y first job fresh out of university I worked the night shift. I slept from about 6am to 2pm. So imagine my chagrin when a pianist and music instructor moved into the apartment below. Of course, her piano was directly beneath my bed. Her first pupils arrived by 9am. When she wasn’t giving classes, she was practicing. Several letters and phone calls between tenants, the landlord and the pianist later, we all came to an agreement. There would only be morning classes once a week, she would practice at her rehearsal studio and we would not hold her piano playing against her. By that point I was ready for a day job anyway... You can’t always pick your neighbours, but you can pick your community. It’s a huge decision so don’t make a hasty one. There’s nothing worse than moving and finding it’s not the right fit – whether it’s noise issues, parking issues or just general renters’ remorse. Sometimes your concerns can be easily remedied by a friendly discussion with the neighbours, sometimes it’s better to have the management get involved. Rarely, but unfortunately, sometimes the only solution is to move. Nobody wants that. Instead, some diligence when on the apartment hunt can go a long way. If you work nights, make a great deal of noise, have specific need or concerns, discuss this with the landlord. Find out if it’s the building for you. It may add time and effort to your search, but it will help you find that perfect place. That perfect apartment is waiting, we’re here to help you find it. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

MORGUARD
Can’t decide between midtown bliss or downtown buzz? The Heathview by Morguard proves you don’t have to.
FOREST HILL HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN AS THE NEIGHBOURHOOD FOR THE ESTABLISHED CROWD. But with the recent introduction of The Heathview, Morguard’s brand new condoquality rental address at Heath Street and Tweedsmuir Avenue, all that is about to change. Without question, the modern interiors and chic amenities in the two spectacular 30-storey towers will make the young urban professional sit up and take notice. But it’s also the location at St. Clair West and Spadina that bears highlighting. Because, not only does The Heathview offer the prestige of living in a coveted neighbourhood, but it’s also located mere moments away from some of Toronto’s most notable see-and-be-seen locales. THE HEATHVIEW IS LOCATED MERE MOMENTS AWAY FROM SOME OF TORONTO’S MOST NOTABLE SEE-AND-BESEEN LOCALES. First, The Heathview is conveniently located just
TheRentersGuide.ca steps from the St. Clair West subway entrance.
Day-to-day commuting to the city core and downtown nightlife are all within minutes of this midtown address, including all of the bustling places along Spadina, Bathurst and in Forest Hill TheRentersGuide.ca Village itself. Mashu Mashu, Edo Ko and Pizza
8
Banfi are the local mecca amongst the dinner crowd; the local Starbucks and Second Cup serve as gathering places after revving up at Track Fitness, or winding down at Village Yoga. A host of conveniences are also located here – making your day-to-day run that much more smoothly. Foodies and oenophiles will delight in knowing that just around the corner on St. Clair, there’s an enormous Loblaws (boasting a Joe Fresh, no less!) and the LCBO. For those preferring to eat out, a myriad of excellent restaurants and bars dot St. Clair West. Do brunch at Boom Breakfast or Brunchworks, go casual at the acclaimed Ferro. Buck the low fat trend at the buzzworthy Stockyard Smokehouse or score a coveted table at Catch – the area’s newcomer that’s attracting diners from across the city. The Corso Italia strip along St. Clair West offers Peruvian, Thai, Mexican, Italian, Sushi, Pan Asian cuisine – more than 50 neighbourhood choices on St. Clair West alone! GO CASUAL AT THE BUZZWORTHY STOCKYARD SMOKEHOUSE & LARDER OR SCORE A COVETED TABLE AT CATCH. But don’t get lulled into thinking that this neighbourhood is just about food. Art and culture enthusiasts will love The Heathview’s proximity to Wychwood Park’s thriving artscape – a dynamic 7,680 square foot “covered street” that attracts hip urban professionals with its farmers market, artists in residence, art markets and events. Spend downtime poking through the eclectic galleries and boutiques along Corso Italia. Or hit Cedarvale Park, one of many local parks with running trails and greenspaces – a definite advantage to living midtown. NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO SECURE YOUR CHOICE OF A SUITE AT THE HEATHVIEW. With construction nearing completion, now is the perfect time to secure your choice of the suites at The Heathview.

Energize
YOUR HIGHRISE
BY YANIC SIMARD
INHABITING A SMALL SPACE DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN LIVING LIGHT ON CHARACTER. To keep your home in the sky feeling like a home of your own, here are a few ways to inject a little edge. DINING › A single accent wall can be all you need (especially in a compact space) to dramatically change the look, even with wall coverings. Bouclair Home has a line of affordable wallpapers in many modern prints for a high-end look at under $30 a roll. › A custom integrated table makes a strong statement while saving space by meeting a wall. Pairing it with transparent chairs (a trendy choice) lets the architectural shape stand out.
PHOTO BY STACEY BRANDFORD
from FLOR continues to dazzle in my design studio, but I also love their Jitterbug Memories for a modern, playful take on a classic chevron. › Consider using an arcing floor lamp over a dining table for the hip retro-modern look, but they’re also very practical if you want the effect of a pendant lamp without the electrical work (or long-term commitment).
KITCHEN › Remove the doors on a cupboard (try the under-used cabinet over the fridge if you have limited space) and create a miniature gallery for photos, books and sculptural art. You’ll need less storage anyway once you invest in some warm-hued copper cookware and display
› For big impact from just a little paint, coat your interior doors in a dark gray to add sophisticated interest. I like using Benjamin Moore’s #2121-10 Gray. TheRentersGuide.ca › Carpet tiles can be laid in virtually any sized area, either wall-to-wall or as an area rug, and when an inevitable spill takes out a tile or two, they can be easily replaced TheRentersGuide.ca without heavy re-investment. The “Hide & Batik” series 30
TheRentersGuide.ca
TheRentersGuide.ca
REMOVE THE DOORS ON A CUPBOARD (TRY THE UNDER-USED CABINET OVER THE FRIDGE IF YOU HAVE LIMITED SPACE) AND CREATE A MINIATURE GALLERY FOR PHOTOS, BOOKS AND SCULPTURAL ART
it proudly on an open shelf or hanging rack – mixing metals is a hot trend so now is the perfect time. › The knobs and pulls in your kitchen are an oft-overlooked detail that can be easily switched up to add a dash of personality. › In an open-plan space with wallpaper, here’s how I keep the look consistent from kitchen to dining area: use a single wallpaper in both, and even as the backsplash. Just have a sheet of glass laid over the paper in the kitchen to create a durable surface.
BATHROOM › Visitors will always be impressed by a beautiful bathroom, especially when they fi nd something other than the everyday decor. Consider a chic cart or trolley for added storage and a pop of style. › Replacing a plain mirror with one sporting an intricate frame or modern etched detail adds visual interest in the place you’re already looking the most often. You can even layer a smaller mirror over a large one to get the best of both. › If you have the room, a small piece of unexpected furniture can make your bathroom feel less utilitarian and more like a private spa – a garden stool gives a place to perch a book while soaking in the tub, and a floor lamp (wired and safely secured) adds an extra layer of light and a decorative detail your guests won’t expect.
TheRentersGuide.ca
LIVING
› Gallery-style art collections are very trendy right now,
TheRentersGuide.ca
with people embracing the variety and easy elegance of a mismatched collection. Gather your framed pieces, replace any of the frames that stick out too much with minimal black, white or wood options (or paint them out) and hang them one by one from the centre of the wall outward (starting at eye level) until none are left or the composition feels complete. › Replacing the legs or feet on your furniture, or simply remove the existing pieces and painting them a bright shade, adds a custom detail in an unexpected place. › Freestanding lamps aren’t the only easy option for improved lighting – plug-in sconces install quickly and typically come with covers that mask the wires trailing down (no need to open the drywall). For a modern industrial vibe consider leaving the wire exposed and painting it red or another high-contrast colour. › Combine your book shelf and side table by simply stacking the biggest books right on the floor. Pile them to about 18 in. next to your favourite reading chair, and top it with a transparent tea-tray for a modern, space-saving look that’s 100 per cent unique to you.

A NEW APARTMENT
A new life BY JANE HERMAN
LIFE IS A JOURNEY, FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD TO OLD AGE... But the path is not always a straight and even one, twisting and turning through varying stages of our evolution, as we develop our independence, find a partner and build a family, live in an empty nest and ultimately on our own again. Sometimes, a long term relationship ends TheRentersGuide.ca in a divorce or the death of one’s spouse. (Apparently 50 per cent of all TheRentersGuide.ca marriages do end in divorce). Another major life change occurs when grown children move on, leaving empty nesters to readjust once again. TheRentersGuide.ca 40
TheRentersGuide.ca
Knowing that our lives do change, sometimes abruptly, it can be reassuring to know that apartment living offers many social and financial advantages that can help us successfully transition through a variety of challenging situations. THAT FIRST APARTMENT HELPS BUILD INDEPENDENCE After attending school in Montreal and living with roommates, my son announced that he no longer needed to live in the same household as us, that he was perfectly capable of cooking, cleaning, doing his own laundry and managing on his own. He’s never looked back, nor have we. Living alone for the first time affords a hands-on opportunity to share the expenses and responsibilities of managing a household with roommates – and can help develop the skills needed for later in life. APARTMENT LIVING FACILITATES THE TRANSITION TO LIFE IN CANADA New immigrants, depending on their circumstances and where they have come from, may be surprised to discover that in our society collective, intergenerational living is not the norm. Some immigrants may initially choose to live with relatives and/or friends while getting established, finding a job and adjusting to a new culture – renting is a great option during this period of transition. It offers the flexibility to move again once you have found a job, examined your needs and decided where to settle. APARTMENT LIVING HELPS YOU GET BACK ON YOUR FEET After a messy divorce several years ago, a friend of mine moved with TheRentersGuide.ca her two adolescent daughters to a comfortable three-bedroom rental apartment, to minimize her expenses
TheRentersGuide.ca
and get her finances in order.“Renting was a great option for me at that time,” she recalled.“Not only was it the most economical option available – no property taxes or maintenance fees, as in a condo – there were no landscaping or maintenance issues to worry about – even the hydro was included! Even better, the management company organized a lot of social activities for the residents, so I had the opportunity to meet a lot of my neighbours, which I found helpful and welcoming while going through the transition to being a single mom.” RENTING HELPS TO TRANSITION AFTER THE DEATH OF A SPOUSE After the death of his wife, an acquaintance moved into an apartment downtown, within walking distance of his office. After several months of coming home to an empty house filled with reminders of their life together, their children now grown, surrounded by married friends, and suddenly on his own again, he found living in a new space, with furniture he had chosen by himself, helped him to move on. Renting – and in a lively downtown neighbourhood where great shopping
and entertainment opportunities abound – was the option also chosen by his octogenarian mother, who also had the good fortune to meet a very nice gentleman in her building, after her husband died. Selling the marital home after the death of a spouse late in life affords you the advantage of the considerable equity you have accumulated, and enjoy the convenience of walking to neighbourhood shopping and recreation as well as potential social opportunities. When life takes an unexpected turn in a new direction, remember the financial freedom and social advantages renting can offer.

How to find a building with an environmentally responsible property manager B Y TE D WHI T EHEAD
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT HAS ATTRACTED A PHENOMENAL AMOUNT OF MEDIA COVERAGE AND CONCERN ACROSS INDUSTRIES, including the multi-residential apartment industry. There is a continually growing trend in Ontario amongst both property managers and tenants to become more eco-friendly in their day-to-day living, and this focused attention to environmental responsibility is very refreshing. The property manager is responsible for nurturing this shared mindset in the building – and environmentally conscientious apartment shoppers can ask specific questions to find out just how “Green” a building is. For example, ask whether the building manager has a plan in place for promoting energy efficiency and proper waste disposal, and whether they lead by example. When tenants move in, is there any kind of package or document that outlines waste management and recycling procedures in the building? Are there blue box recycling containers in user-friendly areas of the building for tenants’ use? Is the property manager well versed on the environmental programs in place in their municipality? Landlords and property managers should actively promote conservation and energy awareness to staff and tenants as a community initiative, and can inform tenants of special events such as Earth Week and Waste Reduction Week.
TheRentersGuide.ca Water conservation is another area where apartment building owners can make an effort. If it is time to replace appliances in the apartment kitchens or washers and dryers in laundry rooms, consider Energy Star rated choices that use far less energy. Low-water capacity flush toilets and TheRentersGuide.ca water-saving showerheads are examples of fixtures to turn 64
to when existing units need to be replaced. Most apartment tenants are happy to comply with waste disposal practices, as long as they know what is expected of them. Again, in a building that is run in a professional manner, this kind of information is generally provided upon move-in. Property managers and landlords should let tenants know what constitutes refuse and disposal items that can be placed in the wheeled carts or front-end containers that are emptied regularly by the municipality. When you consider how many people live and work in apartment buildings, the potential to take steps individually and collectively toward Green practices can have a substantial impact on reducing the carbon footprint of the buildings. A simple small thing, like switching off all the lights in your apartment home every time you leave it can have a big impact. As you search for the perfect building, keep the colour Green in mind and ask questions before you make your move. For more information on how to enhance the quality of life in apartment buildings, visit www.frpo.org, the site of the Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario, and www.crbprogram.org, where you can learn about the Certified Rental Building Program that can help you find reliable, well-run choices in your area.

Turn your home from bland to grand with the
NEWEST COLOUR TRENDS LOOKING TO ADD A POP OF COLOUR TO BASIC HOME DÉCOR… or transform tired-looking elements in your home? You don’t have to buy something new to incorporate the latest style and colour trends into your home. All you need is a little spray paint and inspiration from the colour and design experts at Krylon. “The Krylon colour trends for 2014 are based on the curious, optimistic attitude of society today,” says Sue Wadden, colour marketing and design manager at Krylon.“In spite of pressures and priorities, our spirit of adventure has been restored. We are ready to go, moving forward boldly to welcome new and renewed possibilities. And so our colour choices are recharged with innovative combinations.” According to Wadden, the new 2014 colour trends include:
TheRentersGuide.ca GROUNDED Today’s culture is again intrigued by, and in tune with, nature. We admire it, play in it and protect it. Whether it’s an organic garden to tend or a TheRentersGuide.ca wooded path to discover, the environment grabs

decor
our attention in new ways. Featuring colours harvested from field and forest, the Grounded trend includes earthy greens, browns and golds. Colours in the Grounded palette include: Bauhaus Gold, Burgundy, Pebble, Italian Olive, Celery, Bahama Sea and Pewter Gray.
FUSE The Fuse trend celebrates the fusion of global cultures with bright, bold colours reminiscent of tribal textiles and crafts. They all come together in the melting pot of the new millennium. Proud traditions find a place alongside new interpretations of our heritage as races and cultures collide in wonderful, colourful ways.
TheRentersGuide.ca
Colours in the Fuse palette include: Mambo Pink, Pumpkin Orange, Emerald Green, Sun Yellow, Global Blue, Pistachio
TheRentersGuide.ca
and Hunter Green.
QUEST In our current culture we no longer think we know it all, but we certainly want to. We have more interests, bigger imaginations and lots of questions. We look high and low for answers, including the vast reaches of cyberspace. Our searching has found deep, mysterious blues and surprising bright colours, which are all reflected in the Quest trend. Colours in the Quest palette include: Watermelon, Navy Blue, Blue Ocean Breeze, Citrus Green, Iris, Sea Glass and Coral Isle.
STATE OF CALM Today things move quickly and with purpose. There is so much going on that sometimes we want to turn off.
We retreat and recharge in quiet spaces surrounded by peaceful thoughts and mere whispers of colour. The State of Calm trend reflects undemanding colours - from soft pinks and whites to subdued grays and browns. Colours in the State of Calm palette include: Catalina Mist, Brown Boots, Sweet Cream, Ballet Slipper, Oxford Blue, Classic Gray and Dover White. Many of these colours are available in Krylon’s popular ColorMaster line of spray paints, with select colours also being included in other Krylon product lines such as Dual Superbond Paint + Primer and Fusion Paint for Plastic.

ACCEPT YOUR EARTH RANGERS MISSION:
Get involved and make a difference FOR EARTH RANGERS, EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY. Earth Rangers Missions provide children and families with a hands-on way to get involved and make a difference for the environment on Earth Day and any day of the year. Earlier this year, Earth Rangers announced the launch of a new component to their membership program based on ‘Missions’ - simple activities that encourage environmentally responsible behaviours while teaching children and their families how they can help protect animals and their habitats.
Missions are fun assignments that Earth Rangers Members are challenged to complete throughout the year, designed to keep them engaged and actively participating in actions that directly contribute to the health of the planet all year round. New Missions are regularly sent to members and vary in size, scope and theme, from battery recycling to making a homemade bird feeder to taking part in green activities. Earth Rangers Missions provide a new level of interaction and engagement with members, resulting in new generations of youth that are mindful about the health of the planet and wildlife. The Battery Blitz Mission encourages children to collect and recycle batteries properly by teaching them about the serious environmental impact when batteries end up in the landfill. In the first two months, over 4,000 Earth Rangers have accepted the Mission and, so far, almost 30,000 batteries have been recycled! Earth Ranger Corbett collected 150 batteries and took them to the local depot in his community.“When I heard what happens to batteries when we just throw them out, I wanted to collect batteries so we can stop them from going into landfills and hurting the Earth.” The most recent Earth Rangers Mission is For the Birds, providing kids with an easy way to make a difference right in their own backyard by building a bird feeder for their feathered friends. Birds turn food into energy at a faster rate than most other animals so are hungry more often and need a continuous supply of food. With harsh winters, cool or wet springs and stormy summers - a little extra food goes a long way. Other exciting Missions coming soon include a Green Week and a Water Taste Challenge – fun for the whole family! These Missions teach children and their families that small actions, when adopted by many, can have a huge impact. Instructions, tips and tricks and more information about Earth Rangers Missions can be downloaded from www.earthrangers.com/missions Earth Rangers outreach initiatives are supported by both private sector partners and the Government of Canada, who recently committed $3 million to help expand educational programs to more children and families across the country.
TheRentersGuide.ca Eight-year-old Corbett was inspired to become an Earth Ranger when he learned his actions can make a big difference. Committed to recycling at home and school, he accepted his Battery Blitz Mission and with help from his parents he recycled 150 batteries! (CNW Group/Earth Rangers) TheRentersGuide.ca

moving
avoid common
packing mistakes BY CHUCK RESNICK
MORE THAN 4 MILLION PEOPLE MOVED RESIDENCES IN CANADA LAST YEAR, MANY OF WHOM DID THE PACKING themselves. For some, it works out fine; others have problems resulting from a lack of foresight, poorly packed boxes and inexperience in loading moving trucks.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 92
TheRentersGuide.ca
moving
Here a re a few tips to help you avoid finding damaged items at your destination: 1. Consider purchasing boxes from your mover. The most common packing mistake we see is people getting free boxes at the grocery or liquor store and then putting too much weight in them. For example, using a large box to pack books and magazines may make it too heavy to lift, and the box might break during the move due to the weight. Use this rule of thumb: the heavier the item, the smaller the box. Be choosy about your boxes; free boxes from a grocery store that have been used to ship produce could contain insect larvae that may transfer to your belongings. 2. Be realistic about the number of boxes you need. Depending on how long you have lived in your current location, you will most likely underestimate your boxes requirement.Often, we hear of renters who think 40 or 50 boxes will be enough, and then realize they need upwards of 80, two days before moving day. 3. Start packing early and be completely packed when the movers arrive. Sometimes we arrive at a customer’s home and they’re not packed. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to move a customer’s belongings while they are attempting to shove items into boxes and we get in each others’ way. This also interferes with the optimal loading of the moving truck. We have a loading system where the first things we place in the truck are light items such as chairs, lampshades, cushions, etc; we place these items in the ‘attic’ (the area over the cab) of the truck. We can get lots of light items up there and they stay secure.
TheRentersGuide.ca Next, we create a ‘box wall’ stacked to the ceiling to hold the items in the attic in place. We then stand plastic TheRentersGuide.ca
wrapped mattresses against the box wall and secure everything with tie-off straps to keep belongings from getting jostled during the move. If you’re not completely packed and ready on moving day, we can’t create that box wall early on and, this decreases the capacity of the items that can be moved at one time. It also eats up precious time and, therefore, money! 4. Think ahead. Begin packing items you don’t use daily. As you pack your boxes move them to the front of your apartment and stack them along a wall near the front door. Having them by the door, organized and ready to go, instead of having movers go back and forth to each room can shave 10 to 20 seconds off the time for each box. Saving 20 seconds per box can save lots of time and money.
5. Consider having your moving company pack for you. We are skilled, have more experience and have standard-size small, medium and large boxes that are designed to fit into our trucks to create a perfect box wall for optimum efficiency and safety. So, when it comes to moving, forethought goes a long way. Because your belongings mean a lot to you, take extra care when packing so that they arrive at your destination safely.

ELECTRONICS RECYCLING Four reasons why you should make it a habit IF YOU WERE STANDING IN YOUR HOME HOLDING AN EMPTY POP CAN, WOULD YOU TOSS IT IN THE TRASH? Probably not – we all know these items belong in the recycling bin. But what about old and unwanted electronic items such as computers, stereos and cell phones? These should be recycled too and it’s important to start making it a habit. Here are a few TheRentersGuide.ca reasons why:
TheRentersGuide.ca
RECYCLABLE MATERIALS – Just like cans and bottles, electronic waste contains useful base materials, such as plastic, metals and glass that can easily be recycled into new products. Recovering these raw materials minimizes the need for new resources and ensures we are not filling our landfill with materials that can be used again. HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS – In addition to useful base materials, electronic waste can contain hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, inks and toners. These materials need to be carefully handled and kept out of landfill, otherwise, our environment will suffer the consequences. EASY AND CONVENIENT – The Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) program accepts more than 40 types of electronic items at more than 600 permanent collection sites across Ontario. In fact, nearly 85 per cent of Ontarians live within 10 Kms of an OES-approved collection site. OES also hosts hundreds of collection events throughout the year at various locations across the province. SAFE AND SECURE – The companies that work with OES adhere to some of the highest environmental and health and safety standards in the world. When dropping off electronics at an OES-approved site, you can be assured these items will be processed safely and securely. Whether it’s bottles or cell phones, the reason for recycling is simple: to keep potentially harmful waste out of landfill in order to achieve a greener, healthier environment. Visit TheRentersGuide.ca recycleyourelectronics.ca to find the nearest collection site or view upcoming events in your area. Do the world a favour, recycle your electronics. ontarioelectronicstewardship.ca – NC

quicktips
the psychology
of mess Little adjustments reduce the clutter-making process
by HELLEN BUTTIGIEG ELIMINATE YOUR CLUTTER HOT SPOTS We all have certain spots in our homes that have become magnets for clutter, usually because they provide a convenient, empty flat surface to pile things on. Walk around your home to determine where the clutter hot spots are, then remove the clutter (toss it in a box or laundry basket for now) and put something beautiful in its place, like a vase or a sculpture. If it’s the dining room table, set it as if you were having a dinner party. This will deter you from using it as a drop zone. Walk around your home with the box you tossed everything into and deposit these items where they belong, either in the garbage or recycle box or stored elsewhere in your house. If they don’t have a proper home, create one. KEEP YOUR PANTRY DECLUTTERED Most people can’t resist buying items when they go on sale. But when it comes to food, buying too much and neglecting to use it before the expiry will cost you more in the long run. It’s easy to forget what you have on hand when things build up. Whether you keep your food in the kitchen cupboards or are lucky enough to have a large pantry, keeping these areas streamlined and organized will save you time, money and frustration. Before going grocery shopping, take an inventory of everything you have and plan the meals for the upcoming week with an eye towards incorporating these items. Once you’ve used up the excess, get into the habit of planning your weekly meals in advance. You will avoid over-buying and will always know what you’re making for dinner. STOP PAPERS FROM ACCUMULATING Are you wasting your valuable time shuffling papers? Get into the habit of thinking twice before bringing home any piece of paper or printing a page. Ask yourself whether you have a specific use TheRentersGuide.ca for it, and if you don’t have a clear answer, leave it behind (no matter how interesting it looks). When you’re at a show or a conference, before you take the pamphlets and handouts, get realistic about what you’ll really have time to read when you get home. Paper hoarding is a habit that you can break, and TheRentersGuide.ca doing so will save you time and energy. 106
PURCHASE FURNITURE THAT DOES DOUBLE-DUTY Consider purchasing a few of the multi-functional furniture pieces that have become readily available in the stores recently. For example, consider an upholstered ottoman that not only provides a place to put your feet up, but also offers additional seating, doubles as a coffee table and opens up to reveal hidden storage. CREATE AN IN/OUT ZONE IN YOUR HOME Set up a small container for each family member on a table or a small bookcase by the door as a place to hold keys, cell phones and wallets. It can also act as a landing spot for brief-cases and backpacks. In addition to providing a home for those items when you walk in the door, it also gives you a consistent spot to place things you’ll need to take with you when you leave the next morning. ARE YOU BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY YOUR POSSESSIONS? If you’re reluctant to get rid of certain items because they were expensive, think about how much it’s costing you to keep them. The more possessions you have, the more time it takes to care for them and the more space it takes to store them. Although it may be difficult to let go of things that no longer serve you, the payoff is well worth it: you’ll have more free time in your day and be more relaxed in your home. FEELING STUCK If you find yourself backsliding when it comes to maintaining your organizing systems, don’t berate yourself, as this will sap your energy and prevent you from doing anything about it. Rather than dwelling on what went wrong, focus instead on what needs to be done. Just say “oops” and move on to taking action.

HOW TO READ YOUR CREDIT REPORT You should know what’s on your credit report Check it at least twice a year. B Y GAI L VAZ -OX LADE
YOUR CREDIT HISTORY IS RECORDED IN YOUR CREDIT REPORT MAINTAINED BY CANADA’S THREE MAJOR CREDIT-REPORTING AGENCIES: Equifax Canada, TransUnion Canada and Northern TheRentersGuide.ca Credit Bureaus Inc. A credit report is a “snapshot” of your credit history and is the primary tool lenders use to TheRentersGuide.ca decide whether or not to give you credit. TheRentersGuide.ca 110
TheRentersGuide.ca
finances Your credit score is a judgment about your financial health. It indicates the risk you represent for lenders, and your profit potential, compared with other consumers. The higher your score, the lower the risk for the lender and/or the more profitable you will likely be as a customer. Some credit-reporting agencies report the lenders’ rating of each of your credit history items on a scale of one to nine. A rating of “one” means you pay your bills within 30 days of the due date. A rating of “nine” means that you never pay your bills at all or that you have made a consumer debt repayment proposal to the lender. A letter will also appear in front of the number: for example, I2, O2, R2. The letter stands for the type of the credit you are using. “I” refers to an installment loan, such as for a car loan, where you borrow money once and repay it in fixed amounts, on a regular basis, for a specific period of time until the loan is paid off. “O” refers to open credit such as a line of credit, where you borrow money, as needed, up to a certain limit and the total balance is due at the end of each period. Student loans can also fall into this category because the money may not be owing until you are out of school. “R” refers to revolving credit, on which you make regular payments in varying amounts depending on the balance of your account, and can then borrow more money up to your credit limit. Credit cards are revolving credit. The most common ratings are“R”ratings. These are known as North American Standard Account Ratings and are the most frequently used. The “R”indicates that the item being described involves revolving credit. If you always pay on time, it will be coded an R1. If an amount was written off because you never paid it back, it is coded R9. The R ratings are a TheRentersGuide.ca coding system that translates “on time”, “one month late”,“two months late”, etc., into two-digit codes.
TheRentersGuide.ca
R00--Too new to rate; approved but not used; R1--Pays (or paid) within 30 days of payment due date or not over one payment past due R2--Pays (or paid) in more than 30 days from payment due date, but not more than 60 days, or not more than two payments past due R3--Pays (or paid) in more than 60 days from payment due date, but not more than 90 days, or not more than three payments past due R4--Pays (or paid) in more than 90 days from payment due date, but not more than 120 days, or four payments past due R5--Account is at least 120 days overdue, but is not yet rated “9”
Canada’s three major credit-reporting agencies are: Equifax Canada Tel.: 1-800-465-7166 or Fax: (514) 355-8502 Email: consumer.relations@equifax.com TransUnion Canada Tel.: (905) 525-0262 or Toll-free: 1-866-525-0262 (except in Quebec) Tel.: (514) 335-0374 or Toll-free: 1-877-713-3393 (Quebec residents) Northern Credit Bureaus Inc. Fax (toll-free): 1-800-646-5876
R6--This rating does not exist. R7--Making regular payments through a special arrangement to settle your debts (i.e., credit counseling) R8--Repossession (voluntary or involuntary return of merchandise) R9--Bad debt; placed for collection; moved without giving a new address or bankruptcy.

THAI SPICY NOODLES
Recipe from The Bamboo Cooks Cookbook DIRECTIONS FOR THE FRITTERS
Soak the rice noodles in cold water for at least four hours or overnight. Take 1/4 cup of the oil and heat in a frying pan until it’s hot but not smoking. Fry the tofu for about two minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and let cool down. When it’s cool, dice into cubes. In a medium sized wok, heat the remaining oil until it’s very hot. Add the chicken and garlic and stir constantly for two minutes. Add the shrimp and tofu, and stir for one minute. Add the eggs and stir fry constantly until the eggs are cooked. With the wok on high heat, add the drained noodles and stir fry until they become limp and slightly translucent. Add the fish sauce, lime juice, tomato purée, sugar and chilies, stir frying for three minutes.
THE FIRST TIME I EVER HAD PAD THAI WAS AT THE BAMBOO, FAMOUS FOR ITS EXOTIC WORLD BEAT MUSIC AND FABULOUS ASIAN/CARIBBEAN CUISINE. A long-gone-but-notforgotten cornerstone of Toronto’s funky Queen West scene through the 1980s and 1990s, The Bamboo showcased cutting-edge reggae, funk, R&B, Latin, jazz and soul, and cranked out signature Caribbean, Indonesian and Thai dishes that kept the ‘Boo’ at the top of virtually every ‘best-place-to-eat’ list in the city from the day it opened. It was the hottest place to be. The music was loud, the place was usually packed and the food was new and exciting. Two veteran chefs were brought in – Vera Khan handled the Caribbean fare, while Wandee Young did the Thai cooking. Their cuisine is legendary. Rumour has it that whenever David Bowie was in town, he had to have the Bamboo’s Ka Kai Soup and Thai Spicy Noodles.
Add 1/4 cup of peanuts, the bean sprouts and green onions, and mix well for two minutes. Serve immediately with fresh cilantro, lemon wedges, cucumber or watermelon slices and garnish with remaining chopped peanuts. Add a few extra chilies for extra zingy Pad Thai!
THAI SPICY NOODLES INGREDIENTS Serves 4 › 1/3 package Thai Rice Noodles ›TheRentersGuide.ca 3/4 cup vegetable oil › 1 cake of tofu › 1 lb deboned chicken breast, leg or thigh, cut into bite-size pieces › 4 cloves garlic › 8 black tiger shrimp (21/25), TheRentersGuide.ca peeled and deveined, tails on

Not only are our readers speciďŹ cally interested in renting, but market research shows they'll even pass the magazine along to other potential renters as well! No wonder more Landlords are choosing to advertise with Renters Guide Magazine!
