Life events get you moving If you’re a regular reader of Renters Guide, you know we offer a variety of information for those looking for a new place to call home. But did you know it is your responsibility as a tenant to know your rights and responsibilities prior to signing a lease agreement? By knowing the terms of the rental contract ahead of time, you will be well informed and able to determine if the location is the right one for you. Once you choose your location, a
landlord should give you adequate written notice when rent or landlord services have been adjusted, and you should be able to discuss any clarifications or adjustments before a new lease is signed. Drop us a line and let us know if you have any questions or comments. We’d love hearing from you.

Leaving your community is a big deal. Whether you’ve spent years – or decades – in a neighbourhood, it’s only when you leave it that you can truly realize how entrenched your life is in the place you live. Day after day you take the same paths, visit the same stores and utilize the same amenities. You’ve got a relationship with the people that make your coffee, handle your banking and sell you incidentals at the corner store. All of these relationships
disappear when you move to a new neighbourhood. An easy way to find your groove in a new neighbourhood is a little bit of research. Check out YPNextHome. ca, where we feature almost 3,000 neighbouhoods across the country. We can help you find out about that new community you’re moving to. Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide. For more info on the rental market and rental living insight check out ypnexthome.ca, YPNextHome App and get ready to make your move.

Rental Scams How do they work?
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
By Elisa Krovblit
RENTAL SCAMS ARE AN ongoing problem. Many rely on victimizing people at a disadvantage - new Canadians not familiar with rental rules and laws, first-time renters and generally those people who are trusting and/or unfamiliar with how scams are perpetrated. But rental scams are becoming more sophisticated, don’t think it can’t happen to you. How are rental scams perpetrated? Knowing the different types of rental scams – and the warning signs – can help you steer clear of falling victim. 1. YOU CAN’T SEE THE APARTMENT: This one is easy to spot, but it can be hard to manage if you are trying to secure an apartment in a location you are not yet in, but will be moving to shortly. It seems like a hassle to move to a new city and spend one to two months in temporary accommodations while trying to find an apartment, but demanding money for a place, sight unseen, is a very common scam. How do you know the apartment you viewed online is real - or even available? Are those actual pictures or are they pictures the scammer took of another apartment or stock photography? If out of town, find someone in town to visit for you. You can do a search of the address to see if there are any listings on it. You might even try a reverse phone look-up on a directory website. Just type in the address and call the number of the resident that’s there. They’d be the current tenant. They can tell you if the person you’re dealing with is legit or not, and if they’re actually vacating for the date you’ve been given for moving in. And if you’re in the same city and a landlord makes excuses why they absolutely cannot show you the apartment – run! That’s one of the biggest red flags of all. Even if renovating, they should have access. 2. CASH OR WIRE TRANSFER: You’ve never met the person but they like you and are willing to rent you an apartment on the spot. They ask for cash or a wire transfer. That’s very suspicious. Without going through a bank there is no paper trail. Once the money is in their hands there is no way to follow it - and with cash, there’s no way to even prove you handed it over. Don’t think a receipt will help, especially hand written. E-transfers, cheques and credit cards all leave a trail. Scammers don’t want a trail because they want to disappear with your money. Don’t give them the ability! 3. INFORMALITY: While there are still landlords and property managers that “Dig your vibe and have a gut feeling about you,” most landlords and property managers want a little more certainty about you as a tenant. They want a lease, some contact info, a rental application, references and a credit check. With such a low vacancy rate at the moment, any landlord eager to get to your wallet without the business formalities is truly a big red flag. 4. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: Scammers often prey on people’s wants and needs. If something is too good to be true, it probably is. 16

You should be aware of the price range and going rates for the areas you’re searching. If you find something that is well below market value, ask yourself why. What other possible reason could someone have for giving you - a complete stranger - a break in market rent? Too nice, too big, too new for what the price is? Question it. This is the biggest warning sign in avoiding a scam. 5. THE CON: You go over to the apartment for rent and there is someone waiting there, as promised, to show your around. They seem nice, the place is reasonable and you want it. The person has you fill out forms and asks you for a deposit. In this con, the current tenant, who may be posing as a landlord, is the scammer, taking deposits from everyone that comes to see the apartment. They’re likely behind on rent and planning to take off. They may even provide you keys or offer to sell you furnishings. Scammers know how to make people trust them. They aren’t making this up as they go they’ve planned for this. They often make up identities, create their own email, Facebook page, LinkedIn profile, even print business cards. Con artists and scammers know how to prey on people by working their emotions. Don’t trust someone because they are nice. Don’t think someone is going to do you a favour “because they like you.” Don’t give in to pressure tactics - they will often push for a quick decision because they’ve got lots of interested people for this great deal if you don’t take it. If there is so much interest, then they don’t need to pressure you. When in doubt, keep your money in your wallet. Make calls to the property management company to confirm the location and price of a vacancy. Use the corporate website number, not the number in the ad when confirming. Visit the property. Leave a paper trail. Ask to see ID. If you do experience a rental scam, make sure you involve the police as quickly as you can. The more vigilance there is, the harder it will be for scammers to find their next victim.

Neighbourhood Profile
Niagara-on-the-lake “Canada’s prettiest town”
MORE PHOTOS ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/niagara-on-the-lake
JUST SLIGHTLY DOWN RIVER
from Niagara Falls itself sits the beautiful, historically significant town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. The community is bounded to east by the Niagara River, the north by Lake Ontario, to the west by Read Road and the Welland Canal, and stretches as far south as Glendale Avenue and York Road at St. Catharines. Leisurely lakeside strolls, nights at the theatre, wine tasting and food fanaticism are all a big part of the lifestyle here. This community expects the best of all of these things, and produces it, too! While it can be especially buzzing with excitement
during the summer months, the heritage district is busy year-round, simply due to its proximity to the Falls. You can’t get any closer to the U.S. and still live in Canada, but residents here take particular pride in their history of fending off advances from their neighbours. For well over 200 years Niagara-on-the-Lake has held the fort – literally, that’s Fort George – on the Canadian side of the Niagara River. Voted “Canada’s prettiest town,” it’s steeped in history, teeming with “so-and-so slept here” plaques. Owners have lovingly maintained these homes so well that it’s no surprise that even the brand-new
subdivisions are using their designs as templates. NOTL is also home to the world-renowned Shaw theatre festival, and counts a higher-thanaverage number of artists, musicians, actors and other cultural contributors in its ranks. Exceedingly popular with retirees, Niagara-on-the-Lake is home to fewer than the average number of households including children – but this is changing as the town expands along Highway 55 in particular. Young professionals and families fleeing the grittier urban areas of St. Catharines and Niagara Falls are drawn to the beautiful new houses and townhomes that, while upscale for this region, are still relative bargains compared to GTA prices. It’s a very inclusive community that seems to welcome newcomers.
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
The pros and cons of
dating the neighbour By Jennifer Braun
36
YPNEXTHOME.CA
YOU NEVER KNOW where you might find love – at your local coffee shop, in the gym or even in your rental’s elevator. If you think you found your future soul mate in the latter, then you’re about to find out that dating your neighbour can get complicated. Honestly, whoever came up with the “boy next door” fantasy didn’t have a clue! Still, you can’t help who you love, so I’ll let you be the judge. Here are the pros and cons of dating a neighbour. PRO: TALK ABOUT CONVENIENCE! At home movie nights and dinner dates are literally just a couple of steps or an elevator ride away. This will allow you to spend more time with your significant other cuddling up on the couch or getting to know each other better. In the dead of winter, who wants to battle the cold and leave the building anyway? CON: GETTING TOO COMFORTABLE TOO FAST Getting comfortable with your significant other is an awesome feeling, but inter-building dating might lead you to get too comfortable, too fast. If you don’t carefully balance going out and staying in on date nights, you might find yourself hanging out in your pyjamas and ordering take out sooner than expected. PRO: YOU GET TO KNOW THEM VERY WELL There’s no place to hide when you’re dating your neighbour, so you’ll get to know your beau’s schedules and affairs very well. Not to mention the close proximity will probably lead you into their rental fairly quickly, and there’s nothing like dissecting a person’s home to help you figure them out. CON: WHAT PRIVACY? Living close to your significant other is great, until you don’t want to see them right now. Everyone needs some alone time, but that can be impossible if you start to feel like every spare minute should be spent next door, or you meet at the mailbox or the pool or the fitness room whether you want to or not. Set boundaries and
make sure no one comes knocking uninvited. PRO: CASH SURPLUS Quick dates will often not require a coffee date rendezvous or a cheap bite to eat at a local bistro. That means more cash in your pockets. CON: IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER On that same note, missing out on the small things that couples usually do when first getting to know each other may lead your romance straight into hot water. You want to get to know your significant other in all situations. Do they offer to pick up the bill? Are they snarky with the Starbucks barista (big turnoff!)? It’s all these small things that can make you see a significant other in a different light. PRO: TWO RENTALS ARE BETTER THAN ONE When you’re inter-building dating, you’ll never have to worry about running out of anything again. You’ll basically be living out of two apartments. One more bottle of wine? I’ll go upstairs to get that. CON: TALK ABOUT AN AWKWARD BREAK-UP When you couple-up, there’s always a potential break-up if it doesn’t work out. Hopefully, you’re both mature enough to do this in an amicable way, but let’s be honest – no one wants to bump into their ex, let alone be stuck in an elevator with them. Now that’s awkward elevator talk! Now that you know all the pros and cons, the choice is up to you. Will you give your neighbour a chance? Want to share an experience dating your neighbour? Or do you have questions about rental living in general? Email us at AskRentersGuide@ypnexthome.ca - perhaps the answer you need will be in the next Rental Rantings!

Advice | MOVING
Things your movers
can and cannot do By Chuck Resnick
42
YPNEXTHOME.CA
WHEN YOU HIRE A MOVING COMPANY, it is important to understand what services the firm can and cannot provide. At Two Men and a Truck – Canada, we pride ourselves on accommodating our clients in every possible way. But there are some requests that pose problems. MOVE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, CONTAINERS OF FUEL AND GAS-POWERED ITEMS, SUCH AS LAWN MOWERS THAT ARE NOT EMPTIED OF FUEL: This is in accordance with Ontario’s Health and Safety Act and Hazard Materials Act. The law prohibits us from transporting these types of goods. MOVE LIVE PLANTS: Many movers, including our company, have their own guidelines about this. Securing plants takes a level of special treatment that we are not prepared to offer. If customers need advice on how to move plants, we can help them find companies that are equipped to do so. In our experience, most customers move plants themselves. MOVING ANIMALS: Moving animals takes special care, and movers are not willing to take responsibility for pets during a move. You are best to arrange for them to be somewhere else on moving day, and then ease them into their new surroundings yourself. REARRANGE YOUR FURNITURE: Sometimes people ask us to rearrange their furniture at their destination, which adds to the time estimated for your move. We are happy to provide you with this service – for a fee – but it shouldn’t be assumed it is automatically included. MOVE PERSONAL VALUABLES: It makes sense that small valuables such as jewelry, stocks, bonds and cash are items you want to transport yourself. STOP THE CLOCK BECAUSE THERE IS A CHANGE ON YOUR END: We get paid from the time we leave our facility until the time we return. If you change the parameters of your contract or something unexpected happens on your end to cause a delay, the move continues
on as planned, but will likely extend longer than your estimate. MOVE ITEMS LARGER THAN WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO: When we see items that are too big and bulky for us to handle, we will let you know. Upright pianos, for example, are incredibly heavy and usually require heavyduty dollies and a truck with a lift gate. We can definitely help you with any size of piano. Massive walls can also present challenges. We can help you find the right firm to move those specialty items, if required. PROVIDE INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ITEMS OF EXTRAORDINARY VALUE: Ontario’s Conditions of Carriage requires movers to insure items at least 60 cents per pound. If our coverage does not include antiques or works of art, we can arrange it through our Insurer as long as these items are itemized upfront. Your tenants insurance policy may also have a rider for goods in transit. INSTALL MAJOR APPLIANCES: We are neither plumbers nor electricians. If you require installation of your major appliances, arrange to have those professionals help you during your moving week. LOAD PRE-PACKED BOXES AND ITEMS INTO A U-HAUL OR POD: We do not do “load only moves.” If someone else is driving the vehicle and the goods are not under our control, we can’t take responsibility for the condition of the goods at their final destination. All of the above help ensure that your possessions arrive at the other end in one piece, with the safety of you, your family and the movers in mind. And, that’s our job!

Advice | APARTMENTALITY
The perks of LIVING ALONE By Kathryn Kusyszyn
TO HAVE A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN, as famously championed by Virginia Woolf, is a necessity for a woman writer. In modern times, more women (and men), whether writers or not, are taking advantage of financial independence to enjoy the benefits of solitary living. In our overcrowded world, with incessant advertising, stimulation, and pollution of all sorts, living alone provides a sanctuary for the soul. It’s a respite for the individual who needs to recharge, with somewhat surprising social and creative implications. Primary among the benefits of living alone is the freedom afforded to come and go as one likes, do as one pleases, and not answer to anyone. There is no need to deal with others’ preferences in the areas of music, food, decorating, entertainment, temperature and above all, cleanliness. Only one person’s mess to clean up, one person’s laundry, one person’s dishes… ah, heavenly!
Other perks are privacy and the opportunity for full self-expression. No one is present to cramp one’s style. Wandering the house in all manner of (un)dress is perfectly acceptable, as is ordering in at 3am, having spontaneous dance parties, and leaving the dishes unwashed for days. This type of home is conducive to productivity, since there is no one around to get into long conversations with. The next Great Canadian novel is more likely to be written without the distraction of others. When one does desire company, it is by choice. Eric Klinenberg, author of the book The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising appeal of Living Alone, found that people who lived alone spent more time with friends and neighbours than married couples. Apparently so-called ‘loners’ have the best of both worlds, quiet when they want it and company when they want it. The benefit of guaranteed quiet at home is a welcome contrast

to the outside world. Especially for introverts, who recharge by spending time alone, this living arrangement is desirable and potentially essential for their wellbeing. Home becomes an oasis, a place of restorative solitude. A single inhabitant home can also be a castle. Knowing that everything is just where one left it (excepting mischievous pets), is a feature not available to multi-person households. It’s grounding and stabilizing. Not to mention that the last piece of cake is never eaten by someone else. So if you think about it, for reasons of social health, peace of mind, selfexpression and creativity, solitary living is on the upswing. Virginia would certainly approve.
