer. If customers need advice on how to move plants, we can help them find companies that are equipped to do so. In our experience, most customers move plants themselves. MOVING ANIMALS: Moving animals takes special care, and movers are not willing to take responsibility for pets during a move. You are best to arrange for them to be somewhere else on moving day, and then ease them into their new surroundings yourself. REARRANGE YOUR FURNITURE: Sometimes people ask us to rearrange their furniture at their destination, which adds to the time estimated for your move. We are happy to provide you with this service – for a fee – but it shouldn’t be assumed it is automatically included. MOVE PERSONAL VALUABLES: It makes sense that small valuables such as jewelry, stocks, bonds and cash are items you want to transport yourself. STOP THE CLOCK BECAUSE THERE IS A CHANGE ON YOUR END: We get paid from the time we leave

our facility until the time we return. If you change the parameters of your contract or something unexpected happens on your end to cause a delay, the move continues on as planned, but will likely extend longer than your estimate. MOVE ITEMS LARGER THAN WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO: When we see items that are too big and bulky for us to handle, we will let you know. Upright pianos, for example, are incredibly heavy and usually require heavy-duty dollies and a truck with a lift gate. We can definitely help you with any size of piano. Massive walls can also present challenges. We can help you find the right firm to move those specialty items, if required. PROVIDE INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ITEMS OF EXTRAORDINARY VALUE: Ontario’s Conditions of Carriage requires movers to insure items at least 60 cents per pound. If our coverage does not include antiques or works of art, we can arrange it through our Insurer as long as these items are itemized upfront. Your tenants insurance policy may also have a rider for goods in transit. INSTALL MAJOR APPLIANCES: We are neither plumbers nor electricians. If you require installation of your major appliances, arrange to have those professionals help you during your moving week. LOAD PRE-PACKED BOXES AND ITEMS INTO A U-HAUL OR POD: We do not do “load only moves.” If someone else is driving the vehicle and the goods are not under our control, we can’t take responsibility for the condition of the goods at their final destination. All of the above help ensure that your possessions arrive at the other end in one piece, with the safety of you, your family and the movers in mind. And, that’s our job!
