Most of us complain about the cost of living. It’s not just being parsimonious, it’s because the cost of living is skyrocketing and incomes aren’t keeping up. So when it comes to rent, even though the average financial advisor will recommend spending no more than 30 per cent on living expenses, the reality is, most people spend more. A lot more. This may flummox a great many people, but expectations and reality just don’t match. It really does
defy logic, but the reality is, many people have to decide between a comfortable home or a comfortable lifestyle. The answer may be in living further away, making more money or finding an alternative lifestyle. The struggle is real. We’ve got some great insight and a wide variety of listings, helping you overcome the challenge in this issue, plus more on ypnexthome.ca. Visit our website, search our YPNextHome App and get ready to make your move.

Advice | RENTAL RANTINGS
A renter’s guide to dealing with
noisy neighbours By Jennifer Braun
28
YPNEXTHOME.CA
RENTAL LIVING HAS ITS PERKS, but of the few compromises that come with this living culture, living with noise might be the biggest. It doesn’t matter if you have to deal with basketball all-stars living up-stairs or young beer pong champions living next door, you know the noise can take a toll on your life. Still, you also know you can’t get 100 per cent away from it. So, what do you do? The laws around neighbour noise aren’t clear cut. Before you blow a fuse and prance over to your neighbours to help get the frustration out and make yourself feel better, calm down and assess the situation. Ask yourself: Are my neighbours that loud or are my walls just paper thin? Are my neighbours being unreasonably loud or just annoyingly loud? You see, sometimes there’s a grey zone and it all comes down to perspective. Once you’re done assessing the situation, use this guide to help you deal with rental living noise. IF YOUR WALLS ARE PAPER THIN If your rental’s walls are paper thin, you’re probably annoying your neighbour as much as they are annoying you. Talk with your neighbour about the noise issue and try and agree on a reasonable timeframe where you can both get noisy activities done. Even with paper-thin walls, you’ll still be able to get your beauty sleep if you can both agree to not vacuum after 8pm. If possible, rearrange your furniture. Moving big furniture like your couch and storage wardrobe against the wall you share with your neighbour can actually help dampen some of the noise. If the noise issue is your downstairs neighbour, a
plush rug can also help dampen the noise and keep the peace. IF YOU’RE EASILY ANNOYED Playing music at three in the afternoon isn’t completely unreasonable and doesn’t merit a formal complaint. Living in a building with other people just comes with compromises. With that said, if your neighbour’s living routine is annoying you, think of ways that you can escape it. Get out of your rental more by getting work done at a café or catch an afternoon movie with friends. If you want to stay in, try and drown out your neighbour’s noise with your own background noise. The sound of your own TV and music will feel less annoying. Finally, a good investment might just be a pair of earphones or earplugs. Sometimes you just have to help yourself out. IF YOUR NEIGHBOURS ARE UNREASONABLE If your neighbours are actually being totally unreasonable – playing loud music into the wee hours of the night or have an uncontrollable barking dog– it’s time to pull out the big guns. Again, assess the situation and write down on paper specific times and dates when your neighbour took the noise too far. If telling your neighbour to keep it down doesn’t solve the problem, present the evidence to your landlord. Until you can get the issue sorted out, resort to helping yourself out with earplugs. Hopefully you don’t have neighbours from hell and this simple guide can keep you sane, at least until your lease is up!

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.
