EDITORS’ NOTES
A
re you too busy to manage a home? Perhaps you’ve done the homeownership thing, and want to unshackle yourself from the costs of upkeep and home maintenance?
Most everyone these days is looking at ways to de-stress and simplify their lives, and renting rather than owning one can be one of the easiest ways to get relief. When you really think about it, it’s an option that may take some getting used to!
Needless to say, when you’re renting a home, your “to-do” list will likely look very different than those from your homeownership days. Whether you’re a life-long renter or a homeowner in need of a change, this issue of Renters Guide is for you. We’ve got some great advice on renting and rental living in the issue. Check it out! Your new, much lighter, much easier and much less expensive “to-do” list is waiting. Let us know how your search for a new home goes. We’d love to hear from you.

he landlord, property manager and superintendent are on your team. They’re there for you. If you’ve done your homework and chosen well, you’ll really appreciate the team when you need them. If you didn’t do your homework and ended up with a dud - well, we’re here to help.
Living in the right place means always knowing that team is there when you need them. If something is broken, they should be there to fix it quickly and professionally so that you don’t have any interruption to your enjoyment of your home. If you have a problem with a neighbour or other tenant, they can intervene and defuse the situation - whether it’s noise, parking, use of common areas or some other dispute. If there is an emergency, day or night, your team is there and has your back. After all, you’re paying them to do this. Your comfort and quality of life is included in the rent.
Some property managers go above and beyond. They want their properties to be strong and warm communities – from holiday decorating to summer barbecues and community appreciation events, you’ll find that a little bit of research on your next property and management can really offer you more that just a place to keep your stuff, it can provide a wonderful lifestyle and a place you’ll really love to call home. You’re getting ready to move and we’re here to help! Our magazine and website YPNextHome.ca, plus our YP NextHome app and our newsletter offer the best selection of available apartments as well as great articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Small space with ÜBER OOMPH! BY CATH ER I N E LUCI E HOR BER
SPACE PLANNING IS AN UNDERESTIMATED ELEMENT OF DESIGN,yet it makes all the difference in the look and feel of a room. When space is at a premium, it becomes even more important to master the art of maximizing your space and finding ways to create illusions of grandeur within the existing floor plan. Sometimes thinking outside the box really pays off! THE PROBLEM: When our client first came to us with her design project, her biggest dilemma was how to place her furniture – a common concern when dealing with a small room. In this small space, the client’s intended location for the dining room was in the biggest area directly across from the kitchen. This relegated the TV to the smallest corner beside the fridge. The room’s best attributes – the open-concept layout and its beautiful, full windows – made the layout planning here particularly difficult. THE SOLUTION: Switch it around! The smallest wall was turned into a cosy yet functional dining area. We made the best use of the space by designing a custom banquette tufted with crystals, which allowed for extra seating while creating that “wow” factor. Using a bold, hot pink hue as the backdrop in a small quantity infused the perfect amount of pizazz to the space. A small-scale dining table in a white glossy finish and clear ghost chair were the perfect fit for that area. The greatest benefit in this layout change was that it enabled us to fit two large sofas, a coffee table, and even an accent chair that perfectly caress the contours of the beautiful windowed walls. But the coolest attraction of the living room is the custom wall unit we had specifically built with an electric fireplace to provide our client with ample storage, cosiness, and function. People don’t often think built-in cabinetry or fireplaces are ypnexthome.ca feasible due to space constraints and work demands, but there are many ways to go about it that facilitate the process and make it very easy. Even with all its size and layout challenges, we are pleased to have helped our client turn her home into the cat’s meow! It is now extremely functional and elegant, and just waiting to host a soiree. ypnexthome.ca

TAKE-AWAYS: Look around your own space and try thinking “outside the box.” Move things around, use smaller scale furniture, remove the conventional barriers that may be stopping your creativity. You’ll be amazed at the possibilities!

The 7 items you just don’t need IN YOUR APARTMENT BY JEN N IFER BR AU N
MY APARTMENT IS A NONSTOP QUESTION ZONE. I have very limited ypnexthome.ca space, yet still enough space to constantly be asking myself “Why did I buy this? And this? And that!” I’ll admit, when I moved into my first apartment I ypnexthome.ca got a little excited and, despite budget restraints (zero budget), I went a little crazy with what I considered ‘investments.’ ypnexthome.ca 32
ypnexthome.ca
It’s not that all the items in my apartment are totally useless. It just took me some time to figure out they don’t all fit with my kind of lifestyle. Still, I like to think I’m not the only one to blame. Seriously, no one could have warned me not to buy any of these seven ridiculous items ? SOUND SYSTEM Besides the fact that I would actually like to be on good terms with my neighbours, a sound system is just not at all necessary for my tiny apartment. Let’s face it, the sound from my Iphone speakers reach the kitchen to my bathroom just fine. ELEPTICAL Everyone who owns a piece of exercise equipment knows they don’t use it half as much as they should. Then there’s the fact I’m constantly bumping into it when I get out of bed in the morning. KING SIZE BED About 2/3 of the furniture I assembled from Ikea seemed a lot smaller online than in my actual rental. Now my bedroom looks like it could belong to a giant or Shrek. LUXURY KITCHEN APPLIANCES Kitchen appliances like a blender, Vitamix, and KitchenAid, I consider a luxury because you have to have the luxury of having a decent amount of counter and cupboard space to be able to use and store any of these items. Do you know how many different produce items go into a Martha Stewart smoothie? DECORATIVE PILLOWS How many pillows can you fit onto one sofa? The answer is a lot! The pillows look great. The only thing is, I’m constantly looking for space to place all these pillows when it comes the time to sit on the only couch in my apartment. If you haven’t guessed yet, that happens a lot. LOUNGE CHAIR Summertime is so short. You better believe I invested in a state-of-the-art lounge chair to make the most of my balcony. The only thing is, the lounge chair is now the only thing that fits on my balcony. Any suggestions on where to store a lounge chair in the winter? VACCUM CLEANER I really had the best intentions to keep my rental as clean as possible when I moved in. Of course, that meant I had to invest in the right cleaning appliances. The thing is when you have a small space, turns out your cutting edge vaccum cleaner doesn’t fit under any of the funiture and appliances, which take up about 90 percent of your space. Just one more 12 pound item for me to store... Now, I wonder how much I can sell these items on Kijiji for...

Security deposits & post-dated cheques: ypnexthome.ca
DO I NEED TO PROVIDE THEM?
ypnexthome.ca
BY JAYSON SCH WA R Z LL M & ER N E ST WOO LLB
ypnexthome.ca 38
ypnexthome.ca
EVERY TIME SOMEONE BEGINS TO NEGOTIATE A LEASE FOR A RESIDENTIAL PREMISES, the issue of security deposits and postdated cheques needs to be dealt with. Consumers are often unaware of their rights and obligations and so have an unequal bargaining position with a potential landlord. Here are some comments on both issues. We hope they help. SECURITY DEPOSITS A deposit is usually demanded by the landlord in order to use all or part of the deposit to cover any damages to the property caused by the tenant or to cover rent should a tenant fail to make a rent payment. The legal limit for deposit and the type of deposit allowed will vary from province to province. A tenant may also be able to get interest on the security deposit when the tenancy ends or is terminated. Check with your local Landlord and Tenant Board to get up to date information on your rights. In Ontario, for example, a landlord can demand a rent deposit equal to one month’s rent, or the rent for one rental period, whichever is less. If the rent payments are made weekly, the deposit cannot be more than one week’s rent. If the rent payments are monthly, the deposit cannot be more than one month’s rent. However, it is illegal for a landlord in Ontario to demand a security deposit, for potential damages to a rental unit . Due to this, many landlords have tried to use creative ways to come up with charges to get around the rule for security deposits. However, the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act prohibits any other additional charges . Your landlord cannot directly or indirectly require or attempt to require from a tenant any fee or deposit of this nature.
This is convenient for both the landlord and the tenant. The landlord will not have to hound the tenant for cheques every month and tenant will get the benefit of post-dating, namely, the landlord will be prevented from depositing all the cheques at once. However, in practice, sometimes things do not go as smoothly. Due to the large amount of cheques and the automated process in most of the country’s financial institutions, sometime cheques may be cashed early. These causes issues as the bank may hit you with fees should your account have insufficient funds and go into overdraft. This is important to keep in mind should your landlord requests postdated cheques. For example, in Ontario and Manitoba, landlords may request post-dated cheques, but a tenant is not required to provide them. However, once a landlord and tenant agree to a method of payment, it cannot be changed unless both the landlord and tenant agree. In other provinces, such as British Columbia or Manitoba, post-dated cheques may be requested by landlords. So remember, in the rush of signing a tenancy agreement and moving into a new place; do not neglect to read over your tenancy agreement. You should never agree to a requirement in your tenancy agreement if you are unsure of its effect! Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. So help us!!! Mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the web site (www.schwarzlaw.ca), email (info@ schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form. Disclaimer: The articles provided herein are for general information purposes only and not intended as or to be relied upon for legal advice. Consult with a lawyer for your unique situation.
In British Columbia, the rules are different. A security deposit can be demanded. However, it cannot be more than half the one month’s rent. If a landlord accepts a security deposit that is greater than this amount, you have the right as a tenant to deduct the overpayment from your next rent payment or recover your overpaid rent. A landlord may also demand a pet damage deposit which would cover damages to the property caused by your pet. POST-DATED CHEQUES This will also vary from province to province. A post-dated cheque is a cheque that is dated for a future date. In the context of landlord and tenants, it is usually a cheque dated for ypnexthome.ca the day rent is due for the remainder of the tenancy agreement. The reason for post-dated cheques is that a cheque will be incapable of being cashed until the date of the cheque.

Storage STANDOFF BY K I M BER LY L EU NG
IF YOU’RE LIKE MOST PEOPLE, your stuff has a way of creeping up on you. Your apartment might have seemed downright cavernous when you moved in, but even just months in, your place feels packed to the brim. And with many modern units sizing down on storage, just where are you supposed to store your stuff? SHORT-TERM STORAGE Traveling for a couple months? In between leases? Renting out your spare room? Originally developed as a summer storage service for out-of-town university students, companies like Store Your Dorm and UniversityBoxes.ca will pick up your packed items and deliver them back to you when school starts (or on your requested date), a convenience you might find well worth the price. Don’t let their collegiate-themed company names fool you though, these and similar services offer storage options outside of just the summer months, and will take large items like furniture too. FLEXIBLE STORAGE Looking for even more flexibility? Say you’re a clotheshorse with an extensive collection of ballgowns. Or an expert and collector of rare artifacts. While these examples might be extreme, we’ve all found ourselves in a situation in which we’re out of space to store our things, but we still want easy access to them. A service like BoxIt will provide you with plastic bins, along with use of an online portal for you to catalog what’s going into each of your boxes. Then, when you find yourself in need of your feathered A-line dress, or an 18th century sitting room tchotchke, you can simply log into their website and request next day delivery of the specific box your item is housed in.
Want to keep it simple? With a bit of ingenuity, you can maximize the storing capacity of your apartment, no matter how small it is. Extra hooks, shelves, and hidden bins can give you extra space where you didn’t think you had any. Conversely, if you have large, bulky items that you won’t need for a while, but can’t bear to part with, a no frills

Popular in most major cities, you’ll be able to find a reasonably priced and conveniently located facility for your great-aunt’s antique curio cabinet, as long as you’re willing to move it in and out yourself.
