here seems to be a lot of confusion regarding leases – basically whether they’re necessary and what can be included in them. And with good reason. There are a lot of rules that govern the rental industry. The fact is, a lease is not legally required, but it is legally binding. Without one, a tenant and a landlord are still legally bound by the law. However, a lease is a good idea because it identifies and outlines the contract between the tenant and landlord and generally sets out a minimum tenancy length – generally 12 months. A landlord can include in the lease the terms, including price and list what expectations, amenities and utilities are included. Without a lease, there can be miscommunication. A lease cannot include anything that contravenes the law. Items such as ‘no kids’ won’t be enforced. However items like garbage procedures and the requirement for insurance are often clauses that are included. When you come to the end of your lease term, by law you keep the same terms, you just go from month to month (or week to week). You’re not obligated to sign a new lease, though some landlords like having the annual commitment and will ask – possibly offering some benefit in exchange. Looking to sign on the dotted line? With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Davisville The perfect midtown location b y i va n s a n d o va l

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

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

TheRentersGuide.ca

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

Want to Live in the Area?

Shopping

Check out these listings:

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

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

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

TIMBERCREEK Look forward to coming home GREAT JOB, GREAT FRIENDS – there are lots of things that make us happy, why not add ‘spectacular apartment’ to that list? While there are many great options in the city, very few will add style to your life and pleasure into your day the way Metropolitan Apartments will!! Whether it’s a bachelor, a one- or a twobedroom apartment you’re interested in, Metropolitan Apartments, at 2837 Yonge Street south of Lawrence Avenue, is offering the ideal suite to call home. Classic architecture sets the stage for your home. From gracious spaces throughout the building to well-executed floor plans maximizing square footage, the designerfinished suites are spectacular. A variety of floor plans will make it easy to find a suite that best suits your lifestyle. Imagine the great space you’ll have with rich dark hardwood strip flooring in the living areas, porcelain in the kitchen and bath, reclaimed architectural hardware,

and designer lighting. Large windows add an extra measure of sophistication and allow the warmth of natural sunlight into your suite. The gourmet kitchen is complete with stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry. Sleek and elegant with chrome accents and an Art Deco-inspired backsplash, the kitchen is a true gem in the open concept plans, while more traditional floor plans enclose this kitchen, giving it a true presence and its own domain for the chef at work. Bathrooms offer a spa-like oasis, with the continued Art Deco influence. White porcelain tile floors are complemented by the fully-tiled shower enclosure. It’s not just a looker, the Metropolitan is well thought through for modern living, with much consideration to ecoinnovation. Energy-efficient thermal glazed windows, energy-efficient water consumption, and energy-efficient appliances are some of the key features.

Timbercreek Communities is offering all this right in the heart of North Toronto. This ideal midtown location puts you steps to trendy shops, boutiques and markets. The area is known for its fabulous dining options and is peppered with cafés, pubs and bakeries. Gorgeous side streets offer mature trees and area parks are the perfect spot for a break on a pleasant day. The Lawrence Subway Station is the go-to for commuters, where a trip to either uptown or downtown is quick and easy. Other features, such as York University’s Glendon College and Sunnybrook Hospital also reside within this area. It’s a perfect package – Metropolitan Apartments will make coming home the best part of your day.

You never knew renting could be this amazing Well no more run from the car in the rain for you two!

You’re sitting on the sofa enjoying the view, wondering whether you and your husband should go out or stay in tonight. But with so many great restaurants and lounges in the neighbourhood you quickly switch to deciding between sushi or the patio at that great little new place that just opened up a block down. You both love knowing that your days of early mornings are over, because now that you live at 200 Balliol, your commute is next to nothing, and your husband works within walking distance. With the subway at the corner it’s really just a couple of stops – though if you want an extra few minutes you can do the drive in no time flat. It’s hard to believe you hadn’t considered 200 Balliol sooner. You probably saw Greenwin’s ad a dozen times but thought “That’s too good to be true. Living in that neighbourhood must be expensive, especially with style and amenities that rival a condo.” But aren’t you glad you looked into it and found you were wrong? It’s not too good to be true, because it’s a Greenwin property. After reading about Greenwin’s commitment to customer service, their excellent reputation in the industry and their constant efforts to modernize, update and pro-actively improve their properties, you both realized it was worth considering. The fact that the building is part of the Certified Rental Building Program offered enough assurance of quality –TheRentersGuide.ca it’s actually impressive to see that the building is audited by a third party to ensure that the Program’s high level of training and maintenance is being maintained. What had you sold? Was it the incredible list of amenities? I mean, who wouldn’t want to live in a community with an indoor salt-water pool and sundeck. The modern laundry rooms seemed like a real plus, and TheRentersGuide.ca underground parking was something you’d only ever dreamed about, right? 36G

I bet it was the price. You already loved the neighbourhood, with all of the great shopping, boutiques, cafés – and some great salons and spas! Not that you get to pamper much, but now that they’re only a block away, who knows! After all, they did fit you in for your spring pedi on your way home the other day, and aren’t you glad, now that the weather is finally warm and lovely? The park down the street is the perfect place for a stroll, though your husband is thrilled with it now that he’s got somewhere close to home that he can go for a jog or just walk the dog. It’s so nice to find a property management company that’s so pet friendly. The onsite team love him – and you love them too, after all, they’re so on top of your needs when it comes to customer service. And the ability to pay online, through Interac or even by preauthorized payment is unbelievably convenient. Why doesn’t everyone offer this option? When you saw the choice of suites, it was easy to find that perfect place to call home. Newly married, it was a close call between the one bedroom and the two bedroom, but being so affordable, the two really was a smart choice. While it’s a great home office for now, you can also start thinking about colours to paint the nursery. Too bad you never looked into the bachelors and the jr. one-bedroom apartments. So affordable, you could have been in this prime community all along, with gourmet kitchen, walk-in closets and a great balcony. You both love the view and have a morning newspaper and coffee ritual out there. Well, at least you’ve finally found it. And it’s too amazing to completely describe. It’s hard to imagine what’s holding others back from this fabulous midtown community. Finding out more TheRentersGuide.ca info is easy on Greenwin’s informative website www.greenwin.ca. The icing on the cake is the rental promotion – you never imagined renting could be this amazing!

It's easy being Green! We asked Gordie Wornoff, artist, environmentalist and renovating warrior who heads up the company, A Higher Plane, to reveal his top 10 tips for Green living at home. 1

Wash and reuse your plastic bags– ziplocks, bread bags, milk bags.

Start an herb garden in a front garden or flower pot container. Some herbs come back every year – sage, thyme, mint and lavender are all perennials.

$799. VISIT URBANBARN.COM

Save and reuse your plastic containers with screw-on lids. The handy-dandy person in your life can put screws, nails and other goodies in there without worries of shattering.

If you need to paint your house, try using milk paints or low-VOC paints. Most major brands offer low-VOCs and the benefit is less off-gassing of harmful toxins into your air supply.

Keep watering cans handy to pour gently used water into – water from salad spinners, hard-boiled egg water, etc. When you boil corn or hotdogs in water, use the still-hot water to pour on pesky weeds growing up through your patio pavers, driveway bricks, etc. It's a good way to lessen our reliance on chemicals.

Try fasting one day a month and reflect on some issues such as poverty and hunger, abundance and allocation of resources.

Avoid vinyl in your home because it emits harmful odours – it can be found in a lot of products. Stay away from bottled water at all costs – it is often treated the same way as city water and leads to a water-elitism that destroys natural aquifiers and could be better used by animals and farmers. If you are concerned about contaminants, get a filter and a reuseable water bottle and it will save you money.

Laundry basics By Jane Herman

hen my son moved into his apartment, he thought fabric softener was something you washed your clothes in to make them feel soft! Three years later he’s TheRentersGuide.ca become a laundry expert, and so can you, by following these easy tips that get great results, save you time and are kind to the TheRentersGuide.ca environment.

Familiarize yourself with your building’s laundry room hours and method of payment. Some companies use coins but many have moved to some kind of card system. The machines will be busier on different days and times depending on the demographics of your building. Try to do your laundry when you don’t have to wait for a machine as this can be quite frustrating. If you are waiting for a washer or dryer, be respectful of your neighbours and handle their laundry with the same care you would if it were your own. Make sure you’ve taken TheRentersGuide.ca everything out of the machine before using it for yourself and take care to not drop anything on the floor.

TheRentersGuide.ca 62G

Try to make good use of your time while your laundry is being done. Laundry rooms are definitely evolving. Some now feature comfortable lounges where you can read or use the Internet. Your building may have a nearby workout room and you might be able to coordinate your workout with the wash and dry cycles. Trying to run back up and down to your apartment every 30 minutes might not be worth the effort, especially if you have to wait for the elevator.

Sort Laundry Neatly and Efficiently If possible, buy a laundry hamper on casters with three sections, that you can wheel from your apartment into the elevator and laundry room. Use one section for lights/whites, one for colours, and one for delicates, and keep your laundry sorted as your toss it into the hamper. One red t-shirt in the load with the lights could easily run, producing a tie-dyed effect. Similarly, fabrics that produce lint, like terry towels, should not be washed with fabrics that tend to collect lint (i.e., synthetics). Only wash clothes when you have a full load to save both time and money. Consider washing delicates in the bathroom sink with a mild detergent. You can wash a few things in a couple of minutes and hang them on the shower rod or on a hanger. It’s not necessary to use the washing machine for things like fine underwear, pantyhose, thin blouses, nylon tees and tank tops and will help them to last longer.

Set Machine Controls First, adjust the washing machine’s water level to match the load size. Always check the care instructions on clothing before selecting a cycle and TheRentersGuide.ca water temperature. Select the appropriate cycle for the type of laundry you are doing (regular for

towels and heavy cottons like jeans, sweats, socks, etc. permanent press for shirts and sheets, delicates for lingerie, nylon tees, tank tops, etc.) Use cold water for washing whenever possible. 85 per cent of the energy used to do laundry goes to heating the water, when oftentimes clothes come out just fine when washed in cold water. Cold water will keep most dyes in dark or colored laundry from fading and is fine for lightly soiled clothing and especially things stained with coffee, blood, or wine, which can actually set when washed in warm or hot water.

Add Detergent Wherever possible, choose environmentally friendly detergents made from natural, biodegradable ingredients. Organic laundry detergents use vegetable oils, fruit and plant oils, and sweet smelling scents like lavender. If necessary, use a pre-treatment for stains. Instead of chlorine bleach, which can combine with organic matter in water to form toxic by-products, use a hydrogen-peroxide-based bleach. These are also gentler on fabrics and much better for the environment. Use high efficiency (HE) detergents if you have high efficiency machines. Use the recommended amount of detergent for the size of your load. For best results on top-loading machines start the washer, let fill with water, add the detergent and then add the laundry before the water fills completely. Fabric softener should be added to the rinse water during the washer’s final cycle. Or, if there is an automatic fabric softener dispenser, fill with a capful of fabric softener at the beginning of the wash with a little water to keep the dispenser clean and to avoid spotting. Or use a disposable fabric softener sheet in the dryer. A Green alternative to disposable dryer sheets are the reusable plastic and rubber ball type

softeners that are used in the dryer. Drying some of your clothes on a drying rack or on a clothesline strung across your bathtub will save energy and is also free. Constant high heat drying in the dryer makes clothes fade and wear out sooner. Don’t over-dry your clothes; towels take the longest to dry and need the hottest setting. Likewise, choose a cooler setting for permanent press.

Drying and Folding Folding as soon as the clothes (especially sheets and other permanent press items) come out of the dryer will help to prevent wrinkling and minimize ironing. Use your laundry hamper again to sort the clothes and carry them back up to your apartment. Some ironing may be necessary so wash and dry those items first and you can finish them while your other things are drying. Listening to music or watching a movie while you TheRentersGuide.ca fold can alleviate the monotony of this tedious chore.

Boomers risk straining finances to support boomerang kids: TD Canada Trust partners with family relationship expert Gary Direnfeld with advice on applying tough financial love

any parents feel the need to give financial support to their grown children well into adulthood, from welcoming them back home after graduation day to helping them pay off their credit card. In fact, one-in-five Boomers (19 per cent) admit they would consider putting their own security and financial future at risk to help support their adult children. New research from TD Canada Trust shows the majority of Boomer parents have financially supported their adult children in some capacity. They have let them live at home rent free (43 per cent), subsidized big purchases like a new car or computer (29 per cent), contributed to monthly bills like groceries and rent (23 per cent), and helped pay off their credit card or other debt (20 per cent). John Tracy, a senior vice president at TD Canada Trust, warns too much financial TheRentersGuide.ca support – coupled with mortgage payments, retirement savings, and even elder care – could put a serious strain on Boomers’ finances. “Today’s high youth unemployment, increasing post-secondary education costs and high property prices means many young people are more likely to rely financially TheRentersGuide.ca on their parents well into adulthood,” said Tracy. “As a parent, it’s natural to want 80G

to help when children struggle with finances, but it’s important this support does not compromise your own financial stability and retirement savings goals.” Family relationship expert and social worker Gary Direnfeld said a little tough love is essential to avoid a cycle of dependency and to maintain healthy family dynamics. “Some parents worry too much about being liked by their kids, but as parents it’s our job to teach our children financial independence so they learn how to cope with frustration, overcome adversity and appreciate the value of a dollar,” Direnfeld said. “Even if money is not an issue, setting boundaries TheRentersGuide.ca and knowing when to say ‘no’ from the time kids are young will help develop responsible young

TheRentersGuide.ca

people, so we don’t end up with a generation of dependent adults.” Additional advice from Tracy and Direnfeld on how boomer parents can practice tough love when it comes to family finances: 1. Have open and honest conversations “Don’t assume that everyone is on the same page; be clear on what you are and are not willing to support financially,” said Tracy. For example, if grown children move back home, will they be responsible for paying rent or covering any household expenses, and what are the implications if downsizing is a future consideration? “If the support strains your finances, share those concerns and explain the basis for your decision to cut back or say ‘no,’” Direnfeld said.“The big challenge is withstanding the initial backlash and staying firm. Depending on the circumstances, some families find it useful to seek support from a third party, like a financial advisor or social worker.” 2. Pay yourself first Tracy says it is vital to prioritize retirement savings in peak earning years, so parents should refer to their financial plan before lending a hand to their children. “Millennials have decades left in the workforce to earn money, but Boomers likely do not,” said Tracy. “If parents can’t support themselves in retirement, then they risk shifting the financial strain onto their children instead.” To make saving simpler, set up regular preauthorized transfers of a set amount into an RSP, and ideally, a TFSA for emergencies. Saving automatically can help parents resist the temptation to splurge on their children instead of saving for the future.” 3. Budget and plan for generosity Fifty-four percent of parents estimate that even though their adult children are not attending school, they provide between $100 and $300 each month in financial support. The research also TheRentersGuide.ca found 18 per cent of parents have helped their children with the down payment on their first home. Regardless of how

much support parents offer, Tracy says it’s crucial to budget for it. “Before helping with a down payment, speak with a financial planner and mortgage expert in tandem to understand the financial implications and, more importantly, to find out if all parties can truly afford to do it,”Tracy said.“If your child has saved a sizable down payment and proven they are ready to take on the responsibility of a mortgage, topping up their down payment could save them thousands of dollars in the long run if you have the means.” 4. Be a role model and teach financial literacy Tracy and Direnfeld agree that teaching children about money from a very young age can help prevent a cycle of dependency. But, for parents who feel the strain of supporting adult children today, they recommend firm but measured action. “Parents should gradually shift their role from financial aid to financial coach, and help their kids establish a plan to get their expenses under control and pay down debts,” said Tracy. Direnfeld adds that grown children need to understand independence means owning their own consequences, and he says parents should let their children learn this lesson through experience

rather than making a decision to support them out of guilt.“Being a role model is only as good as the example you set; let your children see that you hold them accountable for their own decisions,” said Direnfeld. About the TD Canada Trust Tough Financial Love Poll: TD Bank Group commissioned Environics Research Group (www.environics.ca) to conduct an online custom survey of 2,155 Canadian parents who have adult children not attending school. Responses were collected between January 10 and 25, 2013.

Communication

Is Key In Good Landlord / Tenant Relationships

By ted whitehead Being an educated consumer is wise these days, and when shopping for a rental apartment, there are many things to look for that indicate your choice is a good one. Your most powerful tool is communication – before, during and after you make your decision and move in. You can tell a lot about an apartment building from your first visit to inquire about vacancies. Are you greeted by friendly, polite, cordial office staff? When you ask questions – and you should ask many – do you receive satisfactory answers? Is the rental office clean and organized, and can the staff members produce requested documents quickly? Pleasant interaction with staff is important on a day-to-day basis. How you are treated at the outset reflects how you will be treated once you are a tenant. “Tenants want professional and courteous property management staff, and in turn the latter group is looking for good, responsive tenants,” says Charlesy Brunne, Director of Operations - GTA for Minto Apartment limited “The CRBP ensures that each property manager has effective two-way communication policies and processes in place.” When you move in, your building manager should provide you with information on how to make general inquiries/complaints, and how to make maintenance requests. If they do not provide you with this information readily, then ask them to explain to you what policies they have in place for dealing with these types of general tenant inquires. If they cannot articulate to you clearly what their complaint/maintenance request policies are, then you may want to raise a red flag about whether this is a place where you want to make your apartment home. Apartment buildings in the CRB program must have clearly documented policies and procedures in place for dealing with tenant inquiries (of any nature) and for dealing tenant requests for maintenance. Additionally they must be able to clearly demonstrate that they respond to all inquiries with two business days or less. The CRB program treats effective two-way communication between property managers and their tenants as integral part of its program. For example, if you make a verbal inquiry for a repair, you should be able to expect owners and property managers to respond within two business days. If the repair involves the landlord or property manager entering the apartment, there must be written notice given at least 24 hours before the time of entry, which should be TheRentersGuide.ca scheduled between 8am and 8pm, unless there is an emergency or if the tenant gives the landlord permission to enter ahead of time. If you receive no response, according to the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act, you should put your request in writing, date it and keep a copy. Then, if you have had no response in a reasonable time, call a municipal building inspector to look into repairs. TheRentersGuide.ca Keep a copy of the inspector’s report for your files.

If the repair still isn’t completed, you can contact the Investigation and Enforcement Unit. If this step does not resolve the problem, contact your lawyer, municipal Councillor or Community Legal Clinic. It is possible that you can apply for a rent reduction on the basis of the repair not being done, therefore representing a reduction of services in your apartment. The best results happen when staff members respond to your inquiry or request promptly and efficiently. This is the kind of professionalism required of the managers and/or landlords of buildings that complete the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) successfully. CRBP was created by the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) to help ensure a high quality of life for tenants in certified buildings. It all comes down to respect for each other. Landlords have to respect tenants’ privacy, and tenants have to respect the tremendous responsibility that landlords have to keep the building safe and well maintained. The CRBP covers this topic thoroughly. You can find the Residential Tenancies Act at www.ontariotenants.ca/law/act. phtml and at www.frpo.org and www. crbprogram.org Ted Whitehead is Director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program at the Federation of TheRentersGuide.ca Rental-housing Providers of Ontario – FRPO

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

Gorgonzola, Pancetta & Onion Quiche

Directions For the pastry, mix the flour, salt and baking powder together in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add butter and pulse about 20 times, to finely mix in the butter. Add the egg and egg yolk and pulse until the dough just begins to form a small ball. Turn out the dough and press into a disc about 1/2-inch thick. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate until ready to use. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly brush the inside of six removable-bottom mini quiche pans with canola oil or cooking spray. Roll out the pastry thinly on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles to line the 6 pans. Prick the base of the tart bottoms and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Then bake for five minutes, and remove from oven; let cool on a large baking sheet.

lthough quiche is now a classic dish of French cuisine, it actually originated in Germany in the medieval kingdom of Lothringen, later renamed Lorraine by the French. The term quiche came from küchen, the German word for cake. The original quiche Lorraine was an open pie with an egg and cream custard and smoked bacon or lardons. The addition of Gruyère cheese makes quiche au gruyère or quiche vosgienne. Quiche Alsacienne is similar to Quiche Lorraine, although onions are added to the recipe. These days, there are as many versions of quiche as there are culinary inspired chefs and home cooks. I recently picked up a set of mini tart pans with removable bottoms that inspired me to make these delicious mini Caramelized Onion, Pancetta and Gorgonzola Quiche. Caramelizing the onions gives them a rich, sweet flavor that compliments wonderfully with the salty crisp pancetta. Add some flavourful knobs of Gorgonzola cheese and you have a mouthful of flavours that blossom beautifully in the savoury custard and buttery crust – the perfect addition to any brunch or luncheon buffet.

Melt the butter in a heavy frying pan and then add the chopped onions. Cook over low heat, stirring often until onions are very soft and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Add the pancetta into the pan and cook over medium heat until crisp and browned, about five to seven minutes. To compose the quiche, divide the cooked onions and sprinkle into the bottom of each of the quiche, followed by the pancetta. Break apart the Gorgonzola and divide into the 6 pans, then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Finally, sprinkle the parsley evenly over the onions and cheese. In a bowl, beat together the cream and egg yolks until light. Add the chopped rosemary and cracked pepper. Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly into each mini quiche leaving just a little room to expand. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned and set, and let stand five minutes before serving.

Caramelized Onion, Pancetta & Gorgonzola Quiche ingredients Makes 6 mini quiche › 1 large onion, peeled and chopped TheRentersGuide.ca › 2 tbsp butter › 1/2 cup diced pancetta or thick bacon › 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese, diced › 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese › 5 tbsp finely chopped parsley › 1 cup heavy cream › 1/2 cup whole milk TheRentersGuide.ca › 5 large egg yolks

› 2 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary › cracked black pepper Savoury Pastry Dough: › 1 1/2 cups flour › 1/2 tsp salt › 1 tsp baking powder › 10 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces › 1 large egg › 1 large egg yolk

YOU NEED

AN ESTATE PLAN B Y GAI L VAZ -OX LADE

ou’re gonna die. Pardon my bluntness, but it’s an indisputable fact: You’re going to die. And, perhaps if I am blunt, all you people out there who have yet to face your ultimate demise, even conceptually, will pay attention.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Since we’re all going to die – you’re not still arguing this point, are you? – it only makes sense that we all take the steps necessary to prepare for it. That means making a will and deciding what will be done with our remains. It also means making sure that if we are incapacitated, we leave someone able to speak on our behalf, both financially and medically. All in all it means creating an estate plan. Many people see estate planning as a rich-folks activity. With all that money to divide and all those squabbling heirs to quiet, a plan is in order. Yes, rich people do pay a lot of attention to how their affairs will be handled when they can’t do the bossing around any more. And if you want to take a page from their book, you might want to look at what could happen if you don’t pay attention. Follow me for a minute down Worst-Case Avenue. You and your hubby were in a car accident, and now you’re in a coma. You haven’t executed a financial power of attorney, so no one can touch the money in your bank account. Even as your sick leave or disability income accumulates by automatic deposit, your life insurance lapses (no one can write the cheque), your loan renewal goes un-renewed and your kids’ tuition remains unpaid.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Assuming you make a full recovery from your accident, at best you’ll find your life in a shambles. Shufﬂe off this mortal coil and not only will your family be devastated emotionally and financially, your government will step in to decide who gets what.

TheRentersGuide.ca

N c p

A s b a P – o P m w m c

I a

finances be disabled and financially dependent, a trust is irreplaceable. Do You Need a Lawyer? Yes. Yes. Yes. I know there are Will Kits available. I know they are cheap. But ya know what they say: you get what you pay for. Estate planning is one of the last bastions of complicated and opaque language. If you don’t have an expert who specializes in legal gobbledygook, you may not get what you want. Here’s an example of what I mean. Let’s say you make your own will in which you say,“I want all my money to go to my wife.”What do you mean by money? Do you mean the money in a specific bank account? And what happens if you change banks later on? Or if you change wives in all but the legal sense? The term household contents can also have myriad meanings while “wife” may have only one. Do your household contents include your very valuable stamp collection? The car in the garage? Your grandmother’s diamond ring? If you think that’s picky, wait till you see what can go into the naming of a beneficiary.

Not a pretty picture, is it? And all this can be avoided by creating an estate plan. An estate plan consists of a will, which says how you want your assets to be distributed, along with powers of attorney (POA). There are two types of POAs and they both have to be enduring – a legal term meaning they have to outlast you – to be useful. A financial POA identifies who will manage your money and under what circumstances while a medical POA identifies who will make your health-care decisions if you can’t make them for yourself. TheRentersGuide.ca If you have kids, your estate plan should also include a guardianship appointment

so your kids end up being raised by someone you like. You might also include a trust as part of your estate plan. A trust describes a relationship that exists when one person (the trustee) holds title to property on behalf of another (the beneficiary). A living trust is created when the settlor (the person giving the money or stuff or whatever) is alive. When a trust is set up through a will it’s called a testamentary trust. Whether you wish to protect a same-sex partner from the prying eyes of family that hasn’t been so willing to accept your alternate lifestyle, or you want to save your spendthrift child from his financial demons, a trust can do the trick. And if you’re trying to protect a child who may

If you’re still hesitating about creating an estate plan because you don’t want to spend the money, know that what you save today you’ll make up for in taxes and fees later on, and then some. A good estate plan will distribute your assets tax-efficiently, while minimizing fees. It takes some thinking. It can be a little unnerving. But it’ll also make it easier on the family you leave behind. It’s a grown-up thing to do, so grow up and do it.

Online investing and saving made easier What can a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) do for you? • Helps you save regularly and reach your investment goals sooner by paying yourself first with cash contributions in regular, easy-to-manage installments; • Saves you the stress of coming up with one large sum of cash when you are close to a registered account contribution deadline; • Alleviates the time and effort involved in personally transferring funds on a weekly,

he key component of achieving your investment goals is the habit of saving regularly. It is very easy to forget about savings as we focus on paying our bills, or to let saving regularly fade as our expenses creep up. One way to overcome this tendency is to pay yourself first and do this automatically through a pre-authorized contribution plan.

“It’s now easier than ever for online investors to save regularly through TheRentersGuide.ca pre-authorized contributions,” says Michael MacDonald, vicepresident of strategy at RBC Direct Investing. “Automatic

Also, some online brokerages offer fee structures that allow for the waiving of maintenance or administration fees when you set up a PAC or when you meet a minimum asset threshold.

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.

TO PACK, OR NOT TO PACK â€Ś By Dan Hopkins

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

moving

â€Ś

Moving is a very personal thing and people who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Take packing, for example. Some clients want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turn key solution where the mover does it all. There are, of course, advantages to each approach, so it is important to choose whatâ€™s best for you. The Professional Packer Most who choose to pack themselves do so because it saves money on the move. That is true only if the items make it from Point A to Point B in one piece. Moving companies will not be responsible for items damaged because of poor packing. The most critical element in packing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during transit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to your new home or business. Accessories such as lamps may seem to be packed

well, but may shift inside the carton and break or chip as a result. Professional packers have the experience to know exactly what is best for various categories of items, depending on the size and distance of the move, and they pack accordingly. They can also provide excellent advice on how to mark your boxes for ease of unpacking, and on the items to pack last and unpack first. Having your mover do the packing offers you the peace of mind in knowing that if the unexpected happens, your possessions will be repaired or replaced. TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

moving The DIY Packer At Two Men and a Truck, trained packing professionals help clients with as much or as little of the packing and unpacking as required, and we sell a full range of packing supplies. Those who are willing and capable of packing themselves need to consider the proper materials and containers that will help to ensure a successful move. There are also significant considerations to keep in mind, such as not packing explosive or flammable items in the general boxes. Although you can obtain boxes from places like grocery stores, check with your mover, who may sell proper packing materials that will save you work and worry. Some of the items you will need are tape dispensers, newsprint, markers, pads and bubble wrap â€“ and there are many sizes and strengths of boxes available. There is a 1.5 cubic-foot box that is often referred to as a book or record box. Itâ€™s fairly small and is designed to hold small, heavy items like food jars or cans, flatware, CDs, etc. The next size up is a lamp or lampshade box, which is 3 cubic feet in size. The sizes go up from there, to 4.5 and 6 cubic feet for lighter objects such as pillows and stuffed animals. These are just some of the moving materials that are available today. Whether you choose to pack your own items or have your mover do it, be sure you choose a company with a solid track record for providing topnotch service.

Top 10 Renter Issues By Jane He rman

armonious living is all about treating others with respect and TheRentersGuide.ca consideration. Start by making a concerted effort to avoid these ‘Top 10 Renter Issues.’ When you act with sensitivity to your neighbours, it’s amazing how others TheRentersGuide.ca will respond.

1. Keep the noise down. Apartment walls are notoriously thin, and people have different sleeping schedules. Remember that many people work at night and might be sleeping when you are heading off to work! Take off those clicking high heels atTheRentersGuide.ca the door and don a pair of slippers at home. Likewise, please refrain from vacuuming, power tools or hanging pictures at 10pm. Avoid exceedingly loud noise at all times, especially

TheRentersGuide.ca

arguing, playing music or watching the television at high volume. (Consider getting a pair of headphones for your home entertainment.) If you’re having a large crowd over, advise your neighbours. 2. The elevator is for everyone. Upon entering the elevator, if you see another resident running down the hall, (or an elderly resident who may not be able to get there that fast) do the right thing and hold it for them. Likewise, don’t hold the elevator unnecessarily, like while you’re waiting for your spouse/roommate to put their coat on, lock the door, and walk all the way down the hall. You know how annoying it is to wait endlessly for the elevator – especially when you’re in a hurry. And if you have children, never let them play in the elevators (pushing all the buttons and then running out at their floor is not a game). 3. No Smoking. This should be obvious. If smoking is not allowed in your building or on the floor, don’t do it. 4. Consider the environment when cooking. This is one issue that can, unfortunately, be very invasive. What smells delicious and appetizing to some can be, absolutely unappealing and overpowering to others. When cooking – especially when it’s something aromatic – please open your window so that it doesn’t smell up the entire floor. This is especially important when you’ve burned something. There is nothing worse than emerging from the elevator and finding the hall filled with offensive smells. 5. Respect and maintain common areas as if they were an extension of your own home. They are, in fact, an extension of your own home. Encountering a pile of garbage in the trash room is particularly offensive. Always put yours down the chute. And remember to tidy up after yourself in the laundry room, whether it’s used dryer sheets, spills of detergent near the washer or just your used coffee cup or empty water bottle. After using the barbecue, pool area or party room, take out all trash and leave as you found it.

TheRentersGuide.ca 6. Ensure that your pet is a good neighbour too. To prevent accidents, walk your pet regularly, and stoop’n’scoop. Not is it only the right thing to do, it’s your

obligation. Also, make sure your pet isn’t disruptive to neighbours by howling all day or barking all night. 7. Be a model citizen in the parking lot. Keep the music down. Drive slowly and carefully, anticipating seniors and children. Don’t stop or leave your car idling where it will be in the way of others. Stick to your own parking space and make sure guests only park in designated Visitor Parking spots. Even if you know your neighbour works during the day, stay out of their assigned spot. They may have to come home for a quick break and this is one major pet peeve that can drive a wedge between people. 8. Keep an eye on the time and on your laundry regularly. Don’t leave your stuff sitting in the washer or dryer after it has finished. It annoys other people who are waiting to use the machine. Invest in a drying rack and dry delicate items inside, not on your balcony. 9. Clothing is not optional! Remember to dress appropriately when taking out trash, recycling, picking up mail, doing laundry or getting something from your car. 10. Be aware of your neighbours but also respect their right to their privacy. Be cognizant of and promptly report any crimes or suspicious persons in the building. This is not just a matter of etiquette, but of communal safety. At the same time, be aware of your neighbours, but also respect their right to their privacy. This means not making their business – like when they leave and enter the building or where they are going – your business. Creating the kind of community you want to live in means treating your neighbours with the simple respect and courtesy you wish to have reciprocated. As they say, “Begin and the rest is easy.”

Enjoy ethnic cuisine at home

orgo the hefty restaurant bills and numerous takeout containers and venture into ethnic cooking in your own kitchen. Try something new and exciting with the exotic flavours found in Korean cuisine, known for its succulent and flavourful side dishes that often accompany steam-cooked rice. These side dishes, known as banchan, can TheRentersGuide.ca be anything from vegetables to meat and are prepared in a number of different ways. TheRentersGuide.ca

For an easy and approachable exotic meal at home, try these Korean-inspired barbecue short ribs. Packed with flavours of lime and sesame, these short ribs will have you swearing off takeout for good. To ensure scrumptious flavour in every bite, marinate the meat for at least eight hours, or overnight. Korean BarBecue short riBs serves: 4 Prep time: 5 minutes cook time: 10 minutes total time: 15 minutes ingreDients: 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil 2 cups (500 mL) onion, finely sliced 1 cup (250 mL) red pepper, finely sliced 1 1/2 lb (675 g) top sirloin, trimmed of fat and sliced as thinly as possible 2 tbsp (30 mL) VH soya sauce 1 bottle (355 mL) VH Korean BBQ Sauce 1/2 cup (125 mL) green onions, finely sliced

Directions:

Place green onions, lime juice, VH soya sauce, 1 cup (250 mL) VH Korean BBQ Sauce and ribs in a large sealable plastic freezer bag. Seal and massage marinade into beef to cover completely. Marinate beef in refrigerator for at least eight hours, but preferably overnight. Spray grill with Pam grilling spray and heat to high. Remove ribs from bag and discard marinade. Place ribs on grill and cook for three minutes and until beef is seared with grill marks. Turn meat over and continue to grill on the second side while basting generously with remaining sauce, another three minutes. Remove from grill and serve immediately. tip: Short ribs may also be cooked indoors on a TheRentersGuide.ca grill pan, or under the broiler. For both methods increase the cooking time to five minutes per side, baste in same manner. NC

Living for today,

SAVING FOR TOMORROW

aving for retirement may not be number one on your list, however it’s important to start saving as early as you can.

TheRentersGuide.ca

“Canadians who haven’t yet set up their retirement savings can help secure their financial future by making this the year to begin saving in earnest,” advises Amalia Costa, head, Retirement Strategies, RBC Royal Bank.“Saving money isn’t about giving up what you enjoy when you are young; it’s about planning wisely so you can afford the lifestyle you want in the future.”

M ar 18 bdr roo vac Ca

Costa suggests the following tips to help you save for your retirement easily and effectively.

Yonge Upper inc clu inc sm

Tips to help you save for retirement: Determine your goals: Consider building a plan that highlights your short- and long-term goals and priorities.

Hwy all or nth

Contribute regularly to your RRSP: Consider weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly contributions – this may be easier for you to do than making one large annual contribution. Go automatic: Consider taking advantage of an automatic RRSP contribution program or other regular investment program– this is a good way to establish a savings habit. Manage your debt wisely: Liberate funds for your savings goals by reducing your total interest costs – for example, consider paying down highest interest debt TheRentersGuide.ca first, such as credit card balances.
