Deciding to move is easy Looking for a new place can be overwhelming.The stress of finding something suitable, plus the pressure to sign legally binding contracts can create a lot of anxiety. However, anxiety can be controlled, if not eliminated by managing two important factors: how prepared you are financially and how knowledgable you are about the process. This includes the details of your transaction, what is expected from you from a legal standpoint and all of your financial obligations. With so much information available these days on the web, it’s easy to
get distracted. For tips and financial advice, and the latest property listings available across Canada, check out this issue and our new 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, finding a place that matches your criteria can be the tough part. Let us help. Drop us a line and let us know if you have any questions or comments. We’d love to hear from you.

Not everyone cares about windows. I find this completely surprising since I’m a big fan of the view and sunshine streaming into my home. I’m forever opening, closing and adjusting curtains and blinds. It’s something I’ve always considered and checked out when looking at a potential new home. When you look for apartments, make sure you take a good look. Are you facing a wall? Are you in an exposure that’s going to give you daylight when you want it? Are you going to get the glorious sunsets from your balcony? Do you do shift
work? Sunshine streaming into your bedroom all day may not be what you’re after. On the other hand, are you going to have enough privacy? City views, water views, great expanses of greenscape – the setting you choose may make a huge impact on you, so check it out! It’s the little things that can impact your rental experience in a big way. Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide and check out our advice, info and listings on ypnexthome.ca and the YPNextHome App and get ready to make your move.

STONEY CREEK begins east of the Red
Valley Parkway, including the area from Lake Ontario up to Rymal Road, and ends where Grimsby begins, at Fifty Road/11th Road East. The area is popular among families, young urban professionals as well as seniors. Outdoorsy types who still require urban comforts will really feel at home in Stoney Creek. You can go for a hike atop the World Biosphere Reserve, looking out on what can only be described as a panoramic vista, then take a short drive down the parkway to all of the shopping and cultural options that Hamilton has to offer.
Most of the original settlement took place below “the Mountain” (aka the Niagara Escarpment), but there’s been a recent housing boom in the formerly very rural upper town, where several new subdivisions have grown in the last decade, with many more on the horizon. Families raising children and younger professionals make up a good chunk of the population, but there’s a healthy percentage of active seniors living here too, particularly in lower Stoney Creek. There are a lot of families in Stoney Creek and a lot of elementary schools, most of which are in the
more established part of town below the escarpment. Stoney Creek has decent public transit. Cyclists will find bike lanes and paths make it easier to get around, but most residents still drive to work and for errands. Close proximity to the QEW (via three interchanges), the Red Valley Parkway, Highway 8, and Highway 20 make it an excellent choice for commuters.
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 | APARTMENTALITY
Check references on a prospective roomie
it’s essential
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
By Kathryn Kusyszyn
EMPLOYERS CHECK REFERENCES, landlords check references, and if you’re considering someone as a roommate, you should check their references too. A person can seem charming initially, then later on turn into a nightmare. Do your homework and avoid such situations. Have a rental application form that’s appropriate for your province. It will cover all the bases. Discuss how they feel about overnight visitors, smoking, pets, sharing household chores, etc. Asking why they left their last place and how long they lived there is important. The application form will have a spot for references. Ask for references from their current employer, a previous landlord and at least one previous roommate. Tell them that you will call these people
to verify employment status and their previous housing history. By providing contact information for these references, the prospective roommate is giving you permission to contact them. Check your province’s privacy and human rights laws for what you are allowed to ask and what isn’t okay. When calling an employer, state that you are verifying the potential roommate’s employment status and character, not doing an employment check for another job. When calling a previous landlord, find out how long the person lived there, whether they paid their rent on time or if there were any other pertinent issues, and why they left. If this information doesn’t match what the person told you, you may need to clarify.
revealing. Ask how long they have known the person and how long they lived together. Then ask “What did you like about living with __?” and “What didn’t you like about living with __?” Ask why they are no longer living together. If someone cannot provide any references or if none of their references are forthcoming, beware. You will be living with this person in close quarters, sharing a space and relying on them to fulfil their responsibilities. You need to have a reasonable comfort level with them – they will have access to all of your personal posessions and be privy to much of your private life. Your health, safety and peace of mind are at stake. Be selective. Communicate clearly and you will find the right match.

Molly Maid’s top 10 spring cleaning tips By Kim Dunn
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
IF YOU’RE GOING TO TACKLE spring cleaning this month, the experts at Molly Maid can help get you started with these top 12 spring cleaning tips. With just a bit of care, attention and elbow grease, your home can shed the winter grime and sparkle for sunny days ahead.
1. Spring cleaning tip #1: Simplify your cleaning products Limit spring cleaning products to a quality window/glass cleaner, allpurpose cleaner, tile/grout cleaner and a toilet bowl cleaner. 2. Spring cleaning tip #2: The Molly Maid system Clean each room from the top to the bottom starting on the left and moving right. This really is the quickest and most efficient way to thoroughly spring clean your home. 3. Spring cleaning tip #3: Dust first, vacuum second Any bits of dust or dirt that fall to the floor as you’re dusting will be picked up by the vacuum cleaner. 4. Spring cleaning tip #4: Dust with a damp, clean microfiber cloth Hold the cloth by a corner and lightly mist with clean water from a spray bottle. The cloth should be just damp enough to pick up dust without leaving moisture streaks on the furniture surface.
5. Spring cleaning tip #5: Pet hair Remove it from upholstery with a damp microfibre cloth or rubber glove. 6. Spring cleaning tip #6: Damp mop First sweep or vacuum floors to collect crumbs and dirt. Then start washing the floor in the farthest corner of the room and work your way towards the door. Use a damp cloth on the end of a mop handle to reach the narrow space between appliances. 7. Spring cleaning tip #7: Microwave spatters Fill a cup with water and microwave on high for a few minutes. The steam will loosen any baked on food so you can easily wipe it clean. Before wiping the microwave, remember to be extra careful when removing the cup of water as it will be hot. 8. Spring cleaning tip #8: Dish cloths and sponges These are germ incubators, if you don’t clean them you’re just spreading the bacteria around. Wash dish cloths regularly, and microwave damp sponges on high for several minutes
to kill bacteria. Even better, toss the sponge and stick to microfibre cloths, which dry quickly when hung up and help prevent the spread of germs. 9. Spring cleaning tip #9: The toothbrush Use a toothbrush for hard-to-reach areas in the bathroom and kitchen (for example, around the soap holder, taps and drain). 10. Spring cleaning tip #10: Streaks on the balcony door Streaks are tricky to eliminate. When spring cleaning, wipe the interior side of the glass horizontally and the exterior side vertically. This way, it will be easy to determine if the streaks are on the inside or outside. Kim Dunn has been a Molly Maid franchise owner for over 15 years. More than just cleaning, she has a solid knowledge of “The Chemistry of Cleaning,” having graduated in Industrial Microbiology and worked in the field for seven years doing research and clinical work at U of T and Toronto Western Hospital. A long-time Aurora resident, her business services the Aurora, Oakridges, King and Nobleton area. Contact Kim at kim.dunn@mollymaid.ca or call 905.841.6243 for more information.
