EDITORS’ NOTES
r
enting an apartment over owning a home makes lots of financial sense for people in many different life situations. Maybe you just can’t afford to buy a home or don’t want to spend your hard-earned money on one. Maybe you have a plan to buy a home in a few years and want to start saving for a down payment. Or maybe you’re simply not interested in the cost and commitment that come with being a homeowner. No matter why you’re renting an apartment, you need to know your rights as a tenant. As part of the process, your landlord must give you a copy of the agreement after you sign and return it. Since this document outlines all the terms you’ve agreed to, it’s an important document to have on hand. You should avoid breaking a lease if at all possible. Each lease agreement has its own penalties for not honouring the outlined terms. Be sure to check your lease to make sure you can handle the financial ramifications that come with breaking a lease – before you break it.

ello balcony! It’s been a long winter but it’s nice to have you back. Balconies are one of those amazing things about apartments. I don’t want to hear about decks (too much space) Juliet windows (not enough space) or backyards (oh the maintenance!). Balconies are a special piece of property – low maintenance and little in the way of investment for such a huge return. They’re your own little piece of paradise, and come spring they finally come back into your life. They’re just so perfect. All you really need is a chair or a blanket to cozy up on – with your morning coffee or an evening tea. It’s an ideal way to take in your view, which extends to much more than what you get through the window. The balcony is the perfect place for a romantic evening of stargazing, and a great lifestyle addition for enjoying out-of-doors for those that are less mobile. It’s always a breath of fresh air. The only thing a balcony is definitely not, is a storage space. It’s a shame to waste that piece of real estate on stuff that could best be put elsewhere, from bikes to luggage and furniture. If you’ve been neglecting your balcony, get out there and give it a little TLC, perhaps a chaise and a few planters and find out for yourself how amazing your personal outdoor haven can be! With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place, balcony and all. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Conquer Clutter this spring
S
Tips for a tidy home
pring is traditionally a time to freshen your house from top to bottom. This year, the cleaning and organizing specialists at Molly Maid have some easy and inexpensive ideas to get your home clutter free and organized. Before cleaning, try these tips: TheRentersGuide.ca
Hanging shoe organizers make great storage for cleaning supplies, kids’ toys, toiletries and yes, even shoes! In the kitchen, these handy organizers can hold spice jars, even small utensils. No more mismatched sheets. Keep sheet sets together by tucking top and fitted sheets into their matching pillow case. Cleanse your closet. Spring is a great time to give your closet the once over. Decide if you want to keep, toss or donate items that are seldom or never worn. Storing belts, scarves and ties is easy when you attach round shower curtain hooks to hangers. Belts won’t fall down and fabrics will be crease free. Decorate and organize at the same time. Attach stuffed toys to a strip of velcro in the play room to create a fun way to display kids’ favourite plush toys. Corral metal clippers, nail files, and hair elastics in one handy place - secure a magnetic strip inside the medicine cabinet. Voila! Store rolls of wrapping paper in a garment bag and vow to never juggle loose rolls again. Packing a suitcase? Stuff shoes with socks or other small items. Then put each pair of shoes inside a shower cap to prevent clothes from getting dirty.

The SAVVY
APARTMENT Shopper Use all the resources at hand and make quality a key part of your decision criteria
W
by Ted WhiTehead
hen looking for rental accommodations, particularly in an area that’s unfamiliar to you, it’s wise to use every resource available to find an apartment that is within your budget and fulfills your lifestyle needs.
Nowadays, a growing number of rentalhousing consumers are using the Internet, as their information search source for locating an apartment. If you're moving to a new city or town, most provinces and local municipalities have general information websites with links that provide a direct click to available rental information sites in the area, Once you arrive at the selected sites, you can generally click on the type of apartment and location you’re looking for, and do some preliminary ‘shopping’ online. The benefit to online listings is that they are generally kept current. Well-respected media such as Renters Guide and homeTRADER.ca can also be a big help. These sources are widely used by apartment-shoppers. Word-of-mouth continues to be a great method to find a good apartment at a reasonable rate. Ask family members, colleagues and friends if they know of good rentals available in the area where you want to live. If you’ve located an apartment and wonder what it’s like to live there, ask tenants who enter or leave the building for their opinions. Other important considerations for any savvy apartment seeker are the quality of the home you plan to select and the quality of service you will receive once you have TheRentersGuide.ca selected your chosen area. Now, there is an effective tool to help you find the perfect apartment and enjoy increased peace of mind in your decision – the Certified Rental Building Program TheRentersGuide.ca (CRBP). The first of its kind in North
see whether the buildings that you are considering have that on hand. You can also visit the website www.crbprogram. org, where you can search for an apartment in a certified building by geographic location, name or the management company. If you have located a building in one of the other ways mentioned above, you would be wise to check the CRB Program website to check and see whether the building has passed the certification process. Either way, this new “quality assurance” standard can help you make your final decision with confidence. To be certified, apartment owners/applicants must agree to maintain a certain standard in areas such as Human Rights Code, tenant servicing, fire and building code compliance, staff training policies, proper safety procedures, information and privacy law compliance, financial management, insurance, and employee relations. The program is audited by the well-respected third-party auditors J.D. Power & Associates. There is also a mandatory training and education component that all property management staff must complete.
America, the program from the Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) promotes best practices when it comes to operating apartment buildings in Ontario. A CRBP building is well run and well managed. It is in good repair and the management ensures that the required safety standards are met. Property owners and managers in this program follow FRPO’s established Standards of Practice, which help to establish and maintain a high quality of life for renters. You can use the CRBP in three different ways. Certified buildings all display the program’s seal of approval, so you can

moving
avoid common
packing mistakes by Dan Hopkins
M
ore than 4 million people moved residences in Canada last year, many of whom did the packing themselves. For some, it works out fine; others have problems resulting from a lack of foresight, poorly packed boxes and inexperience in loading moving trucks.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca
Here a re a few tips to help you avoid finding damaged items at your destination: 1. Consider purchasing boxes from your mover. The most common packing mistake we see is people getting free boxes at the grocery or liquor store and then putting too much weight in them. For example, using a large box to pack books and magazines may make it too heavy to lift, and the box might break during the move due to the weight. Use this rule of thumb: the heavier the item, the smaller the box. Be choosy about your boxes; free boxes from a grocery store that have been used to ship produce could contain insect larvae that may transfer to your belongings. 2. Be realistic about the number of boxes you need. Depending on how long you have lived in your current location, you will most likely underestimate your boxes requirement.Often, we hear of renters who think 40 or 50 boxes will be enough, and then realize they need upwards of 80, two days before moving day. 3. Start packing early and be completely packed when the movers arrive. Sometimes we arrive at a customer’s home and they’re not packed. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to move a customer’s belongings while they are attempting to shove items into boxes and we get in each others’ way. This also interferes with the optimal loading of the moving truck. We have a loading system where the first things we place in the truck are light items such as chairs, lampshades, cushions, etc; we place these items in the ‘attic’ (the area over the cab) of the truck. We can get lots of light items up there and they stay secure.
TheRentersGuide.ca Next, we create a ‘box wall’ stacked to the ceiling to hold the items in the attic in place. We then stand plastic TheRentersGuide.ca
wrapped mattresses against the box wall and secure everything with tie-off straps to keep belongings from getting jostled during the move. If you’re not completely packed and ready on moving day, we can’t create that box wall early on and, this decreases the capacity of the items that can be moved at one time. It also eats up precious time and, therefore, money! 4. Think ahead. Begin packing items you don’t use daily. As you pack your boxes move them to the front of your apartment and stack them along a wall near the front door. Having them by the door, organized and ready to go, instead of having movers go back and forth to each room can shave 10 to 20 seconds off the time for each box. Saving 20 seconds per box can save lots of time – and money.
5. Consider having your moving company pack for you. We are skilled, have more experience and have standard-size small, medium and large boxes that are designed to fit into our trucks to create a perfect box wall for optimum efficiency and safety. So, when it comes to moving, forethought goes a long way. Because your belongings mean a lot to you, take extra care when packing so that they arrive at your destination safely.

Greenwin Inc. 125 Wellington Street North
N
o one does makeovers quite like Greenwin does. They really are one of the leaders when it comes to revitalizing rental communities and upgrading properties to hotel levels. They did it in Toronto at 88 Erskine Avenue and 45 Dunfield, both now considered A-class. These buildings feature concierge service, exercise facilities, media rooms, 24-hour WiFi laundry rooms and lobbies that rival most hotels. Their staff-to-resident ratios are high. They offer on-site programs such as Yoga and Aquafit classes and host at least six events a year free of charge for residents. They have quarterly newsletters and an open dialogue on social media. Greenwin purchased 125 Wellington Street North this winter and they’ll be offering some of the same great features and services to residents, including a new exercise room, a new 24/7 WiFi laundry room, new theatre/media room, a new bike storage room and a new yoga room. As well, residents can look forward to a new lobby! Concierge service has already started. Residents can now submit their requests for maintenance online and have the convenience of booking an elevator online. They can even borrow a dolly or cart, a folding bed or a crib if company arrives unexpectedly. “We saw a niche in the Hamilton rental market for an upscale resident experience,” says Greenwin principal Kevin Green.“The north side of Hamilton has Hess Village for nightlife and cafes, Jamesville for restaurants and the arts scene [Art Crawl and other events] and Jackson Square for the year-round Farmers Market, the library and the bus terminal.”
