The next storey I have a weird thing about elevators - and I know I’m not alone. I’m not afraid of them by any means, I’m just not a fan. The TV monitors that flash news clips and fun trivia have slightly improved the situation, but I still find them awkward and uncomfortable.

Plus, I hate the wait.

I’m impatient. It’s a personal thing, so yes, I dislike having to ride elevators.

I admit to it. But it’s not just the wait, it’s the waiting with people. I’m a very social person, and sometimes I like to chat - but sometimes I just don’t. I want to come and go without having to chat. Is that so wrong?

And then there’s the anti-social aspect of them. You get on and off with people you see every day, your neighbours, yet everyone acts like total strangers, staring at the numbers as they light up – like that’s so intriguing.

But we feign interest just so that we don’t have to make eye contact – or

+ get social

any contact at all.

And then there’s the animosity that poor elevator etiquette can cause. I find that, especially in highrises, and when you have to rely on the elevators day in and day out, there are some real pet peeves that can quickly get under your skin and can damage relationships between neighbours.

Holding everyone up; kids pressing all the buttons; not holding the elevator when someone is running for it; talking too loud; staring. Is your elevator etiquette up to par?

Whether you love them or you hate them, ultimately, they’re necessary – and the flipside is, they enable you to live in a home with a spectacular view.

That’s definitely worth the wait!

Whether it’s an elevator ride away or a lowrise home, when you make your move, let Renters Guide help. Check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

LIFE JUST GOT EASIER –AND A LOT more stylish – for residents in West London with the opening of 271 Platts Lane at Platts Crossing. This impressive modern building features contemporary style and sophisticated finishes, providing numerous suites designed for barrier-free living, in the heart of a desirable neighbourhood.

This new, air-conditioned apartment building offers an exciting opportunity for many West London residents – the rare opportunity to move into a fresh, brand new space, leasing for June 1st occupancy.

With upscale finishes and polished details, these suites exude modern luxury and elegance. Kitchens are the showpiece in open-concept layouts, with two-tone fullheight cabinetry, stainless steel appliances – including fridge, stove, dishwasher and built-in microwave – pendant lighting and a contemporary goose-neck faucet. Large windows and luxury plank flooring frame the living areas quite tastefully. Upgraded high-density underpad and upgraded carpet make for sweet dreams in the bedrooms.

In-suite laundry, a rare find in this market, means the utmost in convenience.

Being barrier free, these suites offer livability and function for everyone. Instead of building the minimum, BlueStone chose to provide 34 suites that offer barrierfree living. These one- and two-bedroom suites accommodate the needs of the differently abled. The building features wider hallways and doorways in all common areas, including the entryway to the

well-appointed lobby. Barrier-free suites accommodate for a larger turning radius in the kitchen, family room, bedroom and bathrooms. Step-in showers offer grab bars and seats, accessible bathroom vanities and lowered countertops. Light switches are lowered, and the microwaves are under the counter instead of over-the-range, providing accessibility for those with limited vertical reach. It removes the institutional feel and has no impact on the contemporary modern aesthetics of these suites, reimagining barrier-free living.

The building has great amenities, including a fully equipped exercise room with state-of-the-art equipment and a resident lounge with fireplace, flat screen TV, comfy seating and a kitchenette for entertaining. The manicured grounds provide outdoor enjoyment including tables and seating with umbrellas, a private terrace and a gazebo overlooking the private resident garden plots.

Residents will also appreciate the additional features of this community, from onsite property management, covered parking and indoor bike storage to controlled access providing security and peace of mind.

For more information on this great opportunity, call 519-619-3044 to make an appointment or visit 271plattslane. com where you can find more photos and information about the new suites, the community and barrier-free living.

MORE PHOTOS AND STATS ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/north-london

THE HERITAGE neighbourhood of Old North London is bounded by Windermere in the north and Oxford Street to the south. The Thames River and Adelaide Street mark its western and eastern borders.

More stately and affluent than the trendy neighbouring areas to the south, Old North London is dominated by institutions, and backs onto the University of Western Ontario’s campus via the famous Richmond Gates. It’s quiet and scenic, a refined escape from all of the excitement offered downtown.

Affluent families with children flock to Old North London. Married couples

without children at home are well represented, and many academics (both active and Emeritus) also call the area home. Given the abundance of high-density housing and proximity to campus, it’s also a very desirable location for students.

The University of Western Ontario and its affiliate colleges offer a host of amenities that locals can access.

Numerous parks add to the ambience of this very green neighbourhood.

It can be a very pedestrian friendly area, but bigger houses mean bigger blocks, and a long walk to places like the supermarket in this heavily residential area, so most homeowners

find cars necessary. Cyclists have access to a good network of bike paths linking various parts of the university to the city streets and parks.

It’s a fairly quiet and upscale neighbourhood, with home prices significantly higher than elsewhere in the city. Take-out establishments catering largely to students offer decent prices, but everything else is going to cost you a little more up here.

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.

Advice | THE RENTALIST

Oh no, you found bedbugs

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

By Jackie Marchildon

IT’S EVERY RENTER’S WORST

nightmare — finding bedbugs. They are creepy little buggers and they latch on like nobody’s business.

Don’t worry, they have nothing to do with your cleanliness and it’s really just an unfortunate situation to be in.

Here’s what you need to do.

1. Call your landlord and work with local pest control First things first — call your landlord.

They will likely have a go-to company to call and an overall plan of action.

Generally speaking, you’ll find that most residential tenancies acts will establish that it’s the landlord’s responsibility to take care of a bedbug problem — for instance, it falls under emergency repairs in British Columbia and under the landlord’s need to comply with municipal healthy and safety standards in Alberta. Technically, landlords could file a dispute against you as the tenant if they felt you caused the problem (but they would need to prove the bedbugs were actually your fault).

The rates for bedbug removal services vary, but broadly, here’s what your landlord might expect.

Ontario — Quote for a chemical treatment for a one-bed unit from Bed Bug Exterminator Pro*: 360$ *Quotes are general (quoted over the phone or online)

everything out in your unit while you wait for the exterminator to arrive.

Sometimes putting infested items outside or in the freezer can kill the bedbugs, but it would need to be at least -19 degrees Celsius and you’d need to leave the items in the cold for at least four days. Even then, there is no guarantee the cold will kill them all.

Wash everything you can in hot water and dry it all on the hottest dryer setting — mattress pads, bedding, clothing and curtains — everything you can. Place your clean items somewhere safe and sealed (use sealed plastic bags or bins with lids).

Throw out anything you cannot wash. Steam clean your mattress if you think it’s salvageable. Otherwise, cut your losses and throw it out.

2. Assess the situation and act accordingly How bad is the infestation? You don’t immediately need to throw

3. Vacuum everything and everywhere Vacuum feverishly. Do not use a vacuum with a cloth bag because

the bag can become infested.

Bedbugs attach themselves to wood and fabric (and their eggs will stick to those surfaces too). Use a vacuum attachment to scrape all surfaces in your unit — including your bed if you’re keeping it. Vacuum any crack or crevice in your mattress, box spring, bed frame, furniture, in and around your baseboards, cushions, rugs, carpets, heating or air conditioning units, drawers — anything and everything must be vacuumed.

Wash all vacuum attachments in hot water and detergent and store your vacuum in a sealed plastic bag.

If your vacuum has a bag, remove it and throw it out in a plastic bag, outside of your home. If your vacuum doesn’t have a bag, wash the dust container as well as the attachments.

All you have to do next is wait for pest control to arrive and officially rid you of the pesky little bloodsuckers!

Advice | RENTAL LIVING

Decoding Green Labels 101 FROM “NATURAL” TEA, TO “GREEN” cleaning supplies to “ecofriendly” clothing, there are endless products being marketed with claims that attempt to convince consumers that they are making the right decision when shopping.

“With companies using various ‘Green’ claims and labels now more than ever, it can be difficult to distinguish between what looks and sounds ethical and sustainable, and what actually is.” says Laurie Simmonds, president and CEO of Green Living Enterprises.

Product certifications alleviate this challenge, as any certified product has undergone a rigorous third party evaluation; examining everything from environmental impact, ingredient procurement, worker conditions and compensation to name few. Choosing products with the following labels will help you shop smarter and feel more confident about your buying power: The Fairtrade mark means the ingredients in a product have been produced by small-scale farmer organizations or plantations that meet social, economic and environmental standards.

B Certified is to a business what Fairtrade is to fruit or coffee. B Certified companies meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability. Dedicated to offering bee32

YPNEXTHOME.CA

derived superfoods, Beekeeper’s Naturals is a great example of a B Certified company that has undergone strict analysis and understands their overarching duty to the environment.

Eating organic is one of the most popular ways to lead a healthier, more sustainable life. This can be made easy by purchasing products with the Canada Organic label and certification (define what it means – pesticides, antibiotics, etc..). Canada’s organic standards are among the most recognized in the world.

With overfishing being the biggest threat our oceans face today, consumers who choose to eat seafood can make a difference by choosing fish that is responsibly sourced. The Oceanwise symbol is an assurance against overfishing, harm to other aquatic creatures and protection of the marine ecosystem.

Look for the Leaping Bunny logo when purchasing personal-care products and cosmetics. These companies make a voluntary pledge to eliminate animal testing from all stages of product development.
