Life events get you moving The decision to move is often triggered by a life event, such as a new job or a new addition to the family, or simply because you want a change of scenery.

Whatever the reason, it’s important to address what your new needs are before you start hunting for a new place – rather than during. With all of the information available to you these days, it’s easy to get distracted.

To keep you on track and up to date on the latest listings available across Canada, check out this issue and our

website, YPNextHome.ca. Not only will you find an easy way to connect with prospective properties, you’ll be able to dig deep on details such as such as costs, neighbourhood information and much more.

Deciding to move is easy, it’s finding the right place that can sometimes be tough. Let us help.

Drop us a line and let us know if you have any questions or comments.

We’d love hearing from you.

Where to next?

Whether it’s a new job, a new school or a new adventure, there are many reasons why people move out of their city, out of their province and out of their comfort zone.

When I was 26 and freshly out of university. I wanted to explore Canada before deciding where to plant my roots. Traveling across the country was an amazing adventure.

I saw a lot and learned a lot. It opened my eyes to the difference between living in a big city versus a small town. It highlighted regional differences and made me love living in Canada even more.

If I did it now I think I’d get more out of it with the Internet and great information about different neighbourhoods. I think my travels and decisions would have been much better planned! I love the neighbourhood section on YPNextHome.ca for this reason.

And if you’re moving – out of your neighbourhood, city or province, I know you’ll find it instrumental in helping you relocate too!

Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide, and check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

GALT IS THE LARGEST OFthe three

smaller towns that amalgamated to form the City of Cambridge in 1973. Downtown Galt begins at the towering, Galt Collegiate Institute.

The neighbourhood comprises both banks of the Grand River and stretches south to Ainslie/Concession and up the hill to Dundas in the east.

It’s a slower pace here, owing partly to the older population. But it’s still a lively downtown. While it retains an urban feel, this is still relatively small-town Ontario. It’s a family friendly community on the cusp of gentrification.

Old meets new in this diverse

community. The surroundings are beautiful, with a living history feel, which is why so many movies and TV series are filmed here. The Grand River dominates the core, appropriate considering the river and its many mills are what drew so many to what was once the largest town around.

The converted mills are now beautiful loft condos or shopping complexes.

While most of the population falls into the Boomer category, young professionals in their 20s and 30s are moving into lofts and condos. They’re attracted to the area for its reasonable cost of living, nightlife options and cultural scene.

Downtown Galt is very easy on the budget, great for those who want to save money and still enjoy the perks of living right downtown. It’s highly walkable community with lots of amenities. Commuters reach can reach Brantford in a matter of minutes via Highway 24. North via Hespeler, it’s 10 minutes to the 401. KitchenerWaterloo and Guelph are within easy reach, and there are GO and Greyhound buses in addition to Grand River Transit for public transportation.

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 | RENTAL RANTINGS

Five signs you’re a renter

By Jennifer Braun

26

YPNEXTHOME.CA

IT DOESN’T TAKE a certain type of person to rent their own space, but a renter does become a certain type of person. Here are five signs you’re a renter.

1. YOU’RE A HANDYMAN (SORT OF) Just like home owning, your rental will present minor annoyances like a continuous leaking kitchen sink and a squeaking oven door. But as an experienced renter, you’re able to decode any cricks and cracks in your home and do minor repairs yourself. If not, you have your landlord on speed dial.

4. ULTIMATE LIFE HACKER Being a renter keeps you on your toes and your experience has served you well because today, you are the ultimate life hacker. It doesn’t matter what life throws your way, you’ve worked around your landlords “rules” and now you can find a solution to anything.

5. YOU ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES If you’re a new renter or an experienced renter,

2. WHY BUY WHEN YOU CAN DIY? Your rental is your home and naturally you want it to reflect your personality and taste. Yet, you always put off investing in good decor and furniture because you’re only renting. Never mind you’ve been only renting for the last 3 years. Instead, your Pinterest is filled with pins like “7 DIY projects for renters” and “28 decorating tricks to brighten up your rental home”.

3. YOU ROCK AT SMALL TALK You can only talk to your neighbours so many times throughout the year about the weather.

Instead of living though the awkward silence of an 11 floor elevator ride, you’ve mastered the art of small talk. You can keep a lighthearted conversation going for at least 90 seconds and you’re able to get out of it once you’ve reached your door. “Nice talking to you Bob!”

chances are you’re renting because you’re not sure where life is going, and you’re enjoying the ride. Either way, you roll with the punches and enjoy the flexibility that renting provides.

If any of these signs remotely describe you, congratulations! You are a renter.

What happens in the event of an apartment eviction?

By Anne Marshall

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

MOVING OUT OF YOUR APARTMENT

is usually a cause for celebration.

So what happens if your “fresh start” isn’t happening by choice, but instead by eviction? In Ontario, you can be evicted for non-payment of rent or regularly making late rent payments; disturbing your neighbours; causing excessive damage to the unit or building; committing illegal acts; exceeding the number of allowable tenants; or lying about your income at the time of application.

Your landlord may also evict you if they intend to demolish or renovate the property to an extent that requires you to vacate; rent the unit to a member of their immediate family (or that person’s caregiver); or no longer rent it as housing. If your building comprises three or fewer residential units, and your landlord sells it to someone who asks you to vacate, you may also be evicted, but only after the end of your lease period.

If you’re in any of these circumstances, here’s how the process works: Your landlord must first send you a Notice of Termination of your lease, outlining the specific reason(s) you are being asked to move. If the stated reason is something you can fix, like non-payment of rent, the notice will outline a specific timeline to correct the situation. If you are unable to address the wrong and will not agree to move, your

landlord must apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board for an eviction hearing, which you should definitely attend. But you can’t be forced to move until after the hearing happens.

Should the Board rule against you, an official Eviction Order will be issued. You’ll want to make arrangements to find another place to stay quickly, even if it’s only temporary.

Eviction orders are legally binding to all parties. Once an order has been issued against you, if you won’t leave voluntarily, your landlord must take that document to the Superior Court of Justice Enforcement (Sheriff’s Office) to schedule an eviction. The Sheriff then sends out a Notice to Vacate, instructing you to leave the rental unit on or by a specific date.

If you’re not insane, aim to be gone when they come knocking. Hunkering down behind boxes, screaming “You can’t do this to me!” like one notorious Toronto tenant, probably isn’t going to satisfy the law. Nor will it impress your landlord, who must accompany the Sheriff to the eviction. But if you do decide to stage a “Hell no, I won’t go” protest, here’s what you can expect: The Sheriff will knock on the door, announcing who they are, and ask you to leave. Even if you don’t answer, your landlord will gain entry, as you no longer have any legal right to occupy. Don’t bother with the deadbolt and chain, either: locks must be changed in the presence of the Sheriff, so there’s usually a locksmith on hand. While it’s incredibly rare for a tenant to not leave peacefully, in such instances police will be called to remove you from the property.

Once the lock is changed, if you haven’t got all your stuff out yet, you have 72 hours to do so. Your landlord has to make the unit accessible to you from 8 am to 8 pm for the next three days, so that you can retrieve your belongings. Beyond that point, anything that remains in the unit or building becomes your landlord’s legal property, and they can do whatever they wish with it. So if you’re facing a similar situation, you’ll want to be more than ready to go by the time the law arrives.

Advice | CONDO SENSE

Elevator Etiquette: The 10 Commandments

By Jane Herman

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

THERE’S A CERTAIN AMOUNT of common sense when it comes to elevator etiquette. If you live in a highrise, the elevator is the main way in and out of your home; a confined space in which you briefly encounter your neighbours several times daily.

The natural instinct is to be absorbed in your own headspace, preoccupied with where you’re headed, and keeping strangers at a distance. And yet, the other elevator occupants, unfamiliar as they may be, deserve a modicum of courtesy. Unfortunately, most people have forgotten their elevator etiquette.

10 Rules of Elevator Etiquette: 1. Out first, then in. It only makes sense. Allow passengers to exit before attempting to board the elevator.

2. Take the stairs if you are only going one or two floors, except if the elevator is empty or you have a cart, stroller, large packages or are disabled.

3. Hold the door for others who are running to catch the elevator — especially your neighbours coming from down the hall. A plague on anyone who watches the door slide shut in someone’s face!

4. If you’re sick, wait for an empty elevator. If that is impossible, don’t cough and sneeze for the duration of the ride. And if that is impossible, never put your germ-infested hands on the floor buttons.

38

YPNEXTHOME.CA

5. If you are first on the elevator or closest to the control panel, ask other riders what floor they would like. On the other hand, it’s somewhat rude to call out your floor to the person standing nearest the buttons as if that person is the elevator operator.

6. When other passengers board, move a little to give everyone some personal space.

7. Avoid carrying out interpersonal conversations, be they face-toface or — particularly — talking on your cellphone. The elevator is not a phone booth.

8. Likewise, if you’re listening to your iPod, turn down the volume so you don’t disturb other riders.

9. If you’re carrying a backpack, make sure it doesn’t land in someone’s face when you turn around.

10. Never drop litter or deface the walls of the elevator. Vandalism hurts everyone.

Riding in an elevator can bring out the best — or worst — in people. Think of the elevator as an extension of the building’s lobby, and of other riders as your guests. Remember, a little elevator etiquette goes a long way.

Now, enjoy the ride!

Spring cleaning?

You really ought to be doing this

By Elisa Krovblit

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

AN EXPERT ON THE chemistry of clean, Kim Dunn holds a degree in industrial microbiology and owns a Molly Maid franchise. We had so much fun speaking with Dunn the last time we hit our spring cleaning regime that we went back to discover more disgusting things we’re doing at home. We’re just as horrified, and upping the ante this year on our spring cleaning — and our year round routine.

Spring cleaning: Mattress and pillows » The problem: You probably don’t want to know how dirty your mattress and pillows are, and you may not be able to

not forget dust mites. You’re sweating, you’re excreting oils, shedding skin cells, and dust mites feast on skin cells. If they’re eating, they’re excreting,” chimes Dunn. “A mattress gains 10 per cent of its weight over the course of its lifetime — oils, mites, mite poo, skin cells. A typical mattress has between 100,000 and 10,000,000 dust mites feasting!” » The solution: Keep it covered and keep it clean. You should have a good mattress cover, one that’s waterproof and impervious to your skin cells and bodily secretions. You need to remove that cover once a month and wash it. “Laundering the cover regularly and vacuuming helps too. The vacuum gets rid of skin cells and mites.

When removing the mattress cover, vacuum the mattress. Use the vacuum’s crevice tool to get right into the creases.” You should also keep your pillows in protectors. Pillows do break down over time and should be replaced regularly.

Spring cleaning: Sports equipment sleep after you hear what Dunn has to say, but if you’re not using a good mattress protector, washing it once a month and vacuuming your mattress, Dunn explains that “you’ve got some lively behaviour beneath you at night! Mattresses and pillows are full of fungus and bacteria, and let’s 42

YPNEXTHOME.CA

» The problem: “Sports equipment. Really bad,” Dunn says right off the… err… bat. You almost don’t want to hear how bad. If your mind just went to the hockey bag, you’d be right — but don’t stop there. Think shin protectors, catcher’s masks, jocks, snowboard boots, football pads and yoga mats. They’re all breeding grounds. “If it smells, there’s something growing. It’s an abyss of germs in any given sports bag. Yes, I said an abyss,” she repeats herself. Most of that padding is made of

foam. “The surface area is 100 times what you think it is, like a sponge.”

It’s a massive surface area for germs and bacteria to grow. And don’t think it’s only those big sports bags, it’s also those yoga mats you roll up after class and throw into the trunk until you need them at the next class.

Think about how you use them, she suggests. You’re sweating on them and laying on them — and hot yoga is even worse. “Bacteria and fungus feed off of moisture — off of our sweat.” Worse than just being dirty, disease, like Staph A and MRSA, can be harboured and spread on this equipment. » The solution: “Deodorizing is not cleaning. Masking the odours is not killing anything.

Ozone cleaning. It’s the same as we used for sterilizing equipment in the lab.” You can take your equipment in for an ozone treatment and that will get rid of the smell and the bacteria.

You should also wash the equipment on a sanitizing cycle. “Cleaning may shorten the life of your equipment but it’s better than getting sick.”

Aside from treatments, the best thing you can do for your equipment, says Dunn, is to “Air it out and let it completely dry before you put it away. Put it in the sun to dry.” The UV light, she explains, is beneficial for drying out and killing bacteria and fungus. And that yoga mat? “Carry a spritz bottle, the little 100ml bottle you get at the drug store, fill it with water and add essential oils: 10 drops of tea tree oil and 10 drops of your favourite oil, like lavender, eucalyptus or citrus. Ideally, take it home, spray it down and let it air dry before putting it away,” she says. At the very least, Dunn advises to spray it down, let it soak for a minute to actually get to the bacteria, and then wipe it dry before rolling it back up and stashing it. And anything metal based, like a mask, should be swabbed down with rubbing alcohol.

“A study was done to see where the typical equipment fit within

our provincial guidelines for the acceptable limits of bacteria: Shoulder pads: 19 times higher than the acceptable limit Helmet: 30 times higher than the acceptable limit Pants: 180 times higher than the acceptable limit Jock: 376 times higher than the acceptable limit Shin pads: 3,440 times higher than the acceptable limit.

There are 188,650 bacteria/25 square centimetre in shin pads. If it smells, it’s growing.”

Spring cleaning: Pets » The problem: “The fur babies bring in a bevy of bacteria and change the microbiome of your home. Over half of the microdiversity in the home can be attributed to the animals in that home, from what they have naturally existing on their bodies,” she explains.

And while they bring in their own specific bacteria and share it wherever they go and with whomever they touch, they also have some filthy habits that we really need to address.

“Animals also bring a lot of poo into our homes,” says Dunn. Whether they’re running around the dog park or just in the backyard, dog paws and fur are picking up whatever they touch. Rotting leaves and dead fish are like perfume to dogs – they roll in just about anything that smells good to them. And then they come into your home, walk on your carpets, sit on your sofa, nuzzle up against you, snuggle up in your bed – and share all

of it with every point of contact.

“In comparing homes with and without dogs, they found homes with dogs had more types of bacteria.

TV screen: 52 per cent more Pillow cases: 42 per cent more Fecal contamination in homes with animals is 30 to 35 per cent higher.”

And then there’s the cat – their litter box use guarantees their paws are covered with fecal contamination, and then they like jumping up on the countertop, curling up on your bed, walking along shelves – leaving a bacteria trail wherever they wander. » The solution: Aside from swearing off pets – because, let’s face it, that’s not an option for many of us, wiping off their paws is a big factor in reducing the contamination. “We wipe off our feet when we come in the house.

Clean their paws with soap and water, or at least wipe them off when they come in. And keep pets off of furniture and bedding. Put a washable blanket on their favourite spots – and wash that weekly.

“Don’t let animals drink out of the toilet, it’s a huge cross-contaminant – and wash hands after playing with animals. Wash the dog’s bedding if they have a doggie bed. (And if it doesn’t have zip-off cover, don’t buy it!)”

Spring cleaning parent tip: Lice “We never had lice. Add eight to 10 drops of tea tree oil into your shampoo.” This is a natural lice repellent. Dunn says you may find the tea tree oil leaves a scent, but it’s greatly preferential to lice!

So, what are you planning to clean first?
