EDITORS’ NOTES
i
f you are looking for a new rental this summer, consider doing it sooner rather than later. Vacancy rates are exceptionally low these days in many markets, and with house prices rising and steady population growth, there are many people in the market looking to rent in a prime neighbourhood in a great building. Renters Guide is a great source for helping you find the perfect place to call home – so sharpen your pencil get ready to source the many listings and property management companies in this issue. As with any major monthly expense, it is important to do your homework before you venture out to shop the market. Know what you need and what you want. Know the answers to the following questions beforehand: • What monthly payments would I be comfortable with? • How long do I plan on leasing for? • What locations will I consider? • Does the rental property cover my needs in terms of parking, transit and other key considerations? Once you have determined this check list, be sure to shop around and compare apples with apples. The more you see, the quicker you’ll be able to determine the place that suits you best.

word on rent. Do you ever pay your rent late? A day? A week? A month? Late rent is a serious issue. The Residential Tenancies Act specifies that rent is considered late the day after it was due. Just a day or two might not seem like a problem. For most, a late payment is a small oversight or a rare occurrence. But be aware, repeated late rental payments are actually grounds for eviction. The landlord expects the rent just as any business expects payment for goods and services. You can’t tell a restaurant you’ll be back to pay the bill in a few days, and shops don’t let you take your merchandise with a promise of paying in a few weeks. The rental industry is a business. Rent money isn’t simply a profit. Rental properties have overhead and expenses. When you pay your rent, you are paying the property managers and owners to look after all of the building’s details, from property taxes to working elevators to staff wages. By paying late, you’re affecting the building’s financial footing, plus creating additional work for the management and/or landlord because now they need to contact you to follow up. If you have a problem or know your rent will be late, discuss it with them. There may be an arrangement that will satisfy both parties. But wait too long or pay your rent late too often and you may just face an eviction notice. You’re going to find the perfect apartment and we’re here to help! Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Harbourfront by Ivan Sandoval
Living with a view
Lakeside view or skyline view? That is the question that renters in the vicinity of the Harbourfront area in Toronto ask themselves when first moving to this area. Either way you go, one thing is for sure - you definitely win. Urban lakeside living in Toronto doesn’t TheRentersGuide.ca get better than on this Queen’s Quay strip at the foot of the downtown core. With Lake Ontario in front and the impressive Toronto skyline behind, nothing can possibly compare for vivid, upscale living. TheRentersGuide.ca 20G
THE AREA As the name suggests, Harbourfront’s southern border is Lake Ontario. There is nothing but water and the Toronto Islands in the distance. The CNE grounds and Ontario Place, just west of Bathurst Street, mark the western border. Jarvis Street, just before the portlands, marks the eastern border while the Gardiner Expressway Bridge
TheRentersGuide.ca marks the northern border. Within this quadrant lies the cultural and recreation centre of Toronto.
TheRentersGuide.ca
Entertainment Entertainment in Harbourfront is world class, catering to both Torontonians and the many tourists that absolutely love this neighbourhood. Within walking distance you have the Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays and Argonauts. The Air Canada Centre is home to the Toronto Raptors and Maple Leafs. Old Fort York is a classic North American museum while nightclubs such as the Guvernment and Kool Haus fit over 4,000 people for concerts and weekly events. One of the world’s tallest free-standing structures (formally having been officially listed as the world’s tallest building) – the CN Tower – soars above the neighbourhood. The Harbourfront Centre is a popular lakeside venue that hosts “events and activities of excellence that enliven, educate and entertain a diverse public.” During the summer months, Habourfront residents can conveniently enjoy the variety of concerts, festivals, art shows and craft events that the year round facility hosts. The Harbourfront is surrounded an abundance of nature trails, parks and open spaces that are easily accessible to the public. Designe in collaboration with world-famous cellist Yo-yo ma, The Toronto Music Garden is one of the many beautiful gardens that is culturally infused with an up-beat atmosphere of live music and dance. It’s the perfect place to treat a significant other to a night out. SHOPPING Along the waterfront, the Queens Quay Terminal provides a vibrant shopping strip that showcases over thirty shops and boutiques as well as galleries and restaurants. At Jarvis Street and Queen’s Quay, there are neighbourhood necessities – the liquor store and grocery superstore. Renting in Harbourfront Rentals are scattered along Queen’s Quay between Bathurst and Jarvis and the surrounding perimeters. Many young professionals and downsizers who choose to live in this area are privileged with the opportunity to not only live in the city but relax by the peaceful waterfront as well. With Union Station around the corner and the Gardiner ready to take you to the DVP, QEW or Highway 427, there is even more of a reason to consider the Harbourfront neighbourhood. A misconception about this part of Toronto is that you can only own property but this is not the case as there are ample rental apartment complexes. Luxurious amenities tend to follow the trend of Harbourfront living. Apartment buildings generally cater TheRentersGuide.ca to an active, executive lifestyle. Stylish living is standard along with exercise rooms, party rooms, designer suites and private terraces, though spectacular lake views can come at a premium.

renters’ help
Renting a
furnished apartment By Jane Herman
T
here are numerous reasons why one would need furnished accommodations, especially short term. Many lifestyles and jobs require temporary relocation, and the labour and expense of setting up shop and moving at great frequency just doesn’t make sense. Sometimes it’s a result of a change in marital status, while many new immigrants TheRentersGuide.ca find it prudent to take short-term accommodations until they TheRentersGuide.ca acclimatize to the city, and would rather take something short term while looking for the perfect permanent new home.
TheRentersGuide.ca 40G
TheRentersGuide.ca
renters’ help Though similar in accommodation, price is the biggest difference between a furnished apartment and a hotel. Another major difference is that hotel rooms do not have full kitchens and laundry facilities. Depending on the length of your stay, not having a kitchen could be a major inconvenience that would likely add considerable expense to your food budget. In addition, some furnished apartments have special amenities such as housekeeping, concierge services, onpremises spa, underground parking, conference and meeting rooms and fitness facilities.
Furnished apartments can be found in various types of buildings – from a condominium hotel to a luxury apartment building that also contains tenants on regular leases. Several of the larger landlords have furnished suites available in some of their buildings.
Apartment Association.“If no lease is signed, the agreement is simply month to month with 60 days notice to terminate required by the tenant.”But if a tenancy is week to week, the terms for ending a tenancy and giving notice is reduced to 28 days – so get it in writing.
Depending on the owner/landlord or company you are renting from, the unit can be rented on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. While there is no tax (HST) on rent in Ontario, a short-term rental accommodation (less than one year) would be subject to HST since it is similar to a hotel.
With a furnished rental you should expect all utilities – including electricity, heat, water, telephone and cable TV – to be included. Most providers also include Internet. The kitchen should have all the basic tools to prepare meals, from dishware and cookware to appliances. The bathroom should include towels, an ironing board, and hopefully at least a complimentary bar of soap and roll of toilet paper. The bedroom should include a bed, bedding and furniture. Standard furniture throughout the unit should include a couch, desk, table for eating, chairs, TV and phone. There may also be in-suite laundry.
It’s best to discuss the terms of your “lease” or short-term rental agreement with the lessor before you move in. While a lease is not required when TheRentersGuide.ca renting for less than one year,“It is always preferable,” says Brad Butt, former president of the Greater Toronto
If your needs are temporary or you have a specific and finite time period to rent, you may even be able to find a sublet, in which case you’d take over a permanent resident’s apartment for the stated duration, use their belongings and then return the space to them at the end of the agreed-upon period. People often leave for short durations, whether for school or travel, to do an out-of-town residency or other personal reasons, and don’t want to give up their apartment but would rather not pay full rent for an empty apartment, especially if they’re also going to be paying for lodgings in their temporary location. Likewise, if you’ve got to leave your home for a short period, you could consider subletting it instead of giving up your apartment and packing it all up. While the selection of furnished apartments will never be as choice as regular, unfurnished long-term apartments, and you may find the same apartment costs a little more to rent short term than it would on a lease, there’s sure to be something to fulfill your needs.

Do I really need
TENANT insurance?
T
HE SHORT ANSWER IS YES. THERE ARE A
FEW REALLY GOOD REASONS FOR HAVING TENANT INSURANCE.
For one, as a tenant you are liable – yes, legally responsible – for any harm you cause to any part of your building and to others who live or visit there. Yikes! If your faulty toaster oven starts a fire that damages not only your apartment, but also the entire complex, you may have to pay out a lot of money. You could even find yourself in trouble if your party guests get out of hand and cause damage. Then there are your possessions. You might not think that you have much of real value, but what if you had to replace them all at once, due to fire or water damage? Replacing your clothing, alone, could run you a few thousand dollars. And that old couch and bed might not look like much, but buying new ones would be hard on the wallet. When you consider what it would cost to replace everything, monthly insurance premiums may look pretty good by comparison. One more thing you might want to think about – talk to your insurance representative about getting an insurance policy that will pay for the full cost to replace what you’ve lost. The alternative is a settlement based on how much your old stuff was actually worth, given that it was old. The depreciated value may not be enough.

Code of Conduct guides actions through CERTIFIED RENTAL BUILDING PROGRAM B y Ted Whi t ehead
O
ne of the many benefits of choosing an apartment in a rental building that bears the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) distinction is knowing that the owners and/or property managers have agreed to conduct business according to a Member Code of Conduct.
it comes to the operation of residential buildings, and the Code of Conduct contains a reminder. There is also an item that covers the agreement to not discriminate against anyone on the basis of race, colour, creed, gender, sexual orientation, family status, national origin, receipt of public assistance or source of income.
This brings great peace of mind to renters, and offers CRBP members a clear, concise reminder of what is expected of them once their buildings have been granted certification status.
Beyond this point, CRBP members agree to report to the Program’s administration any laws or policies that they may find unfair or prejudicial to renters or rental housing providers.
The CRBP is managed and operated by the Federation of Rental Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) with the goal of protecting the interests of all multi-residential apartment building stakeholders – and the Code of Conduct plays a major role in accomplishing that goal.
Much of the Code of Conduct is based on the golden rule. For example, there is an item stipulating that members agree to treat their tenants with respect, and should expect to receive respect in return. All parties involved in a rental residence situation should know and uphold their responsibilities. If and when a dispute arises, the building owner or manager is expected to resolve it in good faith.
What does it mean for renters? The key word in the Code of Conduct is “professionalism.” CRBP members agree to operate their buildings with high standards of integrity and honesty – and that goes for renters, suppliers, employees and contractors. Managers and owners must do their best to make sure the apartment building is safe and secure TheRentersGuide.ca for everyone who lives and works there. Of course, members are required to comply with municipal, provincial and federal legislation and by-laws when TheRentersGuide.ca
56G
Tenants should be aware that there is a mediation service offered by the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal for cases that are not resolved adequately between the parties at the building level. Fairness is the operating principle that members agree to pursue, along with avoidance of and protection against fraud, misrepresentation and unethical practices of any kind. Another aspect of the Code includes continual education, training and communication. Members agree to ongoing efforts to uphold and
improve professional standards. This benefits everyone, from renters to managers, owners, and professional industry organizations. Fairness, conscientiousness, honesty, integrity, respect – these are the concepts that form the basis for the CRBP Code of Conduct. These are excellent values that should guide all business interactions, and in fact, life in general. The bottom line result for tenants is improved communication with their building manager and/or owner, as well as a better quality of life for all parties. A copy of the Program’s Code of Conduct is available by sending an email to info@crbprogram.com For more information visit crbprogram.org As more properties become certified this program enables renters to have thirdparty verification that their prospective new home has made a commitment to uphold this Code of Conduct. This is not to say that uncertified buildings aren’t upholding the same standards. The CRBP is just added peace of mind that a building’s maintenance of these standards is being verified.

BOXING IT ALL UP without the headaches By Dan Hopkins
I
t’s no big secret moving can be stressful – from broken dishes to lost items. But there are a few things you can do to make the whole process a little easier on the nerves.
Start by planning your moving day well in advance. Once you select your moving company, book your reservations two to four weeks before your scheduled move day to guarantee availability. Next, it’s time to roll up those sleeves and begin boxing up your household or office space. Choosing boxes to do this may not be as much of a nobrainer as you’d presume: • Boxes of books get heavy fast so ensure to use only small boxes when it comes to these items. Apply this general rule to everything you’re packing: the heavier the item, the smaller the box. • Emptying the closet can be an organizing nightmare. Use specific wardrobe boxes to simplify the process. To save space, clothes in drawers can be packed into suitcases.
Assign boxes to specific rooms. Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box – it can make for a frustrating unpacking process or a wild goose chase if you’re looking for kitchen utensils in the living room box. Keep a record of what goes into which box so you can find what you need instantly. When it comes to large appliances, take a peek at the owner’s manuals to see if there are special instructions for moving. Packing breakables requires the utmost care. Always stack dishes upwards and never use newsprint to wrap fine china as it can be messy to clean. Instead, choose protective packing paper or bubble wrap. With these tips and a few deep breaths, you’re well on your way to a smooth-sailing move.
TheRentersGuide.ca • As tempting as it may be to pick up used cardboard boxes from the grocery store, don’t. You never know what little critter is hiding in the corner of food boxes – or if the box will be strong enough to support your possessions. In fact, don’t use used boxes in general; you don’t know how much weight they can handle or how much weight they’ve already handled. TheRentersGuide.ca

OFF
the
WALL by YANIC SIMARD
TOM HAGA CONCRETE WALL NO.7
GENERALLY THOUGHT OF AS A
playful background to the home’s interior, wallpaper has been around for many, many years — dating back to the 16th century. Today it’s more popular than ever. Wallpaper can inject so much more personality into a space in the form of pattern, texture and colour, which you can’t always get with a paintbrush and roller.
ONE FEATURE WALL IS USUALLY ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE A ROOM POP, LIKE BEHIND THE BED IN A BEDROOM. TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca
76G
TYPES OF WALLPAPER Wallpaper is available in several different materials, each with its own characteristics. VINYL: The most basic type of wallpaper, easy to clean, hang and remove, and great for moist areas such as bathrooms. EMBOSSED: Textured paper which can usually be painted and is excellent for covering up walls with imperfections. Easy to install and easy to clean. FOILS: Metallic-looking wallpaper that will add brightness and sparkle to any room. Looks best installed on flat walls with no flaws or damage. Can be difficult to hang, though it is fairly easy to clean. GRASS CLOTH: Woven out of long strands of grass, this extremely textural wallpaper has an organic quality like no other. Very difficult to hang and tough to remove. TheRentersGuide.ca TEXTILE: Fabric type of wallpaper which can be more difficult to both clean and hang, but adds great texture and depth to a space.
TheRentersGuide.ca
TROVE CHROMA, 001
FLOCKS: Velvet or velvet-like raised designs on vinyl-type paper. It can add great personality and aesthetic to any room however not all types are washable. This paper can be tricky to handle and difficult to hang. CHOOSING THE RIGHT PATTERN If your furnishings and décor are already complete, then you want to select a paper that complements the existing colour and style as well as the size and shape of the room being wallpapered. If there are already other patterns present in the area then be TheRentersGuide.ca sure to choose a harmonizing scale. In terms of the room to be wallpapered, keep in mind that horizontal patterns
will make a room appear wider, and vertical patterns will make ceilings feel taller. WHERE TO WALLPAPER In the ‘70s, your home wasn’t quite up to par unless you covered every square inch of every wall with wallpaper. Today that’s hardly the case —however if you’re using it in a smaller space, such as a powder room, I still say to go for it. One feature wall is usually all you need to make a room pop, like behind the bed in a bedroom. Also, consider wallpapering the ceiling to create high impact and style. MEASURING FOR WALLPAPER Measure your walls carefully to calculate the amount of paper you’ll need to cover the desired area. Standard rolls measure 11 yards in length, 20.5 inches in width, and wide width rolls are sometimes available which are the same length but measure 27 inches in width. I always recommend adding one extra roll to the amount you require just in case. The experts where you’re TheRentersGuide.ca buying the material should be able to assist in the calculations to be sure.

Loss Prevention
Insurance is great, but prevention is better
T
hey say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Think of insurance as the cure (sort of) to a number of bad things that could happen to you or your family. Yes, if you have a fire or a theft, insurance will help you pick up the pieces. But most people who have lost their homes in a fire — even those with great insurance coverage — will tell you that they would prefer if it had never happened in the first place. Insurance gives you financial peace of mind. If you have the right coverage, no theft, fire, accident or hurricane can leave you broke. However, there are certain things that insurance cannot fix. For example: If your wedding ring or a priceless family heirloom is stolen in a break-in, insurance may cover the actual market value of the item, but the sentimental value cannot be replaced. If you suffer a fire and all your family photos are destroyed, you will feel a tremendous loss, even though the photos have no TheRentersGuide.ca monetary value. Insurers are in the business of compensating people when they suffer losses. Being so close to so many human tragedies,

insurers are passionately committed to loss prevention. They know that it is better to avoid suffering than to try to make up for it. If your home is uninhabitable for a period of time, you may need to move to a hotel or even a new, likely furnished, apartment. Some tenant’s policies will cover additional living expenses you incur during this time, such as meals (if you are in a hotel) and extra rent or room charges. Be sure to ask your insurance representative if you have this type of coverage, so that if disaster strikes you can focus on putting your life back together without worrying about the added costs. For more information talk to your insurance representative about your tenants’ insurance needs. The Insurance Bureau of Canada offers information for consumers to help make them aware of their insurance needs and assist them in understanding the types of insurance available. They are the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90 per cent of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada.

Leslie Styles, foodie & travel aficionado, shares some delicious dishes found on her travels around the world.
Fish Tacos
t
acos have been part of Mexico’s culinary heritage for hundreds of years, and their popularity have made them one of the beloved ambassadors of its nation’s cuisine. Tacos de Pescado – or fish tacos – are said to have started in Baja,
Mexico’s northernmost state, but while the original dish is made with deep-fried fish, this recipe made with grilled fish, is a much lighter and healthier version of the timehonored classic. This great recipe comes from Sean Murphy’s restaurant ‘Eat Here’ on Florida’s Siesta Key, and features mahi mahi, though grouper, tilapia, salmon, shrimp or even lobster, are also great options. As the warmer weather approaches sets in, it’s a perfect time to heat up the barbecue, enjoy a festive margarita or lavender infused Bee’s Knees and feast on warm Tacos de Pescado hot off the grill — buen provecho!
ingredients Serves 4 › 1 lb mahi mahi, cut into 4 fillets › 4 soft flour tortillas › 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning › Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste › 1 lime, sliced › 1 bunch of chives, finely chopped for garnish › 1 avocado, peeled and sliced, optional
Directions
Place the egg yolk in a small bowl or food processor, and slowly whisk in the olive oil until it becomes a mayonnaise-like consistency. Add the Dijon, chopped chipotle, garlic and juice from a quarter of a lime, and mix to combine. Transfer to a bowl or squeeze bottle, and refrigerate until needed. Toss all of the cole slaw ingredients together in a large bowl, and adjust seasoning to taste. Season the fish with a pinch of salt and black pepper and a little Cajun seasoning. Grill the fish outdoors or pan-sear it in a large skillet. Warm the flour tacos in a pan or griddle. To serve, spoon 1/4 cup of crunchy coleslaw on each taco and top with a portion of cooked mahi mahi and a slice or two of avocado, if you like. Drizzle with a little aioli on top and garnish with a slice of lime and a flurry of chopped chives.
Aioli:: › 1 egg yolk › 1/3 cup olive oil › 1 clove garlic, crushed › 1 tsp Dijon mustard › 1 tbsp fresh lime juice › 2 tsp chopped chipotle chiles in adobo Coleslaw: › 1 cup each julienned carrots, jicama and purple cabbage › 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped › 1/2 medium onion, diced › 2 cloves garlic, crushed and diced

The dirty truth:
cleaning isn’t disinfecting
T
he kitchen looks sparkling clean after you’ve wiped down the counter, wiped off fingerprints from the fridge door and washed the sink. However, did you know that although a surface may look clean it could be harbouring bacteria or viruses that could be harmful to your health? When you clean your home, rather than disinfect it, you may just be spreading those germs around. In fact, the Hygiene Council’s 2010 Hygiene Home Truths Study sponsored by Lysol found that 12 per cent of sites that actually appeared to be in a new or visibly clean condition still harbored microorganisms. “Visibly clean doesn’t necessarily mean disinfected,” says Dr. Donald Low, Microbiologist-in-Chief at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. “Cleaning with a dirty cloth or using the wrong cleaning product could simply spread bacteria around the home rather than destroy it. Bacteria, fungi and viruses can survive on surfaces for extended periods of time, from hours to days, so you need to use disinfectants to remove them.”
TheRentersGuide.ca
Disinfectants are specifically registered with Health Canada and carry a Drug Identification Number (DIN) on the label. Check the label for the “DIN” to ensure you’re buying a disinfectant. Disinfectants, such as Lysol, can work to eliminate the likelihood of crosscontamination and can help maintain a clean, healthyTheRentersGuide.ca environment for the whole family. NC

Summer is Served! D
ust off your barbecue and serve up summer barbecue style! It’s one of summer’s most simple pleasures – cooking on the grill. Prepare for the season with these five foolproof tips from Chef Tom Filippou, executive Chef for President’s Choice Cooking Schools:
1. Get equipped with the right tools: • Long handled steel brush to clean the grill • Long handled tongs for flipping • Long handled basting brush • Spray water bottle to dampen hot flames
2. Get those perfect grill marks on your meat by generously oiling the grill before cooking. You can use a clean rag soaked with cooking oil or even a piece of beef or bacon fat.
3. To keep meat juicy, add salt right before you put your meat on the grill. 4. use a meat thermometer to check for “doneness” to ensure your meat is properly cooked without cutting. 5. Do not prick, pierce or stab meat while grilling. Instead, use tongs with a long handle to flip the meat. This will help maintain the natural juices and tenderness. NC

Gail’s guide to BUILDING A BUDGET B Y GAI L VAZ -OX LADE
O
kay Toadies, it’s time to get with the program. Over and over again people tell me they don’t know how to make a budget. It doesn’t matter how many articles they read, how many worksheets they download off the web, how many times they try, they just can’t do it.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca
renters’help
Once I started doing the show Til Debt Do Us Part and introduced the magic jars, people headed out to buy their own. But they still couldn’t figure out how much money to put in the bloody things. So I’ve created a step-by-step plan for all those who wish it to follow. Using this plan and Gail’s Interactive Budget Worksheet, (found on gailvazoxlade.com: http://gailvazoxlade. com/resources/interactive_budget_ worksheet.html) you can build a budget that will not only tell you how you’re doing, but also how much to stick in the jars if you’ve decided to live on cash. Okay, here we go. 1 On the budget worksheet, fill in all the amounts under income. You’ll need your “gross” income and your “net” income. If you make $60,000 a year gross, you would enter 60,000/12 (which is $60,000 divided by 12.) Ditto your monthly net income. Careful now, if you’re paid on any other schedule you have to use your lowest monthly income as your base, and use any extra money you receive to boost your planned spending (for things like furniture acquisitions, vacations, and the like). 2 Enter any other sources of income you may have. You must use “monthly” amounts. So if you average $6,000 in annual child support received, you would enter $500 for your monthly amount. If you receive income that is irregular TheRentersGuide.ca – think annual bonus – do not enter it under income. Why? Well, if you bank on getting it and you don’t you’ll be SOL. Better to use
that money for things like gifts, vacations, and other extras, things you don’t have to pay for if the bonus doesn’t materialize.
1 You can go back and cut expenses. Yup, even up in fixed expenses you can find places to cut like cell phone or cable.
3 Now it’s time for the fixed expenses. Get out your last bank statement(s). Based on what you spent last month, fill in the fixed expenses. Don’t worry if the numbers seem high at first, just put in what you spent last month, based on what went out of your bank account.
2 You can make more money. Work harder, work smarter. Get a second job, a third job, a better job.
4 We’re going to skip down to Saving now. Yep, you have to save. Don’t bother arguing, you have to save. I want you to divide your monthly income by 100 and multiply your answer by five. There, that’s five per cent and is the minimum you should be saving. Ultimately, you need to save 10 per cent, but let’s start with five per cent and work from there. Under “emergency” enter $100. 5 Next we’ll do debt repayment. Add up your monthly debt repayment amounts. Include what you’re spending to repay everything except your mortgage and your car loan/lease. Put it under “debt repayment.” 6 You’re doing great. Now look at the bottom line on the budget – the line that says,“income – expenses.” What do you have left? Whatever it is that’s what you have to work with to budget for your variable expenses. Yup. That’s it. Go ahead and divvy up the money in the various categories under Variable Expenses. If you find you’re left with $20 a month for groceries and you know that just won’t do, then you have two choices:
That’s your budget. Two more things: 1 You’ll see that the budget automatically calculated how much must go into each of your jars each week/month if you plan to live on cash. 2 You’ll also see your percentages automatically calculated. The financial rule of thumb says you shouldn’t spend more than 35 per cent of your net income on housing. (That includes mortgage/ rent, condo fees/maintenance, property tax and utilities.) If you’re spending more than 35 per cent, either you can look for ways to cut back on your housing costs, you can make more money, or you can trim in other areas (like transportation) so you end up balancing at the bottom line. It’s your money. You can do anything you want with it except spend more than you make. Okay, now that you have a budget, you have no excuses. Get out of debt. Live within your means. Make me proud.

BMO InvestOrLIne: Are YOu And YOur PArtner InvestIng sOuLMAtes? BMO IdentIfIes POssIBLe sOLutIOns tO eAse fInAncIAL frIctIOn AMOng cOuPLes when It cOMes tO InvestIng hABIts other. Compromising will ensure the saver has the financial security they desire, without leaving the spender feeling deprived of the things they enjoy. Sharing and Risk Tolerance: Couples often decide to share an investment portfolio, however when it comes to risk tolerance many partners do not match up. One partner may be a more aggressive investor, investing primarily in risky investments that offer the potential for higher returns, while the other partner prefers investments that are more likely to preserve principal, even if that means earning lower returns.
With Wedding season in full sWing, BMo investorline encourages couples across the country to have the “Financial Talk” before they take their vows. “Finances can be one of the most common sources of disagreement among couples and a difference of opinion on money matters can affect everything - from a couple’s household budget, to their retirement investments,” said Cesar Rainusso, Vice President, BMO InvestorLine. “Ensure you and your new spouse have a ‘prosperous’ financial future by having an open dialogue early on that addresses these financial concerns and how, together, you can turn ‘my money’ into ‘our money’.” Couples may not always be a perfect match when it comes to their finances and investing strategies. Some situations include: Saver vs. Spender: One partner tends to be a saver; they make regular contributions to their savings accounts, including a retirement plan, and try to invest any extra cash. The other may not have a financial plan and spends any extra money. TheRentersGuide.ca Helpful tip: A couple in this situation would be wise to talk about their financial situation and investing habits early on to prevent friction down the road. They can choose a realistic amount to invest each month towards their TheRentersGuide.ca goals and set aside a separate amount to spend on themselves and each
Helpful tip: Diversifying a shared portfolio can help couples meet both investment styles. Selecting a mix of investments such as stocks, for higher returns, and more conservative options like bonds and cash, to insulate against market volatility, can provide couples with a strong portfolio that will meet their shared short-and-long term financial goals. Agree to Disagree: There are a variety of strategies that individuals employ which make them feel confident and comfortable with the growth of their investment portfolio. While many couples are able to meet in the middle and find something that works for both sides, sometimes a compromise cannot be reached when it comes to investment strategy, the asset mix in their portfolio and how it is managed. Helpful tip: If partners are unable to agree, it may be more beneficial to create separate investment portfolios. With individual portfolios each partner can be comfortable with their investments and how to best manage those TheRentersGuide.ca assets.

Transform a room inexpensively with paint
T
he experts at Benjamin Moore suggest it’s time to refresh our homes with paint. Sharon Grech, the company’s colour and design expert explains how transforming the look with paint is a budget friendly way to update an interior:
1) “Paint has such transformative power,” she begins.“With a bit of planning and some elbow grease it can completely update a room’s look without breaking the bank. You might not change your paint colour every season, but if you’re influenced by spring, look at fresh, soft colours like Hidden Cove or Sweet Cream. Both are easily accented by fashion forward pastels like Sagebrush or Lime Sherbet.”
TheRentersGuide.ca
3) De-clutter. Get rid of the items that are weighing the space down. Collect books and other odds and ends lying around the apartment. Organize all these items in collections that work together in the room. Keep half of everything and TheRentersGuide.ca let friends and family treasure hunt through the rest.
TheRentersGuide.ca
More advice on this topic can be found online at BenjaminMoore.ca or by visiting a local retailer. NC
2) Who doesn’t love beautiful art for the walls? Big, beautiful pieces can make a huge impact, but can also be costly. A great alternative is to hang a mirror with a stylish frame. A mirror can fill the wall with a decorative accent while reflecting light and opening up the space. It’s a designer trick that’s been used for years and doesn’t cost a fortune.

Five sure cures for the empty-nest
t
he resonating silence of a home or a leisurely drive past a soccer field can often make an empty-nester weepy. When teens and twentysomethings leave home to begin their adult lives, many parents experience sadness and a sense of loss. the truth is that this transition isn’t just survivable – it can even be beneficial. here are some ways to take charge and ensure that this stage of your life is one to look forward to.
1 Throw a send-off party Embrace and celebrate this life’s passage. Plan a fabulous party for your child and invite your family and friends. Go with a theme that symbolizes freedom and responsibilities and send your child off with practical gifts like a basic cookbook, a box of laundry detergent, grocery store gift cards and tableware. 2 Cultivate an adult relationship Establish a weekly check-in routine with each other. Stay in touch by email, phone or Skype. Let them know you are there for them to calm their insecurities about life away from home. Use your experience to create special bonding moments with your child long after they leave. 3 Fill the void and rediscover your passions Parents often give up some interests to be available to their children. Now is the time to throw yourself into those hobbies and activities again. Join a book club, learn a new language, volunteer, or sponsor a child through a non-profit organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca). In fact there are many organizations where you can help bring hope and lasting change to children who need it most.

4 Take care of yourself…and a pet Adopt an exercise routine to stay physically healthy. Poor physical health can aggravate feelings of sadness caused by empty nest syndrome. As for pets, if you don’t have one, consider adopting one. Not only are they loyal and loving, they also relieve loneliness, provide good companionship, and increase social exposure for their owners.

5 Connect with your spouse TheRentersGuide.ca In all the craziness of raising children, parents sometimes lose track of their most important relationship and support person – their spouse. Quiet evenings, long walks, impromptu trips and romantic dinners out are all possible now that the kids aren’t around! NC

What to look for in an apartment By Jane Herman
A
re you feeling a little overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to find an apartment? Even wading through all of the ads and listings in Renters Guide can be daunting, unless you understand how they are organized. But where do you start? The first criteria in your decision should be price: How much can you realistically afford to spend per month? Most financial planners recommend that your rent (not including extras such as parking, hydro, cable, etc.) should amount to less than 30 per cent of your monthly income. This may be hard to achieve, but thinking about how much you can spend on rent will also help you to set up a budget. Include all expenses you’ll be responsible for each month (food, utilities, telephone, transportation, laundry, parking, etc.) and other, annual or variable expenses, such as clothing, moving expenses, renter’s insurance, savings, recreation, entertainment, etc. The more you spend on rent, the less you’ll have available for other things. Next, determine what area you want to live in. How will you determine where to look? If you are new to the area, you may want to live near friends or relatives, within a certain commuting radius of work or school. If you have children, do you want to live in a particular school district? Are parks and play areas nearby? Is proximity to the transit or a major highway may be a priority Is the area convenient to shopping, library, recreation facilities, entertainment, restaurants, etc. What are the traffic patterns in the neighbourhood? How is the traffic at rush hour? How are the noise levels in the area at different times of the day, and would this be a factor in your decision? With these factors in mind, make a list of several different neighbourhoods in which you could look: Area 1: ________________________ Area 2: ________________________
TheRentersGuide.ca
Area 3: ________________________ Type of accommodation: Many apartments are in highrises. A highrise building is one that is six or more storeys, has elevators, security, laundry TheRentersGuide.ca
facilities, and, frequently, sports and/or recreation facilities and other amenities, as well as efficient electrical, heating and plumbing systems. A walk-up or low-rise would be less than five storeys high, may have no elevator and few conveniences. However, the rent would generally be less at this type of apartment than at a highrise building in the same area. Other kinds of apartments you could rent include: A basement apartment is a basement in a house that has been converted to an apartment. It may have a separate entrance. The apartment may have its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and heating system, or it may share those amenities with the rest of the home. A low rise apartment building may also have basement apartments. A duplex, triplex or fourplex is a group of two, three or four apartments together in the same building. Apartment Features Search through the Renters Guide listings to find those that match your criteria. They are organized by area. You should also use Renters Guide companion website, hometrader.ca. It is an excellent source of apartment listings, also organized by area. You can also find potential apartments by walking around or driving through the area you have chosen, or through word of mouth. If a friend or relative is happy living in a particular building, chances are you will be too. When you go to look at apartments, inspect them thoroughly before you sign the lease or give a first month’s rental deposit. Some landlords have a condition checklist on which to record details upon move in and move out. Be sure to inspect walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, etc. Make sure you note such things as the condition of the property and the building. Note the size and location of the closets. You may want to take along a tape TheRentersGuide.ca measure to see how your furniture might work in the space. If you go through the process carefully, chances are you’ll be more satisfied with your decision after you move in.

Rental Agreements What You Should Know Before you Sign a Lease
W
hen you rent a home or apartment in Canada, the landlord will usually ask you to sign a written rental agreement. This legal contract is also often called a “lease.”
Under the laws of each province and territory, tenants and landlords have certain rights and responsibilities whether they have a written agreement or not. Nevertheless, a written lease agreement can help spell out all the terms you and your landlord want to have covered and agreed to. You may also wish to seek legal advice before accepting the terms. To help you know what to expect, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following list of terms that can be found in most rental agreements: • The names of the landlord and tenant(s). • The address of the home or apartment you are renting. • The monthly rent you agreed to pay, with or without utilities, parking, cable television or other services. • The date when the rent is due (for example, on the first day of each month).
TheRentersGuide.ca • The amount and terms of any rent, security or damage deposits you agreed to pay.
• A list of which repairs or upkeep will be your responsibility. • The term of rental period (most rental agreements are usually for one year, but some may be month-to-month or week-to-week). • The conditions for ending or canceling your lease, including financial implications and the amount of advance notice you must give the landlord if you decide to move out (for example, 60 days notice). • The rules or restrictions for subletting the property. • The amount the landlord is allowed to increase the rent in the future. • Any other specific restrictions (such as whether or not you can smoke in the home and whether you can have boarders, pets or a waterbed, etc.). • Details on when and how the landlord can enter your home or apartment. • The procedure for making changes to the contract. • A method for resolving any disputes or disagreements (for example, disputes about late rent payments, damage to the property or eviction). • Contact information for both you and your landlord in case of an
emergency (usually including a phone number, fax and email). For more information or a free copy of CMHC’s Guide to Renting a Home, call CMHC at 1-800-6682642 or visit our website at www. cmhc.ca.

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

What is it that makes a smart tV so cleVer?
I
n the relaxation of a living room on a large, high-definition screen, you can now watch your television and do all the Internet and digital activities you might be doing on your personal computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone – and this includes access to music, pictures, online videos, and favourite applications. “Smart TV is the future of television, it’s here, and it’s the type of home entertainment magic that makes us want it now,” says Frank Lee at LG Electronics Canada, a leading name in this field. “Smart TV is a catch-all term for any television that is capable of connecting itself to the Internet and other entertainment devices around the home for the delivery of videos, movies, music, TheRentersGuide.ca apps, games, and web browsing.” Still, it’s a new and revolutionary world, so here – with the help of technology expert Frank Lee – are answers to the TheRentersGuide.ca most frequently asked questions:
Q: What are the most popular smart TV functions? A: Also known as ‘connected TV’, you can navigate and click on a menu of activities that will connect you with online content, such as Netflix or Youtube, right on your TV screen. As well as being wi-fi enabled, a Smart TV lets you enjoy your favourite content from a smartphone or laptop by connecting it to your big screen television, wirelessly. Now you can show your holiday pictures or videos on your TV with a few quick clicks of the remote. Q: What if I don’t want to wear 3D glasses every time I watch TV? A: This is a common misconception. The glasses are only required for the full 3D viewing experience. These beautiful 3D TVs offer the ability to turn the 3D function on or off, or to control the depth of the 3D experience. Some people want to feel the images leap off the screen at them, while others prefer a less-intense experience. Q: I just bought a new TV that’s not“smart”so is it possible to connect it online? A: Yes, and it’s very easy. A device called a Smart TV UpgraderTheRentersGuide.ca will connect to your TV and offer you the smart TV experience giving you instant access to online content and a wide range of entertainment and game applications. Just check to make sure your TV has an HDMI connection, which most TVs purchased in the past few years do. NC.

Newcomers list advice as key ingredient in establishing their financial life in Canada: RBC
Building a credit history important to newcomers
N Fea
M
ost newcomers to Canada (79 per cent) feel it’s important to start building credit history quickly and three-in-four (75 per cent) believe that expert advice is important when it comes to lending or borrowing money, according to an RBC poll.
2011. Respondents were recruited from an online consumer research panel and are made up of 628 South Asian and Chinese immigrants residing in British Columbia and Ontario who are first generation and have lived in Canada for 10 years or less. There were 300 Chinese and 328 South Asian respondents, including 100 newcomers (0
“Building a new life in a new country is no small feat. Newcomers are faced with a myriad of tasks and decisions to ensure their future success,” said Paul Sy, director, Multicultural Markets, RBC. “Among these are important financial decisions and professional advice can be critical to overcoming obstacles and challenges in this area. That’s why speaking to a financial advisor, someone who understands the challenges and can provide solutions, is integral to helping newcomers build their lives in Canada.” The RBC poll also found that most newcomers (68 per cent) say that using credit cards is a smart way to manage their finances and expenses. “Building credit history is a key step to starting a new life in Canada, but it can also be a significant hurdle for newcomers,” added Sy.“We recognize this challenge and are committed to providing newcomers with relevant banking solutions to help them get financially established in Canada.” Sy offers the following three tips to help newcomers build credit in TheRentersGuide.ca Canada: Build your credit history - Take advantage of options available to you, such as RBC’s Newcomer to Canada Credit Card program - an unsecured TheRentersGuide.ca credit card for newcomers with zero
credit history. This option also provides access to a second credit card, for a spouse or partner, and will help the cardholders build a credit history together. Credit history is used to establish a pattern on how well you manage your financial obligations and determine how safe it is to lend and do business with you. Meet the minimum payments - It’s important to pay all of your bills on time, even the ones that seem small and insignificant. Even if it’s just the minimum payment, staying on top of your bills regularly reflects positively towards your credit rating. Check your score - Your credit score, that is. It’s good to know what your current score is. You can request a copy of your credit report from either of the two agencies in Canada - Equifax or TransUnion. It’s a good idea to review your credit report in case of any errors or fraudulent activity. RBC’s Welcome to Canada package offers advice and tips to help newcomers get settled in Canada and now includes a preferred rate on Foreign Exchange transactions for up to 12 months. About the Environics Poll The findings were conducted by Environics
to 12 months in Canada) in each ethnic group. Quotas were applied to represent the different regions and tenure in Canada. Data was weighted according to population data from the 2006 Census to represent the population as closely as possible. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100 per cent response rate would have an estimated margin of error of ±4 percentage points 19 times out of 20 of what the results would have been had the entire population of Chinese and South immigrants in Canada been polled. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to, coverage error and measurement error. About RBC Welcome to Canada Package For more than seven generations, RBC has been supporting newcomers by providing resources and tools that make the transition to a new country seamless. The RBC Welcome to Canada package helps newcomers who have been in Canada for less than three years with key financial decisions and includes advice and discounts on products and services. Details on The RBC Welcome to Canada banking package, newly offered preferred rate on Foreign Exchange transactions for 12 months, and branch locators that identify representatives who speak up to

Make healthier eating
fun for kids
I
t’s hard enough to get your family to pry themselves away from their hectic schedules for meals let alone get them to eat healthy. Here are some tips on how to introduce healthy eating habits that will get your families excited about eating better! 1. Start introducing healthier choices into your family meals one at a time rather than trying to replace all of the not-sohealthy foods the kids love right away. Try to look for products and recipes that are really similar to their favourites so there’s less of a battle at dinnertime. 2. Rather than making a big announcement about healthier eating which may get the kids’ guards up, just start stocking the fridge and cupboards with everyday items that also have some hidden benefits. They may not even notice they’re eating TheRentersGuide.ca healthier! Tip: If your kids refuse to eat fish, sneak in the benefits with PC Blue Menu Oh Mega J Orange Juice. Each 250 mL serving provides 0.05 g omega-3 EPA & DHA from encapsulated fish TheRentersGuide.ca oil without affecting flavour!
3. Kids are notorious for being picky when it comes to trying something new but the fact is they’re more likely to eat foods if they helped prepare them. Get the kids more involved by asking them to help prepare dinner or set some time aside to do a fun and easy baking activity. 4. If you want your kids to take healthier eating more seriously then you have to teach them by example. Be a role model by learning to read nutrition labels and teach your older kids some of the basic watch-outs as well. This way you can all make better choices and try to keep junk food out of the house. Tip: The kids may enjoy some treats now and then – just try to choose them wisely. The irresistible PC Blue Menu Mint Chocolate Light Ice Cream has 30 per cent less sugar and 35 per cent less fat than President’s Choice Ice Cream.
• • • •
5. Sitting down to family meals together is more important than ever. Kids who take part in regular family meals are more likely to try fruits, vegetables, and grains and are less likely to snack on unhealthy foods. If time is anTheRentersGuide.ca issue, look for quick and easy options that require very little prep. NC

Pour-over coffee making is back The pour-over system was born over 100 years ago when mother and wife, Melitta Bentz experimented with a brass pot and her son’s blotting paper. She poured hot water over coffee grinds held in the paper “filter”to create a treat for her husband. The current pour over method works much the same – a cone system and filter is placed on top of a mug, filled with coffee grinds, and boiling water is manually poured over grinds to create a single cup of coffee. “What many coffee drinkers may not realize is that they don’t have to sacrifice quality for convenience, they can still have great coffee in an instant,”explains Bill Ivany, president of Melitta Canada. “Even with all of the advanced options available in brewing, the manual pour-over system is still revered as the best brewing

Tips To proTecT your money online
W
hat could be more convenient than paying bills and managing your finances with a click of a button? Just make sure this convenience doesn’t come at a price. While banking sites use security software that makes them difficult to hack, cyber criminals resort to other means to get your personal information. To help you protect yourself – and your money – online, the federal government has created GetCyberSafe.ca. This site gives practical tips, including looking out for the following threats:
Phishing: Cyber criminals create fake emails that look like ‘real’ emails from your bank asking you to reply with personal information. A bank would never ask for this information by email. Avoid links in emails that take you to websites other than your banking site. Malware: This is malicious software that cyber criminals spread online and can get onto your computer. While you believe you’re banking safely, it can steal account information, hijack your account and transfer funds without your knowledge. Pharming: These attacks involve redirecting your access from a legitimate website to a fake one that looks genuine. It may include extra fields on forms that you enter (SIN, date of birth, mother’s maiden name) and, without realizing it, you submit this information directly to the attacker. When banking online. look for the “lock” icon and https:// at the beginning of the website address – a sign that the connection is secure. GetCyberSafe.ca also has tips on creating strong passwords of at least 8 characters long – a must if you are banking online. NC

Money Truths
P
ay yourself first. Don’t spend more than you make. The basic rules of money management are simple, but stats show that Canadians aren’t living by them.
According to Statistics Canada, for every dollar of income, the average Canadian owes $1.52 and saves only $0.04. Compared to 1990, when we owed an average of $0.93 cents per dollar and saved $0.13 for every dollar, this trend is going in the wrong direction. In Ontario alone, less than three in 10 people achieve a passing grade for their knowledge of money management, according to a recent study by Investor Education Fund (IEF), Canada’s leading authority on financial literacy education and research.
“Everyone’s financial situation and barriers to money management are different, but the principles of financial planning are universal,” said Tom Hamza, president of IEF. “Following these basic rules in your everyday life can help you reach your financial goals, such as saving money and paying off debt sooner.” Here are IEF’s Universal Money Truths: • Know your money personality. The first step in achieving a financial goal is to understand your attitude toward money, level of financial knowledge and your tolerance for investment risk. • Know what you’re saving for and have a plan to get there. Whether you’re saving for a vacation or paying off a mortgage, the best way to reach a goal is to make a specific plan to achieve it. • Know your cash flow. A budget helps you track where your money goes, keeps your spending in check and finds ways to save more money. Use a budget tracker and update it at least once a year. • Shop around to get the best value for your money. Whether you’re looking for a new credit card or choosing a financial advisor, look at all your options and choose the product or service that gives you the best deal. • Care more about money than anyone else does. It’s up to you to decide how you invest your money, so play an active role in the process. • Be a saver, not a borrower. It’s better to earn interest through your investments than pay it through debt repayments. Borrowing is a fact of life, but balance it out by saving as much as possible.
TheRentersGuide.ca
• Understand when it’s too good to be true. Know how to recognize and avoid an investment scam. • The sooner you start, the better off you’ll be. It’s never too early or too late TheRentersGuide.ca to save money.
