City living CITY LIVING — some people love the
pace and crave it 24/7. That’s me. I know a lot of people prefer a quieter area, a slower pace, a suburban lifestyle — but I jokingly say that if I cannot walk to a store that’s open within five minutes, any time of the day or night, that I’ve left civilization. For those who can’t leave the hustle and bustle behind, there really is something for everyone. Rental living isn’t one-size-fits-all. Shop around and you’ll find the vacancy ads as interesting as dating profiles.
+ get social
Some have flash — expensive finishes, lots of amenities, while others are more back-to-basics and pared back to work with smaller budgets. There are luxury penthouses with great views, small bachelors that provide just enough place for the necessities, and everything in between. You just have to find the right fit. And we’re here to help. This issue of Renters Guide we’ve got some great rental living advice, plus more on NextHome.ca, making it easy to make your move.

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 | RENTERS’ HELP
Five things every renter should do By Elisa Krovblit YOU’RE A RENTER and you appreciate the lifestyle. Ask any homeowner who has received an unexpected roof repair bill, or had to call a plumber or had to move to accept a job offer - and you’ll appreciate it even more – especially all of you “all inclusive” renters. Have you heard the news about hydro prices these days? Or do you enjoy your luxury of not having to pay attention to that issue. But rental living has a few demands that can be easily met by every resident, ensuring that their rental experience should be nothing but maintenance-free and smooth sailing. 1. Understand your lease
You signed it and you’re bound by it. Whenever you’re about to sign a contract – and yes, your lease is a legally binding contract – read it and make sure you understand it. If there is anything you don’t agree with, ask. If there is any wrong info, have it corrected. Leases can be negotiated, changed and rewritten. Once it’s signed, those are the rules. 2. Know your rights
Each province and territory has its own set of rental rules and there will be a landlord and tenant board or government office that enforces them. Know how to access them and understand the basics. If anything in your lease contradicts the rental law, the rental law overrules. If you have issues during your tenancy, these are a great place to start to find out what your rights are and how to resolve them. You’ll also need to know how your deposits work and how to give proper notice. If you do that wrong you might find yourself on the hook for a lot of money you weren’t expecting to spend. 3. Rental insurance
A lot of renters are under the misinformed impression that the 28
landlord has you covered. The landlord has insurance, but it’s coverage for the building – literally the structure, mechanicals and the common areas. You need tenant’s insurance to cover your personal belongings. Imagine if you had to replace everything you own at once. Clothes, furniture, electronics, kitchenware etc. Imagine a pipe bursts and destroys much of what’s in its path. And it’s not just property loss or damage, if there is a fire and you’re displaced, your insurance will help cover that. If a visitor has an accident in your premises, insurance foots the lawsuit bill. Rental insurance is quite inexpensive. Many leases stipulate you must have it, but even if it’s not mandatory, it’s not a good idea to skip it. 4. Check your credit
If you’re thinking about moving – now or in the future – keep an eye on your credit. You’re going to have a bit of trouble moving with bad credit since most landlords now do a
credit check as part of the application process. If you pay bills late, try to break the habit. See what’s on your credit report and try working to repair it. Plus, sometimes mistakes get made. You don’t want a mistake to cost you a rental opportunity – or any opportunity for that matter! 5. Laundry
In-suite laundry is becoming much more common, especially in upscale, newly renovated or new buildings. But if you don’t have it in your suite, make sure you’re laundry-room ready. Get a bundle buggy or laundry cart to store your soap and make transporting loads to and from the laundry room much easier. (Bundle buggies are great for taking stuff to and from the car too). Keep a stock of supplies and get into the habit of reloading your card or replenishing your stash of quarters after each laundry day. That way you’re not scrounging and scrambling if you need to do an emergency load or want a last-minute outfit.

Advice | THE RENTALIST
The best non-reno renos for your rental unit By Jackie Marchildon AS A RENTER, YOU’VE LIKELY HAD a moment or two when you wished you could make a big change to your rental unit — the countertops, the flooring — or, on a bad day, everything. But you also know you can’t make drastic changes, and you probably don’t really want to invest that much time and money into it. Luckily, there are a number of options for renters that can help make big changes without the headache (and illegality) of renovating a rental.
Use contact paper Generic countertops are a staple in rental units but they are easy to change without renovations. Contact paper comes in all kinds of colours and designs and applying it can make a huge difference in the kitchen. You can change your counters or even add a backsplash without painting or breaking the bank. Remove cupboard doors Most of the time we think we need to add things to make a big difference, but that’s not always true. If you remove the doors of your kitchen cupboards, for example, you create a bright, open-concept look. For an even richer effect, you can paint the insides of the cupboards or use contact paper to liven it all up. Change light fixtures and switches Replacing boring light fixtures with new distinctive ones like chandeliers or pendant lamps can really alter the look of your unit. If your home feels dark, this helps in the obvious
MORE ADVICE ONLINE nexthome.ca/news/advice
way of brightening the space up, but it also helps a rental feel more unique. Check with your landlord before you play with anything electrical and you need to hire a professional. You can also change your light switch plates. Replace the dull plastic ones with something fancy like gold or bright-coloured plates to create little pops of colour throughout your home. Paint and hang mirrors Painting can be a pain, but it can have dramatic effects on a space. To mimic the look of a chair rail, paint two-tone walls — use a dark colour in the upper area and a lighter one in the lower section. If your wish is for spaciousness, paint a light colour and hang mirrors. Incorporating mirrors into your decor helps lighten up a space and they tend to look nice too. Invest in a portable dishwasher and/or an island In spirit of creating more space (and keeping you sane if you feel like
you’re always doing dishes), buy a portable dishwasher. Not only will it save you hours of dishwashing time, it’ll give you more counterspace! If you already have a dishwasher, and simply crave more counters, buy an island — it works as storage, a counter and a table. Add smart storage If you wish you could build more closets in your house (or build a garage), find unique ways to store stuff. Ceiling hooks are a great way to hang big items like bikes and shelves can double as storage and decor. Change the hardware A new showerhead can make a huge difference in the bathroom. If you buy the right one, it’ll make you feel like you’ve renovated your shower and it’ll look nice and shiny. While you’re at it, see if you can change up your faucets and little drawer knobs too. These little changes yield big results.
