EDITORS’ NOTES
r
enting an apartment over owning a home makes lots of financial sense for people in many different life situations. Maybe you just can’t afford to buy a home or don’t want to spend your hard-earned money on one. Maybe you have a plan to buy a home in a few years and want to start saving for a down payment. Or maybe you’re simply not interested in the cost and commitment that come with being a homeowner. No matter why you’re renting an apartment, you need to know your rights as a tenant. As part of the process, your landlord must give you a copy of the agreement after you sign and return it. Since this document outlines all the terms you’ve agreed to, it’s an important document to have on hand. You should avoid breaking a lease if at all possible. Each lease agreement has its own penalties for not honouring the outlined terms. Be sure to check your lease to make sure you can handle the financial ramifications that come with breaking a lease – before you break it.

t’s Earth Day on April 22. It’s great that there’s a day that brings mass attention to the Earth, the environment and the issues that are occurring. While being Green has been gaining popularity year-overyear, and more and more people are becoming conscious of their personal impact on the world around them, there’s still much to be done. Earth Day is a great time for people to share their efforts and spread awareness about important environmental issues. This year why not check out some of the festivities, get involved, learn and have fun. Earthday.ca has numerous events and initiatives to attend and try. By living in an apartment you’re already living Green. Multi-family dwellings are more efficient and have more energy savings than single-family homes. You may want to think about things like your energy consumption – can you turn off appliances and unplug electronics when they’re not in use? Can switch to energy-saving light bulbs? Can you do your laundry in cold water instead of hot? How about a community swap? Instead of landfill, might someone else in your apartment need those items – from books to clothes and furniture that you no longer want? Learn how to dispose of hazardous materials properly, from batteries to fluorescent bulbs and paint. Green isn’t just a colour, it’s a lifestyle, and it’s a responsibility everyone needs to embrace. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place to go Green! Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Cabbagetown a village in the heart of the city by Jane Herman
C
abbagetown is a historic district situated on the east side of downtown Toronto, running roughly from Gerrard Street to the south; Wellesley Street to the north; Sherbourne Street to the west and east to the Don River. The neighbourhood’s name derives from the waves of Irish immigrants who settled in the area in the 1840s, planting cabbages in their front yards. In the late 1940s a number of Cabbagetown’s original neighbourhoods were demolished to make way for two major highrise development projects: St. Jamestown, a 69-acre complex of highrise buildings extending from Bloor to Wellesley and from Sherbourne to Parliament; and Regent Park, a social housing project south of Gerrard.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 16G
TheRentersGuide.ca
Beginning in the 1970s a wave of real estate frenzy swept over Cabbagetown, as young professionals began buying up the neighbourhood’s quaint but run-down Victorian houses and restoring them. Today, Cabbagetown is a historic conservation district. There’s an annual Cabbagetown Festival which takes place the second weekend in September, featuring arts and crafts, a parade and the highly popular “Tour of Homes,” in which these historic homes are opened for paid public viewing.
Having Fun Since Cabbagetown lies on the west bank of the Don River, there is an extensive area of parkland and greenspace within walking distance of the neighbourhood’s residential areas. Even if you live in a large highrise, you can enjoy Riverdale Park, now the site of Riverdale Farm, and a weekly farmer’s market (in season), and many access points to the extensive pathway along the Don River. Beautiful Wellesley Park lies at the end of Wellesley Avenue and abuts the St. James Cemetery, the city’s oldest. The St. Jamestown Library and Community Centre at the corner of Sherbourne and Wellesley serves the
community. Many artists, musicians and writers have made their home in Cabbagetown and the area contains some of the best dance facilities in the city, including the Toronto Dance and Canadian Children’s Dance Theatre.
Shopping There’s a neighbourhood shopping district along Parliament and Carlton, where chic coffee shops, banks and pubs can be found along with a variety of discount stores. There are great staples like groceries and pharmacies in the mix so that the basics are easily accessed and the great independent shops add to the community’s flavour.
Living in the Neighbourhood The area has reasonable rent – especially considering its proximity to downtown. There are numerous highrises and mid-rises, as well as some low-rise, giving a great variety of options to renters. With all of the redevelopment in the area, it’s experiencing a period of growth, modernization and revitalization. Some gentrification has come with the new wave of development. The area has seen new use of old space and enjoys quite a sense of community.

ESTABLISH PRIORITIES WHEN SHOPPING FOR AN APARTMENT
by Ted Whitehead
W
hen you go apartment-hunting, there are many considerations for a renter to keep in mind. Location is critical, especially when a work commute is in order. If you rely on public transportation, you want a building on a bus or subway route, and even if you own a vehicle, living close to major highways is a help. Rent, of course, is a major factor, and you definitely want the most for your money. You need to look at square footage, the number of rooms including bedrooms, the overall appearance of the building, how well it’s kept up, safety features, and so on. When looking for your apartment home, it is smart to make a must have/nice-to-have list for purposes of comparison. After all, the apartment you choose will be your home, and you want it to feel like “home” as much as possible. That concept, however, is different for different people. Renting an apartment that includes major appliances is a must have for most renters. If you have a pet and select a pet-friendly building, you may consider it a must to have a park nearby for walks. Families with young children might place “playground facilities” on their must-have list, but place something like a fitness room in the nice-to-have column.
TheRentersGuide.ca
All of these things are important, but your top priority should be to
choose a building that is well cared for by a professional staff who care about the building they manage and their customers – the tenants who reside in their building. After all, your apartment is your home and you should expect it to be a good quality place to live. That’s where the Federation of RentalHousing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) comes in. We understand what a big decision it is to choose an apartment building, and we believe people should be able to expect certain standards of quality and service when they rent. To help consumers know when they find an apartment building that meets those standards, we created the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP). This program establishes accountability for owners and rental property managers to actively practice more than 36 established building management and customer service “quality-standards” in order to qualify their buildings for the Certified Rental Building designation. When you see the CRBP logo posted in a multi-residential apartment building in Ontario, you can be assured that the owner/property manager cares enough about “quality
and service” to go the extra step in applying for and satisfying the requirements for the program. These include a training and education component for building staff that includes learning on several topics such as knowledge of the Human Rights Code, fire and building code compliance, employee training policies, adherence to Occupational Health & Safety Act procedures,. Information/privacy law compliance, customer response guidelines to tenant maintenance and general inquiry standards, etc.. All apartment buildings submitted into the program must go through rigorous audit process carried out by J.D. Power and Associates. Renters should never have to sacrifice “quality of the product” or “quality of service” in their search for the ideal apartment home. The CRBP now makes that search much easier for Ontario renters and many of you have place the CRBP certification on the top of their “must-have” list when finding a new place to live. For more information on CRBP, visit www. crbprogram.org.

Just Starting Out? Renting is Your Best Choice By Jane Herman
TheRentersGuide.ca
TheRentersGuide.ca
If you’re a young single professional, or a recently married couple, there are many good reasons why you should choose to rent instead of buying TheRentersGuide.ca your first residence. TheRentersGuide.ca
38G
At this stage of your life, you may be finishing up your education, paying off student loans, or just beginning your first job(s). It’s not likely that you will have even accumulated enough cash to use as a down payment. One of the many advantages renting has over home ownership, is that there is no large down payment to be paid up front. You only have to come up with your first and last month’s rent. And despite the message of real estate marketers who try to convince you that you can own a condominium or home for the same price as renting, here’s the truth: renting is always substantially less than owning. While it is possible that monthly mortgage payments might be comparable to what you’d pay to rent, as an owner you will also have to pay property taxes, all maintenance expenses (either monthly maintenance payments in a condo, or all costs of repairs and maintenance from appliance repairs, to landscaping, snow shoveling, etc. in a house). Many apartments include utilities or hydro in the rent, and when owning you would also have to pay an additional amount for these services. What about insurance? Tenants’ insurance is always less expensive than the cost of insuring your own home. At this stage of your life, flexibility is most important because you are very likely to move again within the next three to five years, either to take another job, go back to school, or because your family is growing and your needs are changing. It’s much easier to make a move when your only obligation is a one-year lease. TheRentersGuide.ca The hassle and expense of having to sell your home would unnecessarily complicate any career move.
Some bankers and real estate professionals will try to convince you that with renting you’re not building equity. But when you factor in all the hidden costs of buying and selling real estate, from commissions, to legal fees to land transfer taxes, etc. , the reality is that no condo or house is going to appreciate that much in the short term to offset those hidden costs. If you are lucky enough to actually have enough cash accumulated to use as a down payment on a house, keep it in a secure two or three year term investment with a good return. When you run the numbers you will be much further ahead three years down the road than if you had invested it in a condo. The other good reason for renting at this stage of your life is that renting can offer all of the benefits of living in a prime neighbourhood – one that you likely couldn’t afford to buy in – such as convenience to transportation, shopping, recreation facilities, etc., along with condoquality amenities such as fitness
facilities, concierge, indoor/outdoor pools, etc. decorating upgrades, spectacular kitchens and bathrooms, etc. at a price that won’t leave you cash-strapped. With renting, you’ll be able to save a little every month, for emergencies, travel, retirement, or have a little more disposable income for furniture, a car, clothing, and entertainment, which is also important to you. When you consider all the advantages that renting affords, you’ll see that your dream home is really an apartment!

quicktips
don’t let your stuff own you by Hellen Buttigieg
The closets are full. There isn’t an unused
surface. The junk drawer is overflowing. The piles have piles and the storage space is full too. You need it all, you just don’t have enough space to put it. Or do you need it all? Do you need to create more storage space or do you need to pare down your stuff? Take a closer look and decide what you’re holding onto, and why. Separate ‘need’ from ‘obligation’, ‘sentimentality’ and ‘just in case’. You may find you have the space to store what you need. You’ll just need to dig deep to find the strength to free yourself of the rest. After all, do you own all that stuff – or does it own you? Let go of ‘obligation clutter’ ‘Obligation clutter’ refers to the stuff we are holding on to because we feel a sense of duty. It can be gifts we’ve received, heirlooms we’ve inherited, or things we are saving for our kids. If you are holding on to any of these types of things, I’m giving you permission to let them go, and here’s why: You have no duty to keep gifts forever. The last thing the gift-giver would want is for their gift to be a burden. If a gift you gave were unused, wouldn’t you be happier if it were donated, so someone else could enjoy it? It can be emotionally taxing to part with inherited items, but there are more meaningful ways to honour a person’s memory than keeping all their things. Releasing a loved one’s belongings doesn’t betray the memory of the person. It’s a bit easier with time, so take the time you need. But please do not hold on to inherited items because of guilt. If you’re keeping things for your children, please consider asking them if they are even remotely interested in having them. Remember, they will have their own taste. Do you really want to burden them with things that don’t suit their style or their life? Offload off-site storage If you are paying a hefty monthly bill to store your belongings off-site in a rented storage container, it’s time to reconsider its value. Out of sight is usually out of mind. If you are not using the items, it may be beneficial to sell them or give them away. The money spent storing the stuff over a long period of time often exceeds the value of those items.
Arrange sheets according to their room, and place the corresponding labels on the front of the shelves. If closet space is limited, keep an extra sheet set between the mattress and box spring of each bed. Don’t let excuses keep you stuck When editing your closet, you’ll make all kinds of excuses to keep things. I’ve compiled a list of the most popular excuses I’ve heard – and my response to them. Reconsider keeping clothes that no longer serve you. Top seven Excuses for holding on to clothing we don’t wear
1 It will come back in style. Yes, it will. But the fabric and cut will be slightly different and everyone will be able to tell you have been holding on to it since 1978! 2 It will fit once I lose weight. You may lose weight in different places and it may still not fit. It may go out of style by the time you lose the weight. Reward yourself by buying new clothes instead of wearing your old things. 3 I paid a lot of money for it. And it makes you feel guilty every time you look into your closet and see it hanging there, so let go of the reminder, and the shame. 4 I wore it on my first date, the day I got promoted, etc. Don’t let sentimental items take up valuable space in your closet. That’s like allowing the past to take up space and crowd out the present. Take a picture and let it go or keep it and store it elsewhere. 5 Someone bought it for me. They’ll never know, and even if they find out, they’ll understand. They would not be happy knowing their gift has become a burden to you. 6 It needs repairs. Put a deadline on it and let it go if you let that deadline pass by without acting on it. 7 I need it just in case. This is probably the top excuse I hear, and it is based on fear. Be brave – unless you can find a specific reason to hold on to something, find the courage to let it go.
TheRentersGuide.ca
Liberate your linen closet Let go of all the sheets and towels that are torn, stained, or that you’re keeping ‘just in case’ (consider donating them to your local humane society). You really only need one extra set of sheets for each bed. Fold pillowcases and fitted sheets into their TheRentersGuide.ca matching flat sheets so that the set stays together neatly. 48G

Make your move
Moving etiquette follow the
golden rule B Y DA N H O P K I N S
E
ven at the best of times, moving day can be stressful for everyone involved. Whether you are moving into or out of a condominium, lowrise home or a commercial property, a move involves trucks, boxes, packing materials, workers and a certain amount of organized chaos. As with any major event, preparation is key. There are certain things to do on moving day to make things go as smoothly as possible. The first is to be sure to bring your manners with you.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca
50G
TheRentersGuide.ca
Think of the following tips as “moving etiquette.” • Let your neighbours at both ends know when to expect the movers to pull into your place. Ensure that the movers park and unload to avoid blocking anyone else’s driveway or trespassing on other property while items are being carried into or out of your new place. It is important to respect your neighbours’ privacy and property. • If you are booking a residential move and have the choice, select 9 or 10 a.m. for your truck to arrive. This is a time when people who work the 9-to-5 shift are not at home, and you are less likely to cause them any inconvenience. • Everyone wants to move at the same time, but this can tie up the elevators and make it impossible for residents to come and go, so instead of chaos, the property management will book a block of time for you to move. Book the elevators well in advance – in both the building you are leaving and the building you will be moving into – so that you can have the benefit of arranging your time comfortably. You should also check to see if movers are restricted to using specific doors. Sometimes there are service areas to use for moving so that the rest of the tenants aren’t disturbed or inconvenienced, or to accommodate large, heavy pieces of furniture. • Make arrangements for your pets to be cared for elsewhere. The very nature of a move means that doors will be open for long periods, and having animals wandering in and out can be dangerous for them and for those carrying your belongings.
refreshed and energized. • Most people wonder about whether to tip movers. Tipping is not compulsory in our industry, so it is totally up to you. If you feel your moving crew has done an exemplary job, by all means, show your appreciation that way. Whether or not you tip, you should expect excellent service. • Most moving companies are good about removing packing materials, crates, boxes, etc. when they leave. If anything is left behind, collect it yourself and dispose of it. • As items are moved out of rooms, take advantage of the opportunity to sweep, mop and clean what you can. Think about how you would like to find the place you are moving into and act accordingly. Some people hire cleaners to come in and work their magic before turning in the key to the landlord or new owners. You may even want to check your lease, some leases and tenant agreements stipulate the condition of cleanliness and you don’t want to be sent a bill from your old landlord because you didn’t fulfil your obligations at your old apartment when leaving. • Keep your cool. By moving day, you are likely to be tired and worried about all your items arriving at your destination without any damage. So, it’s all about common courtesy – treating others the way you would like to be treated – and it works both ways. That’s why at Two Men and a Truck – Canada, we follow “The Grandma Rule.”We treat everyone the way we would want our grandmothers to be treated, and we appreciate clients who do the same in return!
• If the movers are playing a radio, ask them to keep the volume down to avoid bothering small children or elderly neighbours who may want peace and quiet. • The physical nature of moving means that your movers will get thirsty and hungry. Although it is not necessary, offering cool drinks and some snacks is always greatly appreciated. Cold water and pop during the TheRentersGuide.ca summer or coffee and hot chocolate in the winter can go a long way to keeping movers

Leslie Styles, foodie & travel aficionado, shares some delicious dishes found on her travels around the world.
Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes with Mint Directions For the fritters
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda into large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter and oil until combined. Add the eggs and whisk to blend. Then whisk in the buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, and peel. Next, add the buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients, and whisk just to blend. Stir in the frozen blueberries, then divide the batter among the muffin cups. Bake the cupcakes until a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 23 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to racks and let cool. For the frosting, combine the first five ingredients together in medium bowl. Add 4 teaspoons of milk. Using an electric mixer, beat until the mixture is well blended and fluffy, adding more milk by teaspoonfuls if dry, about four minutes.
f
luffy, moist and bursting with bright flavours, these luscious lemon blueberry cupcakes, slathered with an amazingly rich, delectably smooth and pillowy buttercream frosting, are like sunshine on a plate. Garnished with a rain of fresh blueberries and a sprig of aromatic mint, it’s no small wonder why cupcakes have become such a culinary phenomenon. The secret to this delicious recipe? Freezing the berries before adding them to the batter which prevents them from sinking to the bottom and discoloring the cupcakes. Everyone loves a cupcake, and these perfect bitesize treats are sure to make every occasion a celebration. ingredients Makes 24 cupcakes Cupcakes: 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt TheRentersGuide.ca 1/4 tsp baking soda 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 1/4 cup canola oil 2 large eggs 1 cup buttermilk or low-fat yogurt 1 cup whole milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1TheRentersGuide.ca tbsp lemon zest 1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries, frozen four hours
54G
Frosting: 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar 10 tbsp (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple sugar 1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 4 tsp (or more) whole milk 1 cup chilled fresh blueberries Fresh mint sprigs
To decorate, spread the frosting over top of the cupcakes, and garnish with chilled berries and little sprigs of mint sprigs.

Bringing Together
‘His’ & ‘Her’ Style by yanic simard
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 76G
The reality is that once you move in
together you have to share a space, and your space ultimately reflects your style. You have to take what you both have already and determine what to keep, what will work and what won’t. Whether it be her childhood teddy bear, or that ugly thing he calls a “sofa,” the issue that arises is how to blend her past along with his, and still have an extremely welldecorated and tasteful place to go home to.
Do we have to keep that? What is that? What do we need to buy? These are just some of the questions that will come up along the way Do we have to keep that? What is that? What do we need to buy? These are just some of the questions that will come up along the way. You both need to be on board, and working toward a design goal that will make both of you happy at the end of the day. Hopefully you share at least some of the same taste! Opposites attract, so pairing your pieces together can work. Mix heavier and lighter pieces together, and mix opaque with transparent. When you start mixing and matching your styles you will be surprised at how harmonious it can look. Just make sure that you listen to each other – you need to understand each other’s needs and wants. It’s a good idea to spend a weekend and analyze what you both have to determine where you stand in terms furnishings for your home. Will you be having children down the road? Children will determine a lot of things, such as what you really need to invest in. Do you really need that 52-inch plasma television, or should you spend on something else? Make a wish list that is prioritized, TheRentersGuide.ca starting with what you really need and where your money needs to go first. Find common ground and choose on an overall design style and concept.
If you have a piece of furniture that you just can’t let go of, changing the look of it is the best way to hold onto it. Consider re-upholstering or painting it to match your new, blended décor. Complement your existing furniture with newer pieces that link both styles. You can take his dining room chairs, match it with her dining room table and purchase a new light fixture that will join the two styles. By combining your pieces, you can create some of the most visually interesting and appealing rooms. Merging your styles together will not happen over night. Eventually the two styles will come together, creating what will hopefully be a balanced and harmonious space. Combining the styles will take thought, and whether it be including her teddy bear, or that ugly sofa of his, it just needs to be executed in the right way, creating an extremely well-decorated and tasteful place to go home to.

finances
Are you financially fit? Most people are financially flabby. How fit are you By G a il V a z - Ox l ad e
P
eople spend a lot of time worrying about what they eat, how much they weigh, and how healthy their hearts are. According to Statistics Canada, life expectancy rose by almost 2 1/2 years for men and by almost 1 1/2 years for women between 1986 and 1996. But while we are all now living longer and healthier lives, for many people, financial fitness still isn’t a reality. Only 30 per cent of Canadians follow a monthly budget while just 40 per cent of us have a formal financial plan in place. Yikes! The fallout of all this inactivity (is it inattention or procrastination?) is that the realities of Canadians’ lives are a long way off their expectations. A CIBC Financial Health Poll conducted by COMPAS Inc., showed that 37 per cent of those who retired and then returned to work did so because they didn’t have enough money. What would they have done differently if they could do it all over? Well, 60 per cent say that in hindsight TheRentersGuide.ca they would have started investing earlier and they would have saved more. Hmmm. More than just having enough money, our level of financial fitness reflects TheRentersGuide.ca our ability to bring our current and
future needs into balance. To have a balanced financial plan, you must set some realistic goals. Just as most athletes have specific goals towards which they consistently work, the key to financial fitness is to set achievable goals and consistently work towards them. What weighs most heavily on your mind? Very likely there will be several issues competing for your limited financial resources. Do you want to accumulate a specific amount of money, eliminate your biggest debt or pay off that new car? Weighing each of your goals against the others will help you to see which are the most important ones. There are no right or wrong answers at this point. Right now, you’re just laying the plan. Later, if you want to doublecheck it, you can ask your financial adviser to look it over and see what’s missing. Okay, it’s time to pick up a pen
and get to work. Make a list of everything you want to achieve Make sure you’ve covered each of the seven areas of a financial plan Prioritize your list Pick two goals Make sure your goals are realistic Set some dates Write it all down Check your progress every six months Having decided where you want to be, you need to determine where you are now so you can size up the gap. Complete a net worth statement to see just how balanced your finances are and update this statement annually. It is your scorecard of how much your efforts are paying off. Next, do a budget so you can see exactly where your money goes each month. EstimateTheRentersGuide.ca how much you spend monthly, track your expenses for about three months, and revise your budget to reflect your actual expenditures. Don’t cop out and say,“Well I had unusually high
TheRentersGuide.ca 108G
finances expenses this month because...”Emergencies always crop up, and part of being financially fit is having a plan for dealing with those nasty little surprises. Now look at your income relative to your expenses. If your expenses seem too high, you can either cut back on what you’re spending or increase your income. Consider a part-time job to boost your earnings on a short-term basis. If you have extra space, think about renting a part of your home for extra income or sharing your home to reduce your living expenses. Consolidate bank accounts to save on fees. Brown-bag it for a few months to trim your waistline and your budget. Share newspapers, magazines and books with friends and co-workers. Park the car. Having done your warm up exercises - you’ve written your financial goals down in order of priority, completed a net worth statement and set up a budget - you now have to decide how to meet your goals. Let’s say you plan to start an investment program.You want to save $25,000 over the next five years. If you’re looking at your budget and thinking,“There’s just no way!”maybe you need to adjust your time frame. Or perhaps you need to look at how you’re investing your savings. One rule of investing is the longer you have to reach your goal, and the more your money earns during that time, the less you have to set aside each year. If you haven’t already done so, establishing an emergency fund for large, unforeseen expenses or temporary job loss should be a priority. Ideally, your emergency fund should be able to support you for three to six months. If someone in your household shares the expenses, consider how long it would take him or her to find another job. Check over your accounts and make sure you’re getting the most for the least. There’s no point in paying for services that you’ll use only once in a blue moon. Little things like choosing a passbook option rather than receiving a statement can save you money. If you can reduce or eliminate your fees by maintaining a specific minimum balance, consider consolidating your accounts to reduce your costs. If maintaining a monthly balance is a problem, then you’ll have to compare individual service charges to choose the least expensive account for your purposes. Attracted to the“packaged”accounts? Take the time to compare the individual fees with the package costs to see if you come out ahead. The idea is to pay for only the services you’ll use. Now it’s time to look at your debt. Begin by eliminating credit card balances and consumer loans. Often people pay only the minimum required without realizing how much interest costs work against their overall plan. If you have several cards with high balances, consider a consolidation loan to reduce your interest costs. Does your card charges a high rate of interest? Transfer your balance to lower cost card. If you have only a small amount to work off, put your cards away until the debt is cleared. Once you’re debt free, by all means take advantage of the convenience credit cards offer, but keep tight control of them and pay your balance off in full every month. Prepare for the risks of everyday life. The risks we seem to deal with quite easily are property insurance, car insurance, contents insurance. The risks we tend to overlook are those associated with our economic earning power. If you or your partner were to die or become ill or disabled and unable to work, would your family have the resources to meet their day-to-day needs? It’s a tough question to face, but the consequences of not facing it can be even tougher on your family. Life insurance will protect your family’s standard of living if you die. Disability insurance will provide you with an income if you cannot work due to illness or injury. Critical illness insurance will pay you a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specific illness. TheRentersGuide.ca Long-term care insurance will pay the bills should you (or other members of your family) need in-home or facility care. Don’t forget to do some retirement planning. The only one you can count on is you.
Through means testing of pension and age tax credits, and reduction in senior’s benefits, the government is saying loudly and clearly“You are responsible for providing for yourself.”Thankfully, we still have Registered Retirement Savings Plans. Any money contributed to an RRSP remains tax-deferred until the funds are withdrawn. And since investments held in RRSPs also grow on a tax-deferred basis, they grow much more quickly than investments held outside an RRSP. Despite the fact that almost everyone should have a will and a power of attorney, many people don’t. Some think their wishes will be carried out by a family member or that they do not have enough money to justify the cost of making a will. Others avoid making a will because their personal circumstances – marriages, divorces, and accumulated children and stepchildren – just seem too complex to unravel. However, if you die without a will, trying to figure out who gets what, and when, can be a mess. And your estate may end up paying more in fees and taxes than it should, leaving less for your loved ones. Partnered? Have your wills drawn up together so that they reflect an integrated estate plan. Review and update your will every three or four years, especially when family circumstances change (weddings, divorces, births, and deaths all result in changes in family structure), your financial circumstances change, new legislation is implemented, or you change your province or country of residence. Financial fitness isn’t achieved overnight. It takes time, a sound plan, a strong commitment and, perhaps, a financial coach. If you are serious about taking control of your finances and about your independence, you too can become financially fit. Believe in yourself and in your own ability to take charge. Then just do it! See you in the winner’s circle.

Do you know how to
correct an error
on your credit report? In recent months, many Canadians individuals have spotted errors on their credit reports, which can give lenders the wrong impression or can be a sign of fraud. Consumers have a right to dispute any information they believe is wrong. If you have identified an error, you can approach Canada’s two major credit reporting agencies, Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada. FCAC also suggests that you: • support your case by gathering receipts, statements or other documents related to your credit accounts • use Equifax Canada’s and TransUnion Canada’s forms for correcting errors and updating information • contact the lender to speed up the process yourself – you can ask the lender to verify its files and provide the credit reporting agencies with updated information • escalate your case to someone at a higher level if you are not satisfied with the results of the investigation
A
credit report is a record of your past and present use of credit and loans. It can mean the difference between getting approved or refused when you apply for a credit card, a mortgage, or other loans. TheRentersGuide.ca The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) urges Canadians to order their credit report at least once a year and to review it TheRentersGuide.ca carefully.
• add a consumer statement to your credit report. Consumers have a right to add a brief statement to their credit reports (approximately 100 to 200 words). It lets lenders and others who review your credit report know what your view is, and lenders may consider it when they make their decisions. By visiting itpaystoknow.gc.ca, consumers can access useful tips to help them order and TheRentersGuide.ca understand their credit report, correct any errors and maintain a credit report that accurately reflects their financial history and reality..

renters’ help
Renting a
furnished apartment
F i c b r l i
By Jane Herman
T
here are numerous reasons why one would need furnished accommodations, especially short term. Many lifestyles and jobs require temporary relocation, and the labour and expense of setting up shop and moving at great frequency just doesn’t make sense. Sometimes it’s a result of a change TheRentersGuide.ca in marital status, while many new immigrants find it prudent to take short-term accommodations until they acclimatize to the TheRentersGuide.ca city, and would rather take something short term while looking for the perfect permanent new home.

renters’ help Though similar in accommodation, price is the biggest difference between a furnished apartment and a hotel. Another major difference is that hotel rooms do not have full kitchens and in-suite laundry. Depending on the length of your stay, not having a kitchen could be a major inconvenience that would likely add considerable expense to your food budget. In addition, some furnished apartments have special amenities such as housekeeping, concierge services, onpremises spa and underground parking, conference and meeting rooms and fitness facilities.
Furnished apartments can be found in various types of buildings – from a condominium hotel to a luxury apartment building that also contains tenants on regular leases. Several of the larger landlords have furnished suites available in some of their buildings.
Apartment Association.“If no lease is signed, the agreement is simply month to month with 60 days notice to terminate required by the tenant.”But if a tenancy is week to week, the terms for ending a tenancy and giving notice is reduced to 28 days – so get it in writing.
Depending on the owner/landlord or company you are renting from, the unit can be rented on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. While there is no tax (HST) on rent in Ontario, a short-term rental accommodation (less than one year) would be subject to HST since it is similar to a hotel.
With a furnished rental you should expect all utilities – including electricity, heat, water, telephone and cable TV – to be included. Most providers also include Internet. The kitchen should have all the basic tools to prepare meals, from dishware and cookware to appliances. The bathroom should include towels, an ironing board, and hopefully at least a complimentary bar of soap and roll of toilet paper. The bedroom should include a bed, bedding and furniture. Standard furniture throughout the unit should include a couch, desk, table for eating, chairs, TV and phone. There may also be in-suite laundry.
It’s best to discuss the terms of your “lease” or short-term rental agreement with the lessor before you move in. While a lease is not required when TheRentersGuide.ca renting for less than one year,“It is always preferable,”says Brad Butt, former president of the Greater Toronto
If your needs are temporary or you have a specific and finite time period to rent, you may even be able to find a sublet, in which case you’d take over a permanent resident’s apartment for the stated duration, use their belongings and then return the space to them at the end of the agreed-upon period. People often leave for short durations, whether for school or travel, to do an out-of-town residency or other personal reasons, and don’t want to give up their apartment but would rather not pay full rent for an empty apartment, especially if they’re also going to be paying for lodgings in their temporary location. While the selection of furnished apartments will never be as choice as regular, unfurnished long-term apartments, and you may find the same apartment costs a little more to rent short term than it would on a lease, there’s sure to be something to fulfill your needs.

safety
Make your hoMe
safe for children 1. Install covers on electrical outlets within reach of little fingers. Children are often drawn to electrical outlets. Avoid electric shock by inserting covers into outlets or installing safety plates. Some versions close automatically after a plug is pulled out. 2. Use childproof doorknob covers and cupboard locks. No matter how thoroughly you childproof, there will always be hazards in your cupboards and behind closed doors. Purchase child-proof doorknob covers and cupboard locks to secure dangerous materials. These locks are easily maneuvered by adults, but remain a mystery for most developing minds.
W
hether you are bringing home your new baby or preparing for guests with young children: safety is of the utmost importance. Hazardous household items may be easily overlooked by an adult but could spark a child’s curiosity and have tragic consequences. “Start by seeing your home from a child’s point of view,” says Carla Bouchard, a broker with Royal TheRentersGuide.ca LePage Metro. “Get low and have a look around from knee level. The hidden dangers will soon become apparent.” Bouchard recommends these tips for childproofing your home: TheRentersGuide.ca
3. Install a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless, and tasteless and is toxic when encountered in high concentrations. The respiratory system of a child is significantly less capable than that of an adult. By installing a carbon monoxide detector you ensure that you are made aware of the presence of CO levels in your home before they present a real danger. Household injuries are among the top reasons children under three are taken to the emergency room. Enjoy peace of mind by doing your due diligence to ensure children in TheRentersGuide.ca your home remain safe. Find more information on home safety at www. royallepage.ca. NC

the
spring h.O.p.e. fOOd drive On April 23 open your door, your heart – and your pantry – Let’s make this one the biggest one ever! drive to keep shelves stocked and bellies full. According to Gail Nyberg, executive director of the Daily Bread Food Bank, this food drive is one of the most important because of its timing.“It’s a time of year when the shelves are depleting,” she says.“The infusion of food restocks our shelves.” The most needed items are the staples: rice, peanut butter, tins of fish, lentils, cereal – anything with good, substantial nutritious value. There is also always great need for baby food and products. Do what you can, even if it’s just a single item sitting at the back of your shelf that you know isn’t going to be used. And if your building isn’t participating, you can still make a donation directly to your local food bank.
i
t’s spring, and the Food Banks shelves sure could use some restocking. Buy an extra tin of tuna, box of cereal and stock up on a few extra canned veggies, then sift through your pantry for extra jars of food to help out. Apartment associations across the province are making it easy for you to do your part by collecting donations on April 23th in the 13th Annual Spring HOPE Food Drive. HOPE stands for Housing Owners and People Everywhere, a real sense of a community looking after each other.
Thousands of residents in buildings across Ontario will have collectors coming through from 6.30 to 9 pm on April 23th. The lovely thing is that food stays within the community where it’s collected so residents should feel good that they’ll be TheRentersGuide.ca supporting neighbours. Hunger can affect anyone in need – it doesn’t discriminate by age, background or neighbourhood. In the GTA alone there close to 1,000 buildings participating in this year’s Spring Food Drive, which will help stock The Daily Bread Food Bank, North York Harvest

“The food drive receives incredible support and participation is up,”says Bonnie Hoy, rental industry professional and principal of Bonnie Hoy and Associates. The Spring HOPE Food Drive actually began 13 years ago when her daughter, Beverlee Hoy, recognized the opportunity that apartment buildings could offer. Together with partnership from the Greater Toronto Apartment Association they made it a reality! The last 12 Spring HOPE Food Drives have been such a success that the inspiration has spread. This year the British Columbia Apartment Owners and Managers Association (BCAOMA) is following the example of Ontario regional apartment associations and taking part in the Spring HOPE Food Drive in support of the Greater Vancouver FoodTheRentersGuide.ca Bank Society. Next year should see the Spring HOPE Food Drive go national, with interest in participation from the prairies and the east coast!

Investing strategies to live life
more richly
W
ith tax season underway, many Canadians are reevaluating their RRSPs and investments and wondering what options work best for them.
While more than half of Canadians have a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), many are unsure of what investments to hold in it or what is appropriate for their particular life stage. For example, people in their 20s can afford to have a more aggressive investment approach, while those closing in on retirement may want to be more conservative to protect their nest egg. “Finding the money for your RRSP is the first step to long-term savings, but knowing what to invest in, when to invest, and how to invest are just as critical,” explains Robert Armstrong, vice president of managed solutions and registered plans strategy with BMO Investments Inc. “Personal investing success largely depends on how well your portfolio fits with your short- and long-term goals; TheRentersGuide.ca that’s why it’s important to ensure that your risk tolerance aligns closely with your age and life stage.” BMO SelectClass Portfolios specifically TheRentersGuide.ca
address investors’ risk tolerance, whether conservative, bold or somewhere in between. With one investment decision, investors can access a range of mutual funds that cross asset class, sector and region. When an investment solution is properly diversified, it offers smoother returns over the life of the investment. This type of portfolio design can give investors confidence that they are on track to achieving their goals, such as being financially prepared for retirement. Investors can visit a BMO Bank of Montreal branch and speak to a financial professional about mapping out their financial goals, TheRentersGuide.ca gauging their risk tolerance and focusing on the mutual funds that are most suitable for their individual circumstances.

Take a test before you paint
P
aint is the best way to bring new life and style into your home, but sometimes finding the perfect colour can be a challenge. It can be overwhelming to go into a paint store and see an array of paint chips in a sea of colours – even if you think you know the colour you want. We’ve all had that experience where we’ve seen the “perfect” colour in a magazine or on television, only to get it home and find it looks different in our space. Often, landing on the right colour is all about the lighting. While paint TheRentersGuide.ca formulas remain consistent, the combination of natural and ambient lighting in each room will cause the colour to look different on the wall. TheRentersGuide.ca
“The trick is to bring home a few tester cans in various shades of the same colour to see how it looks in your space,” says blogger Jennifer Flores of Rambling Renovators.“The paint may look great in the store, but in your own home with the mix of natural and electric light the colour may be completely different.” Flores cites PARA Paints’ various shades of white from the bright white of Coconut Sugar (PF60) to the warmer White Chocolate (PF27) to cool, crisp Princess Cut (PF57) as each bringing a different energy to a room. Wall paint will also look different when it’s wet and will often dry to a lighter shade so having a test patch that dries completely is the best way to be sure. Tips for Paint Perfection • Flat or matte finish will absorb light and hide imperfections - Best used in bedrooms, dining or living rooms • Semi-gloss or high-gloss reflects light and is best used on perfectly smooth surfaces - Best used on trim and doors, and is not recommended for walls • Bring tester cans home and test patches of each on wall • Natural and electric light can impact colour so be TheRentersGuide.ca sure you see your paint test with both • Talk to an expert at your local independent paint dealer!

What to look for in an apartment By Jane Herman
A
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
W
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.

Packing Tips and List
P
Tips to make your move a little easier.
P
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.

Take a fresh look at
spinach M
any people are familiar with salads containing spinach, strawberries, and goat cheese, so why not turn this combination into a delicious sandwich as well? Sandwiches are a smart way to get all of your daily nutrients. Did you know that bread has naturally occurring vitamins and minerals similar to fruits and vegetables? Baked with simple, wholesome ingredients like those found in your kitchen, this sandwich is healthy, unique and delicious. Nothing tastes more like summer than the flavour of sweet strawberries and this nutritious sandwich, inspired by Canadian-grown fresh, seasonal produce, captures it all:
SPINACH - STRAWBERRY AND GOAT CHEESE SANDWICH PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES TOTAL TIME: 10 MINUTES INGREDIENTS: 4 Slices Dempster’s WholeGrains 12 Grain Bread, toasted 1/3 cup (80 mL) crumbled goat cheese 2 cups (500 mL) baby spinach leaves 1 cup (250 mL) sliced strawberries Balsamic vinegar to drizzle Salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS: DIVIDE goat cheese and spinach between two slices of toast. Top with berries, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. TOP with remaining slices of toast to form sandwiches. Slice in half and serve immediately. More recipes can be found online at NaturallyDempsters.ca NC

Reimagine your space
with paint this Spring
T
he winter months are dark and dreary and many of us crave colour as spring awakens. The least expensive way to brighten up the home is with a simple can of paint. A fresh coat, a bright accent wall or a new paint treatment – all of these can help us physically and psychologically brush out winter and welcome spring.

The daunting task of selecting a colour scheme without the help of a professional designer can be overwhelming. More paint companies are going that extra step to offer consumers tools to help them make coordinated choices. For the tech-savvy DIY-er, there are mobile apps which can help with “visioning” a room. For those who are a little more low-fi and enjoy a trip to the local paint dealer, Canadian-based Para Paints has recently launched its ColourSquare tool as part of its 2013 Colour Forecast Palette. The tool is a simple cut out, designed to help even the most inexperienced decorator choose the right palette of complementary hues. With the only full-size chips on the market, Para is making decorator choices easier than ever.

One trick that designers often use to develop a room’s colour scheme is to start with a piece of art, or fabric and use that as the jumping-off point. While some may want bold colours on their walls, others may choose to bring a neutral room to life with the help of a bright accent wall, or pops of colour in accent pillows, rugs and art. Keep in mind that the paint colour you select will set the mood of the room. However, at theTheRentersGuide.ca end of the day no one knows your design preferences better than you – so have fun, take chances and remember if it doesn’t work out you can always repaint it! NC

designer tricks for the do-it-yourselfer
Ever watch those tV design I shows and wonder how to replicate the look in your own home?
TheRentersGuide.ca
TheRentersGuide.ca
t’s easy to incorporate designer tricks into your space, no matter the style or existing dÊcor. Focus on adding layers of colour and texture, and notice how hues flow from room to room to create a cohesive design. Choosing coordinating colours is easy when youTheRentersGuide.ca have the right guide. Look for colour palette cards that group colours by design themes to incorporate a favorite style, from

traditional to rustic to contemporary. Then draw these hues into all elements of the room, including flooring, fabrics and light fixtures. For example, the HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams line of interior paints and supplies features eight designer-inspired colour collections - each with 20 colours that work well together, no matter how many or how few are selected - along with expert design tips to help do-it-yourselfers create harmonious room-to-room colour transitions. “Many homes today have open floor plans that require close attention to how colours flow between spaces,” says Jackie Jordan, director of colour marketing for Sherwin-Williams. “Our collections are designed to take the guesswork out of coordinating colours, and to give consumers the confidence and creative spark to find their personal colour style.”
Pull together a well-designed home by taking cues from the overall colour palette to add decorative accessories. For example, a spicy orange vase on the dining room table can play off a bold accent wall in the kitchen. Or update the look of furniture with a glossy coat of paint. Personalize with family treasures and modern, metallic or glass finishes for an eclectic, yet timeless look. Designers aren’t afraid to make a statement with a signature space. Why not play on the high-impact contrast of black and white in a foyer or infuse an electric jolt of pink in a master bath? There are no wrong choices, because colour is personal – and doesn’t have to be permanent.
Prime time design
decor by enhancing the warmth and beauty of a room. To liven up a space, try layering a vibrant area rug over a hard-surface floor or a neutral carpet – it’s easy to change as design preferences evolve. Looking for flooring that fits your personal design style? The HGTV HOME Flooring by Shaw collection makes floor shopping simple with displays that include how-to tips and trend information. Choose from 20 unique area rugs featuring transitional and modern patterns. Try these designer tricks to bring a dramatic new look to any home. For more design inspiration and decorating advice, visit sherwinwilliams.com/hgtvhome and www. shawfloors.com/HGTV. ARA
Another popular design technique is to turn flooring into a flexible decorating element. Flooring can significantly impact a home’s overall

Decorating
your rental space Here are some tips for renters from rental guru Jodi Gilmour
TheRentersGuide.ca
TheRentersGuide.ca
❖
When decorating small spaces, you don’t necessarily have to go with pint-sized furniture. Just pare down the number of pieces.
❖
Make sure there’s balance and create interest by drawing the eye to varying levels throughout the space. Multi-purpose pieces go a long way.
❖
One of the quickest ways to change the look of a rental, aside from paint, is to change the lighting. Invest in new light fixtures and take them with you when you leave.
❖
When decorating on a budget, try to look at old items in a new way. A desk can become a buffet table, and who knows ,maybe an old door would make a great headboard!
❖
Never underestimate the power of a coat of paint! Paint a tree stump in a bold hue to create a cool side table or stool.
❖
Walk through a second-hand store with a mind to breathe new life into an old piece of furniture; try using two tones of your favourite colour.
❖
To create a gallery wall you have to start with a commitment; your frames should either match, but vary in size or they can be mismatched but uniform in size. Oh, and make a choice; black and white or colour for the entire collection.
❖
Collections are a starting point for your accent pieces and carry themes on in other ways. If you collect bird figurines, find a ‘birdie’ pillow to complete the look.
❖
We improved a kitchen for a budding chef by capping inexpensive bookshelves with a slab of granite we found in the sale section at one of our suppliers. Instant island! Widely recognized for her professionalism, resources, and winning charm, Jodi Gilmour helped many into new rentals when she hosted HGTV’s hit series For Rent. She was also a featured contributor on Marriage Under TheRentersGuide.ca Construction. Her experience managing one of Canada’s largest and most successful RE/MAX franchises sets her apart from the competition. Jodi’s says she’s committed to improving their quality of life.

How to make moving
easier on your kids
W TheRentersGuide.ca
TheRentersGuide.ca
hen adults decide to move, it’s often to pursue an exciting opportunity or discover a new place. But for children, moving can be much harder TheRentersGuide.ca to understand, as often they’ve only known one place as home. TheRentersGuide.ca
a
like favorite toys, books or stuffed animals. Have the movers pack these boxes last so they are the first thing that is unloaded when you arrive. If you are moving a long distance, have each child pack another bag with items to keep them entertained during the trip. • Form a moving team. Creating roles for your older children so they can help you move can make your move go quickly and smoothly. If possible, arrange for somebody to watch your younger children so you can focus on moving tasks. Hiring movers can also help take some of the pressure off you so you can tend to your children. Your younger children may also be thrilled by the chance to see the moving truck up close, so take the time to show them. • Help them feel at home. Showing your children new parks and other attractions in your new community will help them feel excited about their new home. Plan ahead to get them enrolled in activities with other children so they can quickly make new friends. However, be sure to explain to them that making new friends takes time, so they aren’t discouraged if it doesn’t happen for them right away. Communicate with their teachers to see if there’s anything special you can do to help your children feel more comfortable at school.
As you travel through adulthood, the unknown becomes more alluring, but it’s because you’ve been through major life changes before. That’s why it’s important to take some steps to make this major transition easier on your kids. Here are some tips from the moving experts at Penske truck rental for helping your children adapt to a new place, along with some practical moving advice for families:
By doing the little things to help your children cope with the tough parts of moving, you’ll put them in a position to acclimate themselves to their new home quickly and easily. For more helpful moving tips, visit www.pensketruckrental.com.
• Open a line of honest communication. It can be hard to tell your kids that they’ll be moving, but making sure that they know they can talk about how they’re feeling about the move is important. Try to keep the conversation positive by telling them about all the fun things they’ll be able to do in their new home, but acknowledge that they’ll feel some sadness about leaving their old one. • Help them say goodbye. Organize a going-away party for your children and their friends, and work with the parents of their friends to gather contact information so they can keep in touch after you move. • Take inventory. Take a minute with each child to go through toys and clothes to see what can be donated. By letting them help with these decisions, you can eliminate any angst that might come if they realize something they wanted was left behind when you get to your new home. TheRentersGuide.ca • Pack a first-day box. Have each child pack a box of things that they will want the first day you move into your new home,

Fruits and vegetables make you more attractive You are what you eat. Fruits and vegetables have properties that will, in essence, make you more attractive. along with the health benefits of eating fresh produce, you may notice that your skin has that bright glow, making you more attractive to others. To reap the beauty benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables, stick with ones that are high in carotenoids. On the Reboot with Joe website (rebootwithjoe.com), juicing experts tell us that,“carotenoids are made by the plant and once we have ingested these nutrients, they travel into the bloodstream and are distributed into the skin and other organs. These nutrients concentrate in the skin, giving us a lovely skin tone and offer protection from the damaging effects of UV radiation.”
TheRentersGuide.ca
Fruits and vegetables that contain carotenoids including beta-carotenes and lycopenes, the anti-oxidants credited with putting a glow on the skin, are: carrots,
Juicing extracts key nutrients from the vegetables and fruit into an easy-toconsume form, making them easy to absorb. If you need some guidance on purchasing the equipment, retailers point to the popular Breville Juice Fountain Plus. It’s a dual-speed juicer with a specialized disc that extracts more nutrients than other choices. Along with increasing your natural glow, juicing and consuming more carotenoids will also bring benefits to your vision health, may prevent cataracts, support a healthy immune system, keep mucus TheRentersGuide.ca

Colour zoning is a great painting technique where you incorporate colour punches in your décor through varyingsized accent “zones,” stripes, or shapes on a wall.

Take into consideration the size of the space and placement of the furniture when planning your colour zoning design. You don’t want the design element to be too small or too big in proportion to the space.
Why is it so popular? Paint is easy to change and one of the most cost-effective ways to bring a colour trend into a room. You can totally change the mood of a room with punches of bright colours, and zoning is a fun way to incorporate those punches. Whether you want to have fun

You can create horizontal movement by painting the base of a wall a different colour, for example. Or extend the line of a

After measuring your shape on the wall, draw it very lightly with a pencil.
Before painting, apply painter’s tape to the lines if they’re straight. If using curved lines, it’s best to use a stencil.
Paint carefully within the lines of your shape. For a clean edge, remove the painter’s tape or stencil immediately after painting while the wall is still a little wet. More information and tips on the latest colour trends is available at www.sico.ca.

Planking is a great way to impress your guests Cooking meat or seafood
on a wooden plank is sure to get great results and wow your dinner guests! The process is just as simple as smoking. Just soak the plank in water, juice, or beer for an hour and pat it dry. Place the seasoned meat on the plank and then onto a medium-low temperature grill. Cook it to its desired doneness, and serve. It’s that simple. GrillPro offers cedar, maple and alder grilling planks. Cedar is ideal for salmon but don’t be afraid to try other meats on it. Pork goes great on a maple plank and lamb is ideal for alder. Experiment with these ideas and you will soon discover that smoking can be good for you…your food that is!

Retirement reality check
for baby boomers by sarah Kingdon
A
re you dreaming of an early retirement full of travel, golfing and more time at the cottage? If so, you may want to meet with your financial advisor to see if it can become a reality.
TheRentersGuide.ca
“Retirement has been redefined because people are living longer and many have been overspending in this consumer-driven economy,” says Stephen Reichenfeld, a wealth counsellor at Fiduciary Trust Company of Canada. If you have a great deal of expenses like a lot of debt or huge credit card bills, it’s probably best to delay retirement and start saving more, he explains. Make lifestyle adjustments. Review your spending habits and make some hard decisions with your advisor’s help. Would it be possible to downsize now that your children have moved out? Do you really need two cars? Would it be possible to delay that European dream trip? Seek financial advice from someone who can see the big picture and ensure that your plan will help guarantee a long and successful retirement. More information on retirement planning is available on websites such as www. fiduciarytrust.ca. NC TheRentersGuide.ca
