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.

ello balcony! It’s been a long winter but it’s nice to have you back. Balconies are one of those amazing things about apartments. I don’t want to hear about decks (too much space) Juliet windows (not enough space) or backyards (oh the maintenance!). Balconies are a special piece of property – low maintenance and little in the way of investment for such a huge return. They’re your own little piece of paradise, and come spring they finally come back into your life. They’re just so perfect. All you really need is a chair or a blanket to cozy up on – with your morning coffee or an evening tea. It’s an ideal way to take in your view, which extends to much more than what you get through the window. The balcony is the perfect place for a romantic evening of stargazing, and a great lifestyle addition for enjoying out-of-doors for those that are less mobile. It’s always a breath of fresh air. The only thing a balcony is definitely not, is a storage space. It’s a shame to waste that piece of real estate on stuff that could best be put elsewhere, from bikes to luggage and furniture. If you’ve been neglecting your balcony, get out there and give it a little TLC, perhaps a chaise and a few planters and find out for yourself how amazing your personal outdoor haven can be! With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place, balcony and all. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Yonge & Eglinton the downtown of mid-town b y i va n s a n d o va l
W
hen you want the best of city living without being in the thick of it you’d be well-advised to try mid-town on for size. All of the urban style, convenience and vibrancy – but with more breathing room. Streets are wide. Low-, mid- and high-rise apartments are intermingled with single family homes along side streets that remain quiet and quaint. Parks, schools, clubs and community facilities are just as much a draw as the upscale restaurants, busy cafés, upscale shopping and nightlife. Yonge and Eglinton is the downtown of TheRentersGuide.ca Toronto’s midtown. Class, sophistication and independence easily define this neighbourhood. The area has turned into a renter’s haven with apartment buildings of all sizes lined up one after another on gorgeous side streets like Erskine, Broadway and Roehampton. The properties rest on immaculately kept grounds and lovely streets. TheRentersGuide.ca 22G
THE AREA North Toronto is truly midtown, with suburbia 15 minutes north and the downtown core located 15 minutes south. The community relies heavily on the Yonge Subway line, and with the Sheppard line creating east and west access so conveniently, residents have the ability to get almost anywhere in the city rather quickly and with the limited need for a vehicle. At the heart of North Toronto lies the intersection of Yonge and Eglinton – a TheRentersGuide.ca community unto itself. The area has a youthful vibrancy – evident in the
TheRentersGuide.ca
plethora of social hotspots, from cafés to grills to sushi bars to pubs to spas to diners to eateries to lounges and theatres. You never run out of things to do, day or night! The area definitely offers choice whether it’s a bustling group environment or a quiet spot for date night. The centrally located move theatres mean you’ll never miss the next new release.
Eglinton Centre offers name brand
The area also offers a business hub so that it’s possible to live, work and play all in the same neighbourhood. While the area centring around Yonge and Eglinton enjoys the hustle and bustle, the community also enjoys Mount Pleasant to the east and Avenue Road to the west, which have a similar ambiance, just with more of a local population. These quieter areas also include overhanging trees and large green spaces like Sherwood Park, Eglinton Park and the Beltline Park where the types of amenities like an outdoor pool, playground, sports fields and walking and biking trails give you some great options for getting into the sunshine and enjoying the outdoors on your free time.

The Lost Art of Saving If you aren’t saving, you’re asking for trouble B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade
Despite all media warnings, financial planners’ tut-tutting and the popularity of books such as David Chilton’s The Wealthy Barber which made its fame telling a simple story – “Save 10 per cent” – we are a spendthrift bunch. We haven’t always been. We saved ten per cent or more for twenty years, from 1973 to 1993* - more than enough time to have established the habit. Our savings rate reaching a peak of 18.5 per cent in 1982 (In our enthusiasm, did we overdo a good thing?), we bounced around the ten per cent mark for about a decade, and then in 1993 we began our great slide. By 1999 we’d hit a low of 3.6 per cent and in April of 2007, we finally made it into negative territory: our savings rate was -1.4 per cent. Yes, we were officially spending more money than we made. Negative 1.4 per cent is a long way off ten per cent, and an even longer way off the RRSP contribution limit calculation, which is based on putting aside 18 per cent of earned income. You could blame our higher taxes and you’d be somewhat justified. Taxes as a TheRentersGuide.ca percentage of our total incomes rose from 18.43 per cent in 1973 to 23.9 per cent in 1999. But you would also have to take a close look at our spending habits. What we spend on goods and services has gone TheRentersGuide.ca up steadily since 1982. And we’ve availed
32G
ourselves of more credit. Liabilities - what we spend on our credit cards, loans, mortgages and the like – rose from .67 per cent of our annual income in 1982 to over 4.9 per cent in 1999. Consumer credit – the money we borrow to feed our passion to consume stuff – makes up a big chunk of that as it rose from -.06 per cent in 1982 to 1.34 per cent in 1999. And according to a report entitled Canadian Economy: Personal Savings Rate put out by Industry Canada, in 1998 total accumulated debt per household in Canada was equal to 114 per cent of after tax income. Whew! How could we possibly save anything when we’re spending more than we’re making servicing our debt? These figures seem to fly in the face of most of the predictions for how the baby boomers will behave as they age. In Boom Bust and Echo, David Foot asserted:“When you are young, you are a borrower. In your 40’s and 50’s, you are trying to build a nest egg for retirement.” Financial advisors are standing by, holding their breaths, waiting for the
money to come pouring in as boomers hit their peak earning years. Yet since 1993 as we watched the first of the baby boomers turn the corner to middle age, Canada savings rate has plummeted despite a healthy economy, low inflation and more being written about money than every before in history. So why aren’t we saving? It really doesn’t matter what reason we give – too much debt, high cost of living, taxes – the real reason we aren’t saving is because we’ve forgotten how important it is to save. Perhaps the gloomiest part of the savings picture is the legacy we are leaving our children. Not only are we teaching them how to be avid consumers: spending their money on everything from trading cards at $5 a pop to horrendously expensive video gaming toys; we are, by omission, teaching them not to save. And we’re willing to allow credit purveyors to entice our children into a world of debt with nary a lesson on how to keep a balanced financial picture. For while credit card companies wouldn’t dream of issuing a credit card without an adult meeting significant credit criteria - they’d have to have a job, for example - students in university are assaulted by easy credit, making it easy for them to dig debt ditches they must subsequently struggle out of.
TheRentersGuide.ca
Why save Saving gives us a sense of security and mastery over our finances. As our
TheRentersGuide.ca
renter’shelp savings grow – be they in a run-ofthe-mill savings account or invested in equities - we can take pride in our sense of discipline and increased ability to weather a storm. The more we’ve accumulated in savings, the harder those savings work for us. It can be truly rewarding to see substantial sums of money generated solely by our savings. Saving takes us closer to our goals. It also creates a strong sense of independence by putting us squarely in a position of control. We have the resources to cover unexpected expenses without incurring debt at high rates of interest. We have the flexibility to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. We can change jobs, change homes, change countries without the sense of anxiety that comes from existing paycheque to paycheque. How to save This is perhaps the area in which we are the most confused. If we sock away $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 a year in a retirement savings plan, we’re doing a great job of saving, right? Well, not exactly. If we had to borrow the money to make that RRSP contribution, we won’t actually have saved a nickel until that loan is paid off. And if we stuck $2,500 away in an RESP for junior and then promptly upped our line of credit balance by a similar amount, we haven’t saved a cent. People playing games – stealing from Peter to pay Paul. But they not saving. To actually save a dollar you have to take that dollar out of your cash flow. Putting it in a GIC and then spending it on a credit card doesn’t count. You must make the commitment that current expenditures will not exceed current income. You’ve got to spend less money than you make. The you-don’t-have-to-think-about-it way of saving is to use an automatic debit from your chequing account to your savings account, so the temptation to spend the money is removed. Yes, it’s a bit of a head-game to trick yourself into TheRentersGuide.ca saving. But hey, if it works! Not everyone is a born saver, after all. Some people must play the game to achieve their goals.
Back to David Chilton’s The Wealthy Barber. The advice was sound in this short-but-sweet bestseller. Basically it boiled down to pay yourself first; put savings in a separate account; and be consistent. If you wait to see what’s left over after your expenses you’ll be justified in not saving because you won’t have much left. That’s the way it is with money. Smart savers do it the other way around. The take the money they want to save and hide it before they can spend it. Sure it may mean cutting back a little, but that usually doesn’t hurt as much as most people think it will. This all sounds like pretty basic information, nowhere near as exciting as a discussion of the stock market, technical analysis or long-term projections for the economy. But as simple a concept as saving appears to be, it’s the one that is being missed. And if you’re not talking about saving at home, there’s little to motivate your child to develop this lifelong habit. So start talking about it. Teaching children to save One of the most effective ways of motivating a child to get into the savings habit is with a savings-matching program.
You offer to match every dollar your child saves within a specific period of time with a dollar of your own.“Molly, here’s the deal. If you can save sixty dollars by the end of the summer, I’ll match that amount so you can begin investing.” If watching your money grow in a savings or investment account doesn’t turn you on you’ll have to find some other motivation for saving. How about this: Just for one moment be a pessimist. What if you lost your job, got sick or smashed up your car? Those are all good reasons to save. So is putting aside enough so you don’t have to depend on anyone else – be it the government or your children - to take care of you when days of heading into the mines are over. *All figures based on Statistics Canada National Economic and Financial Accounts unless otherwise

DANIELS This spring Daniels unveils exciting sequel to NY Place IN 2011, THE DANIELS CORPORATION INTRODUCED A VERY UNIQUE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM IN TORONTO, with their Rent-To-Own Program at the wildly successful NY Place Boutique Condominiums within Daniels’ award-winning NY Towers community at Bayview and Sheppard. The response was overwhelming, and the suites were snapped up in record time! The Rent-To-Own Program was such a phenomenal success that Daniels decided to bring it back this spring with NY2 Condominiums – giving those who did not get an opportunity to buy at NY Place, a second chance to be first! With NY2 Condominiums already under construction and suites starting from the low $200,000s or just $1,489 per month under the RentTo-Own Program, those who are interested in taking advantage of this innovative homeownership program will want to act quickly – this opportunity will only be available for a limited number of suites and judging by the overwhelming response to date, they are sure to go fast! Daniels’ exclusive Rent-To-Own Program offers an easy way for first-time buyers to enter the new home marketplace, and it is the only program of its kind in Toronto today. “Purchasing a new home is one of the biggest and most exciting decisions you will ever make, and at Daniels, we work hard to create programs that help make the dream of homeownership more attainable”, says Dominic Tompa, Broker of Record for City Life Realty Ltd. “We are really excited about NY2 and the Rent-To-Own Program because it will help make it easier for people to get into
homeownership by allowing them to accumulate a significant portion of their down payment while living in their new home. For many this is the extra help they need to be able to enter into the new home market place and realize their dream of homeownership”. The Rent-To-Own Program at NY2 has been designed to make purchasing as easy as one, two, three. Here’s how it works: 1) Choose a suite that best fits your lifestyle needs. Sign an Agreement of Purchase and Sale and begin accumulating your down payment through Daniels’ Gradual Deposit Payment Plan. 2) When you move into your new home, a portion of your monthly rent, along with the total amount accumulated through Daniels’ Gradual Deposit Payment Plan, will be credited towards your five per cent down payment. 3) After one year, all you will have to do is top off your five per cent down payment for your closing… It’s that easy! In addition to a Rent-To-Own Program, residents will be able to enjoy fantastic amenities within their new home at NY2, including a Wi-Fi café lounge, a fullyequipped and professionally designed fitness room, a roof top party room great for entertaining both indoor and out, and outdoor gardening plots. Plus it will offer 5,000 sq. ft. of retail space on the ground level. NY2 is simply “2 Good 2 Miss!” As the final condominium in Daniels’ NY Towers Community, NY2 carries Daniels’ long-standing tradition of distinctively eclectic architecture in this coveted
locale. Situated at the southwest corner of Sheppard Ave. E. and Rean Dr., NY2 will inject striking modern lines with its exterior of brick, glass and sleek window design. Residents will enjoy the serenity of surrounding NY Towers community as well as the convenience of being just steps to the TTC and Bayview Village Shopping Centre. In addition, Highways 401, 404 and the Don Valley Parkway are just moments away along with entertainment venues, great restaurants, parks and more. NY2 is being built to Daniels Green Standard, designed to reduce overall energy consumption, conserve materials and resources and provide a healthier indoor air quality. Suites will have outstanding features and finishes including nine foot ceiling heights, laminate flooring, granite kitchen countertops and stainless steel appliances. The Daniels Corporation (www. danielshomes.ca) is one of Canada’s preeminent builder/developers with a reputation for quality and integrity in all forms of residential construction. Named the Tarion Warranty Corporation’s 2012 High Rise Builder of the Year and the recipient of the 2012 Toronto Arts and Business Award presented by the Toronto Arts Foundation, Daniels has built more than 23,000 homes throughout the GTA. NY2 is another example of Daniels’ out-of-the-box thinking that makes it possible for people to enter the new home marketplace. And remember, this is your final opportunity to own a brand new home in Daniels’ NY Towers community. For more information on

Five ways
to make moving a cleaner, Greener process By Dan Hopkins
P
rotecting the environment is an important concern for consumers and businesses alike, but many don’t realize that moving can have a positive impact on the environment. Waste caused by the moving process not only stems from packing supplies, but also from the waste accumulated over many years within a home or office. Both sources can be extremely taxing on the environment if not properly managed. Here are some suggestions on how to make your move a cleaner, Greener process:
1
Plan ahead: Waiting until the last minute to prepare for a move often makes environmental concerns an afterthought. Start early so you have the extra time TheRentersGuide.ca to sort through recyclable items – in your apartment and in storage – for delivery to recycling depots prior to moving day. Typically your storage contains the highest
TheRentersGuide.ca 58G
concentration of recyclable waste, so start the sorting process there first. Consider holding a garage sale or donating gently used but no longer wanted items to a charity rather than have them end up in a landfill site.
2 3 4
Research: Survey local recycling options to find the most convenient solution for recyclables. Many cities offer curbside pick-up or “sort and drop” depots. Visit earth911.com for a list of local organizations that can dispose of all types of recyclable materials. Organize: Prepare recyclables by organizing into categories: plastic, glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard, etc. Look up the requirements of the local recycler to see if there are any additional steps needed to prepare recyclables beforehand. Care for hazardous material: As you clean in preparation to move, be conscientious about the kinds of materials being packed to move with you and which items are to be disposed. Toxic items, such as paint, batteries, house cleaning products, automobile
oils, pesticides and fertilizers are dangerous and cannot be transported in the back of a commercial moving truck. Also consider these items cannot be thrown-out with your regular garbage. Look up the specialized recycling depots for toxic products in your city.
5
Reuse: Do not throw away used moving boxes when the move is complete. A well-made corrugated box is great for storage or may be reused for a future move. Contact local schools or charity organizations, such as women’s shelters, scout troops, and food banks to ask if they need boxes to redistribute donated items. Donating gently used boxes not only reduces waste, but can be a big help in support of a good cause.

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

“While the task might sound overwhelming at first to parents, it’s the simple and imaginative activities that are the blocks literacy success and early childhood development are built on,” said David Booth, national literacy expert, children’s author and professor emeritus at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at University of Toronto.“Let’s Get Ready for Reading’s friendly, encouraging and accessible approach empowers parents and caregivers. I’m delighted that copies can be found not only in public libraries, but will be available in literacy centres, daycares, schools and homes. This is a valuable tool that parents, caregivers and educators should always have on hand.” Toronto Public Library is the world’s busiest urban public library system. Every year, 19 million people visit branches in neighbourhoods across the city and borrow 32 million items.

To get the most current updates on what’s happening at the library, follow on Twitter @torontolibrary. The Toronto Public Library Foundation believes in the social benefits of a strong and healthy public library system. As a registered charity, the Foundation fosters relationships with people of vision to provide Toronto’s Library with improved and expanded collections, enhanced TheRentersGuide.ca programs and services, and revitalized community spaces.

Leslie Styles, foodie & travel aficionado, shares some delicious dishes found on her travels around the world.
Luscious Spinach Gratin Directions Preheat oven to 425°F. Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat and cook onion until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add flour and nutmeg and cook, stirring, another two minutes. Add cream and milk and cook, stirring, until thickened. Squeeze spinach and add to sauce, mixing to combine. Add 1/4 cup of the parmesan and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer spinach mixture to a large baking dish and sprinkle with remaining parmesan and all of the gruyere on top. Make 20 to 25 minutes until bubbling hot, and serve hot.
C
lassic creamed spinach is transformed into a luscious, rich and decadent cheesy gratin, in this quick and easy recipe for Spinach Gratin. A sexy little side dish when served in individual ramekins, and perfect as a larger casserole for hearty meals or dinner parties, this Spinach Gratin is a crowd favourite whenever I make it, and devoured by even those who avoid green vegetables. The flavour of the dish starts with chopped yellow onions sautéed in butter, and combined with simple ingredients such as chopped frozen spinach – which has been defrosted and squeezed dry – a little light cream, a touch of flour, a hint of nutmeg, some grated Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Topped with a sprinkling of grated gruyere cheese, and baked until it’s bubbling hot and the cheese has melted to a golden perfection, the spinach absorbs all of the wonderful flavours and melds into something fabulously creamy and utterly delicious. One of my all-time favourite dishes, I make this Spinach Gratin over and over again, and always look forward to the next time – as do my friends and family! Spinach Gratin ingredients Serves 6-8

The Best Reasons to
Rent By Jane Herman
W
ould you rather spend your free time seeing the latest movies or grouting your bathroom tile? Would you prefer to spend your extra money each month on unexpected furnace repairs or sock it away in TheRentersGuide.ca mutual funds? TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 108G
TheRentersGuide.ca
For reasons such as these, more and more time-pressed individuals, empty nesters, single parents and young professionals are choosing to rent. Here’s why: Hassle-Free Living When you rent, you’ll never have to call a plumber, electrician or handyman again! Renting frees you from the cost and hassle of all home maintenance and repairs. Empty-nesters can happily shed house-related chores and move closer to entertainment, restaurants and shopping, while young professionals can enjoy a simpler lifestyle and shorter commute. Affordability By renting, you’ll be able to afford to live in an area that might otherwise be out of your price range. And, unless you’re planning on staying in a house for more than five years, you risk losing money if you buy a home. Mortgages are amortized so you’re paying mostly interest in the first few years. Add in property tax, insurance, maintenance costs and the fees associated with selling the house and five years of renting can be significantly less than owning. The Rewards of Renting Renting gives you the freedom to invest your savings in stocks, mutual funds, a small business, your education, or a vacation, instead of a home. Lock in Utility Costs In most cases, you will not have to incur bills when you rent. In many apartments the cost of utilities are included in your rent. Because of fluctuating market prices, utility rates can rise dramatically. As a renter, you will not have to bear these cost increases directly. Apartment Living Offers Services When you lock yourself out of your apartment, the property manager can always let you in. Likewise, you can often count on someone being there to receive a parcel when you’re at work or away from your home. Some apartment communities include concierge services that offer everything from babysitting to housekeeping, pet care, and grocery shopping. Now that’s for me! Superior Amenities Packages Apartments have evolved, and many now offer a package of amenities and services that cannot be easily or affordably replicated in a single family home, like onsite fitness centres, swimming pools, tennis and squash courts, business centres, movie screening rooms and party facilities. Never Be Lonely! When you rent, you’ll enjoy the benefits of living in a community with friends and neighbours all around you.
TheRentersGuide.ca
Renting offers a Myriad of Lifestyles As a renter you can sample life in an urban loft, midtown highrise, or restored coach house.
Baby in Tow Choose your apartment based on the neighbourhood school, park, library or day care services that are best suited to your particular needs. Park Underground If your building includes underground parking, you’ll never have to deal with the dash to your car on cold, wet mornings! Professional Management Many of today’s owners are large public and private firms who have invested for the long term. You’ll reap such benefits as: convenient on-line leasing and maintenance requests; 60-day no risk trial periods; 24 hour maintenance guarantees; resident chat facilities and rent-to-own programs! There is Sure to Be A Coffee shop Within Throwing Distance Wherever you choose to rent, you’ll be able to wake up and smell the coffee – now that’s the best reason of all!

WEIGH THE PROS AND CONS
of custom window shades
Q
uite early in a window dressing project a key question is likely to pop into your mind. Should you confine your choice of materials to what’s on the shelves at local retailers? Or should you search out your favourite fabric and colour and have your new window coverings custom made? I can see that the off-the-shelf approach may get the project done faster, but depending on selections available, you may still want that particular look or style and extra detail for your home.
According to Mary, a custom order carries a number of unique benefits. One is the largest possible range of fabrics and colours – exotic and unusual patterns and textures that will create a unique look in your home. In many cases, the quality will surpass a ready made blind, which means the shades will give better service over a longer time. Another is that your order will be taken by a window covering professional, who will help you achieve the look you have in mind by suggesting practical and creative options that may not have occurred to you.”
I took this question to Mary Dobson, who is a regular guest on Citytv’s Cityline, and is also spokesperson for Levolor Window Fashions in Canada.
I had the idea that a custom order would be considerably more expensive.“It’s not really a question of price,”said Mary.“Custom can cost more, but then you get more. It opens up a lot more possibilities, and could make the difference between a result that’s not as good as it could be, and one that is a complete success.”
“You’re right about the off-the-shelf approach getting the job done faster,” she replied.“Buying from the store provides instant gratification. TheRentersGuide.ca The bigger retailers will have good selections of colour, fabric and trim, and you could possibly work out the look at the store and install your shades the same day. But if you don’t see exactly what you want, then I say don’t compromise your vision, take the custom route, which, in my experience, is neither complicated or expensive.” TheRentersGuide.ca

She also suggested a visit to the Idea Centre at www.levolor.ca, where you can see the many product choices available. NC

with the latest home-fashion trends

e’ve seen decor trends come and go over the years, but according to home décor expert Karl Lohnes there are a few that have held the test of time and become classics.
to the decorating world was a nice way to ease us away from all the golden taupe
In the 1980’s natural sea grass carpeting became a classic that never went away. In the 90’s stainless steel kitchen appliances appeared on the domestic market and stabilized as long-term investments. So what recent and new decorating trends are making their way into the hall of fame to be around for the next five to 10 years? Lohnes shares his insights: TheRentersGuide.ca
to wallpaper, bedding, fabrics and carpets. Look for this pattern to calm itself
Grey: This solemn neutral was very popular in the mid 80’s; back then it was a steely blue grey and used only to achieve a modern aesthetic. Its return TheRentersGuide.ca
that we had grown so fond of. But this time around the grey is a bit warmer (think grey flannel) and is used for both traditional and modern decorating. Look for this neutral to stick around and watch it warm up a bit more to an elephant, or driftwood colour. This will be the new taupe; cooler than what we remember and looking great with off-white, gold metallics and shots of strong colour. Progressive décor companies like Hunter Douglas has included a fresh grey in its new Parkland wood blinds collection. Called Salt and Pepper, it is a mid-tone that adds layering and depth at the window. Chevron pattern: Whether you call it zigzag, herringbone or chevron, this angled linear pattern has come in and out of décor fashion for decades. Currently, the design is highlighted by contrasting coloured stripes, which add punchy patterns down by being shown more as a texture than an obvious print. Tone-on-tone is the way to go with the classic chevron pattern if you want to live with it for a while. Use it in large doses or small. To illustrate, designer Katie Leede trimmed her Provenance woven-wood shades in a tone-on-tone chevron pattern in her designer showhouse bedroom. Farmhouse style: It goes without saying that country-style decorating is still the most popular form of décor. Country has been transformed of late into “Farmhouse Chic”. This new country style allows us to mix humble, worn furnishings with a touch of industrial chic in order to make it cool again. The style can look very upscale when fancy antiques become part of the mix.

An insider’s guide to
creating a stylish and functional nursery
M
oms seem instinctively to know the importance of creating a special nursery space where they can bond, interact and love every moment with their baby. In fact, a survey from PlaytexBaby found that an overwhelming majority of moms (87 percent) agree that it’s essential to put time into making the nursery a great space for their little one.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca
Yet often times, creating a nursery can be daunting, as moms strive to ensure this space provides functionality, while also conveying a certain style. To help simplify the process, celebrity nursery designer and founder of Bratt Decor, Mary Bauer, provides expert tips to help moms get started. “Moms are spending so much time in the nursery each day, so they want to create a room that is fun and stylish, but also one that’s functional - and you can have both,” says Bauer. “By following a few simple tips when creating a nursery, moms can ensure that their journey is easy and enjoyable, and that they end up with the ideal nursery space for herself and her baby.”
Bauer’s tips include:
a
Make the most of your room size: If you have a small space, avoid using small-scale furniture. Instead, use a few normal-sized pieces, and choose TheRentersGuide.ca furniture that can do double duty - like a changer that’s a dresser, or an ottoman with a storage compartment.
a
TheRentersGuide.ca
Using soft, cool tones will also make your room feel larger. Create a convenient changing space: Ensure that your changing table is well-stocked with baby wipes, diapers and an extra set of clothes right at your finger tips, so you never have a reason to leave your baby unattended. Position your diaper pail right next to the changing table and choose a pail that makes the whole process as easy as possible. The Diaper Genie II Elite Pail offers a convenient foot pedal, allowing you to hold your child and dispose of a diaper at the same time. Make it personal: Adding personality to your decor doesn’t have to be super expensive - create your own personal touches in your nursery to make it meaningful to you. Include vintage photographs, your baby’s silver cup, framed family heirloom christening gowns, or anything else that means a lot. This gives heritage to a brand new space, and makes it all your own.
Secure your sleep haven: Whatever your budget is, don’t scrimp on the crib - it’s the place where your baby spends the most time without you and should be a safe and comfortable space. Check out the crib buying guide, safety reports and recalls through the Health Canada website – www.hc-sc.gc.ca – before making your purchase. Many models have been recalled in the last few years, and most drop-side models have been both recalled and taken off the market. It’s best to buy new, but if you’re being given a crib make sure to check that it meets today’s safety standards and hasn’t been recalled. Create a timeless feel: No one wants to redo their rooms every year with the changing trends. Keep furnishings which are the big ticket items timeless in design, and add trends with more affordable accent items like bedding and paint. For more tips and information, visit PlaytexBaby.com.

Landlords required to act
WHEN BED BUGS ARRIVE B y T ed Whi T ehead
A
nyone renting an apartment in Ontario may be wondering about the stir regarding bed bug infestations.
Certainly, these insects are undesirable to everyone concerned, including landlords and property managers. If a tenant finds bed bugs, they should notify the landlord immediately. In addition to tenants taking steps to isolate the insects and prevent them from spreading to other areas of their apartments or other units, landlords and/or property managers are required to take the necessary steps to address the situation. In fact, their responsibility begins with being proactive, and as with so many things in life, education is key. The Public Health section of the City of Toronto website (www.toronto.ca) features fact sheets on how to recognize and deal with bed bugs. All tenants should receive this information so that if an infestation begins, it can be caught in the early stages and dealt with before a major problem occurs. Approaching this problem as a team, of like-minded individuals, with the common goal of ridding an apartment building of bed bugs works to everyone’s favour. Tenants must realize that when it comes to bed bugs, property managers want them gone equally alike. When the existence of bed bugs in an apartment building is confirmed, the landlord must arrange for a professional pest management company to come in and conduct the proper techniques to eradicate the pests. This involves cooperation from the tenants affected. They have to empty shelves, drawers, closets and the like, and that takes time. Landlords have to give them a reasonable time to accomplish this task, keeping in mind that sooner is better than later. If the tenants are elderly or disabled, they should be supplied with assistance for this preparation. If family and friends are not available, the property manager will generally aid in finding someone who can lend a hand.” Landlords are expected to pay for professional extermination of bedbugs. Taking the appropriate actions to get rid of bedbugs is treated as a very serious matter. If aTheRentersGuide.ca tenant is unreasonable about cooperating with the landlord in eliminating bed bugs, the property manager can apply to Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board to request eviction. If a tenant causes undue expense such as missing an appointment for the pest control operator to come into the apartment, the landlord could apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board to request an order to charge a tenant accordingly.
Landlords would also be wise to conduct quarterly inspections after an infestation has been eliminated. Remember that no one wants bed bugs, so it very important that tenants and property managers work together as much as possible to get rid of them! For additional information on the effective control of bed bugs, visit Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/ pest/part/protect-proteger/bedbugspunaises-lit/index-eng.php. In Toronto, property managers and landlords can also contact Public Health to have inspector’s present educational seminars to tenants.

And, if you are shopping for an apartment, look for the CRBP logo. Rental buildings that have passed the stringent criteria to achieve this certification have shown that they are operated by landlords and/or property managers who keep current with evolving responsibilities as challenges such as bed bugs occur. To learn more about CRBP-certified buildings, visit crbprogram.org . Ted Whitehead is director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP), Federation of Rental-housing Providers of TheRentersGuide.ca Ontario (FRPO).

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: ________________________ 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
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 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). • 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 Tips to make your move a little easier. Packing TiPs
❏ ❏
Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.
❏
Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.
❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏
Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.
❏
Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.
❏
Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack
Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.
Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed. List the contents of the box on the side of it. Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home. Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering. Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less. Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint-Don’t pack all your books into one box!)
general moving TiPs
❏ Disconnect and bundle cords on television and stereo components. Label each cord with masking tape and a description of where to connect it.
❏ Plan and measure where you furniture will be placed in your new home. It’s helpful to draw a layout of your new home and sketch in the major furniture pieces.
❏ To save time on moving day, move your boxes from the basement, upstairs, or attic to the main floor prior to the move date. Consider carrying items from the back yard to the front yard or garage ahead of time.
❏ Keep your phone connected through moving day to stay in touch with friends, family and the moving company.

Loss Prevention
Insurance is great, but prevention is better
G
T
hey say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Think of insurance as the cure (sort of) to a number of bad things that could happen to you or your family. Yes, if you have a fire or a theft, insurance will help you pick up the pieces. But most people who have lost their homes in a fire — even those with great insurance coverage — will tell you that they would prefer if it had never happened in the first place.
Insurance gives you financial peace of mind. If you have the right coverage, no theft, fire, accident or hurricane can leave you broke. However, there are certain things that insurance cannot fix. For example: If your wedding ring or a priceless family heirloom is stolen in a break-in, insurance may cover the actual market value of the item, but the sentimental value cannot be replaced. If you suffer a fire and all your family photos are destroyed, you will feel a tremendous loss, TheRentersGuide.ca even though the photos have no monetary value. Insurers are in the business of compensating people when they suffer losses. Being so close to so many human tragedies,
TheRentersGuide.ca
insurers are passionately committed to loss prevention. They know that it is better to avoid suffering than to try to make up for it. If your home is uninhabitable for a period of time, you may need to move to a hotel or even a new, likely furnished, apartment. Some tenant’s policies will cover additional living expenses you incur during this time, such as meals (if you are in a hotel) and extra rent or room charges. Be sure to ask your insurance representative if you have this type of coverage, so that if disaster strikes you can focus on putting your life back together without worrying about the added costs. For more information talk to your insurance representative about your tenants’ insurance needs. The Insurance Bureau of Canada offers information for consumers to help make them aware of their insurance needs and assist them in understanding the types of insurance available. They are the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90 per cent of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada.

Daily success depends on the ease of a
morning routine
M
ornings in most family homes can be described as chaotic, unpredictable, and a flurry of activity to get everyone out the door and on with their day. Since the first few hours are crucial to one’s success in career and life, consider these tips to upgrade your morning routine: TheRentersGuide.ca
TheRentersGuide.ca
• Getting enough sleep the night before is the first step to an easy morning. Consider a bedtime routine chart for the family and allow children to place stickers beside completed tasks. This helps ensure children and parents are in bed on time. • Enjoy a relaxing shower before bed. The warm water assists in releasing muscle tension, putting the body in a relaxed state of mind. Make it even more luxurious. For example, a Hansgrohe Raindance S Showerpanel system offers a vertical spa experience with adjustable body sprays and spray modes which can be customized just the way you like. • Shower and blow-dry your hair the night before. Not only will this reduce time and stress in the morning, but will ensure there is ample space in the bathroom for all family members.
• Breakfast is crucial for all members of the family. Why not opt for a quick but nutritious meal of whole wheat toast with peanut butter and a banana or yogurt with granola and fruit? • Lay out clothing options for yourself and the kids the night before to avoid the age-old question,“What will I wear today?” Watch the weather forecast the night before. Avoid checking the weather on your phone or the television as part of your morning ritual. Quickly checking the night before will allow ample time and preparation should the forecast be less than favourable. With these simple and easy steps, you can TheRentersGuide.ca transform a previously chaotic routine into a seamless and enjoyable one.NC

Skip bottled juice for the benefits of all-natural
W
e all know that we’re supposed to consume seven to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables on any given day as outlined by Canada’s Food Guide. Many of us turn to bottled juice to help meet the daily intake recommendation, but we may not be getting what we think.
Many commercially bottled juices are processed and lack nutritional content, while freshly juiced fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. A lot happens in the bottling process, including heating and pasteurizing that reduces the nutritional content. Many bottled juices also have added preservatives, colour and artificial sugars. Instead, juicing a selection of fresh produce is a simple activity you can do to ensure you’re getting a sufficient amount. Reliable guidance is available on the Reboot with Joe website: rebootwithjoe.com. You will see that freshly juiced produce provides the essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes, all needed for a healthy body. Juicing is a fast and efficient way to absorb immune boosting nutrients and to get the daily required amount of fruits and veggies our bodies need. NC

Keep ants
from marching to your home
W
ith about 47 different species of ants meandering their way through Canada, this insect is the nation’s number one pest problem – and are quick to crash a party.
Proper identification is critical for effective control of ants, so right here, let’s meet the top five species you could see on your property as the weather heats up: • Carpenter Ants: Canada’s most popular ant species prefers to build homes in damp, dead wood, which they hollow for nesting purposes. • European Fire Ants: Though not the traditional fire ant, this breed of vicious stingers is becoming quite common, and their bites can cause health implications for humans and small animals. • Moisture or Cornfield Ants: These common pests are more of a nuisance than a threat and tend to nest in high, moist areas. • Argentine Ants: Though their activity ramps up during spring and summer, their ability to adapt to the indoors has made this species a year-round threat. • Velvety Ants: Like the carpenter ant, these insects favour trees and dead wood and can infest the structure of homes. “Because ant colonies can quickly relocate and can include up to 300,000 ants, controlling these TheRentersGuide.ca pests can be difficult,” says pest control expert Alice Sinia, the quality assurance manager for Orkin Canada.“Getting to know their behaviour now can eliminate headaches later this spring and summer.”
TheRentersGuide.ca
What steps can you take to prevent these pests as warmer weather sets in? • Ants can enter a home through the tiniest of cracks, so take steps to ensure that your home stayed tight and sealed during the winter months. Repair leaks or water-damaged features immediately to deter ant colonies in search of water. • Ensure that kitchen surfaces and outdoor dining areas are constantly free of crumbs, and make it a habit to wipe up food and water spills quickly. • Be conscious when gardening and moving soil around that you may meet and disrupt a colony. If you do spot a trail of ants marching through your home, your pest control professional can help you address the issue. Your provider TheRentersGuide.ca can help you cut down on factors that contribute to ant colonies, so there’s no need to have ants in your pants over this common warmweather problem. NC

5 Ways to Brighten Up a Room by yanic simard
1
“ArtificiAl” lighting I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; It’s all in the lighting. Of course this might seem like the most obvious solution, but many people go about it in the wrong way. When choosing a ceiling light, be sure to choose something that directs the light downwards or outwards, not upwards. If the lights directed towards the ceiling, it won’t do you much good. One of my favourite fixtures is the Medusa Chandelier; with it’s 30 exposed light bulbs, being short of lighting should never be an issue. It’s also 31.5 inches in diameter, covering a wide array of space.
When choosing a table or floor lamp with a shade, choose a lightcoloured translucent shade that allows the light to shine through. If you’re blocking the light you need with a solid shade, what’s really the point of having it? Keep the base and swap the shade! tips: -Use sheer drapery fabric over what windows you do have -Increase the wattage of your light bulbs! -Have two to three watts of light per square foot
TheRentersGuide.ca Brightening up a room that doesn’t have a lot of natural light can Be Both challenging and frustrating. if you haven’t got the option of knocking down or opening up walls, or adding windows, then
TheRentersGuide.ca i’ve got 5 different suggestions that you may find very useful..

a
of them were wrong! Paint can visually brighten up a room (which is what our goal is), but not lighten up a room. you still won’t be able to read a book in that same room with no light regardless of if your walls are deep blue or bright white! believe it or not, a mid-tone beige colour is the best choice to keep the room feeling bright! Paint Colour Recommendation: benjamin Moore’s CC-396, “Stone Castle”.
3
WAllPAPer Wallpaper can completely warm up and brighten the look of a room. If you’re going to take this route, choose a wallpaper that has an element of metallic in it so that it can reflect the light from it. Wallpaper Recommendation: Graham & brown’s Kelly Hoppen “Hicks” Pattern, Colour: Taupe/Charcoal/ Silver.
tip: If you have a window in the space, it’s ideal that you’d install the wallpaper at the wall directly across from it.
4
reflective finishes Mirrors, chrome, glass and metallic are all designer favourite finishes to work with in a dull and dark room. Keep what light you do have bouncing around off of these pieces throughout the day and night.
tip: Create a focal wall with three large scale mirrors that go almost floor to ceiling – this will make the room feel much brighter and also much bigger
5
furniture scAle The size of the furniture plays a big part in the illusion of adding brightness to a room. If you have heavy, dark, chunky furniture, then TheRentersGuide.ca of course the room will feel that way. If you have light, open, clean-line furniture, then the room will feel
much more airy and open. Typically homeowners purchase their furniture in a ‘set’. If you’re one of those people, try and replace the furniture that’s on the heavier side one piece at a time. Even just swapping one bulky black leather club chair for a slightly smaller light-coloured fabric upholstered slipper chair will make the world of a difference – you’ll see. Tip: If you have too much furniture or too many pieces in a room, it can make the feel more crowded and dark. Edit and eliminate what you can on your road to a brighter space!

Add leeks to your
chicken salad sandwich C
anadian leeks are plentiful from the spring through to fall, however many people are unfamiliar with how to include these hardy, nutritious legumes in their healthy meal plans. Leeks only need some gentle grilling to bring out their sweet, complex flavour and when paired with wilted spinach, as they are in this flavourful Spinach and Leek Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe, you’re sure to get all of the vitamins and nutrients associated with these two vegetables in one scrumptious meal.
PREPARATION TIME: 15 MINUTES TOTAL TIME: 15 MINUTES SERVES: 4 INGREDIENTS:
Spinach is a valuable source of iron, which is an essential nutrient for helping to move oxygen throughout the body and for reducing fatigue, but in this sandwich, the two slices of bread actually give you the same amount of iron as the spinach.
8 slices Dempster’s WholeGrains Ancient
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter 1 leek, thinly sliced 5 cups (750 mL) fresh spinach, divided Pinch nutmeg Salt and pepper ½ cup (125 mL) crumbled feta cheese 3 Maple Leaf Prime Naturally Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cooked and coarsely chopped Grains Bread, toasted Olive oil
DIRECTIONS: HEAT butter over medium-low heat in a fry pan. Add leek and cook three to four minutes or until soft. Add 3 cups (375 mL) spinach and cook two to three minutes or until completely wilted. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from heat to cool. CHOP spinach and leek mixture roughly. Stir in crumbled feta cheese and chopped chicken. BRUSH one side of each slice of toasted bread lightly with olive oil. Top olive oil side of four slices of bread with chicken mixture, remaining fresh spinach and bread slices. Cut each sandwich in half and serve. More recipes can be found online at NaturallyDempsters.ca.NC

Confused about investing?
Where should we start Greg? That’s a good question and one I hear all the time: Should I open a TFSA or a RRSP? When do I need a RIF or a LIRA? What stock or bond should I buy? Or am I better off with a GIC? Then the conversation veers toward mutual funds, segregated funds and annuities. Part of this confusion is caused by conflicting messages that we receive from ads, TV programs, newspaper headlines and sometimes industry pundits. So let’s get right down to it: there really are only three investment options that beginners should think about: Cash, Fixed Income or Stocks. • Cash is liquid, which means that you can access it immediately from your bank account. It doesn’t generate much or any return because it’s available on demand.

• Fixed Income: This includes bonds (government or corporate) or guaranteed investment certificates. In exchange for lending your money to the government or private institution for a set period of time, they promise to pay you a rate of interest.
• Stocks: When you buy a company stock, you are purchasing a share of the company’s profits. Your rate of return is determined two ways: 1) Stock value increases, or 2) The company will share its profits with you in the form of dividends. There is no guaranteed rate of return for stocks. So what about RRSP, TFSA, RIF and LIRA? These aren’t investments per se, but investment vehicles that receive a preferential tax treatment, as defined by Revenue Canada. And what about Mutual Funds, Segregated Funds and Annuities? Again, these are not investments but a form of investing. Each of these investment types allow you to pool your money so that you can economically purchase several investments at once. They’re also available in different formats and offered by different types of financial institutions. The important thing, says Brown, is to learn as much as you can about cash, fixed income and stocks before you start invest. Remember to dream big and make a plan: it’s the best way to reach your goals.

t seems that the old adage a penny saved is a penny earned has virtually disappeared like actual pennies. Most of us are finding it harder and harder to save for the future. We’d sooner invest our time and money in smartphones, tablets and apps than think about dabbling in the stock market. But to be fair, sometimes money management can be pretty confusing with its jargon, acronyms and options. To help decipher the world of money, we asked Gregory Brown, associate manager with Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network (www.dfsin.ca/gregorybrown) in Surrey, British Columbia, for his guidance.

Don’t fall for spring cleaning myths
I
n anticipation of April showers turning into May flowers, many families will be pulling out sprays and wipes, and beginning to freshen up their homes as part of their annual spring cleaning tradition. While cleaning the whole home may seem like a daunting task, not falling for these common myths will TheRentersGuide.ca keep your cleaning team on track: TheRentersGuide.ca
myth 1: Visibly clean is clean While the kitchen may look sparkling clean, it may be harbouring bacteria or viruses that are harmful to your health. Bacteria, fungi and viruses can survive on surfaces for extended periods of time, from hours to days, so disinfectants need to be used to remove them. To help prevent the spread and cross-contamination of germs and mould, use a quality disinfectant on kitchen surfaces, cleaning cloths, mops, bathrooms, floors, toilets, door handles, telephones, toys and computer keyboards – all hotspots for germs. myth 2: a clean home must smell like harsh chemicals Many bleach users and former bleach users are concerned with the safety and harshness of bleach – and don’t like the harsh fumes or harsh chemical residue that is left behind by bleach. Now, however, there are cleaning products available that do not require rubber gloves, a mask, or rinsing, such as Lysol Power & Free, which is made
with hydrogen peroxide and breaks down simply into water and oxygen. myth 3: Bathrooms are the dirtiest part of the home While people may think the bathroom is one of the most germ-laden rooms of the house, the kitchen is actually much worse. Canadians were found to have more mould inside their fridges, than in their bathrooms, according to a recent Hygiene Council survey.
ny air el il e me A 504 Jan
cei cio B 458
b s 1
Kitchen towels were found to be the most contaminated, followed by the fridge. Other germ hotspots that shouldn’t be forgotten when spring cleaning include: door knobs, phone receivers and mouth pieces, refrigerator and microwave door handles, light switches, computer keyboards, remote controls and handheld games. Bacteria, fungi and viruses can survive on surfaces for extended periods of time, TheRentersGuide.ca so disinfectant wipes or paper towels and a disinfecting cleaner should be used. NC

It pays to KNOW
YOUR RIGHTS
as a financial consumer
K
nowing your rights is fundamental to your financial health. This knowledge enables you to make informed decisions that are right for your situation, needs and overall well-being. But are you aware of what your rights are when you visit your local bank branch, open a bank account or shop for a line of credit?
It pays to know that in Canada, there are laws, voluntary codes of conduct, and public commitments designed to protect financial consumers. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) ensures that all federally regulated financial institutions comply with these regulations. For example, you have the right to: • free services like cashing a Government of Canada cheque for free at any bank as long as the cheque is for $1,500 or less • dispute errors that you have spotted on your credit report that you believe are wrong; • file a complaint with your financial institution’s complaint-handling process if you are not satisfied with the service that you have received • refuse some services – federally regulated financial institutions must obtain your consent before charging you for a new optional product or service like additional insurance coverage, a loan or overdraft protection • open a basic bank account, even if you don’t have a job, if you don’t have money to put in the account right away or if you have been bankrupt, as long as you have certain required pieces of identification.

Fraud prevention tips for older adults “According to a Visa Canada survey, approximately half of all seniors over the age of 65 who have been victimized by fraud do not tell anyone about their ordeal,” says Gord Jamieson, head of security for Visa Canada.“Individuals should never be embarrassed to talk to family, friends or their bank if they have questions or are worried they may be a victim of fraud.” Jamieson points out that there are many things seniors, and all Canadians, can do to help safeguard their personal information and prevent fraud. He recommends the following tips for the young at heart: • Always treat your cards as if they were cash, and don’t leave them in places where they are easily accessible to anyone. • Always report lost or stolen cards immediately to your bank. • Always make a list of all your card numbers and keep this list in a safe place.
S
eniors are all too often the target of fraudulent phone calls and email scams. Many security experts agree that older adults can be seen as profitable targets for fraudsters – in part because seniors are often thought to have a “nest egg” and an excellent credit rating. TheRentersGuide.ca
What makes this even more alarming is that research shows seniors who do become victims of fraud are not telling their friends or family. This is an important step to help law enforcement catch the criminals and prevent fraud in the future.
TheRentersGuide.ca
• Always create a PIN that is hard to guess (e.g. not a birthday or phone number). • Always be cautious when asked for personal information over the phone when you didn’t initiate the call. • Never share your PIN – not even with family, friends or caregivers. • Never keep a written copy of your PIN in your wallet or purse. • Never lend your credit or debit card to anyone, ever. • Never agree to a “free trial” or “sample” without reading the terms and conditions. You may be agreeing to future monthly charges – which aren’t free.
