EDITORS’ NOTES

new season, a new place? Here we are, already into the spring of 2013. Perhaps most of your New Year’s resolutions have already been forgotten, but if finding a new place is still top-of-mind, we hope you’ll find this issue helpful. As you visit each location, be sure to get a feel for each company and the staff. You should be comfortable and courteous asking questions and in turn you should expect to be treated with consideration and respect. Think twice about any property management company that doesn’t willingly provide any information you respectfully request. Putting the customer first and offering the best quality rental space for your money is a property management company’s ultimate goal. Once you find the perfect space, don’t hesitate in going for it and making it your own. Let us know how your search for a new place to call home goes. We’d love to hear from you.

iving in an apartment means being a part of a community. Whether the building has a couple of units or a couple hundred, there are a few basics to make community living a lot more comfortable for everyone. While your home is your castle, you share walls, floors and ceilings that attach your castle to other people’s castles. Of course you don’t live in a bubble, so things like noise and odours need some forethought. It’s not just inside your suite, but also in the hallways. Being part of a community means there are people around using many of the same building features as you do. While you don’t have to become Facebook friends with everyone you meet in the hallway, being friendly and even lending a helping hand when you see someone struggling with parcels or running for the elevator can go a long way. The benefits of being part of the community can be incredible. Borrowing and bartering with neighbours can save a lot of time and money. Finding babysitting should be a breeze. Carpooling is a lot more likely living in a larger building. Getting together to use the building’s amenities can really pay off. You may be able to get a yoga instructor or a group rate for a trainer if you’ve got fitness facilities onsite, and set up weekly games nights or even community socials! Renting is more than just a home, it’s a lifestyle! With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place, community. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

profile properties not only meet – but also exceed – region-specific building codes. In fact, many buildings qualify for LEED designations. Upgrades include replacing existing machines with energy star appliances, installing compact fluorescent light bulbs and installing low-flow faucets and toilets to all units. Improvements such as these reduce energy consumption by approximately 20 per cent and save thousands of gallons of water each year.

Hollyburn Properties LTD ‘Smart Suites’, smart rentals Looking for premier rental residences in a prime location, with highend condo-like quality, exceptional management and at a fraction of the cost of a condo? Enter Hollyburn Properties. The Canadian owned and operated company continues to be a leader in the property management industry by renovating all available units according to the company’s ‘Smart Suite’ standard. From energyefficient light fixtures, appliances, and amenities to roof-top solar energy panels, the cornerstone of Hollyburn’s success is reinvesting in long-standing buildings and renovating and retrofitting them according to their reputation for luxury rentals and environmental stewardship. Hollyburn focuses on creating upscale communities in the most desirable TheRentersGuide.ca neighbourhoods in which it operates. The current portfolio extends to 71 properties nationwide in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and most recently, Ottawa. Hollyburn’s latest acquisition in the GTA, seven buildings located at 411 and 445 Eglinton TheRentersGuide.ca Avenue East, 224 St. George Street, 8G

48 Isabella and three at 70, 80 and 90 Heath Street confirms its commitment to providing a truly cosmopolitan experience by expanding in the most popular, inspiring and sought-after Toronto locations. Hollyburn is continually seeking new technologies to improve the resident living experience. Complimentary tenant WiFi in all building lobbies and common areas is available as of April 2013. Online smart card laundry systems with completed-load text alerts and digital electric sub-metering with online energy management and bill payment are some of the time-saving measures Hollyburn has implemented. Smart Suites are equipped with stylish fixtures and finishes for contemporary condo-like quality throughout Hollyburn’s portfolio. Kitchens and bathrooms are ultra modern with glass mosaic or subway-tiled backsplashes, natural quartz or granite countertops and minimalist light fixtures, hardware and cabinetry. Apartment colour schemes are bright, airy and fresh, while outdated galley kitchens are replaced with modern open concept models. Hollyburn’s Green Building Template, the stringent set of voluntary standards for all of its renovations, represents some of the highest development standards and greenest buildings in Canada. Hollyburn’s

Infrastructural changes extend to replacing outdated, oversized boilers with stateof-the-art high-efficiency modulating boilers and frequency drives for water pump circulation. New elevator equipment is optimized for efficiency, as are roof replacements. In December 2012, 10 kilowatt solar panels were successfully installed on the roof of 1286 Islington Ave. in collaboration with the feed-in tariff program (FIT) and the Ontario Power Authority.

Davisville Distinctly Yonge & Pleasant b y i va n s a n d o va l

avisville Village, just north of St. Clair Avenue, is a centrally located and sophisticated area that includes some TheRentersGuide.ca spectacular shopping and dining options. In fact, it’s got a bit of everything, truly a village within the city. TheRentersGuide.ca 18G

THE AREA Davisville Village’s borders are simple. Yonge Street marks the western border, Bayview Avenue the eastern border, Eglinton Avenue the northern border and Merton Street (just north of St. Clair) its southern border. You would think that being immersed right in the middle of a big city would probably make you feel crammed, but luckily this is not the case for Davisville Villagers. Urban parks are dotted throughout Davisville Village, including the considerably large June Rowlands Park (formerly Davisville Park) at the corner of Mount Pleasant and Millwood. In fact, the area includes many open spaces including the linear Kay TheRentersGuide.ca Gardner Beltline Park on the neighbourhood’s western border that follows old railroad tracks along a path used by pedestrians, cyclists, joggers and dog walkers all the way to Bathurst Street.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Davisville Village’s southern end receives much of its lush foliage from Mount Pleasant Cemetery. With its old trees and hilly terrain, it’s the burial place of some of Canada’s most famous people including Frederick Banting, Timothy Eaton, Foster Hewitt and Mackenzie King.

Want to Live in the Area?

Shopping

Check out these listings:

Pick your side for shopping – Yonge Street or Mount Pleasant? Both hold Davisville’s shopping options that include fine restaurants, pubs, movie theatres and an active nightlife. The options are seemingly endless, whether you’re looking for gourmet treats, a fine glass of wine or looking to watch sports on the big screen with a basket of chicken wings. Small fruit markets and delicatessens are found right on Yonge Street beside cafés. Mount Pleasant includes locally owned shops featuring furniture, fashion retail, bookstores and salons – just an abundant number of small stores that stretch right up Mount Pleasant. A little plaza right on Balliol Street is within walking distance to most of the apartment buildings. It includes all the conveniences to serve its community. The social and recreational centre of Davisville Village has to be June Rowlands Park. During the day it’s a hive of activity, with preschoolers enjoying the Davisville Park playground and wading pool in the summertime. Davisville Park’s six tennis courts are used by the Davisville Tennis Club on evenings and weekends. The club has an active house league and tournament schedule. Adjacent to the tennis courts is the Davisville Park baseball diamond, which is extensively used by children and adult baseball leagues.

Getting Around Davisville Village has its own subway station right at Yonge Street. Buses run along Davisville Avenue and Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant and The Bayview Extension make a quick trip of getting into the city too.

Renting in Davisville Village Davisville Village’s central location makes it ideal for renters. The area attracts many singles and young couples as well as downsizers who want the ease of renting and don’t want to leave their community. The streets of Davisville Avenue and Balliol Street hold apartment buildings on both sides from Mount Pleasant west to Yonge Street, where the office and retail buildings begin to take over. Davisville Avenue also includes the large open field of Davisville Public School on one end and the Park on the other. Since major property companies manage most of the area, grounds are beautiful and there is lush, colourful landscaping, manicured and lovely all year long.

THE IMPORTANCE OF

THE ANNUAL INSPECTION B y Ted Whi t ehead

One of the major reasons why the Federation of Rentalhousing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) created the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) was to help ensure a good quality of life for tenants in certified buildings. One of the program’s Standards of the Practice is that the property manager must carry out an annual suite inspection program at each building. The inspection is for the purpose of determining whether or not the rental unit is in a good state of repair, fit for habitation, has working smoke alarms, and complies with health, safety, housing and maintenance standards.

Apartment buildings that qualify under the program comply with the conditions stipulated in the Residential Tenancies Act, which protects renters’ safety and privacy. Interestingly, this Act also outlines tenant responsibilities, and there are many. It’s a matter of respect that has to go both ways to make a building work well. One example is providing access to your apartment when necessary, especially for the purposes of an annual suite inspection. Your property manager (landlord) must give you 24 hours written notice of entry, stipulating the reason and the time (which has to be between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.). He/she should be able to expect co-operation on your part with TheRentersGuide.ca proper notification. Remember that although your apartment is your “home,” it actually belongs to someone else who has the right to protect that investment and ensure the best welfare of all. TheRentersGuide.ca

26G

“There are valid reasons why a property manager may need to enter your apartment,” says Lynzi Michal, FRPO’s manager of Operations and Member Services.“It may be a case of completing necessary repairs or replacing items, checking the smoke alarm and replacing the battery, or conducting an annual inspection that determines immediate and preventative maintenance needs. This is a very important part of running an efficient and safe apartment building.” A potential mortgagee or insurer of the apartment complex may also need to look inside the apartments to ensure that it is fit for habitation and complies with health, safety, housing and maintenance standards. “Renters also need to be aware that a landlord may enter a rental apartment at any time without written notice in cases of emergency, or if tenants consent to entry at the time they are approached,”

says Vince Brescia, FRPO’s president. “When there is a good cause, it benefits everyone involved to co-operate with entry.” Most apartment dwellers want to live in an apartment-home that is being properly maintained by the property manager. The annual suite inspection program helps to ensure the quality of rental product is being consistently maintained. Prospective renters are well advised to ensure that the apartment building they are considering to live in carries out annual inspection program as part of their ongoing operations and maintenance activities. You will also find valid information at frpo.org, the site of the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario, which created the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) to help apartment-seekers find buildings that meet certain standards of quality and service.

Yellow most popular paint colour worldwide, finds Dulux Paints Survey

Dulux Bedroom – Prairie Grass: Sunny yellow tones, such as Dulux’s Prairie Grass (35YY 61/431), featured on the walls of this bedroom, warm up a living space by mimicking sunshine.

Dulux Bathroom – Kansas Corn: Earthy yellows, such as Dulux’s Kansas Corn (30YY 63/231), pictured on the walls of this bathroom, create a spa-like atmosphere and warm up a small space without overwhelming it.

TheRentersGuide.ca Dulux Kitchen – Daisy Chain: Cheery citrus yellows, such as Dulux’s Daisy Chain (45YY 79/376), featured on the walls of this kitchen, are energizing and engaging, making them ideal for the dining room, kitchen or other social areas. TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca Dulux Living Room – Sugar Cane: Bold accent colours in accessories work well with soft, subtle yellows, such as Dulux’s Sugar Cane (50YY 83/143), pictured on the walls of this living room. TheRentersGuide.ca

It may not be our favourite colour, but when it comes to painting our walls, yellow is the number one choice worldwide. That’s the finding of an international survey conducted on behalf of leading paint brand Dulux paint. The study shows that while blue is the most popular colour in the world, preferred by 36 per cent of people, the picture changes when you look at actual sales volume of paint colours. “For every can of blue wall paint sold, you can almost fill an Olympic-size pool with the yellow paint that’s purchased over the counter,”said Martin Tustin-Fuchs, Brand Director for Dulux paint, pointing out that yellow is actually cited as the least favourite colour worldwide, with only five per cent of people favouring it. “When presented with paint swatches, however, most people seem to like yellow – as long as it’s called something other than yellow, that is,”TustinFuchs said. “Paint names like buttercup, vanilla and champagne are more attractive to consumers,” he said, listing Dulux’s Sugar Cane (50YY 83/143), Daisy Chain (45YY 79/376), Prairie Grass (35YY 61/431) and Kansas Corn (30YY 63/231) as the brand’s topselling yellow paints. Yellow works well in the home because it’s a warm, happy colour that represents renewal and brightens spirits, he explains. Think sunshine, daffodils and the trademark smiley face. While all kinds of yellow shades adorn Canadian walls, studies show off-white yellows take top spot in our homes. Tustin-Fuchs offers these tips on how to pick the best shade of yellow for your rooms: Sunny yellow: Infused with a tinge of orange, sunny yellow does wonders in lighting up a poorly-lit room. Try painting this bright shade on both walls and ceilings, and it will appear to mimic sunlight — even on cloudy days. Sunny yellow is said to increase awareness and stimulate creativity, spontaneity and the mind, making it an ideal choice for a kids’ playroom, study area or home office. Mellow yellow: Cream tones tinted with yellow create a relaxing retreat in any living space. Soft and TheRentersGuide.ca light, earthy yellows warm up smaller spaces, like bathrooms and vestibules, without overwhelming them. Warm yellow is also a good option for a

master bedroom, depending on the mood you want to create. While red stimulates passion in a bedroom, yellow delivers a calm, spa-like atmosphere, which may provide a welcome sanctuary after a long day. Citrus yellow: Known to energize and increase the appetite, cheery lemon yellow is a good option for eating areas. Reflecting a high amount of light, this shade works well in any kitchen or as an accent wall in a dining area. Framed in white moulding, bright yellow also brings an inviting feel to an entrance hall. Combine citrus yellow with black and white tones to create a stylish, uplifting colour scheme in any of these spaces. Banana Yellow: Warm tropical yellows work particularly well with neutral or wood furnishings. Best used in a family room or living area, banana yellow emits a welcoming, upbeat feel that wraps a person in warmth. To keep a yellow room from feeling too warm, add bold accent colours, such as green, turquoise or orange, through accessories. “At times, a specific shade may become fashionable or unfashionable, but yellow in general never goes out of style,” Tustin-Fuchs said, adding that Dulux is all about bringing renewal into people’s lives, and yellow paint – no matter what the shade – is a fail-safe way to do just that.“Simply put, yellow paint is sunshine in a can,” he said. For more information about Dulux paint, or to view its 2013 paint palette, visit www.dulux.ca or a local Dulux store.

Just don’t call it yellow, say Dulux experts – study shows names like vanilla, buttercup preferred Dulux paint is AkzoNobel’s flagship paint brand worldwide. First introduced in 1931, the brand is sold in more than 40 markets globally today, making it the most widely available paint brand in the world. In North America, you will find the brand in nearly 240 Dulux Paint Stores across Canada serving the professional market.

Moving

MAKE MOVING

comfortable for seniors by Dan Hopkins

Moving an elderly loved one can be tough. No one wants to upset that person and everyone wants the move to go as smoothly as possible. This can seem like ‘mission impossible’. Census Canada data suggests Canadians approaching retirement age are now the fastest-growing demographic in Canada and experts predict 28 per cent of the United States population will reach retirement age within the next five years. The children and families of the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation TheRentersGuide.ca - people born between 1946 and 1960 are already helping their loved ones move into downsized or elderly assistance accommodations and often are not emotionally prepared for the task at hand.

Senior loved ones can be very set in their ways and often are not well equipped to express their emotional frustrations in a constructive way as moving day draws closer. It all can seem like a daunting task. Over the years, we have packed and moved many seniors and the important thing is to stay organized, be patient, calm and respectful throughout the move process. If you are moving a senior loved one into a retirement facility or an apartment, you should first contact the management to find out what they are allowed to bring in, appropriate moving hours and if they have any tips specific TheRentersGuide.ca to their facility to help smooth the moving process.

Remember: Organize and Start packing several weeks in advance. If your loved one is moving from a large home to a one bedroom apartment, there will be more furniture than needed. Get a floor plan of the new space and help your senior plan the space with their favourite furnishings, then help them decide what to do with the extra furnishings. If the item is a family heirloom and can’t be accommodated in the new space, suggest giving it to a close family member like a child or grandchild. Sort before you pack. Seniors tend to collect things they don’t need or use. Be sensitive when suggesting to get rid of possessions. Ask if they use the item and if they would mind if you donated it to raise money for the Salvation Army, for example. Start packing early so you won’t be overwhelmed as moving day draws near. Pack and clean as you go. When helping sort and pack your senior’s belongings keep in mind that their eyesight and reduced mobility prevents them from doing regular chores and can result in poor housekeeping habits. Instead of commenting, offer to clean as you pack and try not to be judgmental. You’ll will need more time than you think. Allow enough time so your loved one doesn’t feel rushed. Sorting through years of stuff is difficult and sometimes emotionally painful. Allow your loved one time to say goodbye. If they take longer to clean out the desk drawer because they found a stack of pictures, let them take the time to walk down memory lane. This is a very important part of the process. Be patient and listen to their life stories, there will come a time you will be glad you did. Make their new space feel familiar. Take pictures and colour samples of the inside of their current home. Try to decorate the new space and place objects in a similar way, so that their new space will feel like the old one. Be as detailed as you can from arranging the bedroom furniture to placing family pictures on the bureau. This will help make the new surroundings feel like home. Wrap small items in coloured paper. This prevents items like knick-knacks from becoming lost or thrown out. Label boxes on top and sides. Make sure to mark the top and sides of boxes as they’re packed and write in large letters to make it easier for your loved one to read. Make sure to label boxes containing breakable or sentimental items as ‘fragile’.

Use boxes designed for the items you are packing. Dish packs for dishes and wardrobe boxes makes it easy for seniors to access their clothing on hangers. Check clothing before donating. It’s a good idea to sort unwanted clothing for donation prior to moving. Before donating any gently worn unwanted clothing, check pockets for valuables. Seniors often hide small valuable items like jewelry or cash in the pockets of suit jackets or shoes and forget where they hid it. Two Men and a Truck – Canada is committed to exceeding customers’ expectations. We follow ‘The Grandma Rule’ and treat everyone the way we would want our Grandma to be treated – with care, respect and dignity.

Pack all electronic equipment in their original boxes. Otherwise use lowstatic bubble wrap when packing these items. Always use packing paper. When wrapping fine china and precious items, don’t use newsprint because the ink can bleed.

TheRentersGuide.ca Seal all boxes with packing tape. This makes it easier to stack and protect your senior’s belongings.

quicktips

Take time for yourself by Hellen Buttigieg

Sometimes we get bogged down with all the to-do things on our list that we forget to take time for ourselves. Don’t forget to take sometime time to relax and enjoy the little things in life. | Put yourself out there. | Life has a way of flowing effortlessly when we put ourselves out there. If there’s something you’ve been wanting in your life, take one small action towards it and notice how other things fall into place. It could be a simple phone call you’ve been putting off, a book you’ve been meaning to read or a website you’ve wanted to visit. Do it now and have faith in the power of taking that first step. | Tie up loose ends | Regularly schedule one hour a week to devote to tying up loose ends. These little to-dos take less time than you think to complete and yet, left undone, eat away at you, draining your energy and clouding your mind. If you finish in less than an hour, use the extra time to reward yourself with a special indulgence. | Eliminate clutter | Are magazines and catalogues piling up on every flat surface in your office? If you’ve had them for over three months and still haven’t read them, it’s time to take an honest look at whether they are adding value or complicating your life. Go online and remove your name from catalogues you don’t read. Cancel magazine subscriptions that clutter your life, drain your energy and rob you of peace-of-mind. You can always purchase the odd magazine or two when you have some extra time to devote to reading (i.e. when you’re on vacation or home sick). | make life easier | Items that are used together should be stored together to make tasks easier and save you time. Store all your car wash supplies in one bin; your gardening supplies in another. Imagine how much TheRentersGuide.ca easier it will be to wrap gifts when your gift bags, cards, scissors, bows, tape and pen are all stored together.

| Live in the moment | We have become a society of multi-taskers, but in an effort to be more efficient, we have robbed ourselves the pure pleasure that comes from performing simple tasks. Next time you wash dishes, fold laundry, or set the table, focus only on the task at hand. Engage your senses; notice the fresh smell of clean laundry, the rainbow colours in the soap bubbles, the beauty of a table set with care (candles, flowers and cloth napkins). You’ll feel less frazzled and more peaceful. | Let go of the “shoulds” | Next time you catch yourself thinking guilt-inducing things like, “I should go to the gym” or “I have to wash the windows”, shift your perspective. Find a way to make the task more enjoyable so you can replace the “shoulds” and “have tos” with “like to,””want to” or “could.” Reframing your thoughts in this manner puts you in control because you are deciding to do the task out of desire not criticism. Another option is to reevaluate the task to see if it really is a necessity or if you can drop it from your to-do list altogether. Hellen Buttigieg is a certified professional organizer, life coach, TV host, owner of We Organize U and author of the best-seller, Organizing Outside The Box, now available on Amazon. For tips on organizing your home, your office and your life. To contact Hellen or for information on hiring a We Organize U organizing specialist, call 905-829-2219 or email info@WeOrganizeU.com

renters’help

Go Green in your apartment By Jane Herman

iving in an apartment instead of a house, is an environmentally friendly use of space and resources. Many of today’s rental buildings have been updated with energy-efficient windows, furnaces, appliances, lighting and plumbing fixtures. But it’s up to you to do your part to reduce energy use wherever possible and conserve precious resources like water. Save energy and save money: Use fans during the summer to keep air circulating through your apartment. Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents, which use 75 per cent less energy and last longer.

Bring your own reusable bags to the store when you shop. Make a habit of carrying a small one in your handbag or leave a few in your car. Use a cloth instead of paper towels and napkins. Use covered storage ware and cookware in the kitchen instead of aluminum foil and disposable pans. Break the habit of using plastic cutlery, paper plates and cups and invest in a washable set of plastic ware for parties, picnics and on the balcony. Avoid pre-packaged fruits and vegetables, individually wrapped snacks, juice boxes and single-serving snacks, which are the cause of most of the litter that degrades our parks and public spaces. Invest in a set of reusable mesh fruit and vegetable bags that you can use for shopping and home storage.

Turn off all lights, unplug appliances and electronics, or use a power bar when not in use, at night or when you leave your apartment. Electronic devices that have transformers or“instant on”features are known as“power vampires”because they draw power even when turned off. Home entertainment centres and computers can use as much power as your refrigerator even when not in use. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine wash clothes goes to heating the water. Dry some of your laundry on a drying rack to save the energy used during machine drying. Keep the heat in during winter by drawing your drapes or window coverings during the day. In summer, keeping the windows covered will help to keep your apartment cooler.

Make your own cleaning supplies: Making your own cleaning products saves money, time and packaging and dramatically improves your indoor air quality.

Clean the condenser coils on the back of your fridge at least once a year.

Pure soap, baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, borax (washing soda) and a coarse scrubbing sponge can take care of most household cleaning needs. Be sure to purchase a couple of refillable spray bottles from the hardware store.

Conserve water: When doing laundry, adjust the machine setting to the size of the load. Report any leaky faucets to your property manager. The city has to treat water with chemicals and use energy to pump it back to you.

For an all-purpose cleaner, use a mixture of ½ tsp. washing soda, ¼ tsp. liquid soap, and 2 cups hot tap water.

Take shorter showers.

Compost and recycle: In most cities, apartments send way too much garbage to landfills. Learn what can be recycled in your municipality and commit to making recycling a regular habit. In Toronto that includes everything from egg cartons to tetra paks, styrofoam trays and plastic containers. Properly dispose of used furniture, electronics, clothing and household items, batteries as directed by your community.

Never let the water run when brushing your teeth: fill up a small cup of water instead. When washing dishes, fill up the sink with soapy water and immerse your dishes. Set on a drying rack, then rinse, instead of letting the water run continuously while you wash and rinse each dish. If you have a dishwasher, run it only when full.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Banish plastic water bottles, disposable items and excess packaging: Keep a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator instead of running the water until it gets cold. Use a reusable water bottle for water and a travel mug for coffee.

A good natural glass cleaner can be made by mixing ¼ tsp. liquid detergent, 3 tbs. vinegar and 2 cups water in a spray bottle.

Walk, cycle, take public transportation or use a shared vehicle to help reduce the number of cars on the roads. Just a few small changes in your lifestyle can make a big difference in the quality of the environment for everyone.

Leslie Styles, foodie & travel aficionado, shares some delicious dishes found on her travels around the world.

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease four ramekins, about 2 ¾ in. diameter and dust with cocoa powder; set aside.

Melt the chocolate in a small pan over medium heat. Once half melted, add butter and continue to heat until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and combined. Set aside for 10 minutes, or until needed.

Using a blender or hand whisk, whip the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until pale and thickened, then add to the chocolate mixture. Gently fold in the flour with a metal spoon. Divide the mixture between the four ramekins and cook in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cakes are firm on top. Using oven gloves, remove the ramekins from the oven and turn them out onto serving plates. Garnish with raspberries and dust all with icing sugar. Serve immediately.

his is a very naughty dessert. Warm, silky and devilishly good, Molten Chocolate Lava Cake is the quintessential chocolate lover’s dessert. Best of all, its gooey centre actually does erupt with a luscious molten core of chocolatey goodness. And unlike some other recipes I’ve tried, this recipe is fool-proof! Made with good-quality dark chocolate, butter, eggs, sugar and flour, the mixture is simply poured into individual ramekins, baked about 15 minutes and upturned onto decorative serving plates. A few fresh berries, a light dusting of icing sugar and your guests will be treated to a lovely warm dessert fresh from the oven. Now that’s love! ingredients Serves 4

›TheRentersGuide.ca 4 tsp cocoa powder

› 4 ½ oz caster sugar

› 4 oz unsalted butter (1 stick)

› Icing sugar, to dust

› 2 large eggs

› Raspberries, for garnish

› 2 large egg yolks

MaxiMize

aluable tax preparation resources are available to communities across Ontario prepared by the Certified General Accountants of Ontario www.cga-ontario.org.

Here is a snapshot of tips to maximize pension contributions and your Registered Retirement Savings Plans: • Individuals who are paying Canada pension plan (CPP) and/or employment insurance (EI) premiums may claim a 15 per cent federal tax credit and 5.05 per cent provincial tax credit on the amount paid. • Contribute to your RRSP early in the year. If, for example, you contribute $22,970 — the maximum possible annual contribution amount for 2012 — at the beginning of the year instead of at the end, over a 25-year period, assuming a five per cent rate of return, you would have an extra $54,800 in your RRSP. • If you are an employee who is making regular RRSP contributions, request that the amount of income tax withheld on your pay cheque be reduced in order to reflect the savings those contributions will bring. This is TheRentersGuide.ca a more efficient way to manage your money. • You don’t have to deduct an RRSP contribution in the year it is made; instead, you can carry it forward for deduction in a TheRentersGuide.ca future period when you have income placing

you in a higher tax bracket. Be sure you have used all personal tax credits before deducting your RRSP contribution. • If you are at least 65, consider creating pension income by converting part of your RRSP to a life annuity or an RRIF if your financial circumstances warrant such a move. • Contributing to a spousal RRSP also creates potential pension income for your spouse or common-law partner. • Pension income splitting can be a good strategy to minimize overall family taxes if the spouse to whom the funds are being transferred has low, or no other sources of income. • If you qualify for Canada pension plan (CPP) disability benefits, TheRentersGuide.ca remember to check to see whether you also qualify for the federal disability tax credit (DTC).

It’s time to come clean on bleach

t is spring cleaning season and instead of reluctantly pulling out the yellow cleaning gloves and masks, many of us are seeking alternative disinfectants to tackle this year’s grime.

• • • • •

One family-friendly alternative to bleach is hydrogen peroxide. Unlike liquid bleach, products made with a hydrogen peroxide formula (such as Lysol Power & Free) are not caustic and do not require rubber gloves or a mask. Consequently, it’s suitable for everyday use around kids and pets, and may be used on a variety of surfaces with no rinsing required. More than half of all bleach users say they are concerned with the fumes and more than two-thirds say they take special precautions when using it, according to MMR Bleach Market Research conducted in 2011. Hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, is found naturally in living material, including the human body. “It has been kept in household medicine cabinets for years, trusted to disinfect cuts and scrapes in both children and adults,” said Joe Rubino, the director of global surface care research and development at Reckitt Benckiser. “The properties that make hydrogen peroxide so effective at cleaning and disinfecting wounds also make it effective in cleaning household surfaces.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

The harshness of bleach is not only a concern in the home, but also to the environment. When bleach is made, carcinogenic dioxins can be released into the environment; and when it breaks down, small amounts of toxins

TheRentersGuide.ca

harmful to shellfish and other marine and aquatic organisms are also

Toronto Public Library announces: Let’s Get Ready foR ReadinG: a fun and easy guide to help kids become readers Early litEracy rEsourcE guidE to bE distributEd frEE of chargE to thousands of familiEs across toronto, and to EvEry public library in ontario At a launch event for its new publication, the Toronto Public Library recently announced that it will be widely distributing free copies of its new researchsupported early literacy resource, Let’s Get Ready for Reading: a fun and easy guide to help kids become readers. Through an ambitious plan - made possible through funding from the Toronto Public Library Foundation, thanks to a generous donation by an anonymous donor and support provided by the J.P. Bickell Foundation and the Rotary Club of Toronto - thousands of families in Toronto will have access to high quality research-based activities, resources, tips and librarian-recommended reading lists that help build reading readiness in children birth to five years old. Recognizing the critical role that libraries play in building early literacy skills and cultivating a lifelong love of reading, the Toronto Public Library is also providing a free copy to every library branch of every public library system in Ontario. “Toronto Public Library is proud of this one-of-a-kind resource, and we are thrilled to be able to put it into the hands of so many parents, caregivers, educators and librarians across the city and province,”said City Librarian Jane Pyper.“I would like to recognize the great work of our Foundation and thank our donors, whose generosity and commitment to the library make this publication possible”. The Let’s Get Ready for Reading guide is available now to browse and borrow from all branches of Toronto Public Library, and over the coming months it will be distributed for free across Toronto to kindergartners, Ontario Early Years Centres, city-funded literacy centres, Parenting and Family Literacy Centres and licensed daycares, and to every public library in Ontario. And through a partnership with Toronto Public Health, copies of Let’s Get Ready for Reading will also be given this year to newborns and toddlers in Toronto via programs for new parents. Free copies of the guide will also be given to preschoolers who register for or renew a Toronto Public Library card during an upcoming campaign, and through the Toronto Public Library’s community outreach programs. Copies of the guide will be available for purchase at Toronto Public Library branches across the city. Let’s Get Ready for Reading was developed for Ontario parents by Toronto Public TheRentersGuide.ca Library children’s librarians, caregivers and educators, as they support early literacy in children, birth to five. The guide was created to provide parents and caregivers with a broad understanding of the important pre-literacy skills that help develop reading readiness, and illustrates to them that reading success - and later success TheRentersGuide.ca in school - is achievable through fun and easy everyday activities.

“While the task might sound overwhelming at first to parents, it’s the simple and imaginative activities that are the blocks literacy success and early childhood development are built on,” said David Booth, national literacy expert, children’s author and professor emeritus at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at University of Toronto.“Let’s Get Ready for Reading’s friendly, encouraging and accessible approach empowers parents and caregivers. I’m delighted that copies can be found not only in public libraries, but will be available in literacy centres, daycares, schools and homes. This is a valuable tool that parents, caregivers and educators should always have on hand.” Toronto Public Library is the world’s busiest urban public library system. Every year, 19 million people visit branches in neighbourhoods across the city and borrow 32 million items. To learn more about Toronto Public Library, visit our website at torontopubliclibrary.ca or call Answerline at 416-393-7131. To get the most current updates on what’s happening at the library, follow on Twitter @torontolibrary. The Toronto Public Library Foundation believes in the social benefits of a strong and healthy public library system. As a registered charity, the Foundation fosters relationships with people of vision to provide Toronto’s Library with improved TheRentersGuide.ca and expanded collections, enhanced programs and services, and revitalized community spaces.

ChoColate

is the ultimate chameleon When it comes to sweet treats, chocolate is in a class of its own. Over the past 100 years, chocolate has taken several different forms, with white, milk, and dark variations. Canadian companies such as Laura Secord have converted this cult-classic into many delicious snacks: chocolate bars, ice cream, hot chocolate and more. It is also sensational in cupcakes, cookies and pies. Chocolate is also a great gift idea. A box of chocolates goes a long way when used to celebrate events or milestones, and is often a great option for those on a budget. Laura Secord has a vast array of boxes of chocolates that can be personalized to a person’s taste, always an appreciated touch. If you are true enthusiast, you can add a taste of chocolate to your living space by creating your own incense. If your home is infused with the scent of chocolate, it can turn your guests into putty. There are also several candles on the market that deliver the sweet scent with the stroke of a match.

n our kitchens, we like to ensure that we have a pantry stocked with the basics. These often vary TheRentersGuide.ca by household, but typically include milk, eggs and other essentials. What many of us may not realize is that chocolate – yes, chocolate – is a versatile food item that can be adapted for many uses. TheRentersGuide.ca

A recent New York Times article suggests that dark chocolate has health benefits. Specifically, dark chocolate has been proven to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Heart health isn’t the only thing with a link to chocolate: chocolate lovers also experienced more feelings of happiness and better psychological well-being. Lastly, for those who love do-it-yourself beauty remedies, chocolate is a great alternative. Face masks can be used to purifyTheRentersGuide.ca your pores and chocolate body scrubs can be concocted to soften your skin. NC

12 things to pack last It’s time to pack up for your big move! Here’s a helpful list of 12 items to pack last and keep handy

Box cutter – Don’t pack this item at all! It’s the first thing you’ll need to open up all those boxes.

Alarm clock – You don’t want to be out the door late on the first morning at your new place, right? And you may want to keep a radio, CD or MP3 player handy so you can enjoy some music while you work.

Light bulbs and a small lamp (perhaps a flashlight too) – It may be dark when you finally move in.

Cleaning supplies – You’ll want to give your new home a once-over. You’ll also want to make sure you have toilet paper, toiletries and a towel, even a change of clothes for the first day in your new place. If you are on regular medication it’s very important to keep it with you.

Some personal ID, such as a driver’s licence – If you’re opening a new chequing account and applying for utilities, you’ll need proof of your new address too.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Sufficient cash – Sounds silly, but if you’re moving far and opening a new bank account, you may have to wait for your first cheque to clear. You’ll also need some time to learn where TheRentersGuide.ca neighbourhood bank machines are.

Cell phone with charger or regular land line telephone with plug, if your new line’s hooked up. Put these within easy reach. There’s always potential for an emergency.

08 09

Address book – Keep those important telephone numbers handy.

Snacks, and pizza or fast food numbers and coupons – You’re going to work up an appetite, so think about treating yourself to a quick bite or your first food delivery call.

Lots to drink – Have plenty of water, pop, juice or other refreshments, and some drinking glasses. Dehydration is a sneaky beast, so be prepared. Thirst always seems to come first, particularly if you have to lug that stuff by yourself.

The tool box – Hammers and screwdrivers, Allen keys, nails and screws, Scotch tape, duct tape and especially a tape measure.

Extension cords and batteries – Everything’s electric these days. Computers, CD players, your iPod and cell, and all those little gizmos you just can’t live without. It just makes sense to keep TheRentersGuide.ca that extension cord and fresh pack of batteries within easy reach.

HOW TO PAY DOWN DEBT and increase your cash flow

et 2013 be your lucky year – the year when you pay off your debt and build up extra cash for a great vacation, a new computer or increase your savings. But now with tax time just around the corner, you may think paying down your debt is not possible. Don’t despair – one way to tackle debt is to create a budget that will show you how much you are earning, spending and saving.

12 p

Consider some quick ways to save money. Spending $2.50 a day on coffee costs you $912.50 a year. You can make coffee at home and cut back on the amount you buy. If you have a balance on your credit card, try to pay it off, or pay off as much as possible of what you owe. Carrying a balance on your card means that everything you charge to that card actually costs you more than the purchase price, because you are paying interest. If you buy a new T.V. for $1,000 and pay only the minimum each month, it will take you almost 11 years to pay it off in full and it will have cost you $1,989 ($989 in interest) – almost twice the original price.

TheRentersGuide.ca

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has tips on beating your debt, doing a debt check-up and creating a budget on its website at itpaystoknow.gc.ca. Interest rates are still low, so you may want to get a consolidation loan to pay down debts, especially those with high interest rates. Remember that if interest rates go up this year, your payments on any variable interest rate loans like a line of credit or a mortgage will TheRentersGuide.ca increase. NC

The (not so) dirty truth about bed bugs

he fear of bed bugs has traveled as far as these hitchhiking pests have â€“ but for better or worse, some of the stigma surrounding them is not accurate. Here are some of the myths and facts about bed bugs provided by Orkin Canada:

bed bugs signify an unsanitary or lower-income environment Because of their hitchhiking nature, bed bugs can easily spread from one environment to another â€“ meaning they can travel from a not-so-clean taxi to a high-end five-star hotel, and vice-versa. As a result, they are not necessarily associated with particular sanitary conditions. bed bugs carry diseases Not true. Some people may have allergic reactions to their bites, which can become infected if scratched incessantly, but these symptoms and the discomfort caused by their bites are the extent of the physical harm these pests cause. The most significant side-effects from bed bugs are psychological, such as stress, anxiety and fatigue. You can only get bed bugs if you travel frequently Bed bugs can travel regardless of whether you do. While the hospitality industry receives the brunt of the bed bug stigma, you can pick them up in other ways like riding public transit, purchasing second-hand furniture or

Choosing

the right landlord Six tips from an industry insider By Sheryl Erenberg

2 3 4 5

here are a lot of choices out there. Here are six tips from Marketing Consultant Sheryl Erenberg, who specializes in rental communities:

How attractive is the exterior of the building?

Finding the person who does rentals It shouldn’t be an obstacle course or an episode of CSI to get from the parking lot to the person who rents apartments. We call this “The Golden Path” to the product. The “path” should be clean, welllit and have plenty of signs along the way. Ideally, a sign above the enterphone panel should tell you who to call. First impressions are important Are you made to feel welcome when you arrive? How hard is the person representing the building trying to assist you? Encourage you to rent? If they are distracted or unpleasant would you want to live there? Trust your instincts. Watch and listen to how the staff interact with one another Do they appear to be working as a team? Listen to the radio chatter if you have the chance. Is the conversation between employees pleasant? Professional? A lot can be learned about the landlord by who they choose to represent them and how they train/motivate their employees. Yes, you can predict the future! If, while they are with you, the staff come in contact with an existing tenant, listen carefully to their tone of voice, their willingness to assist that customer and watch their body language. Do they know tenants by name when they meet them in the building? How effectively do they handle complaints? This could be you next month or next year! The lobby test After your visit, sit in the lobby and do an informal survey by asking passing/waiting tenants how long they’ve lived at the property and whether they would recommend it. A good sample for your survey is five to seven people.

We call this “curb appeal” in the industry. TheRentersGuide.ca

Are the grounds kept? Are the hedges trimmed? Is the grass cut and are the flower beds planted? Is the building sign visible and up to date? If the property looks neglected, the chances are good that TheRentersGuide.ca tenants will be too!

Sheryl Erenberg is president of Sheryl Erenberg and Associates. Her marketing consulting firm has advised TheRentersGuide.ca hundreds of developers and landlords over the past three decades. The company specializes in repositioning stigmatized properties and marketing under-performing communities. sherylerenberg.com

What to look for in an apartment By Jane Herman

re you feeling a little overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to find an apartment? Even wading through all of the ads and listings in Renters Guide can be daunting, unless you understand how they are organized. But where do you start? The first criteria in your decision should be price: How much can you realistically afford to spend per month? Most financial planners recommend that your rent (not including extras such as parking, hydro, cable, etc.) should amount to less than 30 per cent of your monthly income. This may be hard to achieve, but thinking about how much you can spend on rent will also help you to set up a budget. Include all expenses you’ll be responsible for each month (food, utilities, telephone, transportation, laundry, parking, etc.) and other, annual or variable expenses, such as clothing, moving expenses, renter’s insurance, savings, recreation, entertainment, etc. The more you spend on rent, the less you’ll have available for other things. Next, determine what area you want to live in. How will you determine where to look? If you are new to the area, you may want to live near friends or relatives, within a certain commuting radius of work or school. If you have children, do you want to live in a particular school district? Are parks and play areas nearby? Is proximity to the transit or a major highway may be a priority Is the area convenient to shopping, library, recreation facilities, entertainment, restaurants, etc. What are the traffic patterns in the neighbourhood? How is the traffic at rush hour? How are the noise levels in the area at different times of the day, and would this be a factor in your decision? With these factors in mind, make a list of several different neighbourhoods in which you could look: Area 1: ________________________ Area 2: ________________________

TheRentersGuide.ca

Area 3: ________________________ Type of accommodation: Many apartments are in highrises. A highrise building is one that is six or more storeys, has elevators, security, laundry TheRentersGuide.ca

facilities, and, frequently, sports and/or recreation facilities and other amenities, as well as efficient electrical, heating and plumbing systems. A walk-up or low-rise would be less than five storeys high, may have no elevator and few conveniences. However, the rent would generally be less at this type of apartment than at a highrise building in the same area. Other kinds of apartments you could rent include: A basement apartment is a basement in a house that has been converted to an apartment. It may have a separate entrance. The apartment may have its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and heating system, or it may share those amenities with the rest of the home. A low rise apartment building may also have basement apartments. A duplex, triplex or fourplex is a group of two, three or four apartments together in the same building. Apartment Features Search through the Renters Guide listings to find those that match your criteria. They are organized by area. You should also use Renters Guide companion website, hometrader.ca. It is an excellent source of apartment listings, also organized by area. You can also find potential apartments by walking around or driving through the area you have chosen, or through word of mouth. If a friend or relative is happy living in a particular building, chances are you will be too. When you go to look at apartments, inspect them thoroughly before you sign the lease or give a first month’s rental deposit. Some landlords have a condition checklist on which to record details upon move in and move out. Be sure to inspect walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, etc. Make sure you note such things as the condition of the property and the building. Note the size and location of the closets. You may want to take along a tape TheRentersGuide.ca measure to see how your furniture might work in the space. If you go through the process carefully, chances are you’ll be more satisfied with your decision after you move in.

Rental Agreements What You Should Know Before you Sign a Lease

hen you rent a home or apartment in Canada, the landlord will usually ask you to sign a written rental agreement. This legal contract is also often called a “lease.”

Under the laws of each province and territory, tenants and landlords have certain rights and responsibilities whether they have a written agreement or not. Nevertheless, a written lease agreement can help spell out all the terms you and your landlord want to have covered and agreed to. You may also wish to seek legal advice before accepting the terms. To help you know what to expect, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following list of terms that can be found in most rental agreements: • The names of the landlord and tenant(s). • The address of the home or apartment you are renting. • The monthly rent you agreed to pay, with or without utilities, parking, cable television or other services. • The date when the rent is due (for example, on the ﬁrst day of each month).

TheRentersGuide.ca • The amount and terms of any rent, security or damage deposits you agreed to pay.

• A list of which repairs or upkeep will be your responsibility. • The term of rental period (most rental agreements are usually for one year, but some may be month-to-month or week-to-week). • The conditions for ending or canceling your lease, including ﬁnancial implications and the amount of advance notice you must give the landlord if you decide to move out (for example, 60 days notice). • The rules or restrictions for subletting the property. • The amount the landlord is allowed to increase the rent in the future. • Any other speciﬁc restrictions (such as whether or not you can smoke in the home and whether you can have boarders, pets or a waterbed, etc.). • Details on when and how the landlord can enter your home or apartment. • The procedure for making changes to the contract. • A method for resolving any disputes or disagreements (for example, disputes about late rent payments, damage to the property or eviction). • Contact information for both you and your landlord in case of an

emergency (usually including a phone number, fax and email). For more information or a free copy of CMHC’s Guide to Renting a Home, call CMHC at 1-800-6682642 or visit our website at www. cmhc.ca. For more than 60 years, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has been Canada’s national housing agency and a source of objective, reliable housing expertise.

Packing Tips and List

Tips to make your move a little easier.

Packing TiPs

❏ ❏

Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.

❏

Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.

❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏

Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.

❏

Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.

❏

Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack

Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.

Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed. List the contents of the box on the side of it. Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home. Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering. Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less. Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint-Don’t pack all your books into one box!)

general moving TiPs

❏ Disconnect and bundle cords on television and stereo components. Label each cord with masking tape and a description of where to connect it.

❏ Plan and measure where you furniture will be placed in your new home. It’s helpful to draw a layout of your new home and sketch in the major furniture pieces.

❏ To save time on moving day, move your boxes from the basement, upstairs, or attic to the main floor prior to the move date. Consider carrying items from the back yard to the front yard or garage ahead of time.

❏ Keep your phone connected through moving day to stay in touch with friends, family and the moving company.

personal financial planning

an you name the leading cause of stress, family arguments – and, in worst cases – divorce? According to Associate Manager Gregory Brown of Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network (www.dfsin.ca/gregorybrown) in Surrey, British Columbia, it’s money. In fact, Brown feels that it’s one of the last taboo topics that is preventing important conversations about financial planning.

“When financial conversations don’t take place between spouses, parents and their children – or vise-versa – positive net worth becomes associated with positive self-worth,” says Brown. “In other words, money begins to develop many emotional attachments and deeper meanings like power, love and control. The only way to remove these misconceptions and barriers is to just start talking.” Failing to plan is planning to fail Brown suggests that the most important part of the conversation is setting goals and developing a plan to reach those goals. In fact, you may need to create three different plans that address your financial, retirement and estate distribution goals. So where does one start? “It’s not surprising that people are overwhelmed by the vast choice of financial advisors these days. So many of them use the vague title of ‘planner’, which does very little to identify their expertise,” says Brown. Important differences While financial, estate and retirement planning each focus on money management, they each address different issues and objectives. Financial planning is the most comprehensive of the three. It helps to determine TheRentersGuide.ca how you can best meet your life goals through the proper management of your financial affairs. Everyone’s goals are different based on their age, values and objectives. And these goals change over time as your life circumstances change. The key is to take into account all relevant aspects of your financial situation – The Big Picture – and to find the best way to TheRentersGuide.ca help you succeed.

Retirement Planning is the process of ensuring you have the means to maintain your lifestyle when you decide to retire. This plan helps you visualize what retirement will look like and helps determine what you’ll need to save. Estate Planning focuses on creating legacies. In other words, it identifies tax efficient ways to preserve your wealth for your family, business, charities or whatever you value most. The most important part of these three methods of financial planning is allowing yourself to dream big. What do you want to be and what do you want to achieve? Anything is possible TheRentersGuide.ca with a solid plan.

Maple

smoked Ribs 2 lb pork side ribs 1 cup pure maple syrup 3 tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate 3 tbsp ketchup 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp curry powder 1 clove garlic, minced 2 green onions, minced

Directions: Soak maple planks in sink or clean bucket filled with water for at least one hour. (This can be done during first stage of cooking the ribs.) Light one side of your barbecue, and preheat until temperature gauge shows 350°F. Place ribs meat side up in a roasting pan. Cover pan tightly with foil and place on the unlit side of your barbecue. Bake for 1 1/4 hours. In a saucepan over medium heat on the stove or on the side burner of the barbecue, combine maple syrup, orange juice concentrate, ketchup, soy sauce, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in curry powder, garlic and green onions. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Remove ribs from roasting pan, and baste completely meat side and bone side with still warm sauce. Retain 1/2 of sauce for additional basting. Place ribs on soaked maple planks bone side down.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Put the planks with the ribs on them on one side of the barbecue with low heat setting directly underneath them. Turn the other side of the barbecue to high and close lid. Keep temperature around 350°F. Planks should begin to smoke within a few minutes, and produce a sweet fragrant smoke in your barbecue. Adjust the amount of smoke you would like to add by increasing or decreasing direct heat underneath the planks, and opening or closing the lid. Do not allow planks to catch fire. Allow ribs to cook on the planks for 25 minutes. Use remaining sauce to baste ribs several times throughout cooking.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Remove planks with ribs on them from the grill and place the planks directly on a plate or tray for serving. –NC

Gail’s 12 steps

to getting organized financially By Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

SET UP Gather all your paperwork. Create a file folder for each of the following: • Chequing accounts • Retirement accounts • Credit card accounts • Personal lines of credit • Insurance: life, disability, health, critical illness, home, car • Estate: wills and powers of attorney

• Savings accounts • Investment accounts • Loans • Mortgage • Tax returns

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

finances

Welcome to 21st century banking If you don’t already have it, set up telephone or Internet banking for your accounts. Reduce fees by setting up a buffer If you can afford it, transfer $1,000 float to your chequing account (pretend it isn’t there) and use that to minimize your banking costs. save automatically Create an auto-debit from your chequing account to a savings account that will not be touched. Most people won’t put money into a savings account on a regular basis, opting to wait for a tax-refund or bonus before setting aside some money for the future. Establish an automatic savings deposit every month and your nest egg will accumulate faster than you think. Create a monthly bill summary List your bills in the date order they need to be paid to prevent you from missing a bill. If you have bills that are paid automatically from your account, write an “A” beside these bills and remember to deduct them from your spending journal at bill payment time each month.

set up your in baskets Create an in basket with two bills folders labelled “1-15” and “16-31.” When a bill comes in, look at the due date and put the bill it in the appropriate folder. Recycle all the marketing crap in the envelope. Create a second TheRentersGuide.ca in-basket with three folders labelled “bank statements”, “bills paid” and “tax receipts.”

WEEkly Make a date with your money On the 12th and 28th of each month to pay bills, set aside the time in your schedule – you’ll need about 30 minutes, depending on your bills – to pay your bills.

into thinking you have more money than you do. Go back at least a month to make sure all previous cheques have cleared. 3. Talk about anything unusual

QUarTErly

9 10

Always pay your bills in one place that you’ve equipped with your bill paying system, spending journal, envelopes, stamps, pens, pencils, a calculator, tape, a stapler and return address labels and recycling bin.

When you pay a bill, write the cheque or transaction number, amount paid, and the date you paid it on the bill. Put the paid bill in your “bill’s paid” file. Deduct the amount you’ve spent from your spending journal. If a bill has not been paid in full (tax bills are paid over several months, for example) put it back in your bills folder so you don’t forget it.

MonThly Reconcile your bank statements When your bank statements come in, put them in your inbox folder. Make a date when all your statements are in (it’ll depend on when you receive them) to: 1. Review your statements to make sure there are no mistakes 2. Reconcile your spending register; clearly mark the cheques that have been returned to you and highlight the ones in your spending register that haven’t yet cleared the bank. A cheque that is taking a long time clearing the bank can lull you

File Once a quarter, file all your paperwork to keep your system current. Talk Have a dinner with your business partner and talk about the bumps, your goals and how you’re doing.

annUally

Re-vamp your budget Review your budget using last years cc statements and bank statements to see what you actually spent. If you spent more on a particular category, make sure you know why, or look for ways to trim.

Clean up Go through your files at the end of each year and throw out bills and receipts no longer needed for auditing/budgeting purposes.

safety

Don’t count on screens for window safety

eople fall out of windows. Tragically, children fall out of windows resulting in serious injuries or death because people expect that their window screens provide adequate protection and safety. They do not. A window screen is not a safety device and many companies include warnings to this effect on their windows. Screens are only designed to keep insects out of your home. They are not intended or designed as a restraining device to prevent children from falling. David Mitten, the executive director of Sawdac’s Window Wise program explains why a screen is not a safety device: “The metal frames of the screen are generally thin metal. They are good enough to hold the shape of the screen, but will bend with the application of a few pounds of pressure. Even the weight of a small child thrown against it is more than enough to bend a screen frame, and a bent frame will often dislodge from the window. Even if the screen frame doesn’t bend enough to dislodge, the mesh is generally held in place by a small gasket or spline that is intended to be removable. Removable means that it can be removed as easily by accidental pressure as by intent, so a child bumping into a screen could result in the unsuspecting fall through the window opening.” There are measures you can take to improve the safety of your home in regard to windows. On lower floors, most window manufacturers have optional latching TheRentersGuide.ca systems that limit the opening of the window, so a toddler would be unlikely to open it wide enough to be able to get through. However, this system does not meet the exact definition of a window safety device, which requires it to withstand 150 lbs of force. There are after-market devices that do meet this criterion for windows at higher TheRentersGuide.ca elevations.

One that is recommended for a child’s room is a steel device known as a window guard. Another method is the use of safety netting. Many of these devices can be purchased at local hardware or building supply outlets. Some may be found on the Internet. Particularly for homes with children, these devices are considered essential safety equipment. Some window companies will TheRentersGuide.ca help you through their local sources or may even be able to provide you with these types of devices. NC

Foccacia F

occacia is an Italian flat bread like pizza but without the sauce and the dough is thicker. It makes great snacks or serves as an accompaniment to soups or salads.

PreParation time: 15 minutes rising time: 45 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes makes 12 PieCes ingredients: 1lb pizza dough or frozen bread dough, thawed 500 g 3 tbsp olive oil, divided 45 mL ¾ lb fresh Mushrooms, thinly sliced 375 mL (white, crimini, portabella, shiitake, oyster) 1 cup thinly sliced red or sweet onion 250 mL 1 ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian mixed herbs 7 mL 1 clove garlic, minced 1 8 black olives, pitted and sliced (optional) 8 Coarsely ground black pepper to taste 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 15 mL

direCtions: Lightly grease a baking sheet and place dough on it; with floured hands press out dough to 11 x 7-inch oval. Brush with 2 tsp (10 mL) of the oil and let rise in warm place* for 45 to 60 minutes.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in large skillet; sauté mushrooms and onions for four minutes or until moisture has evaporated; add oregano and garlic, cook ITheRentersGuide.ca more minute; let cool slightly.

With thumb or end of wooden spoon make dimpled surface on foccacia; top with mushroom mixture, pressing lightly into dough. Top with olives if using, black pepper and Parmesan. Bake 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until bottom is lightly browned and crisp. Cool slightly on wire rack. Cut in wedges or slices to serve. *To create a warm place for dough to rise, turn oven on to 200ºF (100ºC) for one minute; then turn off and place dough in warm oven. Tips: Prepare your own dough using half whole wheat flour to make it more nutritious. Kalamata or Nicoise olives cured in oil or brine are more flavourful than canned. Variations: Crumble goat cheese on top of baked foccacia and return to warm oven just to melt. Pass herb or spiced flavoured oil to drizzle on as desired. : 3.7g, Fat: 5.4g, Nutritional Information: Per Serving Calories: 143, Protein TheRentersGuide.ca Carbohydrates: 20.3g, Dietary Fibre: 1.3 g For more delicious recipe ideas visit Mushrooms Canada at www.mushrooms.ca.

5 tips for young adults to prevent online fraud Sharing pictureS and information online through Social networkS haS become a normal way of life for tech-Savvy millennialS. Unfortunately, some technology experts are concerned that young people’s sharing can go too far, putting their security at risk. A recent survey by Visa Canada found that young Canadians, aged 18 to 30, were the most likely age group to overshare personal information on social networking sites, including posting their home addresses, birth dates and phone numbers online – information that could potentially be used to carry out identity theft and other scams.

TheRentersGuide.ca What’s more, it appears this willingness to share extends into the offline world. The same survey also found that young adults are most likely to share their PIN and lend their TheRentersGuide.ca credit or debit card to others.

Security experts are chiming in to urge Canada’s young people to show some restraint to avoid putting their personal financial information at risk. “Young adults need to better understand the risks associated with oversharing personal and financial data,”says Gord Jamieson, the head of security at Visa Canada.“The more information you post, the more likely a thief will have enough information to access your accounts and commit fraud.” Jamieson recommends young people, and all Canadians, remember these five security tips before posting online:

high school mascot can help a thief gain access to your accounts. 3. Familiarize yourself with your social network’s privacy settings to help control who can see your information. 4. Create strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts. Using different passwords will limit any damage if one password is compromised. 5. Be suspicious of any requests for your personal or payment information no matter how convincing the communication or phone call you

1. Personal information is just that – personal. Don’t post information such as payment card information or SIN in a public forum or on a social networking site. 2. Pay close attention to what you share on social networking sites; even seemingly innocuous information such as your mother’s maiden name or your

received may be. Scammers may use tactics like phishing and social engineering to trick consumers into divulging personal or payment information.

Lifetime renters

Renting is more than a passing phase for many people. it can be a lifestyle where you can take advantage of more money in your pocket, less stress about maintaining your home and more time to work, play and enjoy life. We talked to real estate professional Jodi Gilmour about people who rent their home for life. By Kim Carlton

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

renters’help

renters Guide: Why do some people become lifetime renters?

Jodi Gilmour: There are loads of reasons why some people rent their place to live for life. Some of the most common influences are culture, lifestyle and financial. In many countries and cultures, renting is the norm. Take Spain and Portugal for example, where, due to tenant protection acts, it’s common to live in an apartment that your grandparents negotiated rent on in 1935, and you’re still paying 1935 rental rates (much to the chagrin of your landlord)! Other people rent for lifestyle reasons; perhaps they move from city to city for work – or adventure. If you can’t see yourself living in one place for a while, why buy a house? Lastly, loads of people become lifetime renters because renting is generally less expensive than owning. Maybe you want to spend more of your income on travel or hobbies, or maybe you never built-up much of a down payment or credit history. For lots of people, owning is never a goal, for others, it’s just never a reality. Renting is more flexible, more affordable and requires less fuss!

rG: What are some of the advantages of renting long-term? JG: People who chose stay in one rental for a long time enjoy the benefit of growing ‘roots’ – feeling truly at home in their rental, while keeping their rental rate low. In Ontario, the amount a landlord can increase rent per year is regulated (typically less than three per cent per year), so assuming the market is increasing at a higher TheRentersGuide.ca rate, these renters are beating the system. When I know renters are looking to stay for more than a year, I suggest they build the extra time into the lease

and ask for a reduction in rent. Landlords know that each time their rental switches hands it costs them, so I encourage renters to try to split the savings with the landlord. Everybody wins.

rG: How can long-term renters maximize their finances? JG: There’s a litany of ways to benefit financially from renting. By renting, you’re probably putting a smaller percentage of your take-home income towards housing, so you can spend it in other ways. In my opinion, renters should spend 20 to 28 per cent of annual income on housing, whereas homeowners can spend a little more (27 to 33 per cent) because if they hold on long enough to build equity, they’ll get some of their money back. In this case, the renters might enjoy today while the homeowners put off the fun. If you don’t have all of your credit tied up in a mortgage, you may have an easier time playing in other markets, opening a business, or making other purchases. If you work from home and don’t have an office outside of the home, you can write-off a percentage of your rental fee, (which is also true for homeowners). If your company is moving you from city to city, they should be covering your moving costs and either helping out with your rent, or paying you according to the living standards in the city they place you. If you are looking to raise a family on a budget, a very affordable way to rent is in a co-op, where residents share in the work that it takes to maintain both the property and the community that lives there. You pay less money, TheRentersGuide.ca but throw in a little elbow grease.

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

renters’help

rG: Do most long-term renters tend to stay in one rental or move around?

JG: It really depends on individual renter’s needs and the landlord’s plans for the property.

rG: Do long-term renters usually live in apartment buildings or rent a house?

JG: Apartment buildings are most common among long-term renters, by far. And I’m not certain why, but I’d guess that cost has a lot to do with it. It’s less expensive to build and maintain an apartment than a house, so they can be offered at more attractive prices.

rG: Would you recommend being a lifetime renter to someone just starting out in today’s real estate climate? How about to someone later in life who is faced with the decision whether or not to rent or to buy?

JG: Let’s first point out that everybody has to live somewhere, and nowhere is free. Let’s also acknowledge that having grown up in real estate, I’m slightly biased. In the recent real estate market, investing has been lucrative. But you need to figure out whether you’re looking for an investment or trying to establish your lifestyle and home. If you know that your health is failing, you’re losing your job, you’re facing debt, or starting out on your own for the first time (or again), renting is a great option. Later in life, health becomes a big factor. A healthy senior may wish to stay independent as long as possible. When deciding whether to move into a rented apartment or seniors home, rather than mowing lawns and maintaining the family home, renting is often a sound decision Renting is great when there are unknowns, because you can generally get out of a rental with 60 days notice and very little penalty.

How to create dazzling windows

ary Dobson, Levolor spokesperson in Canada explains some considerations to keep in mind when creating a successful window treatment:

1. Think about practical things first. What do you and your family expect from the new window treatment? Are you concerned with privacy, light control, heat loss or gain, access to the patio, or safety? 2. You don’t need to be afraid to mix patterns, textures and colours. Remember, it takes three things - pattern, texture and colour to make a room interesting. 3. Care about how your home looks to passersby. Be consistent, and remember Mary’s rule - Colour on the inside, white facing the road. 4. Fullness is important when hanging drapery. Double fullness is right for a casual look, triple fullness gives a more formal, sophisticated look. 5. Take care of the details. For example, research available sources of hardware and finials that will reinforce the style you are creating. 6. Never leave cords hanging from your blinds in rooms where there are children and pets. There are many ways to prevent accidents from TheRentersGuide.ca happening, from a cordless remote control to a simple cleat to wind the cord around. 7. Make sure your blinds are large enough to overlap the window casing all around. To TheRentersGuide.ca

increase energy efficiency and privacy, and for maximum darkness, many blinds can be equipped with a blackout lining. 8. Remember that you do need window shades. Without them, the sun will fade your furniture, floors, carpets and artwork in no time at all. 9. Trust your own taste and know your own mind. It’s your space. Consulting your yoga class will just create confusion.

TheRentersGuide.ca

10. Ask for professional help. Your independent Levolor retailer will give you good advice based on long experience, and may well provide home shopping services to be sure you make a good decision. NC

You can’t buY true love or home grown tomatoes “John Denver or Guy Clark could be singing this song,” says Jeff Howe, president of Bonnie Plants Canada. “The lyrics say that there are ‘only two things that money can’t buy: true love or home grown tomatoes’. Homegrown taste always wins the best flavour test versus store bought produce.” Tomatoes are easy to grow and perfect for the novice gardener exploring their talents by planting them in a large container or garden. Nurseries and large retailers create mixed tomato six packs for gardeners to experiment with colour, size and taste. “Grouping a variety of six tomato plants allows gardeners to try the traditional large, solid and meaty tasting tomatoes that can be served fresh in large slices or for cooking and sauces,” continues Howe.“The smaller, cherry sized tomatoes included in the mix provide a healthy and quick snack off the vine or further sweetness when cooked in a basket on the grill.” Tomato variety packs can include beefmaster, biltmore and better boy varieties – all three tomatoes are meaty, red and large for tasty large slices on a sandwich. Also part of the mix are early TheRentersGuide.ca girl – a red and flavourful mid-sized all summer tomato which is perfect to cut up for salads. Two smaller, cherry sized, sweet tasting tomatoes in the pack are sweet 100 – red and growing in clusters

TheRentersGuide.ca

throughout the summer, great for snacking, and the yellow pear - yellow and pear shaped for added interest in salads. There is more information on growing tomatoes online at www.bonnieplants.ca including the times when they arrive at your local garden centre.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Adds Howe,“Nothing beats the taste of tomatoes off the vine - the longer you leave them to ripen, the better tasting they are. You can’t buy that natural, home grown taste.” NC
