love my car, but sometimes I wonder if the convenience is really worth it.

If I didn’t own a vehicle, I’d save hundreds of dollars every month, not to mention get some much needed exercise by walking more than I currently do, while reducing my carbon footprint.

If you use public transportation as your way to get around, living in a transit friendly area becomes one of the most important things to consider when you’re looking for a new location. The other alternative is to live near a Zipcar or AutoShare location. These are car sharing clubs. All you need to join is a driver’s license and a clean driving record to enjoy the benefits. You can use a car for a few hours or a few days and then drop it right back off where you picked it up.

It’s a great alternative to owning a car since gas and insurance are usually covered and you don’t ever have to get a car wash or an oil change. Many rental properties in Canadian cities have started to incorporate this service into their communities. When you’re out shopping around for a new place to call home, be sure to ask about transit and alternates like car clubs. Save money and be kind to the environment.

ou are a great tenant. Your pets – they’re good tenants too, right?

For some, Rover and Muffin are the fur family. Some treat pets like humans. Some take their pets everywhere they go. Designer carriers and toy pooch purses are a fashionable accessory. My mother crocheted little outfits for her dog to keep him warm. When I met my husband I found he always made his dog a hot meal for dinner. I get it, they’re family. But not everyone feels this way.

In an apartment building, people have no way of avoiding your pets. It’s your responsibility to ensure your pet is the perfect tenant. While some provinces have legal provisions to allow or prohibit pets on the premises, the bottom line is that non-pet-owners should not be put out by neighbouring animals.

Do your duty and poop ’n’ scoop. Nobody – and I mean nobody – likes to find it on the grounds. Often enough, a mindful neighbour will turn in dog owners that don’t pick up after their pooch. And no, the balcony is not a reasonable alternative to a walk. Do right by your dog – and your neighbours.

The elevator and hallways are common areas. We all have to share them – but kitty shouldn’t be out wandering the halls. No pets should be out of the apartment alone, unsupervised. It’s dangerous to your pet to wander alone, and beyond that, other people may be allergic, or may have a phobia, or may not want a white cat rubbing along their black pant leg, leaving an unsightly fur trail. They chose not to have a pet, they shouldn’t have to deal with the drawbacks from yours. That goes for dogs jumping up on neighbours. It may be hard to restrain them on the elevator – and that may mean you need to wait for an empty elevator or take the stairs.

Fish, ferrets, dogs, cats, hamsters, canaries and gerbils – there are so many little animals to love. Find the perfect home for you and yours – we’re here to help! Our magazine and website, plus RentersGuide.ca and our new Renters Guide app, offer the best selection of available apartments as well as great articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

moving

It’s important to understand

THE CONTRACT

BY CHUCK RESNICK

HIRING PROFESSIONAL MOVERS CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF WORK AND AGGRAVATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT’S INVOLVED. The best way to ensure that situation is for all parties to communicate effectively.

From the mover’s point-of-view, having a contract that is clear and agreed upon is the number-one way to achieve success.

In Ontario, service agreements with moving companies come under the umbrella of Consumer and Corporate Affairs. When we provide you with a written quote in person, by law, we cannot charge you greater than 10 per cent over the amount stipulated in the contract – unless you change the conditions of the move.

At Two Men and a Truck - Canada, we price by the hour, whatever it takes. If you call and ask to have 100 boxes moved, and we show up to find 200, of course we have to charge more than what we agreed upon. That is considered a change to the conditions of the move.

Moving takes time, and there are many unexpected situations that might cause a delay and make your price go up. For example, the person who moves out of your apartment building before you may be running late, and the elevator is tied up longer than you planned. For the mover, the meter is running the entire time.

Sometimes customers neglect to tell us that they are giving a large furniture item to a friend or relative and want us to drop it off on the way. This is a change to the conditions of the move and will cost more. The most common glitch is that the key to the new home isn’t available when it should be, and someone has to drive somewhere to get it. We bill RentersGuide.ca from dock to dock, so anything that increases the time also ups the price. When one of these unexpected happenings occurs, the mover will pull out a form called “Revision to Estimate” to explain the change, and everyone signs it.

to quote on moving them from or to separate addresses.

This is do-able, as long as they understand they pay for our crews’ time. It may well be more cost effective than hiring movers separately to have a number of students belongings all on the same truck.

We hire our own staff rather than casual or day labour. Our employees are trained professionals who are bonded and insured.

Make sure you hire a reputable mover whose crew members are covered by Workers’ Compensation and who has a bona fide phone number linked to their office to call if and when you need to, especially on moving day. When all is said and done, customers should check with reliable sources to ensure they are hiring a bona fide professional firm.

At Two Men and a Truck – Canada, we use the latest in technology when it comes to hardware and software to help us with estimating. A contract lets you and your mover know where you stand. Read it carefully and ask any questions you have. An informed consumer is always a happier one. Visit www.twomen.ca

FIVE TIPS for small space survival

BY YANIC SIMARD PHOTOS BY BRANDON BARRÉ, STACEY BRANDFORD & TED YARWOOD also a guest bedroom. Also consider multi-purpose furniture; a large ottoman with a top that opens can serve as a coffee table, extra seating and even storage for blankets and pillows.

2. PROPORTIONS: If your furniture is oversized in comparison to the area it’s in, you will not get maximum use out of every inch of your home. Choosing furniture that is proportionate to the space is key when designing your place. Don’t fall in love at first sight. Bring a measuring tape (which should be – or will become – your best friend when furnishing a small space) with you when you go shopping, and if the piece is too big just walk away! You’ll find something better.

3. CONTAIN THE CLUTTER: Practical storage solutions are a must when space is limited, so make use of your vertical space. Consider hiring a company that specializes in custom-built closets. Closet organizers will save your life. Floor-to- ceiling wall units and book shelves are also a great way to make use of the vertical space in your home, and can be a great place to store items and show off some of your prized possessions.

4. OPEN FURNITURE: Furniture that has legs tends to create a feeling of more openness in a space. Having a few pieces with closed bottoms such as an ottoman or a few stools is okay, but the majority should be open at the base. Transparent furniture is also a personal favourite of mine to use in small spaces – for example the ghost chair.

WHETHER YOU’RE STYLING YOUR PINT-SIZED APARTMENT OR JUST YOUR PETITE POWDER ROOM, DECORATING ANY SMALL SPACE can be made easy if you go about it in the right way. No matter what the scale of the project, some planning is always required. An undersized area needs an immense amount of thought, resulting in a fully functional and practical, warm and liveable space. Consider my five tips when designing your tiny quarters.

1. MULTI-PURPOSING: If you have a very small space, you may not have separate living and dining RentersGuide.ca areas.

Combine the two by purchasing a high streamline sofa or sofa bed and a few side chairs that can be tucked away when not in use. When dining, bring the chairs in towards the sofa and place a round dining table in the middle. If you decide to go with the option of the sofa bed, this RentersGuide.ca room is now not only a living and dining room, but

5. VISUAL FLOW: Visual flow is the path your eyes take when looking at something as a whole. Your eyes should not focus on one particular area of the home. Your space should balance, creating harmony. I create harmony by using a combination of elements, such as using a variety of textures. Mix different fabrics together – silk, chenille, linen, suede velvet and sheers all together in monochromatic tones. I’m also known for painting the walls and trim work the same colour, the walls in matte but the trim in semi-gloss. Maintenance plays a big role in creating harmony. Visual flow will be obstructed if you’ve got a clutter – you need keep everything simple, clean and organized.

Designing your small space may feel like a challenge at first, but if you tackle it in the right way you’ll be amazed with the results, and how it ends up not feeling like a small space after all. An undersized area needs an immense amount of thought, resulting in a fully-functional and practical, yet warm and livable space.
