How about the neighbours?

Your search for a new rental should include not only looking for a property and what amenties are in the area, but who lives in the area too.

As much as you may love a location’s proximity to transit, schools or shopping, you may be curious to know a thing or two about the new neighbours, too. Demographics.

The average age, marital status, education background; even what kind of vehicle they drive, if any, is available for over 2,500 different

areas of the country. Simply type in the neighbourhood you’ve been considering and have a look for yourself.

We’ve also been busy profiling many key neighbourhoods across the country so you can get a good look at the vibe of the area – we even consider the good and the bad.

You’ll find even more fun facts and figures as well as a wealth of other information and listings too. Check it out and let us know what you think.

They said yes!

+ get social

If you’ve ever proposed, you know that feeling of “Yes!” If you’ve ever applied for a job,It’s that feeling when you get it. “Yes!” If you’ve ever received that acceptance package from the university you really had your heart set on, you know the “Yes!” With extremely low vacancy rates, getting approved for an apartment is that same “Yes!” these days.

Much like applying to several universities or submitting numerous

resumes (though hopefully not having to make numerous proposals!) apartment hunting requires perseverance, a good presentation of yourself – and a little bit of luck.

Do not pin all of your hopes to one apartment, low vacancy rates mean lots of competition for vacancies – especially the more attractive ones.

Landlords can cherry pick a tenant.

Renters Guide, YPNextHome.ca and the YPNextHome app, with listings can help you on the search.

a rental housing leader in London for over four decades. Locally owned, their wellappointed properties are situated in some of the most desirable London locations.

Residents enjoy beautifully designed units, recreational spaces and meticulous maintenance of their properties by a professional management team.

This is nowhere more evident than at 940 Springbank Drive, the luxury highrise known as 940 on the Park. Just steps from Springbank Park, it boasts spectacular unobstructed views. Overlooking the park, you might easily mistake the location for Muskoka. Deer and foxes abound in the park, and red-tailed hawks have been known to perch on the balconies at 940.

Given the idyllic setting, it’s not surprising that many baby boomers and retirees looking to downsize have taken up residence in this deluxe rental building.

Ayerswood Development has created 940 on the Park with this lifestyle in mind, and is dedicated to smoothing the transition from the family home to a rental for its residents.

Supportive policies such as flexible move-in dates based on the sale or closing of a home will ease concerns during the move. Ayerswood’s special arrangement with a local storage company provides residents who require more time to decide how to furnish their new apartments the opportunity to do so at their leisure. The

company even employs a consultant who will visit your current home and help you choose what items to bring, and what to give away, store or sell.

From generous one-bedroom-withden to penthouse suites, each unit is sumptuously finished, with its own balcony or terrace. Residents select suites finished in either Modern or Traditional décor, and all feature solid Italian wood entrance doors, quartz countertops, and rich wood cabinetry. Deluxe guest suites are available at extremely reasonable rates for visitors.

The upscale amenities complete the lifestyle at 940 on the park. Highlights include high-speed elevators, a richlyappointed library, a movie room, and a quiet room for those who just need a break. Relax in the heated indoor pool with adjacent hot tub and sauna, or work out in the state-ofthe-art fitness room. An outdoor seating area, complete with fire pit, adds to the cottage-like environment. With easy access to shopping on Commissioners Road, as well as the area’s numerous biking and hiking trails, there are plenty of reasons to get outside.

If you’re sitting in an empty nest, it may be time to make the most of the equity you’ve worked a lifetime to build. Why not rent, live manintenance and worry free and just simplify? Visit 940onthepark.com and book a private tour to see the lifestyle that awaits.

Advice | RENTAL RANTINGS

5 tips for

Stress-Free Living

By Jennifer Braun

HAVING YOUR OWN RENTAL IS EXCITING and liberating, but somewhere down the line it can also cause some unnecessary anxiety. It’s not because rental living isn’t great, but because sometimes life just happens. One day you’re contemplating yellow or purple pillows for the living room and the next, you’re worried about paying your rent on time and finding a few spare minutes to clean your home.

Then, unexpected problems creep up at the worse moment. Of course the one day you’re late for work, you wake up to a leaking kitchen faucet!

Relax… life is crazy, but rental living doesn’t have to be. Take some advice and you’ll soon see rental living can be stress-free.

STAY ON BUDGET: Nothing can cause panic like not being able to meet your monthly rent. Of course you created a budget way before move-in day, but somehow this month your budget went south (I blame online shopping!). Take a second look at your budget and make sure there is plenty of breathing room for unexpected sales… I mean unexpected living expenses. Keep your budget top of mind. Paying bills is much more relieving than receiving bills you can’t pay.

CREATE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR LANDLORD: Having a good relationship with your landlord can make all the difference between a good and a bad tenant experience.

If you’re having problems with your rental, neighbours or any other issues, your landlord is your best bet to fix your problems quickly and keep stress off your back. Maintain a good relationship with your landlord by sticking to your lease obligations and communicating with them in good faith. You never know when you might want to put in a special request.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RENTAL ADVANTAGES: Renting is full of perks (which you pay for), so get informed and start taking advantage. Why are you rushing home to accept a package? Ask the concierge to pick it up for you. Is there a repair that needs to get done in your rental ASAP? Call your landlord and get the issue sorted.

There are many advantages to being a renter. Inform yourself and start rental living stress free.

KEEP IT ORGANIZED: After a long day at work, there is nothing more stressful or less appealing than having to go home to a major to-do list of things that have to be cleaned, cooked and set on fire. (No, you

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

can’t actually set your laundry on fire!) Instead, eliminate clutter and do home chores as you go along. A quick 15 minutes of cleaning a day can go a long way. You can’t have a stress-free home with three days worth of dirty dishes waiting at your sink. Find whatever tricks work best for you so you can stay organized and you will soon stay stress-free too.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: Finally, in order to be able to take care of your home you have to take care of yourself. Identify whatever is causing you stress and nix it in the butt right away. Take time for yourself. Break a sweat at your building’s fitness centre (again, you pay for it) or relax with some aromatherapy candles while you unwind with a book or your favourite Netflix series.

Don’t you feel less stressed already?

If you have a de-stressing dilemma or have questions about rental living in general, get in touch! Email us at AskRentersGuide@ypnexthome.ca perhaps the answer you need will be in the next Rental Ranting!

Advice | APARTMENTALITY

Creating a space in your home for your home business

By Kathryn Kusyszyn

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

Let’s assume you need a desk, a phone and a computer. These require power, an Internet connection and lighting. Note the outlets and electricity available. Ensure there is enough power to handle a space heater or fan, computer, printer, desk lighting and whatever else you need all at once. Beware of tripping hazards like extension cords and power bars.

YOU’RE TAKING THE PLUNGE INTO ENTREPRENEURSHIP. Now you need to make myriad decisions, starting with where in your home to set up your workspace. The right space can make all the difference to the success of your venture. Here are some considerations for effectiveness and productivity.

Enclosing a porch or a balcony may do the trick. At the very least – and if it’s all your apartment can handle, designate a corner of one room as work-only space. Ensure everyone knows this is a work-only area and off limits. A physical demarcation will assist with organization as well as support clear boundaries.

First off is the actual location. How much space is required and the type of space available will dictate where to set up shop. Depending on your space, a den, spare bedroom or mudroom can easily suit this purpose.

Claiming part of a basement could work as well. When a full room isn’t available consider converting a large foyer or the space under a staircase.

Make a list of the needs and desires for the type of work you’re going to perform. You may prefer a space that offers such features as privacy, quiet, optimal ventilation, natural light, bright colours, artwork and an inspiring view. Choose the elements that are crucial for you to be at your best. Fulfill the needs first; The majority of desires will follow.

If you will be seeing clients or colleagues in your space, there are other considerations. Check the local bylaws regarding signage and parking. The front walk will need to be well maintained with snow and ice removed when necessary. Clear entryways and preferably a direct route to the workspace rather than through living space are ideal. Ask friends and colleagues for their impressions and how you can make it more welcoming.

Just as important is the mental space. Entering a workspace that meets your needs and is designated as such allows the mind to focus.

When it’s both functional and pleasurable to be in, your work will flow.
