EDITORS’ NOTES

hen it comes to rental accommodations, it’s important to be as diligent as possible to make sure you have a good experience from start to finish. If possible, speak to current tenants and ask about their experience. If you’re shown a model, ask to view the actual suite where you’ll be living so you can check out the view and get a sense of exactly what you’re getting beforehand so there are no surprises. While you’re renting, know your rights. Tenants are not responsible for normal wear and tear on the premises during the tenancy. The landlord is responsible for general upkeep, including wear and tear. You should be asked to fill out an Inspection Worksheet when you move in, which the landlord will sign. This is an important document to keep on hand for moving day. Consider taking photographs if there are damaged areas, or bring a video camera if you have one and tape the inspection. A little diligence now ensures peace of mind for later.

ou’ve got the reno bug. I know, it sounds like fun. A new bathroom vanity, deep mocha hardwood flooring. But you can’t. You rent. You’re stuck reading all of these great décor magazines with no way to express your inner interior decorator! I’ve got two things to say: 1) You’ll never truly appreciate how lucky you are that you don’t have to live through a renovation. It’s hard to believe, but the experience of dirt, dust and disruption really does take away from the enjoyment of the final outcome. 2) Think outside the big beige box. Sure, you may not be able to rip up floors – but there are reams of products out there that will do the trick. Floating floors – they click together and are temporary – if you move you can even take them with you to your new home and reconfigure them there! Or go with a rug or hallway runner. Since they’re not permanent you can be more daring, go with colour, pattern or texture that can easily be changed as something new in your décor mag strikes a chord. You can’t tear out that bathroom vanity, but you can spend that extra money in changing up the hardware and on really amazing accessories. If you need more storage, find a chrome trolley, the ones on casters are totally on trend. They offer great storage capacity and be adapted for use in the office, bedroom or kitchen when you want to change things up. Sometimes it’s just easier to move when there’s a lot you want to change about your space. 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!

STERLING KARAMAR

Emerald Towers – the crowning jewel of the community

It was the area that first drew you in. With your family located uptown and your job downtown, you knew you wanted something in midtown so that you’d have the best of both worlds. And the neighbourhood really does have everything! On the edge of Forest Hill, it’s that upscale elegance you want, but with the convenience you need.

The grounds of Emerald Towers were so completely welcoming you knew you’d found your spot, it was love at first sight! The onsite management made you feel at home right away, and from all that you’ve read about Sterling Karamar Property Management you feel confident in their reputation as a property management company and property owner that provides quality communities and incredible customer service. With the assurance of Emerald Towers’ inclusion in the Certified Rental Building (CRB) Program, run by the Federation of Rentalhousing Providers of Ontario, you are assured that high standards are being met – and surpassed. With the training, education and best practices of the CRB Program, plus the third party audit system, you know your expectations will be met and your needs will be a priority.

You wanted to have it all, and you got it, with the great shops along the street and at Lawrence Plaza for those lovely summer days that beg to be spent outdoors, and then Yorkdale and Lawrence Square for the days you would TheRentersGuide.ca rather stay in. With parks and greenspace throughout the neighbourhood, it was hard not to fall in love with the area – manicured lawns, tall trees and all the beautiful blooms made it an obvious TheRentersGuide.ca choice.

It’s a community you can see yourself in for many years to come. While it’s got lots of great places to go, it’s also got parks, schools and recreational facilities, places of worship – all the things you want around you when you decide to start a family. In fact, you love the selection of suites in Emerald Towers. Quite a great value, you immediately noticed how functional and well thought out the suite layouts are. Lots of closet space, lots of modern features, big windows and your

IT’S ALWAYS EXCITING TO MOVE INTO THE PERFECT APARTMENT. When you found Emerald Towers, you were thrilled because it offered everything you wanted – location, style and comfort. At number 2900 Bathurst Street, just between Lawrence and Eglinton, you knew you’d found your home.

own balcony! You opted for the onebedroom suite over the bachelor, though you can already imagine moving into a two- or three-bedroom suite one day when you start a family – but that’s still several years down the road. For now, you’re looking forward to that above ground pool this summer, and pleased that the onsite laundry is modern. Single in the city, you feel safe here. You appreciate the fob system limiting access to the building. Though the area is great, it’s always nice to have the added peace of mind. You love the convenience of the public transit at the front door, now that’s service! The commute to work is easy, though you’re equally as pleased that Allen Road is close by so that highway access is convenient. And you love the heated underground parking – shoveling snow is definitely not for you! Emerald Towers really is a gem, and Sterling Karamar made it easy to see yourself living here with an informative website, including 3-D floorplans so that you could picture your place furnished – even before you stepped foot into a suite! Videos, info and an online gallery are at www.sterlingkaramar.com, and TheRentersGuide.ca the management are always happy to help. A leasing manager can be reached at 416-534-1139.

Forest Hill City living, refined. by Ivan Sandoval

n enchanting forest of diverse colour and foliage – right in the midst of the city. Symmetrical landscaping and castle-like homes perched on the top of a sloping hill can only mean one thing – you’ve arrived in Forest Hill. A village and oasis unto its own, Forest Hill is one of Canada’s most prestigious and exclusive communities and is located at a strategic point in Toronto – where the vibrant TheRentersGuide.ca downtown core blends with the tranquility of the suburbs. Not just luxury in style and opulent architecture, but also luxury in terms of large lots, long drives, open spaces and refined spaces, Forest Hill is sublime. TheRentersGuide.ca

12G

The AREA Forest Hill, as the name suggests, is a forest on top of a hill, albeit a large forest on top of the majestic Avenue Road Hill. Casa Loma and the Spadina Museum, just outside of Forest Hill mark the entrance into the area from the south, immediately establishing the splendor that you find along Spadina Road, north past the massive Sir Winston Churchill TheRentersGuide.ca Park, and north again past St. Clair Avenue and into the heart of Forest Hill Village at Lonsdale Road.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Forest Hill follows the paths of Forest Hill and Old Forest Hill Road, roughly around Oriole Parkway to the east, just above Eglinton Avenue to the north, just beyond St. Clair Avenue to the south and Bathurst to the west. Unique architecture, full-grown trees that arch over the winding streets, quaint parkettes, little bridges over streams, intersections marked with red brick walking paths – these traits are indicative of the opulence exhibited in Forest Hill. SHOPPING Forest Hill Village, where residents carry out most of their shopping, is akin to a living in a small, exclusive village. Its private nature is due to the fact that no major streets run through the area and is thus accessed by residents that reside in the immediate neighbourhood. The local flavour is preserved because it’s not considered a tourist or shopper’s destination. Fruit markets, ice cream parlours, kitchenware, spas, florists, cafeteria’s with patios, restaurants and all major banks are found within a couple hundred metres of the main intersection of Spadina and Lonsdale. The main Forest Hill grocery, which includes a pharmacy and dry cleaners is located on St. Clair West, south of Forest Hill. Most of the rest of the city is however aware of the shopping district of Eglinton TheRentersGuide.ca West Village between Allen Road and Avenue Road, where you can find some of the best international cuisine in the

finest restaurants in the city. At the end of Eglinton West Village, you can literally be transported to the rest of the city either by subway at Eglinton West Station or by car north on the Allen Road Expressway to Highway 401. RECREATION It is no wonder that Forest Hillers are quite active as the area’s lush environment provides for an abundance of outdoor activities. Suydam Park is located just south of the heart of Forest Hill Village. A dense, tree-lined park with beautiful walking paths, it is located at Spadina Road at Strathearn Boulevard. Forest Hill Branch Public Library is located on Eglinton Avenue West while you can exercise or play sports in the immense large green spaces of two of Canada’s most prestigious high schools - Upper Canada College for boys and Bishop Strachan for girls. Living here Forest Hill has a great selection of rental communities, many lovely low-and mid-rise buildings offering charm and architectural period detailing as well as many modern buildings. While upscale and in line with the neighbourhood element of exclusivity, there are a great selection of sizes and styles which will appeal to all, from families to urban professionals, from large and elegant to intimate pied-à-terres.

Moving can be stressful for children. The change can be overwhelming, but there are ways to make it easier on them.

moving It’s important to inform your kids about the family’s plans to move as soon as you can. The more time they have to prepare, the easier it will be for them, say child psychologists who suggest that children should participate in the decision-making. If kids feel included and take ownership of their new-home decision, the transition will go much easier. Moving is a family process so share the excitement and responsibilities with every member of the family. Give everyone an age-appropriate responsibility. Kids will enjoy decorating their moving boxes. And when you are in your new home, it will be easier for them to find their stuff. Throughout the move, stay as upbeat and calm as possible. Give your children a chance to express their feelings and try to be honest about your own feelings. Most children will feel some anger, sadness or may worry about the move. Reassure them they aren’t alone and it’s OK to have these feelings. Involve your kids in the packing process and start packing items you will not need ahead of time. Sentimental items your children treasure such as special blankets, beloved stuffed animals and photo albums should be kept in a separate bag or box which they can keep close until moving day, and then bring with them to your new home. Plan a date to tour your new neighbourhood with your family. If it’s not a long distance, why not ride your bikes and scope out your children’s favourite activities and even fast food locations, new neighbourhood tennis courts, soccer clubs, baseball associations.

emails and addresses of important people in their lives. Prepare cards that have their name and new address on them to hand out to friends. If you are moving within the same city, try to schedule a few play dates with their friends before your move day.

Check with the local school PTA to determine if there is a Welcome Wagon program, arrange a tour of their new school and meet the teachers ahead of moving day.

Give your kids an inexpensive digital camera to take as many pictures as possible of their friends prior to moving day. This way, they’ll have a reason to stay in touch as they share the photos.

Make sure children say goodbye to the important people in their lives. Help them prepare a list of phone numbers,

Keep them involved with the sports teams they were associated with until the end of the season, so they

can maintain their friendships while they make new friends in their new neighbourhood. Child psychology experts agree that if kids know they can stay in touch with friends and loved ones, it will make the move less traumatic.

Security

is everyone’s business By Jane He rman

enerally, it’s the building owner and management who are responsible for the security of your building. The Residential Tenancies Act notes that the building’s windows, doors, locks and lighting must be in a good state of repair. The safety of your neighbourhood can also have a significant impact on your building’s security. However, residents can also help to ensure that the building is safe and secure. Be alert and help to prevent dangerous situations before they occur.

Residents have a right to expect TheRentersGuide.ca

reasonable protection, both inside their apartments as well as in common areas such as parking garages and elevators. This includes proper lighting in lobbies, corridors TheRentersGuide.ca

50G

and laundry facilities, and deadbolt locks on doors and window locks. Responsible landlords maintain and fix security problems, such as burnedout lights, and deal with complaints about suspicious activities or broken security items. Check out the condition of security features when apartment hunting and after you move in. If you notice that any of your building’s safety features are broken or malfunctioning, report them immediately to the management. One of the most important ways to help keep your building safe is to restrict and prevent access to the building by persons who are not authorized to be there. This can create serious potential security risks. Do not be afraid to question someone who is waiting for you to buzz them in.

Burglars have been known to pose as delivery people to gain entry. Though the convenience may make it tempting, you should never make a key for friends or family members, or give out your building access code or card to anyone who does not lawfully reside in the building. Relationships change, friends come and go – there’s no need for someone with whom you are no longer involved with to have access to your home, raising safety concerns for both you and other residents in the building. If you have any concerns or notice anything suspicious, be sure to contact the appropriate TheRentersGuide.ca person as soon as possible, be it the superintendent, building management, or even the police.

TheRentersGuide.ca

To help keep your building safe and secure, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation recommends that you: »»Report any security concerns or problems to the building manager »»Do not disable security features. Safety latches on windows keep intruders out – and children in.

Likewise, beware of tradespeople or security personnel who knock on your door unannounced. »»If you live near the ground and you like to open your windows, make sure they do not open wide enough to let someone through. »»Keep your door locked at all times, even when you are in your apartment. Remember to lock you apartment

»»Do not prop exit doors open. These are designed to stay closed for security and fire safety.

when you step out to do something in the building, like transfer your laundry, get the mail or take out the recycling.

»»Do not hold the door for a stranger to enter. Be wary of strangers who linger around the front door and dash to hold the door open after it has been unlocked.

»»Keep your balcony doors locked at all times. If they are not equipped with a good deadbolt lock, make sure to keep a sturdy bar in the door’s track to prevent it from opening.

»»Do not give your apartment keys or passcards to strangers or tell strangers the access codes to the building or amenities like the pool, gym, underground garage or other entrance. »»Do not let anyone in to do work in your apartment unless you, the TheRentersGuide.ca landlord or building manager has previously arranged for the work.

»»Do not leave bicycles or other personal items on your balcony, especially if you are on a ground or low floor – thieves can easily climb

a ladder to steal them. Conceal and store items you cannot store inside. Thanks to modern technology, security systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Security pass cards and innovative key fob passes are issued to residents in many buildings. These can be enabled and disabled remotely by the administration, thus limiting building access to tenants

who presently reside in the building. Security cameras are commonplace, but in many buildings residents can see who they are buzzing in on a designated channel in their own apartment. But sometimes just oldfashioned precautions, awareness of one’s surroundings, and consideration for others in the community can also help to be effective in creating a safe and secure living environment.

quicktips

taking back time by Hellen Buttigieg

You only live once. Life is too short. Time

is money. Don’t waste my time. There are all kinds of clichés about time, and the sad part is, they are all true. The time you waste is time you will never get back. Spending time on tasks you don’t enjoy is practically a crime. Be conscious of the way you spend your time and streamline tasks to save time where you can. That extra time can be used for the better things in life. As John Lennon said “Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.” Find it fast by clear labeling You can retrieve anything you need quickly and effortlessly when you store related items in clear (see-through) containers and label the contents with large, easy-to-read labels. You can create labels using a label maker, computer-generated adhesive labels or handwritten shipping labels attached with clear packing tape (use a thick black marker). Time management I’ve always maintained that the task expands to fit the time allotted for it, especially for perfectionists. But there is a point of diminishing returns on the time invested. When you begin a task or project, decide how much time it’s worth spending on the activity and stick to that (set a timer to help keep you on track). Understand your high/low energy periods and schedule your daily tasks accordingly Tackle tough tasks during high-energy periods and less-demanding tasks during low ones. Also consider your work style when planning your day; do you work best in short bursts or long stretches? You’ll be amazed at how much more you can accomplish by keeping your style in mind when planning your daily activities. What is your time worth? Do you wish you had more time yet find yourself spending time to save money? If you spend hours doing unpleasant tasks that you could hire someone to do, or drive across the city to save a few dollars on a grocery store special, you are squandering a precious commodity. Average people TheRentersGuide.ca spend time to save money; successful people spend money to save time. Look at it this way: You can always make more money but you can never have more than 24 hours in a day. Before doing any task, get into the habit of asking yourself what it’s costing you in terms of your time and weigh the return on TheRentersGuide.ca that investment. 70G

An extra hour I was listening to the radio when the announcer asked “If you had an extra hour in your day, what would you do with it?” My first thought was that another question needs to be asked before I could answer that one, and it is: “What can you do to free up an extra hour in your day?” I decided to hire someone to do my bookkeeping so I could free up time to take my dog for a leisurely walk instead of rushing. I challenged my daughter with this question and she decided to give up watching “Survivor” this year so she could learn a dance solo for the studio’s competitive program. How we spend our time is our choice; we need to choose consciously. So, “what can you do to free up an extra hour in your day?” Save steps Store items near the place you use them. For example, I keep a bottle of vinegar and water and a roll of paper towel in the kitchen and in each of the bathrooms. When a quick cleanup is required, it takes less time and energy because the supplies are handy. One of my most-often used items in the house is a basket I keep in the hall closet on a shelf at waist height. I toss my keys and sunglasses in it so I never have to go searching for them when I’m rushing out the door. I also have a drawer there for my dog’s leash and bags – so handy! Find it fast It’s easy to forget where we put the items we don’t use on a regular basis. Create an inventory that details the storage location of items you use only on a seasonal or occasional basis. Keep the document on your computer with a shortcut on your desktop. As the list grows, you can always find the information quickly by using the Edit/Find feature in MS Word. Now you never have to worry about remembering where you put your passport! Consolidate tasks to save time For example, return calls and emails in batches rather than interrupting yourself throughout the day.

Scrumpdillyicious

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

Lemon Posset and Lemon Pistachio Shortbread Lemon Pistachio Shortbread ingredients Makes about 40

› 2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened › 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp icing sugar, sifted › 1/4 cup lemon juice › 2 lemons, finely grated zest › 1 tsp vanilla extract › 1 3/4 cups + 1 tbsp all purpose flour, sifted › 1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped › 2 tbsp cornstarch, sifted › 2/3 cup icing sugar for garnish, sifted Directions

emon Posset is a traditional British dessert that was based on a drink popular during the Middle Ages, when access to lemons was a sign of wealth and power. Known simply as Posset, it was originally made with milk beaten with eggs, sugar, and spices and curdled with ale or wine. Over the centuries, the word posset has come to mean a simple pudding, and although this recipe is over five hundred years old, the hallmark of any great dish that has stood the test of time is simplicity, and Posset is no exception, containing just three ingredients: heavy cream, sugar and lemon juice. Simple, elegant and deliciously tangy, Lemon Posset delivers great results with very little effort. Similar to Italian panna cotta which is made with milk, Posset is made with cream for a more velvety, rich and smooth texture. Made in a matter of minutes, then left to TheRentersGuide.ca chill, this rich tangy and creamy lemon curd-style dessert is delicious garnished with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh Ontario wild blueberries, and a flurry of lemon zest. Serve with one of the great pleasures of life – buttery Lemon TheRentersGuide.ca Pistachio Shortbread. 90G

Lemon Posset ingredients

Makes Four 4-oz servings Adapted from a recipe by Gordon Ramsay

› 1 1/3 cup English double cream (48%) or whipping cream (35%) › 1/3 cup caster sugar

Place the butter and icing sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for eight minutes or until pale and creamy. Add the lemon juice, zest and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the flour and corn starch and beat just until a smooth dough forms. Add the chopped pistachios and mix until well blended. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Divide the dough into two parts, and roll each into a log about two inches in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and referigerate for at least two hours or until firm.

› 2 lemons, juiced Directions

Pour the cream and the sugar into a small saucepan over a low heat and bring to the boil slowly, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Once it comes to the boil, let the cream bubble for three minutes, stirring continuously. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the juice of one lemon, stirring the mixture thoroughly as you do so. It should start to thicken instantly. Taste the mixture and add a little more lemon juice if it’s not tart enough. The Posset should be sweet, tangy and creamy. Allow to cool for about five minutes, then pour into individual glasses, pots or decorative bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least three hours or overnight. If the Possets are very firm, take them out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to soften. Serve with Lemon Pistachio Shortbread Cookies.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. When the dough is chilled, use a sharp knife to cut 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick disks from the log. Bake on a parchment covered baking sheet for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool about five minutes, then gently toss the warm shortbreads in the extra icing sugar and allow to cool completely on wire racks.

to fInancIal blISS: Insurance tips for newlyweds

00864

Say ‘I do’

udding flowers may be the obvious sign of spring, but it also marks that time of year when thousands of Canadians walk down the aisle and start building a new life together. From wedding dress fittings to guest lists, it can be easy for couples to forget how saying ‘I do’ affects their personal finances. “Getting married is one of life’s biggest milestones, and an important opportunity for couples tying the knot to reassess their financial plan and insurance needs,” says Dave Minor, vice president, TD Insurance.“While insurance may not be the most exciting part about planning a wedding, it’s a necessary step to take now to avoid big headaches in the future.” Minor recommends newlyweds say ‘I do’ to the following insurance tips: • Think long term: Thinking about what you would do if something were to happen to you or your partner is hard, but if you’re serious about building a life together, it’s time to get some of the tougher topics out in the open. Consider purchasing life and critical illness insurance while you’re young and healthy to take advantage of better rates that will save you money in the long term. • Don’t lose your sparkle: Your engagement ring, wedding bands and some wedding gifts may not be covered by your existing home or renter’s insurance, so it’s important you contact your insurer to see if you need to arrange for additional coverage for these items. •TheRentersGuide.ca Cover your honeymoon: Getting sick or injured on your honeymoon isn’t only bad timing, it can be very expensive. Look for travel insurance that offers 24/7 assistance and more than $1 million of emergency medical coverage, and be sure to read your policy carefully so you understand exactly what you’re covered for. TheRentersGuide.ca

• Combine policies for discounts: Now that you’re married, you may be eligible for discounts if you combine your renter’s and auto insurance with the same insurance provider, and many providers offer a multi-vehicle discount if you insure more than one car. TheRentersGuide.ca More information about insurance is available online at www. tdinsurance.com. NC.

An apartment home is A “home” for renters B y T ed Whi T ehead

or most of us, home is everything. When we’re in our homes, we feel comfort, a sense of familiarity and belonging. it’s our haven, our refuge from the hectic day-to-day lives most of us lead today.

For those who rent rather than own, that need is not diminished. Walking into an apartment should be a relaxing, pleasant experience – which is why selecting a building that is clean, well kept and professionally run is important. With this in mind, a few years ago the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) created the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) to help apartment shoppers zero in on excellent residences more easily. In a nutshell, the CRBP promotes best practices in operating apartment buildings in Ontario. The idea is to offer consumers an easy, recognizable way to find top-quality residences in their search for an apartment home, and from the feedback we’ve had, it’s working. When shoppers see the CRBP certification logo displayed, they know that they are looking at a building where the living conditions are safe and efficient, and where customer service is considered a priority. The logo tells you that the property manager and staff practice more than 38 established building management and customer service standards. To be certified, applicants must complete and pass the training and education component of the program, which covers everything from safety procedures and building code compliance to knowing the Human Rights Code and what is expected for information and privacy law compliance. Participants cover the requirements of meeting CRBP’s Standards of Practice and learn how and why upholding them improves operations and customer service. Annual random-audit site inspections ensure that the professionalism of the program is being upheld. To provide even more peace-of-mind to renters who select TheRentersGuide.ca a CRBP building, FRPO enlisted J.D. Power and Associates to conduct all the building audits for participating companies. This well-respected third-party independent performance measurement firm conducts unbiased surveys of customer satisfaction, product quality and buyer behaviour.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Judging from last year’s results, we’re on the right track with CRBP.

In 2011, the J.D. Power Canadian Resident Survey results indicated that: 74 per cent cite building certification as ‘somewhat’ or ‘extremely’ important in their decision to rent; 26 per cent are aware of the CRB Program administered by FRPO (one in four prospective renters cited the CRB Program as a part of their decision criteria in choosing a rental home); and 80 per cent ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ will recommend their building to others if it was certified (compared to 77 per cent for all Ontario residents). Tenants deserve to live in buildings that are well-run, well-managed, are kept clean and maintained professionally. They also have the right to receive courteous, prompt service from qualified staff and contractors. Tenants’ rights are stipulated in the Residential Tenancies Act, which has honesty, integrity and professionalism as its foundation – as does the CRBP. CRBP standards are high, and rightly so. After all, we’re talking about your “home.” For information on a variety of topics regarding renting an apartment in Ontario, visit www.frpo.org and www.crbprogram.org Ted Whitehead is director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program TheRentersGuide.ca (CRBP), Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO).

Who really manages household debt?

Men and women have different opinions, suggests Manulife Bank survey

According to Manulife Bank of Canada’s recent debt survey, just over half of women (54 per cent) but only 39 per cent of men in two-adult households indicate that responsibility is equally shared when it comes to managing household debt. In cases where respondents don’t feel responsibility is equally shared, both men and women are far more likely to indicate that the responsibility lies with them rather than with their partner. Slightly over half (56 per cent) of men and a third of women (36 per cent) state that household debt is managed by“mostly me” or “only me.”Conversely, only 10 TheRentersGuide.ca per cent of women and four per cent of men indicate that household debt is managed by “mostly my partner”or “only my partner.” Interestingly, virtually no men indicate debt is managed by“only my partner.” TheRentersGuide.ca

Differing perceptions about who is responsible for debt-management within the relationship could reflect a lack of communication, making it difficult for homeowners to become debt-free. “The good news is that, in general, most people feel they have some responsibility for managing household debt,”shared Doug Conick, President and CEO of Manulife Bank of Canada.“However, the results seem to indicate that many couples might not be discussing debt with one another. I strongly recommend that any Canadians who don’t have a plan for becoming debt-free reach out to an independent financial advisor for personalized debt management advice.” The survey also looked at attitudes by age group and found that respondents in their fifties are more likely to report shared responsibility for debt management (52 per cent) while those in their thirties are less likely to do so (43 per cent). Regionally, Quebec (53 per cent) and Alberta (52 per cent) homeowners were most likely to indicate shared responsibility for managing debt

while Ontario (42 per cent) homeowners were least likely to do so. Women are more concerned about debt, less optimistic In general, women appear to be more concerned about debt, but at the same time they are less confident about being able to reduce or eliminate it. Slightly more women (81 per cent) than men (75 per cent) listed “being or becoming debtfree”as a top financial priority. Men and women place relatively equal importance on being debt-free at retirement - with about eight in 10 indicating this is a high priority. However, more men (55 per cent) than women (49 per cent) are confident that they’ll achieve that goal. This perception may be influenced by recent experience, with fewer women (47 per cent) than men (54 per cent) indicating a reduction in debt over the past 12 months. Moreover, women appear to be more averse to the idea of retiring with debt TheRentersGuide.ca outstanding - 60 per cent indicate they would find this scenario very stressful compared to just 42 per cent of men.“In

TheRentersGuide.ca

many households there’s a discrepancy in attitudes, perceptions and expectations between couples with regards to debt, likely because they are either managing their own personal debt separately or just aren’t talking enough to one another about finances,”added Mr. Conick. The survey found that the desire to be debt-free at retirement is relatively consistent across Canada. However, respondents in BC and Quebec (each at 57 per cent) are most confident about achieving that goal while residents of Atlantic Canada (44 per cent) are least confident. Debt-reduction is a priority and most are willing to reduce spending - just not on technology More than three quarters (77 per cent) of Canadian homeowners indicate that it’s very important for them to reduce their debt in the next 12 months, but only 56 per cent feel they’re likely

household furnishings/appliances (42 per cent) and dining out (41 per cent). “Finding and reducing non-essential expenses is a good first step in tackling debt.”said Mr. Conick. “Another great strategy is to make your money work harder by organizing your finances more efficiently.” The survey found that nearly a third (31 per cent) of homeowners list the interest rate on their debt as a factor making it difficult for them to become debt-free. “Given our current low interest-rate environment, an easy way for many homeowners to reduce interest costs might be to simply consolidate their debt at a lower rate.” While respondents in all regions indicate they are least willing to cut back on phone/internet/cable, they differ somewhat on which discretionary expenses they are most willing to reduce spending. Atlantic Canadians (50 per cent) and Ontarians (44 per cent) are

Men and women have different perceptions on who manages household debt A lack of communication could make it difficult for households to become debt-free Women more concerned about debt and less confident about reducing it Despite a desire to reduce debt, remaining “wired in” important to Canadians to achieve this goal. This relative lack of confidence may reflect experience over the past year. Nearly a quarter of respondents (24 per cent) report an increase in debt over the past 12 months and a further 15 per cent report no change in their debt over that time frame. Regionally, homeowners from BC (56 per cent) and Atlantic Canada (54 per cent) are the most likely to report a reduction in debt over the past 12 months. Homeowners in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are the most likely to report an increase in debt over the past year (30 per cent). When asked what types of discretionary spending they would be willing to cut back on if it would help them become debt-free sooner, only 12 per cent of homeowners would be willing to cut back on phone/internet/ cable services - reflecting the increasingly “wired in” nature of our society. At TheRentersGuide.ca the other end of the spectrum, the discretionary spending categories people are most willing to cut back are

most willing to cut back on dining out. In Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, 48 per cent indicated they’d be willing to cut back on household furnishings/ appliances. Women and men differ somewhat in this area as well. Women are more apt to reduce spending on household furnishings (45 per cent), dining out (44 per cent) and entertainment (39 per cent) than men (40 per cent, 37 per cent and 32 per cent respectively). The overall results of this survey seems to be that the goal is to ”want to be debt-free, but that they’re not necessarily talking with one another about how to get there,”remarked Mr. Conick.“To avoid carrying debt into their pre-retirement and retirement years, it’s important to get a debt-management plan in place.” About the Manulife Bank of Canada Debt Survey The Manulife Bank of Canada poll surveyed 2,127 Canadian homeowners in all provinces

between ages 30 to 59 with household income of more than $50,000. The survey was conducted online by Research House, an Environics company, between August 13-23, 2012. Full survey results, including additional regional, gender and age-group comparisons, are available at manulifebank.ca/debtresearch.

While more than half (57 per cent) of Canadians are comfortable with their debt levels, a significant amount (35 per cent) think they have borrowed too much. However, an overall “The bullish attitude about prospects and earning power demonstrates resolve to reduce isn’t translating into results. a sense of optimism not commonly felt in the last five years,” says Andrew Smee, director in Consumer Lending Practice at PwC. “Still, Regardless of the loads they carry, the majority of we’re not completely on solid ground yet, and it’s important for both respondents (63 per cent) said last year that they consumers and banks alike to remain cautious about lending and intended to take steps to reduce their debt.

Travel Insurance Planning ahead means no pocket-ache later

B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

lanning to scoot south for a little adventure this summer? Hopping across the country to see family and friends for a break? Taking a short drive to do some shopping south of the border? I’m willing to bet dogsto-donuts that you haven’t bought travel insurance. TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

You probably think you don’t need it. Don and Peg didn’t think so either. They knew their provincial health insurance would cover them if they got sick. Then Don tripped on the stairs and hauled Peg down with him. Don broke his hip and Peg her shoulder. They were all the way in Australia, had to cut their three-week dream vacation short. That left their daughters back home in Canada scrambling for money to help. If you have extra coverage on that fancy-pants premium credit card in your wallet, you might think you’re immune. And if you have a health plan at work, you might think you’re insured to the TheRentersGuide.ca eyeteeth. Maybe not, even if you’re just going from one province to another. Check with your provincial plan to see what the restrictions or omissions are.

TheRentersGuide.ca

finances

You’ll have to call since most of the web sites are totally useless when it comes to describing what covered and what’s not. Check your directory’s blue pages for the Ministry of Health in your province. Your provincial plan is also going to be way off when it comes to medical costs south of the border. The average hospital room runs to $1,500 U.S. a day down south, and as high as $10,000 U.S. for intensive care.Yikes! An emergency surgical operation could cost $200,000 U.S. or more. Ohmygawd! And some hospitals won’t even let you in the door if you can slap proof of insurance or several thousand dollars down on the table. Buying insurance is more complex than you might think. Different plans offer different benefits and restrictions. One thing that can limit your coverage is a “pre-existing condition.” It could be a past medical condition that required consultation, prescription drugs, hospitalization or treatment. Or it could be an ongoing health condition. When “pre-ex conditions” are covered, there is usually a stability period. Most travel health policies will out-andout exclude any childbirth or pregnancy complications if you travel in your last trimester. Some won’t cover anything for which you were treated for up to six months before your trip – think ulcer, back problems, depression. Some plans won’t cover a medical condition for which you’re already being medicated. Make sure you shop around since you’ll find big differences in price and in the quality of coverage offered. There are a bunch of other types of insurance that go into a“travel insurance package.”Trip cancellation coverage protects you from losing the deposit if you have to cancel your trip because of a sickness or a death in the family, a natural disaster, jury duty, a cancelled conference – TheRentersGuide.ca the list goes on. Default insurance protects your money when a tour operator or other service supplier goes out of business. It’s

usually sold as part of a trip cancellation policy, but not always, so make sure you specify that you want it. Lost Baggage Insurance will pay when your checked-in baggage is delayed or lost while traveling on a common carrier or from a hotel. And Rental Vehicle Damage Insurance will cover damage or loss of a rented vehicle.

Seven Questions to Ask Before You Buy Does the plan have a “deductible” which you must pay for each claim?

Your personal property insurance may cover lost or stolen luggage.Your car insurance may provide collision and liability coverage for rented automobiles. Some credit cards offer baggage insurance. If you have a premium credit card that gives extra medical coverage automatically, make sure you read the fine print to verify what you’re covered for and under what conditions.Your employer’s health insurance coverage may extend to worldwide coverage. Again, read the fine print since a group plan may have dollar limitations that won’t cover you properly.

Can you choose the doctor and hospital or does the insurance company choose?

While most holidays go smoothly, it makes sense to protect yourself just in case. Think about what a bummer it would be if you lost your luggage. Imagine the distress if you became ill in another country. And suppose your tour operator or airline went bust? Yes, travel insurance can be expensive, but the alternative is worse. Be a smart traveler and invest some time in making sure you’re covered. Then go! Enjoy your holiday.

What is the amount of the policy coverage limit ($1 million? $2 million? Unlimited?) Is the insurance paid out in U.S. or Canadian dollars?

What pre-existing conditions are permitted and how long have they had to be stable? Does the insurance company submit the claim directly to the provincial health insurance plan or is that the insured’s responsibility? What is not covered in the plan? These are called “exclusions.” Are there specific exclusions that pertain to sports or other activities?

quicktips

decorating basics some rules you don’t want to break Some ruleS we were never taught. when it comes to home décor, there are decorating basics that many of us are not aware of. How high do you hang artwork on the wall and what about the new plasma TVs? How big a sofa should you purchase? Should you match your window treatments to the wall colour and what if you really like that fire engine red? Décor expert Karl Lohnes and Sue Rainville, director of marketing for Hunter Douglas, Canada’s leading window fashions manufacturer, offer the following input. Artwork And tVs “Never hang artwork in relationship to the height of the ceiling,” says Lohnes. “It should be hung in relation to the anchor you’re hanging it above or the floor. In a low–ceilinged room, this means you should hang your artwork about 8 inches above the anchor. In a room with high ceilings, hang pieces 12 inches above the anchor.” According to Lohnes, when hanging artwork without an anchor, the basic rule is to measure 66 inches from the floor – the middle of your artwork should be at this height. This brings the artwork at approximate “eye level” – the normal qualification for hanging art. What about the plasma televisions? Lohnes Advises: They should be hung about 40 to 42 inches from the floor to the television’s centre. When hanging art or a flat–screen television over a mantel, it should be placed three to six inches above the top of the mantel.” TheRentersGuide.ca the sofA The rule for purchasing a sofa, says Lohnes, is that it should be no longer than two thirds of the width of the room. This means that your sofa will be TheRentersGuide.ca easy to move around and you’ll have

Following decorating basics can lead to great design. Pleasing proportions and a harmonious blend of colour as well as the soft, but highly functional silhouette window shadings from Hunter douglas make the living room at left a decorating success.

room for tables alongside of it. He also suggests that tight–back sofas are the most space–efficient as opposed to deeper sofas, which take up extra space because of their large cushions. To make the room seem larger, consider purchasing a sofa with exposed decorative legs that lets you see underneath it as opposed to one with a skirted base. What about for a very small space? “Make a small space feel as large as possible with a sofa under 38 inches deep and 80 inches long,” concludes Lohnes. the window treAtments And colour “First, look at the window space itself, then the area surrounding it and, finally, the room in its entirety,” Rainville says. “If you coordinate the window fashions with the wall colour it will help visually expand the room because low contrasts keep the eye

moving around the room. To make the window or room appear smaller and cozier, use dark, warm colours and high contrast between the window and wall.” She also notes that it is good to remember that colour intensifies as you increase areas of coverage – so some brights might work best as an accent color. When combining colours in a room a good rule of thumb, she advises, is that the primary colour should be featured in up to 75 per cent of the room, the secondary colour about 15 to 20 per cent and the third colour about 10 per cent. With these simple rules, ruling your rooms and your décor should be easier than ever.

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.

Roasted Almond Focaccia Bread with Grapes and Rosemary Make your own homemade focaccia with this simple recipe that’s perfect for entertaining or an easy at-home snack. Topped with fresh grapes, fragrant rosemary, crunchy roasted almonds and a dash of sea salt, it’s a great appetizer for a party.

4 ½ tsp (22 mL) active dry yeast 1 cup (240 mL) warm water, between 110°F (43°C) and 115°F (46°C) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour, more as needed 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil, plus more for topping 3 tbsp (45 mL) sugar 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped rosemary 1 tsp (5 mL) salt 1 cup (250 mL) red grapes, sliced 2 tbsp (30 mL) rosemary sprigs ½ cup (125 mL) dry roasted almonds, roughly chopped Coarse sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper for topping

dIrectIonS:

In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water. Stir to dissolve. Add 1 cup (250 mL) flour and blend together until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour. TheRentersGuide.ca After mixture has risen, remove covering and stir in 3 tbsp (45 mL) of olive oil, sugar and chopped rosemary. Add 1 cup (250 mL) of flour and stir to blend. Add remaining 1 cup (250 mL) of flour and salt and work together into a TheRentersGuide.ca shaggy dough.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for five minutes. If dough is too sticky, add up to 1/3 cup (75 mL) more flour and knead. Dough should be slightly sticky. Coat a large bowl with olive oil. Place dough in bowl, and flip it so that it’s entirely coated in oil. Cover with plastic wrap again and let rise in a warm place for one hour, or until doubled in size. Place a rack in the centre of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Remove dough from bowl and knead for just a minute. Transfer dough to an oiled 16 by 9 baking sheet. Pull and stretch dough into a rectangle to fit the pan.

•

Use your fingers to make random indentations in the puffed dough. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Top with grapes, rosemary sprigs, dry roasted almonds, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and cracked pepper. Bake bread for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden, crisp and baked through. Rotate pan once, halfway through baking.

•

TheRentersGuide.ca Remove from toven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove from baking pan, slice into generous squares, and serve warm with extra olive oil. NC

DESIGNING WITH

black

forget “black & white,” it’s all or nothing! by YANIC SIMARD phOtOs By leni JOhnstOn

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

layering An all-black, modern furniture setting can sometimes seem a little cold. Warm it up by layering as much as you can. Load up your sofa or bed with a tonne of black cushions, I’d say a minimum of five, and put one or two on your side chairs as well. Since all of the cushions will be black, mix up the different types of fabric you use – faux fur, cotton, silk, velvet. Again trying to steer away from the “flat” black look. Another way to layer is with your area rugs. Layer one area rug on top of another, such as a 9-in-by-12in rectangular rug with a 5-in-by-7-in cowhide on top. Warming it up If I haven’t fully convinced you about designing a space entirely in black, then warming it up with an accent colour is completely fine. Black looks particularly elegant with navy blue and/or caramel tones. Infuse your accent colours in artwork, pillows, blankets and accessories.

Black is elegant and timeless, But can Be a little intimidating in large doses when it comes to home décor. Coming up with a room scheme consisting of all-black décor is about combining a different variety of elements so it doesn’t end up looking dull and lifeless. You want it to have punch and personality – here are some categorized ways to achieve that: Wall treatment Painting all of the walls in a matte black finish might have you feeling like you’re sitting in a dark hole – so I wouldn’t advise taking that route. If you’re going to paint all the walls black, go with a semi-gloss or even high-gloss finish. A true black paint that I like to use is Benjamin Moore’s Jet Black, 2120-10. To add to the black walls, why not have one feature wall using a black tone-on-tone wallpaper. Graham & Brown offers a good variety at affordable price points. One of my personal favourites is the Black Cubix Pattern. different finishes Combining a variety of different finishes helps create a more visually appealing room, in any room setting, but especially if you’re designing in a monochromatic colour TheRentersGuide.ca scheme. Bring in a variety of different materials, such as stone, glass, leather and black painted metal. A reflective accent finish such as chrome, gold or copper is really hot right now. Designing with black isn’t so scary after all, is it?

Most people get a little nervous when it comes to the thought of designing with black. The funny thing is, I’ve noticed that whenever it’s done in a model home, it sends the reviews skyrocketing and has people raving at how stunning it looked! And if you do it in your home, you’ll have your family, friends and guests talking about the beauty of it for years to come.

Home furnisHings

that will stand the test of time

Shopping for home furniShingS and acceSSorieS can be a rewarding experience, but it can also drain your wallet. So when it’s time to find just the right items to furnish or just brighten up your home, you want to get it right the first time, because most of us don’t have the luxury to toss out all our purchases in a couple of years and start from scratch. So how do you know if that couch or lamp is going to stand the test of time? “Look for something that is built well, like good quality tables that are a little bit older and not mass manufactured,” says Claren Pappo, an Interior Design instructor at The Illinois Institute of Art - Tinley Park. Depending on your décor, antiques may be your best bet. You’ve probably looked at a few decorating magazines and seen your share of furniture showrooms. That may give you a starting point. “But you need to figure out what you like,” advises Heather Carter, academic director of Interior Design at The Art Institutes International - Kansas City. “Think about the connection your home has to you, don’t just follow trends.” Colour is also important when thinking about the longevity of your future. “Big furniture pieces like sofas and side chairs need to be in a neutral color scheme,” recommends Daniela Kohl, Interior Design program coordinator at The Art Institute of Indianapolis. You don’t want bright colours that you tire TheRentersGuide.ca of quickly or can fall out of fashion. Accessories, like throw pillows, can be trendier with the latest colours because they are much easier and less expensive TheRentersGuide.ca to replace. But when it comes to

lighting, you may want to splurge on something that is both functional and decorative. “Invest in great lamps; they can stand the test of time,” says Pappo. Artwork can really make your home fit your personality, and if you buy something you really like, you’ll only grow to appreciate it more over time. “Artwork has great bang for the buck,” says Carter. “Go to your local art district or art walk, find an artist you really like and buy their piece.” When picking out drapes or pillows, stick with good quality fabrics like silk or chenille, advises Kohl. Leather furniture will also stand the test of time. But don’t go for artificial leather. “It will look worse, year after year,” she says.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Finally, Pappo recommends considering how often you’ll be moving around. “Think about the flexibility of your furniture and whether the pieces you’ve chosen will work in another home with a different floor plan.”. ara

Seventh Generation and award-winninG Canadian poet Shane KoyCzan invite Canadians to join the Campaign for a Toxin-Free Generation

eventh Generation is teaming up with Shane Koyczan, the award-winning Canadian poet and spoken-word powerhouse, to ignite the movement towards a toxinfree generation this spring. Together, Koyczan and the North American brand of plant-based household cleaners and personal care products are bringing the campaign to life with a charismatic masterpiece composed by Koyczan, A Poem for a Toxin-Free Generation. This campaign speaks to a lifestyle commitment; Seventh Generation recognized the strength in Koyczan’s voice and lyrics as a catalyst to help deliver this message. Koyczan’s poetic justice resonated among Canadians last February when his animated video to abolish bullying, To This Day, went TheRentersGuide.ca viral. With more than eight million views on YouTube to date, Koyczan returns with another electrifying performance to tackle the fight for the future of our planet head on. Seventh Generation and Koyczan introduce Seven Simple Tips to Live Life TheRentersGuide.ca More Toxin Free:

1windows in your house for five Once a week, open all the

minutes. Like you, your house needs to breathe. No matter the season, open all the windows in your house for at least five minutes once a week to release the vapors and bring in the fresh air.

Avoid recycling receipts. They may look like paper and feel

like paper, but they shouldn’t be recycled like paper. They could contain BPA (Bisphenol A) that will contaminate the other recyclables in TheRentersGuide.ca the mix. Either throw receipts into the trash or go paperless to avoid them all together.

TheRentersGuide.ca

“

containers for lunches 3andUsefoodglassstorage. There is no situation where the phrase “could leach into your food” is desirable. Even beets leaching into our mashed potatoes become a meal-breaker for some so why tolerate potentially harmful chemicals leaching into our foods from plastic containers? Go with glass instead. Choose a good, old-fashioned mug for your morning coffee. Grinding trees into pulp, compressing them into paper and then chucking them into landfills after just one use seems, to put it mildly, inhumane. Consider switching to a reusable cup or mug. Your nose knows; trust it. If something gives off a scent that makes you cringe, it’s probably a good sign to step away. More likely than not, you’re smelling a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) and the less of those you inhale, the better. Get a plant and improve your indoor air quality. Plants like what you exhale, you like what they exhale. Symbiosis. It’s a win-win. Beware: “unscented” is not the same as “fragrance-free.” No healthy relationship is ever based on secrets and some synthetic fragrances, including the nefarious “unscented” fragrance, can contain hundreds of secret chemicals, none of which are shared with you. Improve your label literacy and be aware of what’s really inside the products you buy. Chemicals of concern take a toll on the planet and though these effects may not be seen immediately, we know they await future generations. Switching to plantbased products is a small and easy TheRentersGuide.ca change to make a difference now. If every household in Canada and United States replaced one bottle of

6 7

2.95L 2X concentrate petroleumbased laundry liquid with Seventh Generation’s 2.95L 2X concentrate plant-derived product, we could save 48 million litres of oil - the equivalent to taking 30,000 cars off the road for one year. Visit www.seventhgeneration.ca/ toxinfree to find out how to join Koyczan and Seventh Generation in the Campaign for a Toxin-Free Generation. About Seventh Generation: Twenty-five years ago, Seventh Generation started as a catalogue business selling paper goods and cleaning supplies. We remain a privately held business distributing products to natural food stores, supermarkets, mass merchants and online retailers across the United States and Canada. Over the years, the business has diversified into many categories: laundry, dish, cleaning, paper goods, diapers, wipes, adult personal care and baby personal care. Seventh Generation has grown beyond being just a plant-based cleaning company, and into a lifestyle brand that surrounds

the home, mom and baby. Through radical transparency, holistic products for people and the planet, the goal is to nurture life. Since its inception, Seventh Generation has been strongly rooted in our mission to inspire a revolution that nurtures the health of the next seven generations. The company derives its name from the Great Law of the Iroquois that states, “In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.” As a pioneer in corporate responsibility, they want our products to make a difference, from development through to production, purchase, use and disposal. To read more about Seventh Generation’s corporate responsibility, visit the company’s corporate consciousness report http://2012.7genreport.com/.s.

WHAT DO I NEED

to make preserves? BUYING PRODUCE LOCAL, NOT GLOBAL, DELIVERS DIRECT BENEFITS TO YOU, to the farmers, and to the environment, enthusiasts say. For example, the decision to purchase fruit and vegetables from a market, or roadside stand, gives you and your family fresh-picked taste and quality; it gives local farmers financial support; and it gives the environment a break from the carbon footprints caused by lengthy food transportation. Over the summer months there will be a bounty of local crops everywhere – and Canada’s trend-setting foodies tell us they will be canning and preserving as many recipes as possible to ensure such superior taste and nutrition all year. “Home canning is not complicated, but it does require some guidance the first time,” says Chef Emerie Brine at Bernardin, a leading name in this field. “Our website gives you a full overview including basic instructions, quick tips, equipment needed, recipes, plus a schedule of interactive workshops in your community. “We subject all of our recommendations to rigorous testing,” he continued. “From the Mason jar design and thermal shock resistance, to sealing compounds and pectin performance, every safety aspect is investigated TheRentersGuide.ca and monitored. Educational materials and recipes are tailored to Canadian standards and tastes. Even dietetic and allergy-related issues are factored in.”

Essentials: • Mason jars or freezer jars • Two-piece, specialized closures, called ‘Snap Lids’, or freezer jar lids • Large deep pot to prepare recipe • A canner. For high acid foods like produce, a large deep pot for boiling water, ﬁtted with rack and lid. For low acid foods like meat protein, a pressure canner is recommended. • Accurate measuring spoons and cups Useful Items: • Long handled spoons and spatulas • Ladle or handled cup to transfer recipe to jars • Canning toolkit including a non-metalic funnel, tongs • Jelly bags (if making jelly) • Wide mouth funnel • Jar lifter • Magnetic wand to lift the metal ‘Snap Lid’ • Weight scale • Hand protection: oven gloves and rubber gloves NC

TheRentersGuide.ca

To get you started, here’s a snapshot of Chef Emerie’s equipment recommendations, all of which are available where home canning supplies TheRentersGuide.ca are sold, or on the company website at www.bernardin.ca:

s consumers in todayâ€™s marketplace, we are constantly making purchase decisions. From buying simple goods and services on a daily basis, to making larger purchases such as vehicles and vacations, we strive to ensure we are getting TheRentersGuide.ca a good deal and not falling prey to fraudsters or scam artists.

Being a well-informed consumer is the best way to protect yourself in todayâ€™s marketplace. The Consumer Measures Committee (a joint committee of federal, provincial and territorial consumer protection government officials) has created the new Canadian Consumer Handbook to help you become a better-informed and more confident consumer. The handbook provides practical tips on everything from signing contracts, credit reporting, moving, and debt to identity theft. The handbook is a helpful, one-stop-shop approach to answer many common consumer questions. It includes a directory of government and non-government contacts in a variety of areas. It also allows you to create a customized version of the handbook (My Handbook) by selecting topics of interest to you and to customize contact information by jurisdiction. NC

HOW TO CREATE

the perfect kids room NURSERIES AND PLAYROOMS ON TELEVISION AND IN MAGAZINES MIGHT HAVE YOU THINKING YOUR CHILD COULD USE A MORE PLAYFUL ENVIRONMENT. Some of the more elaborate designs undoubtedly cost more time and money than you may want to spend, but don’t let that discourage you. Creating a space your kids can call their own doesn’t need to break the bank or require too much of your time. With a little creative thinking, you can transform any space into the perfect kid-friendly retreat.

Colour the walls Children are drawn to bright colours that stimulate their creativity. And, though you don’t want them taking matters into their own hands when it comes to wall art, there are other great ways to create a beautifully colourful environment. With Dutch Boy’s Crayola palette, a more fun and playful kids room is just a few paint strokes away. Featuring vibrant shades that TheRentersGuide.ca match your kids’ crayons, this palette offers an easy way to bring life into your child’s hideaway. Whimsical colours like Inch Worm, Cream Soda, Little Princess and Tropical Rain Forest TheRentersGuide.ca will instantly transform your

child’s room into a fun-filled, lively space. You don’t need to stick with one shade, either. Paint an accent wall or even do custom designs or stripes. With a few hours and a little creativity, you can quickly and easily turn the kids room in your home into a magical, youthful escape.

Fun-size furniture Adult-sized furniture can leave your child feeling like Goldilocks, so bring in some pint-sized pieces to make them believe the room is specially meant just for them. Even if your budget is tight, there are plenty of options for fun-size furniture available. Kids’ chairs and tables are great additions to help them comfortably colour, read books, do crafts and exercise their creativity – and there is no need to spend a fortune. Garage sales commonly offer kids’ furniture, which can easily be restored. Even if a find appears worn, a fresh coat of white paint and some bright chair cushions will instantly make it good-asnew for a fraction of the price. Let kids help choose the furniture, fabrics and colour to give them the feeling the space is their own and turn the restoration into a fun project.

Dreamland bedding Making sure your little one has a cozy, restful space to sleep is important, and balancing comfort with creativity is easier and less costly than you might think. There are endless bedroom options to suit every style and age, and letting children choose bedding or a quilt cover they love can make their bedtime routine go more

smoothly. Matching pillows can help create a cohesive look, and fun cushions or bright body pillows can help kids sit comfortably on the floor with a book or game. Whether they choose polka dots, bright patterns, cartoon images or solid white, a new design that’s all their own will make bed and naptime something they may actually look forward to. Don’t worry about matching the bedding to other decoration in the room - dreams are fun and unpredictable, so let your child’s preference lead the way.

Storage Crayons, and teddy bears, and games, oh my! Storing all of your child’s precious belongings can be challenging, especially if the room is small. To avoid the “warzone” look, invest in a few storage options that will improve the look of your child’s room while teaching him to clean up after himself. Closed cabinets and clear tubs are great for storing stuffed animals, craft items and action figures, while open bookshelves work well for books, games and puzzles. Open cubby systems are also a good way to teach young children organization skills while keeping their favorite toys easily accessible. Colourcoded bins can help keep kids rooms bright and youthful while keeping their things off of the floor. With a little time and minimal cost, you TheRentersGuide.ca can help transform your child’s room into the perfect place to learn, dream and play for years to come. ARA
