On the hunt for quality IT’S TRUE THAT LOCATION is very important, but it’s just as important to base your apartment hunt on quality. Not all landlords and management companies are equal. Some pride themselves in creating a quality experience – proactively fixing things, ensuring resident satisfaction, taking an honest interest in their buildings and striving to provide quality. Some cities have landlord licensing, some cities have quality assurance programs. Both of these can help to give you insight into the quality of your prospective new apartment, but
+ get social
when it comes down to it, it doesn’t take a private eye to figure out the good from the bad. Google is also your friend – search the address, search the building name, search the property management company. Like what you see? When at the property, just ask residents. People love to complain as much as they love to brag. They’ll often give you the inside scoop – and that’s what you want! Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide. Check us out online at NextHome.ca for more rental insights, and get ready to rent your new home!

THIS FORMER WORKING CLASS NEIGHBOURHOOD is one of the last
in the city to be transformed into a community on the move. With a prestigious location at the foot of the escarpment, it’s taken a while to draw newcomers, but now it’s as indemand as any other hotspot. People live here, really live here. There are schools, trails and there is a sense of safety due in large part to neighbourhood associations taking back their community with events and activities that draw in positive influences and visitors. It’s a brief walk to take the kids to school or one of many parks, hit the rail trail, hop on
the GO or walk to downtown. Work, play and dine is the essence in the air of today’s Corktown. There are dozens of options for shopping and dining. Bikable and walkable, it ranks high on walkability scales. Corktown is home to about 7,500 residents. Still the home of old-timers who moved into affordable cottages a lifetime ago, they are slowly being purchased by those looking for city living. Some rowhouses are being converted to live/work homes and businesses are fuelling the redux. Not downtown, but close enough, Corktown offers the best of both worlds: nightlife plus a place to live
in an area following the trends of city living. The Art Deco-styled Hamilton GO Station is ideal for commuters. With its tiny streets and dead ends truncated by the CN tracks and overpasses, traffic is often limited. The Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) offers regular bus service. There is also DARTS service for those who require accessible transportation. Corktown is only a few minutes from the Wellington access up the escarpment or into downtown.

Ontario building bike storage at GO stations and carpool lots ONTARIO IS MAKING IT EASIER for cyclists to commute to and from work, school and appointments with the construction of new, secure bike storage lockers at GO Transit stations and car pool lots across southern Ontario. This investment is part of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan and is funded by proceeds from the province’s cap on pollution and carbon market. Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca and Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Eleanor McMahon were in Burlington recently to launch the new Commuter Bike Parking Program, which will help encourage people to take their bikes as part of their daily commute.
Details: • Eight bike lockers will be installed at 15 commuter parking lots across the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area, Niagara and Simcoe Region for a total of 120 bike lockers. Work will be finished by the end of March 2018. • Twenty-eight bike rooms will be installed at 26 GO Transit stations in the Greater Toronto Area over the next four years as part of Ontario’s GO RER program, expanding storage capacity while enhancing security. The first locations, which will be complete by spring 2018 include, Appleby, Markham, Mount Pleasant, Bronte, Unionville, and Stouffville.

Advice | MOVING
Research movers By Chuck Resnick
MORE ADVICE ONLINE nexthome.ca/news/advice
HIRING THE RIGHT MOVING COMPANY
can save you lots of work, stress and headaches in the long run. Industry professionals are accustomed to handling all kinds of moves, from apartments to homes and offices. We understand how to pack, mark and transport items of all shapes, sizes and levels of fragility. We appreciate the importance of what we do, because people’s “stuff” is so much more to them than a collection of items. Although many consumers
before you hire
move themselves and do a good job of it, enlisting professional movers is the choice of many others. However, you do want to be careful that the company you hire is above board and upholds strict standards. How can you tell? Do your research by asking questions: Is the company a member of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM)? This organization exists to help people find reputable movers they can trust. To explore a company’s reputation, you can also contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and your provincial government’s consumer protection agency. Visit mover.net to learn more about what CAM has to say – the first three things listed are: • Ask three movers for estimates in writing
Your nexthome is waiting.
• Get the terms and conditions of your move in writing. • Ensure you know how your goods will be protected for loss or damage. If a company representative does not know how to answer your questions or glosses over them, a red flag should go up. It’s best for everyone involved to have a moving contract that outlines what is expected. Read it and ask questions about anything you don’t understand. Hiring a company you can trust makes for a more comfortable, less stressful and successful move.
