EDITORS’ NOTES

he moment you move into an apartment from a reliable property management company, you will be able to enjoy a number of benefits. One cheque basically takes care of it all. As you know, one of the biggest things to consider when renting is your choice of location. Unlike furniture, paint and being a good neighbour, it’s the one thing that you cannot change, so it’s important to choose well. What are the other critical things to consider when choosing a location? There are so many personal variables, it’s really up to you to decide. As an example, if it is just as important to you to be close to your children’s school as it is to your place of work, then look for a place that offers you the best of both worlds. If you aren’t keen on owning a car and want to use public transportation whenever possible to save on parking and gas costs, a well-connected mass transit location may be a better option for you. If you’re a walker, close proximity to major amenities should be a definite consideration. Doing errands such as grocery shopping and banking on foot not only offers many health benefits, it gives you a chance to meet new neighbours and discover new places too. Don’t let the cost of rent solely dictate your choice of location. Make a list of your priorities first, and then take the time to assess each location for its merits and weight your options.

partment living offers incredible flexibility and makes it easy to have a home that meets your needs, even as they change. You can have exactly the amount of space you need, and as your lifestyle and needs change it’s easy for your apartment to keep up. No agents, land transfer taxes or lawyers – renters are free of that expense and stress. Just give proper written notice and move on. If it’s just a change in the size of your suite, often it’s as easy as a chat with the management. They may be able to give you another suite within the building – or at least let you know when one becomes available. Even a change of location can be accommodated by management companies with numerous locations – why not stay with a property management company that you find does a great job in creating a comfortable and well-maintained community. Look around you and see, is your apartment just right or have you outgrown it? When it’s time to move on, with Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place to call home. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Henry Farm

Donâ€™t be fooled by the name This is prime urban living!

by Ivan Sandoval

hen your residence is atop a valley looking down to the world below, suffice it to say that you are living on prime real estate. As the name suggests, the neighbourhood of Henry Farm on the top of the Don Valley was initially a farm property that belonged to George TheRentersGuide.ca S. Henry who was Premier of Ontario in the 1930â€™s. Now, houses, apartment buildings, townhouses, schools and TheRentersGuide.ca parks have come together to create this tight-knit community in the heart of North York.

The 401 marks the southern border, while Sheppard Avenue marks the northern border. The east Don River marks the western border before hitting Leslie Road while Don Mills Road marks the eastern border. Henry Farm is nestled within several other unique neighbourhoods including Bayview Village, Don Valley Village, Graydon Hall and the Parkwoods. All of these areas have significant rental populations no doubt due to the fact that they are all close to highways and public transit, including the Sheppard subway line and Oriole GO Station. Shopping Henry Farm is located adjacent to Fairview Mall, one of the favourite shopping destinations in the GTA. It boasts over 270 fashion stores and services. Fairview also includes a theatre and several restaurants and cafĂŠs. Directly behind the mall, you can find the Fairview Library and Theatre providing area residents with alternate, educational ways to spend their free time.

For your smaller amenities, residents can walk across Don Mills to Parkway Forest Plaza, which includes a grocery

and pharmacy and is located beside Parkway Forest Park, one of three parks in the area. Havenbrook Park, which borders the 401 and the Betty Sutherland Trail are the other two greenspaces available to Henry Farmers. Living in Henry Farm There is plenty of activity and an ideal mix of urban and suburban in Henry Farm. While the abundance of parkland and the Don Valley offer escape to lush greenspace, all of the urban amenities are also quite easily accessed from this location. Well-serviced by TTC, this area has both 24-hour bus service and access to the subway. Getting downtown is just as easy as escaping the city heading north. While boasting an excellent mid-town location Henry Farm offers the best of both city living and suburban escape. Within Henry Farm there are both townhouse and apartment rental options. The area immediately surrounding Henry Farm includes a lot of mid-sized apartment buildings. While the area appeals to all, from urbanites to families looking for a quiet community there really is something for everyone â€“ even the Premier of Ontario!

Making apartment buildings healthier,

ONE STEP AT A TIME B y Ted Whi t ehead

s Ontario’s leading advocate for quality rental housing, the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) is continually looking for ways to improve the quality of life of apartment dwellers and staff in the province.

The organization created the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) to help apartment-seekers locate professionally operated and maintained buildings. Landlords and apartment managers whose buildings are enrolled and qualify agree to maintain stringent standards. Tenants also have responsibilities in keeping their quality of life healthy and vibrant. The push for environmental friendliness and healthier living has a place in the today’s rental residences and can be achieved in many ways with the help of renters. Obeying the Smoke-Free Ontario Act of 2005 is one example. Under this Act, smoking is not allowed in the common areas of apartment buildings such as elevators, hallways, stairwells, parking garages, laundry rooms, lobbies and amenity spaces. Smoking in individual apartments is not TheRentersGuide.ca regulated, but some renters today are choosing to smoke only outdoors on their balconies or outside the building. “Respecting the rights of everyone,

TheRentersGuide.ca smokers and non smokers alike,

leads to a healthier, safer and more harmonious living environment for all,” says Mike Chopowick, director of Policy Matters, Federation of Rentalhousing Providers of Ontario. Most people understand that outdoor air quality is affected by things such as smog and the exhaust from vehicles, but may not realize that indoor air can actually be a lot worse. This is because residents live in proximity to commonly used products that may be toxic and pollute the air that they breathe. To avoid this scenario, tenants can do simple things such as switch to unscented cleaning products, and if they paint their walls, they can use low-VOC paints. As time passes, we see new materials and techniques on the market that contribute to Greener, healthier, more sustainable living. Looking to the exterior, some buildings now have Green roofs with plant material that absorbs water and is easier on the city’s storm system. Low-growing succulents are one example of plant life that helps. On some of these roofs, rainwater is collected to use for irrigating the landscaping. Plants and trees have a great impact on the environment in filtering toxins. There may be spots around apartment buildings where well-placed trees

can even provide shade and reduce cooling costs in the summer months, and switching to non-toxic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers for the building’s landscaping is to everyone’s benefit. FRPO and the Greater Toronto Apartment Association (GTAA) have been assisting the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation (CERA) to develop voluntary guidelines and associated educational resources to promote healthier apartment buildings. As these guidelines are developed, they will be added to the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) that provides apartment-seekers with a tool to help find professionally operated and maintained buildings. Based in Toronto, the GTAA represents the interests of active and concerned firms participating in the multi-family rental housing industry. Visit crbprogram.org and frpo.org

LOOKING TO DOWNSIZE?

Make the smart choice and RENT B Y J ANE H E RMAN

re you an empty nester and looking to downsize? Most people do not realize how much equity they are sitting on in their houses. By selling your home at this stage of your life, you could tap into the enormous equity you have accumulated, invest the proceeds, and then use the income to pay for your monthly rent. Thatâ€™s like living rent-free! TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

56G

TheRentersGuide.ca

The actual amount of money you could generate depends on the value of your home and the rate of return on your investment. For argument’s sake, let’s assume that you can net $800,000 on the sale of your house and then earn a modest three per cent annual return ($24,000). That would give you up to $2,000 a month to spend on rent. Since most rental apartments in the GTA go for considerably less than that, you should be able to rent a great apartment in a great building, in the neighbourhood of your preference and still reinvest a portion of the interest income to maintain the principal. After 28 years in their house, and with their two children grown and living on their own, Benjamin Applebaum and his wife, of Toronto, did just that.“We had a big, five-bedroom house which we thoroughly enjoyed, but it was 85 years old and there were always headaches associated with owning, in terms of major repairs and maintenance,” said Applebaum.“We had always talked about selling it at some point in time. We felt that given the present state of the real estate market in Toronto that it was an opportune time to sell.” After looking at a number of townhouses and other properties for rent, the Applebaums stumbled on the apartment they ultimately rented – a huge, 2,500-ft penthouse that’s walking distance to work, with underground parking, a fabulous kitchen, a huge outdoor terrace where they can barbecue and three bathrooms. Not your typical downsizing scenario, by any stretch of the imagination. “We did the math and were astounded,” said Applebaum.“ By investing the principle from the sale of our house, and compounding the interest, we are more than covering our annual rental expenses. And the best part of it all is that we do not pay property taxes, heating, or monthly maintenance fees TheRentersGuide.ca like we would in a condominium. Nor did we have to pay any transaction costs, like when buying or selling. Most people

do not realize how costly it is to live in a condominium. It’s true that underground parking in our climate is a perk – at my age, a necessity – but you can join a gym for a lot less than you would pay to have a fancy health club right in your building. And most apartment buildings have underground parking.” A persuasive case for renting (vs. owning a condo) is also made by chartered accountant David Trahair, in his highly publicized book Cash Cows, Pigs and Jackpots: The Simplest Personal Finance Strategy Ever. Trahair argues that the way to wealth is less though acquiring assets, and more through improving cash flow. Trahair urges would-be condo buyers (like seniors, particularly those who might be tempted to downsize from a house to a condominium) to avoid the pitfalls of condominium ownership that include whopping monthly maintenance fees, property taxes, and potential special assessments (to pay for major repairs

or poor construction). As a senior, you should be especially careful to avoid such unnecessary expenses at this stage of your life. For those who have just sold the family home Trahair advises “You sit on a ton of cash and you just rent.”Wouldn’t you rather be using your capital for travel and other priorities than home maintenance? “At this stage of our lives, selling our home and renting was one of the smartest moves we could have made,” says Applebaum. It could be yours, too.

Avoid fraud B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

ver had a sense of participating in the shared consciousness? This is how I refer to the fact that sometimes I get a slew of letters about one particular topic. Itâ€™s sometimes what drives me to do a blog with a specific focus. A while back I got a slew of letters asking about TheRentersGuide.ca the Save-10 Per Cent-Rule. Most recently, Iâ€™ve had a barrage of request from people who are very TheRentersGuide.ca concerned about fraud. If this has been on your mind, here are some I do. TheRentersGuide.ca 68G

TheRentersGuide.ca

finances I’ve also received more than a few emails requesting personal information. I just hit delete. I know my bank would never send an e-mail requesting log-in information or for me to click on a link to your bank’s log-in screen to enter information. If you’re a sucker, you deserve to lose your money. Sounds harsh. Really? Have you ever got one of those emails promising you thousands of dollars if you take advantage of a new business opportunity, fabulous investment with amazing returns, or for your help is moving money from another country? Just how gullible are you?

I periodically go through my paperwork and files and get rid of anything I no longer need. I don’t just dump ‘em. I shred ‘em. This applies to financial statements, invoices, anything with personal information that someone could use to hurt me. Since “dumpster-diving” has become a favourite way for fraudsters to find information they can use to apply for loans or credit cards in your someone else’s name, I bought myself a cross-shredder and make my financial stuff into confetti. I never write my PINs down. Yeah, I’m old, but I can still commit a few number to memory. And I would’’t dream of sharing my PIN with anyone. When choosing a PIN don’t make it too obvious: a phone number, address, birth date. And periodically I change my PINs. If you’re having trouble remembering your multitude of PINs and passwords, take a page from my girlfriend: she carries a telephone book around with her and has her PINs and passwords concealed amongst all the other names and numbers. I never give out info on the phone. I’ve had people call me to “verify” stuff, and ask me for the information. I point out that I’m happy to verify what they already know, but I’m not telling them squat. Your bank will never call you at home requesting TheRentersGuide.ca personal information. If someone does, rest assured that it is a scam and should be reported to both your bank and the Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or info@ phonebusters.com.

Work-from-home scams are another way some people are ambushed. With people looking for ways to make more money, the temptation to send money to someone with a promise of getting paid work you can do at home is sometimes too much to resist. One of the most successful lures you into becoming a “representative” or “collection agent” for a company. The fraudsters have you collect and deposit cheques into your bank account and then wire the cash to Head Office while keeping your commission for yourself. Sadly, the cheques turn out to be counterfeit and the bank comes after you for the cash because you are responsible for any deposits to your bank account. I’m also pretty careful when I shop online. I choose to use reputable retailers and I have a credit card with a very low balance that I use only for online purchases. I change this card every year or so. A credit card can actually help to protect you since if you have a dispute with a seller, you can ask your credit card company for a “chargeback” – read “don’t pay this seller” – if your purchase was not as advertised.

MushrooMs

have nutritional bang-for-the-buck

ith many of us trying to save money at the grocery store, buying fresh foods that are nutrient dense is very important. Fresh Canadian mushrooms are a nutrient dense food that is available year round, making them a great value for your health and your pocketbook. By adding a 1/2 cup serving of mushrooms to your meals, you are adding vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants; all vital to good health. Loads of Vitamins: When it comes to the B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid, fresh mushrooms make a great choice. A ½ cup serving makes an important contribution to daily intakes of folate, thiamin and vitamin B6. Fresh mushrooms are also the only vegetable source of Vitamin D. Many Minerals: A single serving of fresh mushrooms is a source of copper, phosphorus, potassium and selenium. Along with serving up great taste, fresh mushrooms also contribute to daily intakes of iron, magnesium and zinc.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Fabulous Fibre: Mushrooms offer both soluble and insoluble fibre, which may have anti-cancer properties as well as promote satiety and good TheRentersGuide.ca bowel health. Whether the concern is

F • • • • •

lowering cholesterol levels and risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, diverticulosis, or just general bowel health, fibre is one of the dietary keys. Getting

enough fibre every day has also been linked to a lower Body Mass Index, an indicator of obesity. Because fibre helps make foods more satisfying, one tends to eat less, and

that can translate into weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight. Antioxidants: Antioxidants are the heroes of cell preservation. They work by slowing or preventing the oxidative process caused by free radicals that can lead to cell damage and the onset of problems like heart disease and diabetes. Recent research has found that both raw and cooked mushrooms contain a powerful antioxidant called ergothioneine. Portabella and crimini mushrooms have the most, followed by white button mushrooms.

Eggs benedict recipe

with whole grains and asparagus prep tIme: 30 mInutes total tIme: 35 mInutes serves: 6 IngredIents: 1 (56 g) package dry hollandaise sauce mix 24-30 asparagus spears 6 eggs 1 tbsp (15 mL) White vinegar 6 slices Dempsterâ€™s WholeGrains 100% Canadian Century Grains Bread, toasted 6 slices swiss cheese 12 slices Schneiders Peameal Style Bacon, cooked as per package directions Salt and pepper

dIrectIons: COOK hollandaise sauce according to package directions. Keep warm. BLANCH asparagus in boiling water until tender crisp about, about two to three minutes. Set aside.

Itâ€™s a sure sIgn of sprIng when the fIrst bunches of canadIan asparagus appear at the neIghbourhood market. Local produce is the freshest you can buy and is always a healthy, nutritious choice. Adding freshly picked, locally grown asparagus into your breakfast or brunch is a simple, unexpected way to energize your body with essential vitamins and minerals and start the day off right. Fibre is also an essential nutrient and a vital part of healthy eating. Did you know that one slice of bread contains as much fibre as one cup of TheRentersGuide.ca asparagus? Sufficient fibre helps you maintain a healthy weight as it keeps you feeling full longer without adding extra calories. This eggs benedict recipe, with asparagus and whole grains, is high in fibre and uses fresh, locally grown produce has everything you want to get you TheRentersGuide.ca going in the morning.

BRING a large pot of water to a boil. Lower heat to keep water just simmering. Stir in vinegar. Working one egg at a time, crack into a small cup and gently drop into the simmering water. Once all eggs have been added to the pot, cook until desired doneness, about three to four minutes for medium poached. Remove eggs from pot with a slotted spoon. PLACE two slices of peameal bacon on each slice of toast, top with a slice of cheese, a layer of blanched asparagus, and a poached egg. Drizzle with desired amount of hollandaise sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. TheRentersGuide.ca More recipes can be found online at NaturallyDempsters.ca. NC

Managing your money as co-CFOs

Whether you’re making a big purchase, planning a career change, saving for a child’s education or investing for your retirement, it’s important to recognize the impact that each of these goals has on your overall financial plan. A key ingredient for success is balance – it may be a good idea for one person to pay all the bills, but it’s important that both people are informed about where the money goes each month. Similarly, one CFO may take the lead on investments, but it’s important that the investment strategy reflect the long-term goals of each partner, and that each partner have an understanding of how they are investing to achieve their goal. It’s essential to find ways to

anaging your finances has its challenges – just like managing a successful business. Managing money as a couple? No difference. Whether you’re married, engaged or living together, differences of opinion when it comes to the family finances are bound to arise. However, with some mutual planning, communication and support, couples can overcome almost any money obstacle that falls their way.

be equally engaged in all money decisions: decide together what is mine, yours and ours. “Once you have a plan, the everyday financial decisions are understood and endorsed by each partner. This can help remove stress around money management and help provide confidence about your current and long-term financial health,” Cimoroni says. One way to feel informed and in control is to consult an expert, something more and more couples are doing together. From gaining

“Picture your family finances as you would business finances, and like any business, it needs a plan to succeed,” says Sandy Cimoroni, President, TD Mutual Funds and head of TD’s Women Investor Strategy. She recommends a fresh approach is to tackle family finances together, as co-CFOs.

TheRentersGuide.ca CFOs are a company’s Chief Financial Officer – they invest the company’s money, monitor the cash flow, and handle long term financial planning. “By following this approach, you can work together to manage the family finances: determine your overall goals and objectives, then assign responsibilities for managing the day-to-day finances and monitoring progress towards reaching long-term goals.” TheRentersGuide.ca

quicktips

A calmer home

in 5 steps by Rachael KalinsKy

spRing has finally aRRived, and with waRmeR

weather and longer days often comes the urge to purge. Here are five simple steps to help you de-clutter, create a calmer home and let the positive energy flow back into the spaces we’ve been hibernating in all winter long. 1 PrePare your organizing Tools. Just like

any project or recipe, we need the necessary tools or ingredients before we can get started. The same goes for getting organized. Here are my key ingredients for a successful de-cluttering session: » Black bags for garbage » Blue bags or bin for recycling » Clear bags or recycled boxes for items to be donated » Two large bins or boxes: • One to act as a “Maybe bin” for those items that you’re struggling to make a decision on • The other to act as a “Relocate bin” for items that belong in another room – the key to staying focused is to not leave the room you’re working on until it’s complete » Marker and role of masking tape • To label your bins or make reminder notes on items such as “replace button” or “return to store.” 2 KeeP only The iTems you use or loVe. Your possessions should either serve a purpose or reflect who you are, and everything should have its place. As you begin the de-cluttering process, you should unquestionably get rid of anything that’s collecting dust, feels uncomfortable, doesn’t fit, doesn’t work, or creates a negative emotion – leaving only the items you use or love.

TheRentersGuide.ca

3 sTarT wiTh your sTorage areas. We in the

organizing profession often advise our clients to pick an area and start small. While this is very true, I also suggest starting with storage areas such as the basement, garage, or that spare room that’s become the “dumping ground.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

Our storage areas are often the place where things we don’t use or love end up, therefore they tend to be easier items to make decisions on and help us get into the de-cluttering groove. Secondly, our storage areas are intended for items we don’t use regularly, such as seasonal clothing, sporting gear, luggage and extra household supplies. Getting rid of the unnecessary makes space for the items that should filter into storage as we move onto de-cluttering the rest of the home. 4 CreaTe a PlaCe for eVeryThing. Now that you’ve gotten rid of all the items you no longer use or love, it’s time to create a “home” for everything that’s left. Install a hook to hang your keys as you walk in the door, use baskets to keep like items together, and dedicate a letter tray to consolidate incoming mail, bills to pay and notices to address. Having a home for everything will eliminate the piles from building up again. 5 Deal wiTh iT now. Once you’ve de-cluttered and set up systems for where things belong, it’s important to get into the habit of always putting things back. It only takes a second to hang your keys as you walk in the door, put away the clean laundry, or put the kids books/toys back on the shelf. Doing it right away will save you time in the long run and eliminate that nagging and overwhelming feeling that occurs when things start to pile up.

Rachael KalinsKy Rachael Kalinsky, Professional Organizer and Owner of Order in the House, takes pride in helping her clients live a more balanced life through the process of de-cluttering, creating customized TheRentersGuide.ca solutions and encouraging positive habits to maintain an organized space.

10 top design tips for renters By Lucie Grys

ou don’t need to blow the bank to make your rented apartment or house feel like home. With these 10 quick and affordable, landlord-approved design tips, you’ll be living la dolce vita in no time.

.CHOOSE A THEME When it comes to designing your space, it’s easier if you chose a theme as a starting point. If you love hiking in the outdoors, pick colours like greens, blues and earth tones that reflect the trees, sky and rocks. If you love to go dancing on a Saturday night, try vibrant reds, glittery metallics and sultry blacks. If you’ve got the travel bug, try hot pinks, aquamarines and saffron yellows.

Or, if you want your space to be a respite from your busy life, chose off whites, pale blues and natural colours to relax you. Once you’ve picked a theme, you’ll find it’s a lot easier to focus on creating your perfect space. Marta Nicholson of Moda Interior Design in Winnipeg, Manitoba notes, “we need to remember that in today’s time with busy schedules, the place that we call home

needs to be a stress-free environment that we find beautiful, calming and truly a retreat to rejuvenate for the next day. Visual balance is one of the most important key elements in design – balance of colour, balance and moderation in accessories, balance of textures. If this is successful in a space – whether large or small – then the outcome of the design produces comfort and pleasure.”

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

START WITH A CLEAN SLATE If you ask your landlord’s permission and show them the colours ahead of time, most will allow you to paint your walls. Often, they will ask you to paint them back to a neutral tone before you leave, but that seems to be a small price to pay for living with the colours that you want. If painting the walls isn’t an option, visit a fabric store and frame your favourite prints and patterns to bring some life to your walls. “If a renter is planning to be in a lease for a long period of time, then it is important to love the place that you call home. Make your home beautiful. Hire an interior designer who will come in and assist you in making your space special,” says Nicholson. If you can’t paint, she advises clients to use, “a cushion or throw or a new bedspread in the bedroom to achieve colour. Also, nothing can beat fresh flowers in a space to add colour, texture and interest.”

THE PARTY IS IN THE KITCHEN Everyone knows that the real party always ends up in the kitchen. But if you’ve inherited ugly cupboards and a leaky faucet, you might just choose the keep the lights off. If you are a neat freak and don’t mind your plates and cups being exposed, unscrew your cabinet doors and go for the open shelving look. Prop your dishware so it looks like a magazine stylist did it, and hide your cupboard doors under your bed for when you decide to move and have to put them back up. Another quick fix that can update any dated kitchen is to splurge on a great looking faucet. For about $100, you can modernize your kitchen, and paired with some bold tea towels, a vase of fresh flowers and a bowl of apples, lemons or limes, you’ll create a real designer look for less.

WINDOW DRESSING Window treatments can be very expensive, but it’s easier than you think to create a great look, and can be done on a TheRentersGuide.ca budget. If you’ve moved into a space where the blinds are older than you are, take

them down and stash them in your storage locker. A simple rod with some prefab curtain panels is a cheap fix to frame out your windows. Hit your local big box store for some bamboo blinds and add some texture while you shut out the morning light. Or, find a deal and buy metres and metres of a good-looking, neutral fabric and drape the material over a rod for a no-sew solution.

a storage space for your bike, treat the space like an outdoor room. Throwing down an outdoor rug to frame out a conversation nook, placing a bistro table with a few folding chairs and picking up some pre-planted flowers or ferns can create a lot of visual interest. Keep the theme and colours consistent with your interior and make the time to enjoy your outdoor oasis and dine al fresco.

BATHROOM BLUES It’s amazing what a new shower curtain, a good scrubbing and a basket of fresh towels can do to bring the spa home to your own bathroom. No need to fret over ugly shower tiles, simple keep your shower curtain drawn over the bathtub and only you will know what ‘70s-inspired tiles lurk behind. Pick up an stylish mirror to hang over the sink and prop you bathroom with clear containers of cotton swabs, cotton balls and other lotions and potions. Depending on the effect you want to create, you can add some life to a bathroom by replacing a low wattage bulb with a higher one – or pick up a small lamp for the counter to create a romantic ambient mood.

SAVE OR SPLURGE? The key to creating your dream space is to know when to splash out the big bucks and when to hit the local garage sales. Nicholson says, “If an individual is renting a space for a short time, then I would suggest that they should invest in items that they can take with them. If a client purchases small items that they find beautiful to brighten up their space, then they will most likely find that same item beautiful for their second living arrangement. Items such as paintings and artwork, sculptural elements, vases, the list goes on. However one needs to avoid clutter, – clutter being to me one of the greatest eyesores.”

CREATE A HOME OFFICE If working on your laptop in front of the TV is taking its toll on your back, pick a corner or a small closet and make a home office. Wireless printers can be stored in a wardrobe or behind a cupboard, install a few floating shelves for supplies in neat boxes and pick up a stool that can be easily tucked away. The trick is to keep the space clutter-free and well-organized.

STORE IT WISELY With space at a premium, being clever with storage ideas will help to free up living space. Invest in an upholstered storage bench than can serve as a coffee table and can also divide a living room from a dining nook. Pick up a wardrobe to hide away your TV, stereo, DVD and extra linens and towels. Use closet space wisely and pick up some stacking shelves for seasonal items like winter boots and bulky sweaters.

KEEP IT CLEAN Enjoy that new place feeling for as long as you can, take the time to unpack all of your boxes and put your treasures away. Living out of cardboard boxes isn’t fun. Sweep up and vacuum on Sunday nights, dust off your TV and tables, recycle junk mail so it doesn’t pile up on kitchen counters and be proud of your home. Invite your friends and family over to share your space and even if you don’t own your home yet, live as if you do.

INCREASE YOUR LIVING SPACE When patio weather hits, and if you are lucky enough to have some outdoor space, use it wisely. Instead of your balcony being

unique. I also love working with New Brunswick-based abstract artist Matt LeBlanc, who will take my client’s paint and furniture colours and create an abstract piece customized to their existing décor. He ships them to me in Toronto and it is always a fun surprise to see what he has come up with. Commissioning a custom piece of art is a great way to support the local art community and to ensure you have a truly one-of-a-kind piece on your walls. Lastly, I love using personal photographs to create art. This can often be an inexpensive approach when conscious of budget. If a digital image is large enough, I will take it to a local print shop, enlarge the photo to poster size, and place it in a modern frame. With digital software it is also easy to manipulate an image to change the colours, increase the contrast, or crop for dramatic emphasis. Also, Internet sources such as canvasstock.com will take your digital file and transfer it onto a stretched canvas, giving you a gallery look without the gallery price tag.

personal way. While art can often get put on the backburner after the dust of a renovation has settled, the personalized story that art tells about a homeowner shouldn’t be forgotten. Today there are many avenues in which art can be purchased, so making your personal mark on your home might be easier – and less expensive – than you think.

Art doesn’t have to be complicated. It just has to be “you.” With the multitude of ways that art can be purchased, whether on foot or online, the perfect piece for your space is waiting to be discovered.

The first place I go when selecting art for a client is a traditional gallery. In Toronto, Canvas and Art Interiors are my local favourites. The staff is trained to assist you in picking just the right piece for you and your space. And best of all, a gallery will often allow you to borrow the pieces for a time period to “test drive” in your home. As the art on your walls can really change the colour scheme and mood of a room, being able to see it in the context of the rest of your space makes for a stressfree investment. A visit to a gallery is also a great way to find new emerging artists, and support their work at more introductory prices.

Additionally, I love to invest in artists by commissioning custom pieces. When TheRentersGuide.ca you commission a piece, you can work with an artist to get exactly what you want, and this has yielded gorgeous outcomes for many of my clients’ spaces. Artist Becky Simpson of RLS Studios will take a client’s photograph, enlarge it to their desired size, and through a wax transfer technique called encaustic painting, create beautiful, textured, large-scale works. The texture created through the dripping wax is truly TheRentersGuide.ca

Pause, then plan, if overwhelmed by money IEF oFFErs thrEE tIps For copIng wIth monEy strEss: • Assess your situation. Take stock of your financial situation, identify what’s causing the stress and make a plan to address it. For example, if you’re overspending every month, use IEF’s budget worksheet to help you account for all expenses and find areas where you can cut back. In addition, if you’re weighed down by debt, use IEF’s pay off credit cards and debt calculator to prioritize which debts to pay off first.

orrying too much about money may be hazardous to your health. A recent study in North America found that people with high levels of debt-related stress are more likely to experience physical and mental health problems, such as heart attacks, high blood pressure, ulcers, insomnia, migraines, anxiety or depression, than those with low debt-related stress.

“The impact of financial stress can be felt well beyond your wallet, but it TheRentersGuide.ca shouldn’t take over your life,” said Tom Hamza, president of Investor Education Fund (IEF), Canada’s leading authority on financial literacy education and research. “The key to conquering money worries is to take action. Even small changes to your financial habits can make a big difference

TheRentersGuide.ca in the long run.”

• Get help. A financial advisor can help provide some perspective and expertise to help you get back on track and feel more in control of your financial situation. Learn how to choose an advisor, and review the eight questions to ask in the “Getting advice” section of IEF’s website. • Keep your eyes on the prize. As you make progress toward your goal, find small ways to reward yourself and stay motivated. Think cheap and cheerful – buy yourself flowers or do something healthy (and free) to take your mind off the stress.

Create Clear views

e can all agree that nothing beats a beautiful view. No matter the size of a room or space, a view to the outside world makes the area feel more expansive and naturally open. Whether it’s a city or rural view, there are lots of ways to enhance the natural beauty of your vista. Sally Morse, director of creative services for window fashions company, Hunter Douglas, offers a few new tips to give you the vision you desire: TheRentersGuide.ca

• Accessorize – Not all rooms in a home look out onto a pleasant view. Hanging a fun poster or a pretty painting on the wall will draw the eye away from the window. Wall mirrors are also ideal for decorating a space with small windows because they provide the illusion of depth and added dimension. Consider hanging two groupings of wall mirrors on opposite walls, so that they reflect light and bounce it back across the room. • Sheers – One of the most stylish and utilitarian ways to dress up your view is with window sheers. However, not all sheers offer the same visibility. For example, an irregular, undulating pattern, known as the moiré effect, can occur with some sheer window treatments. Imagine having a beautiful view, but not being able to appreciate it because your window coverings are detracting from its beauty. One solution comes from Hunter Douglas. Its Silhouette and Nantucket window shadings have an anti-moiré patent so that they provide a clear and uninterrupted view of the outside while diffusing incoming light and providing enhanced UV-protection. More information is available online at www.hunterdouglas.ca NC.

What to look for in an apartment By Jane Herman

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

TheRentersGuide.ca

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

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

Rental Agreements What You Should Know Before you Sign a Lease

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

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

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

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

emergency (usually including a phone number, fax and email). For more information or a free copy of CMHC’s Guide to Renting a Home, call CMHC at 1-800-6682642 or visit our website at www. cmhc.ca.

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.

Stuffed Brioche

french toast PreP time: 30 minutes standing time: 20 minutes grilling time: 11 to 18 minutes serves: 6 12 slices brioche, each about 3/4 inch thick 6 ounces cream cheese, softened 6 heaping tablespoons peach jam large eggs 1 cup whole milk 1 cup half–and–half 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract Finely grated zest of 1 orange 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 4 large, ripe freestone peaches, quartered Canola oil spray

directions: 1 Arrange six slices of the brioche in a baking pan large enough to fit them all comfortably in one layer. Spread each slice with 1 ounce of cream cheese, leaving a one–half–inch border at the edges. Spread each of the other six slices with a heaping tablespoon of jam, and then invert them onto the halves with the cream cheese, making sandwiches. 2 In a large bowl whisk the eggs, milk, half–and– half, sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and salt. Pour the mixture over the sandwiches, and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning TheRentersGuide.ca the sandwiches once.

5 Brush the cooking grates clean. Tip one sandwich on its side so that any extra liquid runs off. Spray both sides with oil and then place on the grill. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Grill over direct medium–low heat, with the lid closed as much as possible until browned on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes, turning once. Move the sandwiches onto a piece of foil placed over indirect medium–low heat, close the lid, and continue cooking until the sandwiches are firm in the centre, about five minutes. At the same time, grill the peaches over direct medium–low heat until the flesh is marked and the peaches are warm, five to 10 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove from the grill and cut the peach quarters in half lengthwise. 6 Serve the sandwiches hot with the peaches on top.

3 Lightly spray the peaches with oil.

Teach your kids

abouT money “Whether you take active steps to teach your kids positive financial skills or not, they’re learning from you anyway – by watching how you spend and make financial decisions,” said Tom Hamza, president of IEF. “It’s never too early or too late to start teaching kids how to spend, save and manage debt responsibly.”

N Fea

Here are some guidelines for ways to teach kids about money at any age: Three to four years old: While you make purchases, let your kids participate. Talk about what you’re doing and let them hand over the money. Give them a piggy bank so they can collect the change. Five to eight years old: Introduce the concept of money – where it comes from and how it’s earned. This is also a good time to start giving your kids an allowance. Nine to 12 years old: Kids in this age group are interested in spending money, so this is a key time to introduce the concept of saving. Teach them how interest helps their money grow through investing. Have them open a savings account and help them monitor it online so they can watch their savings grow.

ost parents likely think it’s a good idea to teach their kids about money, but they may not realize how important this information is to their kids. TheRentersGuide.ca

According to a study by Investor Education Fund (IEF), high school students consider their parents to be their most trusted source of financial information. The study also found that only four in 10 high school students feel prepared for managing their money after they TheRentersGuide.ca leave high school.

13 to 15 years old: Introduce the idea of credit cards and consider extending a credit limit to your teen. Set rules for using and repaying the credit and outline the consequences for not paying back the money on time. 16 to 18 years old: Now is a good time to cut back on your teen’s allowance as he/she will earn his/her own income; in addition, help your teen develop and maintain a monthly budget. More ideas on teachingTheRentersGuide.ca kids about money, and answers to your money questions can be found online at GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca. NC

Digital design

for the home

rom sleek highdefinition televisions to the newest smartphone-enhanced kitchen appliances, technology is rapidly transforming the way Canadians live.

Even home decoration is going high-tech: an exciting range of digital design tools has hit the market, allowing computer-savvy creative types to take a hands-on approach to adorning their living spaces. With the click of a mouse, consumers can create customized home accents that bring their personal design vision to life. According to Shelli Gardner, CEO and co-founder of crafting and design company Stampin’ Up!, digital home décor is an exciting new way to decorate. “Thanks to advances in technology, home décor is entering a new era,” she said. “The pleasure designers enjoy with their hands can TheRentersGuide.ca now be enjoyed when creating on a computer. Web-based resources such as step-by-step tutorials, designer templates and easily accessible advice from design experts make it easy for TheRentersGuide.ca everyone – even those who aren’t

tech-savvy – to create beautiful customized home décor.”

Noteworthy software-based design programs include My Digital Studio, which features exclusive artwork, colours, and designer templates. Originally conceived as an online scrapbooking tool, the program is growing in popularity for its home décor possibilities, with options for the bedroom, living room, kitchen, and playroom. In addition to the design software, the My Digital Studio Web site (MyDigitalStudio.net) also includes a number of resources that facilitate the user experience, including images of sample projects, videos featuring beginner and intermediate techniques, blogs from design experts and more. Beginners can take advantage of a no-commitment free trial by visiting stampinup.com/store. Getting started When using a tech-based design program for the first time, Gardner suggests starting with a beginner-level project, which can still pack a stylish punch. Popular project ideas for first-timers include personalized family photos. Start by scanning a favourite family

photo onto your computer. Then, using design software, try layering the scanned photo onto a colourful or patterned background, creating the look of a triple-matted picture without going to the trouble of finding and cutting the mats. Photos in black and white can look especially elegant. For a finishing touch, add a caption accent to the top or bottom corner of the photo, such as the last name of a family. For a baby photo, choose a patterned pink or blue background, and add a corner caption with the child’s name. Another easy project idea involves creating and framing a phrase using a design program’s library of fonts and symbols. Plan the colours and patterns according to the colour scheme of the room being decorated. For example, try creating a unique statement piece by printing and framing a brightlycoloured ampersand. Display the framed ampersand surrounded family photos for a unique, modern look.

Whatever the project, when it comes to digital design, the possibilities are endless. ARA

An insiderâ€™s guide to

creating a stylish and functional nursery

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 itâ€™s essential to put time into making the nursery a great space for their little one.

quick tips

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: 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.

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

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.

Renting a Home?

CMHC Offers a Range of Tips and Resources

hether you are a first-time renter or a long-time tenant, there are many important decisions to make when evaluating potential rental accommodations. To help make these decisions easier, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers a number of resources, including worksheets and helpful hints, to help you make responsible and informed rental decisions. Starting with tips for getting started and identifying rental needs, to evaluating rental options and meeting a landlord, to signing rental agreements and paying rental deposits, CMHC’s resources support renters throughout all stages of the rental process. CMHC also offers resources designed specifically for recent immigrants to Canada in eight different languages. Renting in Canada: What Newcomers Need to Know includes a variety of relevant and appropriate tools, products and resources to make finding safe and affordable housing easier. Taking the time to plan and determine what you need and how much you can afford will make the overall rental experience less stressful and the outcome more satisfying. In the planning stage, it is important to identify things like the number of bedrooms and location requirements, establish a budget and evaluate an apartment’s affordability. The tenant-landlord relationship is one of shared responsibility and CMHC’s resources provide guidance on the responsibilities of both. They also offer advice on dealing with issues such as regular and emergency repairs, rent increases and payment difficulties.

TheRentersGuide.ca Because the law governing landlords and tenants in Canada varies among the different provinces and territories, CMHC also offers Provincial and Territorial Fact Sheets that include province-specific information.

Finally, moving can be a hectic time with a varied checklist of tasks. Once you have chosen a place to live, CMHC’s tools for renters provide helpful tips on selecting reputable movers as well as reminders to transfer or close your service accounts at your existing residence and arrange for services at your new home. For more than 65 years, CMHC has shared a wealth of knowledge and housing expertise, as well as useful tools and guidance, to help Canadians enjoy an informed and assured housing experience.

Ten weird and wacky celebrity insurance policies

odels, musicians, actresses and athletes have to take care of themselves to stay at the top of their respective fields. However, when one reaches such great levels of popularity it’s no surprise that they take precautions in the case of the unforeseen. With this in mind, online insurance, credit card and mortgage comparison service www.Kanetix.ca has compiled a list of the Top Ten Celebrity Insured Body Parts. Counting down to the strangest, craziest body-part-relatedinsurance-coverage for some of the most recognizable celebs in the world, the list includes policies dealing in millions of dollars covering everything from a certain athlete’s hair ($1 000 000), to something as simple as a smile (a whopping $30 000 000 policy!). The level of vanity associated with such policies is almost unfathomable, but one has to consider that often the label, sponsor, or other deep-pocketed corporation have taken the policy out on their client. Consider professional football player, Troy Polamalu, of the Pittsburg Steelers. He’s a spokesperson for the Head and Shoulders brand of hair products which, in 2010, took out a $1 million insurance policy from Llyod’s of London on Polamalu’s signature locks. It’s no wonder Polamalu eased his way into the top 10 with such an expensive and impressive head of hair! The list takes into account two specific factors: the amount of money placed on the policy, and the sheer strangeness of it. TheRentersGuide.ca While some body parts are certainly stranger than others (see: David Lee Roth), weight is placed equally on the strangeness of a particular insured body part and the amount of money riding on the policy. In this sense, a few notable celebs were just shy of making the final cut: Tom Jones’ insured chest hair, cricket star TheRentersGuide.ca Merv Hughes’ $370,000 mustache, and of course the legendary

bassist of KISS, Gene Simmons, and his infamous tongue which is reportedly insured for a whopping $1 million. Then again, these are just the honourable mentions; the official top 10 is jaw-dropping by comparison. From a $300 million rear-end to Van Halen’s frontman having insurance on his reproductive parts, the realm of insuring celeb body parts is as fascinating as it is downright crazy. It’s said that fame is fleeting, but if these policies are any indication it could at least lead to one heck of a payday.

The break-up:

regaining financial stability after divorce is a priority TD Canada Trust offers advice to the newly single for laying the groundwork to long-term financial success If there is one constant in the entertainment gossip pages, it is celebrity divorces. While celebrity couples may appear to take this in stride, they are not immune to the financial blow felt by most couples going through a divorce. Recent research from TD Canada Trust suggests many Canadians may not be financially prepared for a break-up, but there are steps women and men can take to regain their financial footing as soon as possible after divorce. According to research conducted for TD Canada Trust, the majority of Canadians in serious relationships have shared assets. Of those Canadians currently in, or recently in, a relationship, 72 per cent own a home together, 68 per cent have a joint bank account, 64 per cent have a joint financial plan and 52 per cent have a joint credit TheRentersGuide.ca card. And, divorce proceedings are taking longer, with 21 per cent lasting more than two years, an increase of six per cent in the past five years. “Most Canadian couples are financially interdependent, and it is a real TheRentersGuide.ca challenge trying to navigate the financial aftermath at the end of a

relationship. Many people just aren’t prepared for the costs associated with divorce and how their lifestyles may change afterwards,” says John Tracy, senior vice president, TD Canada Trust. “It’s important for newly single Canadians to stabilize their financial situation after a break-up so that they don’t start taking on debt, and there are simple steps people can take to re-establish their financial independence at any stage in life.” John Tracy offers advice to newly single Canadians on how to regain financial stability: Get started: The first step in establishing your financial plan is to understand your current position. You and your partner may have joint assets and liabilities. You’ll need to work out the division of the assets and find out what liabilities you’ll be responsible for. Work with an expert toTheRentersGuide.ca understand the implications of dividing your assets and get an accurate and thorough understanding of your financial position.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Speak with a financial advisor: If your partner was the one who was making most money-related decisions, it’s time to take the reins on money management. Even if you’ve always been in charge of finances in your household, it’s important to reevaluate your goals and financial situation, and adjust your investments accordingly. Now is the time to reconsider your priorities and goals and what your retirement looks like. A financial advisor can help you navigate your way through these questions and help you create a financial plan. A plan is essential to organizing your financial resources so you can achieve your short-and long-term goals. Even if you and your former spouse shared a common financial advisor prior to the separation or divorce, your financial advisor should respect your privacy as you work together on your future financial plans. Focus on building wealth: Becoming financially independent means it is solely your responsibility to accumulate wealth for the future. Moving from a saving to an investing mindset is an effective strategy to help build your wealth over time - and it doesn’t need to be daunting. Look for investment options that offer a low minimum investment. Everyone has a different risk profile, though, so make sure you have the right mix for you. And, speak to your bank about setting up a pre-authorized transfer that automatically transfers a set amount at regular intervals throughout the year into your RSP. In addition to saving without having to think about it, regular contributions also let you benefit from dollar-cost averaging, which can help build your wealth faster. Start today and continue to track your progress: Once you have your plan in place, it’s time to move forward with your finances. Create a budget, stick to it and track your progress being disciplined with your budget today will pay off in the future. It’s important to review your financial plan regularly to ensure it continues to evolve as your needs and lifestyle change. It’s not unusual to have an event that causes a detour in your plan, but a good advisor will be there to help you make sound choices to ensure your goals remain on track. And if you’re not sure how to balance competing savings, investing and debt priorities, try out the available online budgeting tools or visit your local branch and talk to an advisor.

Taping tips

for the perfect paint job

JANE NE Flo &B niti pet

Hwy all or nth

hat’s the secret to a wonderfully painted room? Here’s a hint: it’s not the paint. A professional-looking paint job begins with a good painting tape. Not all tapes are created equal however, professionals say. To ensure maximum protection for baseboards, trim and doorways or to create sharp lines and a clean, smooth finish, make sure to use the right tape for the job.

Since tape is designed for use on different substrates, reduce the guesswork and use one that’s designed for multiple TheRentersGuide.ca surfaces, like a popular brand called Painter’s Mate Green tape. It’s made from premium paper and backed with a oneof-a-kind adhesive that creates a tight seal on a variety of surfaces.

Even though taping may seem time-consuming, it’s an important step in the painting process and is critical for protecting your surface. Here are a few tips to make the job easier: • After selecting the right painting tape for the project, apply the it in individual, one-foot sections instead of a long strip. When applied in one long strip, the tape stretches and won’t lay flat or stick properly, resulting in paint bleeding underneath. • When you lay the tape down, be sure to burnish it to ensure a tight bond to the surface. You can easily do this with a putty knife, 5-in-1 tool or credit card. • Although many tapes can remain on the painting surface for more than a week, the best results come from removing the tape immediately after you are finished painting. This prevents paint from bridging over the tape and tearing during removal. • To remove, slowly pull the tape off at a 135-degree angle toward yourself as soon as you’re done painting. • Remember – a thorough taping job will make the final results look crisper TheRentersGuide.ca and like it was done by a pro. More information is available online at www. PaintersMateGreen.com. NC.

Cater with flair on

Mother’s Day

lthough we should do our best to appreciate the special ladies in our lives every day of the year, there is one day devoted entirely to making them feel special. Whether it’s grandma, auntie, mom or wife, make this Mother’s Day a time to remember by treating her to a special TheRentersGuide.ca meal, made with that one unique ingredient money can’t buy: love.

Take a look at some tips on how to make this the best Mother’s Day yet:

TheRentersGuide.ca

• Start the day off with a smile and prepare a few of her favourite breakfast items. Modern ingenuity can help. Companies like Nordic Ware give us easyto-use breakfast utensils like their egg waffle pan and Belgian waffler, saving time and mess. • An elegant table spread always does the trick: table settings, napkins, fancy silverware or china, and all the fine fixings of an upscale restaurant help set the tone for a delicious experience. • Colourful, fresh flowers are always a win – a bouquet of these on the table before a homemade meal will surely brighten her day. • Dinner (which is often the most complicated meal of the day) can be made easy and healthy with the right equipment. Prepare stews, soups or chilli for the entire family with the large (6.5 quart) aluminum Dutch oven from Nordic Ware’s Pro Cast Traditions line. • Last but not least, spend quality time with her. We often forget that the best and most meaningful gifts are the ones that come from the heart.
