EDITORS’ NOTES

eptember is traditionally a busy month in the rental market. Perhaps many people simply prefer to enjoy the summer and want to wait untill fun-in-the-sun-time is over to get on the move, but students in need of a new home-away-from-home for the upcoming new school year definitely make up a large part of the September market. Where are you at in your search for the perfect rental suite? Whether you’ve just started looking for a new place or are almost ready to sign on the dotted line, we know you’ll find this publication helpful. Using the information and advertisements, you’ve got the latest in rental accommodations, news and advice at your fingertips. Leasing a rental property is a serious decision and a significant commitment, so it is imperative that you do your homework and research the marketplace to ensure you’re getting the best value for your money. If you have a question about leasing a property, write to us. We’d love to hear from you!

ave you ever moved, only to find out just a short while later that your job has been relocated or the opportunity of a lifetime for travel has come up – or that you and your partner are expecting! Life happens, and nothing is set in stone, it just so happens that it’s easier to change your living arrangement when you rent, versus when you buy. If you’ve signed a lease and suddenly find yourself needing to leave, you can always see if your landlord is willing to let you break the lease. Most landlords will work with you, just ensure that you’re not causing them any expense or undue inconvenience. You may need to repaint, you may need to find an appropriate replacement tenant and you may be responsible for costs associated with the new tenant’s background check or credit check since the landlord would otherwise have had no reason to incur the expense. While you can imagine the extent of the inconvenience and expense it would take to quickly resell a newly purchased home or condo – taxes, lawyers’ fees, agents’ commissions and more, in contrast changing a rental accommodation is relatively easy and inexpensive. While you’re still responsible for the rent for the duration of the lease in the worst-case scenario, generally, at most, it’s only a year. With a home or condo, you’re at the whim of the market and it’s generally unaffordable to move until that sale happens. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect apartment, there’s one out there to accommodate your needs 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!

North York The downtown of uptown

by Jane Herman

nce upon a time, Yonge St. north of the 401 was a two-lane road in the country, flanked by block after block of lowrise commercial and residential buildings. Today, North York has evolved into a city that resembles a smaller version of Toronto’s downtown. The area of North York centring around Yonge and Sheppard TheRentersGuide.ca encompasses the communities of Lansing and Willowdale. Here, you’ll enjoy many of the benefits that living in a city TheRentersGuide.ca offers – such as access to government services, cultural amenities, work opportunities and transportation networks, without the same congestion and density of downtown.

Having Fun

SHopping

Yonge and Sheppard offers much to enjoy in the way of recreation and entertainment. The Toronto Centre for the Arts is a major entertainment venue offering an exciting lineup of shows and events. The Douglas Snow Aquatic Centre, situated just to the north of the North York Civic Centre at 5100 Yonge St. is a multi-purpose community centre featuring a large public pool with a fabulous waterslide. During the winter you can skate on the frozen reflecting pool in front of Mel Lastman Square. The adjacent North York Central Library is the largest full-service Toronto Public Library building, second to the Metro Reference Library in square footage. There are movie theatres located just to the south at Yonge and Sheppard, and more in Empress Walk. There are a multitude of restaurants serving foods of all ethnicities from Thai to Japanese, Italian, Greek and French, plus pub fare, fast food and fine dining lining Yonge St. throughout the neighbourhood.

The two major shopping malls in the area, the Sheppard Centre and Empress Walk, have underground access to the TTC, while the Sheppard subway line has spurred additional development along Sheppard Ave. E. Empress Walk is built around a large multi-storey cathedral-like hall and features a grocery, a business centre, liquor store and many additional businesses and professional services. The Sheppard Centre Mall at Yonge and Sheppard has more than 75 stores, shops, services and eateries, including popular chains, brand names and all the major banks.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the proximity to the Don Valley Golf Course, just south of the 401 on Yonge St., and Earl Bales Park at Bathurst and Sheppard with its many kilometers of scenic trails and downhill skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Thereâ€™s even a public lawn bowling court on Beecroft Rd., directly behind the Civic Centre complex.

At Yonge and Sheppard there are numerous lifestyle options for singles, couples and families of all sizes. Choose from luxurious highrises with spectacular views, condo-style amenities, fitness facilities, games and party rooms. There is a group of highrise buildings with direct access into the subway, so you can do your shopping, meet friends for lunch, and avoid any inclement weather.You can opt for a spacious low-rise in a park-like setting. The area is ideal for urban living, providing access to the highway and the ease of traveling across the GTA, but will appreciate the new construction and the reduced congestion and access to numerous suburban amenities.

frpo report

Safety above all by Ted WhiTehead

ne of the most basic things a consumer should expect when renting an apartment is that the building provides a relatively safe place to call home. That includes the landlord and/or property manager ensuring adherence to provincial fire and building codes.

Those whose buildings earn certification through the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) pledge to uphold the Standards of Practice outlined by the program, and building safety is an important part of that commitment. The Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) launched the CRBP as part of its mandate to advocate for quality rental housing. There are more than 36 different standards of practice that a building and property manager must clearly be able to demonstrate before they can be entered into the program. Examples that can affect fire safety include rigorous adherence to regular building cleaning schedules, effective communications with tenants when building repairs are necessary, properly maintained elevators, wellmaintained heating and cooling equipment, annual suite inspections and an ongoing education program for staff. TheRentersGuide.ca Ontario residents are protected by the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997 (FPPA), which was proclaimed provincial law on October 29, 1997. TheRentersGuide.ca 24G

The Ontario Fire Code is a regulation under the FPPA. Among the many elements addressed in the Code are access to and number of building exits and fire escapes, the safe installation of mechanical, electrical and plumbing infrastructure, elevators, stairwell, fire and smoke alarms, and the like. Renters who choose a CRBP building have the peace of mind in knowing that J.D. Power and Associates serves as the auditor for the program. The use of this independent thirdparty auditor introduces a level of credibility that rental-housing consumers can rely on. Again, all buildings entered into the program that are subsequently granted “Certified Rental Building” status have successfully demonstrated compliance and adherence with the Standards of Practice. Remember, too, that fire safety is also the responsibility of individual renters. No program or organization can monitor what goes on inside every apartment, and building owners and property managers should be able to count on their tenants’ vigilance when it comes to

avoiding fire mishaps. For example, leaving burning candles unattended is one of the most common causes of house and apartment fires. Smoking carelessly and forgetting about food cooking on the stove are others. Taking care goes beyond tenants protecting themselves, to keeping the building safer for all the residents within, and helping to protect the investment of the building owners – the people who provide a home for the renters. If you want to learn more about Ontario Fire Code, visit www.ofm. gov.on.ca/english/Legislation/legreg. asp, through which you can access safety pamphlets created specifically for tenants of apartment buildings. And if you are not aware of the fire safety features in your building, ask your property owner/manager. When you rent in a CRBP building, you know the owner and/or property manager understand and pledge to uphold the legal and moral aspects of operating rental accommodations. This includes fire safety. Visit www.crbprogram.org.

Ending Your Tenancy What You Need to Know By J a n e H e rm a n

Jane Herman is a communications consultant who has worked in the rental property industry. Jane provides communications solutions for a diverse range of clients and has written about food, fashion, apartment TheRentersGuide.ca living and personal finance for several publications.

ne of the questions most frequently asked by tenants is “How can I terminate my lease early?” Should you find yourself in this situation, it’s important to understand your obligations. The rules are slightly different depending on whether you: A) have a lease and wish to end your tenancy before it expires; or B) do not have a lease and simply wish to give your landlord notice that you want to end your tenancy. TermiNaTiNg earlY If you need to break your lease, you may want to start by writing your landlord a letter and explaining your circumstances before you initiate any additional paperwork (such as the required form N9). Your landlord may agree to allow you to end your tenancy early, but they are not obligated to do so. You cannot break your lease TheRentersGuide.ca early unless your landlord agrees, and/or allows you to “assign” your tenancy (basi-

will have to find someone to take over the lease. You are legally responsible for the rent for the duration of the lease until either you or the landlord can find a suitable replacement tenant.

giviNg appropriaTe NoTice If you don’t have a lease, or, if your original lease expired and you have continued to live in your apartment without signing one then you have a month-to-month lease. In this situation, according to the Residential Tenancies Act, you are required to give your landlord a minimum of 60 days written notice of your intention to leave. The termination date must be the last day of the rental period or your lease, even if it is more than 60 days. For example, if your tenancy begins on the first day of June and you give your landlord notice on March 15, then the termination date would be May 31. If you pay your rent weekly or daily, then you must give the landlord a minimum of 28

restaurants, local businesses and the general public have an interest in the future of street food vending.

TORONTO FOOD TRUCK pilot project begins Eating on-the-go is driven to new heights!

TWENTY-FOUR FOOD TRUCKS offering a variety of menu options will be stationed at five City of Toronto park sites from August 1 to October 1 as part of a City of Toronto food truck pilot project. The food trucks selected and scheduled by the Ontario Food Trucks Association, will rotate weekly. Two trucks at a time will be stationed at each of the five city-owned parks, Woodbine Park, Roundhouse Park, Canoe Landing, Sherbourne Commons and Allan Gardens. “The food truck industry is an emerging one and we understand the public’s desire to access these diverse food choices,”said Councillor Cesar Palacio (Ward 17 Davenport), Chair of the Licensing and Standards Committee. “We’re using this summer to gauge the impact that food trucks have on the existing industry to come up with a balanced approach moving forward.” All food trucks are required to be licensed by Municipal Licensing and Standards and must obtain a permit to operate in a City park. Under existing bylaws, new food trucks are TheRentersGuide.ca not permitted to operate on the public right of way (streets, boulevards and sidewalks). Operators negotiate with private-property owners for locations. City Council has directed staff to TheRentersGuide.ca consider expanding permission for 42G

food trucks to operate on the public right of way. Participating food trucks in the pilot project are Beach Boys Food Truck, Beaver Tails, Bestia, Blue Donkey, Buster’s Sea Cove, Caplansky’s, Choco Churros, Curbside Bliss Cupcakes, Crossroads Diner, Dobro Jesti, Fidel Gastros, Gourmet B1tches, Gourmet Gringos, Hogtown Smoke, Per Se Mobile, Pretty Sweet Bakery, Smoke’s Poutinerie, Stuft Gourmet Sausages Sweet Snow Shave Ice, The Feisty Jack, The Food Dudes, The Rome’n Chariot, Tiny Tom Donuts and Urban Smoke. More information is available at ontariofoodtrucks.com Many stakeholders, including existing street food vendors, brick-and-mortar

The Street Food Working Group made up of representatives from the Toronto Street Food Vendors Association, the Ontario Food Trucks Association, the Ontario Restaurant, Hotel and Motel Association, the Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas and City staff is working to develop an approach that balances the interests of all stakeholders and encourages a vibrant street food experience. In addition to its work on the food truck pilot project, the working group is addressing issues associated with harmonizing the licensing and regulatory framework for street food vending across the city. The results of this project, along with recommendations related to improving street food vending for both food carts and trucks, will be reported to the Licensing and Standards Committee in advance of the spring 2014 vending season. Members of the public are invited to fill out a survey about street food vending at http://cityoftoronto.fluidsurveys. com/s/streetfoodsurvey. More information is available at http://www.toronto.ca/licensing Toronto is Canada’s largest city and sixth largest government, and home to a diverse population of about 2.8 million people.

Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill at Bayview Village Foodie blogger extrodinaire, Leslie Styles gives us a taste of the neighbourhood When restaurateur Peter Oliver and chef Michael Bonacini teamed up in 1993, little did they know that almost 20 years later they would be running seven restaurants with more on the way. South African-born Oliver and Welsh native Bonacini, first opened Jump Cafe & Bar, and quickly became a unique and successful team on the Toronto restaurant scene. Other notable restaurants followed, including Auberge du Pommier, Canoe, Biff’s, Bannock, and Luma. The latest in the O&B chain is Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill, a new wave of upscale casual eateries that now stretch from Toronto’s Bayview Village to the Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood.

TheRentersGuide.ca 54G

TheRentersGuide.ca

reviewed The heart of the Bayview Village, Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill is a gleaming open kitchen complete with a central pizza oven designed to produce traditional fire-roasted pizzas. A bright modern dining room detailed with washed tin ceilings, leather banquettes and distinctive light fixtures, O&B is a large urban space which feels very downtown despite its North Toronto location. At the helm of O&B’s Bayview outpost since 2008, is Chef de Cuisine Steven Kwon. After attending Vancouver’s Culinary Arts Program, Kwon immediately joined Bacchus Restaurant at the Wedgewood Hotel in Vancouver under Executive Chef Frank Dodd and Executive Sous Chef Jonathan Gushue, now of Langdon Hall. He also worked with Chef Lorenzo Losetos’ brigade at George Restaurant in Toronto before joining the O&B team as Chef de Cuisine at The Café Grill at Bayview Village. With a broad menu that offers something for everyone, popular O&B favourites include B.C. Albacore Tuna Tataki, Tempura Rock Shrimp, Lamb Shepherd’s Pie, PanSeared Ontario Pickerel, O&B’s legendary Macaroni and Cheese as well as their delicious Mushroom Soup. Oliver and Bonacini have been serving their famous Mushroom Soup in all of their restaurants since 1995. The recipe calls for no butter or cream, so is extremely health conscious. They use six to eight varieties of wild mushrooms and even add a little truffle oil. They also make their own mushroom stock, vegetable stock and use only fresh herbs. “It’s about the simple quality of ingredients that come together to produce a flavour that is fresh, bright and keeps clients coming back for more.” Michael Bonacini, as well as Massimo Capra and Jason Parsons, have each established solid reputations as imaginative and masterly cooks. Available at O&B Café Grill at Bayview Village, is their new cookbook, Three Chefs: The Kitchen Men. In the cookbook, Michael, Massimo, and Jason combine their best recipes to create a cornucopia of tasty menus, bursting with international inspiration, and complemented with stories of growing up and learning to cook. My hands down favourite recipe is Michael’s famous Mushroom Soup, which at less than 50 calories per cup, is a brilliant healthy and delicious dish.

LesLie styLes, foodie & traveL aficionado, shares some deLicious dishes found on her traveLs around the worLd.

Lobster saLad with avocado & mango

ingredients serves 4-6

› 2/3 cup mayonnaise › 1 tsp lemon zest › 1 lemon, juiced › Salt and freshly ground black pepper › 1 shallot, finely chopped › 1 stalk celery, finely diced › 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped › 1/4 cup each of yellow and red bell pepper, finely diced › 1/4 cup of scallion, finely chopped › 3 lobster tails cooked, about 1 pound lobster meat, chopped › 1/2 cup ripe mangoes, diced › 1/2 cup avocados, diced drizzled with lemon juice › Lemon slices, for garnish

directions For the Fritters

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper, shallot, celery, and chives in a bowl. Add the lobster meat to the mayonnaise mixture and combine the rest of the ingredients, cutting the avocados at the very last, when all ingredients are ready, to avoid it from discoloration. Check the seasoning and serve chilled.

his is, without a doubt, the best lobster salad that I’ve ever tasted. A luscious combination of diced avocado, ripe mango, chopped yellow and red peppers and slivered scallions, tossed in a light and flavourful lemony mayonnaise mixed with crunchy celery, minced shallots and chopped chives, comes together so TheRentersGuide.ca deliciously, the succulent flavour of the fresh lobster positively shines. A well known chef generously gave me this fabulous lobster salad with avocado and mango recipe, after imploring him to divulge the secret ingredients. His original recipe made enough to serve about 200 people, so he kindly adjusted the quantities for a more intimate gathering, so now I can create my own sensational summertime lobster TheRentersGuide.ca salad at home. 62G

moving

Moving etiquette Follow the

golden rule B Y DA N H O P K I N S

ven at the best of times, moving day can be stressful for everyone involved. Whether you are moving into/out of a highrise apartment building, condo, low-rise home or commercial property, a move involves trucks, boxes, packing materials, workers and a certain amount of organized chaos. As with any major event, preparation is key. There are certain things to do on moving day to make things go as smoothly as possible. The first is to be sure to bring your manners with you.

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 74G

moving Think of the following tips as “moving etiquette.” • Let your neighbours at both ends know when to expect the movers to pull into your place. Ensure that the movers park and unload to avoid blocking anyone else’s driveway or trespassing on other lawns while items are being carried into or out of your new property. It is important to respect your neighbours’ privacy and property. • If you are booking a residential move and have the choice, select 9 or 10 a.m. for your truck to arrive. This is a time when people who work 9 to 5 are gone, and you are less likely to cause them any inconvenience. • Everyone wants to move at the same time, but this ties up the elevators making it impossible for residents to come and go. Instead of chaos, the property management will book an elevator for you. They will give you a block of time where you have th elevator exclusively for your move. Book the elevators well in advance – in both the building you are leaving and the building you will be moving into – so that you can have the beneﬁt of arranging your time comfortably. You should also check to see if movers are restricted to using speciﬁc doors, sometimes there are service areas to use for moving so that the rest of the tenants aren’t disturbed or inconvenienced – or in the path of large, heavy pieces of furniture. • Make arrangements for your pets to be cared for elsewhere. The very nature of a move means that doors will be open for long periods, and having animals wandering in and out can be dangerous for them and for those carrying your belongings.

• Most people wonder about whether to tip movers. Tipping is not compulsory in our industry, so it is totally up to you. If you feel your moving crew has done an exemplary job, by all means, show your appreciation that way. Whether or not you tip, you should expect excellent service. • Most moving companies are good about removing packing materials, crates, boxes, etc. when they leave. If anything is left behind, collect it yourself and dispose of it. • As items are moved out of rooms, take advantage of the opportunity to sweep, mop and clean what you can. Think about how you would like to ﬁnd the place you are moving into and act accordingly. Some people hire cleaners to come in and work their magic before turning in the key to the landlord or new tenants. You may even want to check your lease, as most leases and tenant agreements stipulate the condition of cleanliness. You don’t want to receive a bill from your old landlord because you didn’t fulﬁl your obligations at your old apartment when leaving. • Keep your cool. By moving day, you are likely to be tired and worried about all your items arriving at your destination without any damage. It’s all about common courtesy – treating others the way you would like to be treated – and it works both ways. That’s why at Two Men and a Truck – Canada, we follow “The Grandma Rule.” We treat everyone the way we would want our grandmothers to be treated, and we appreciate clients who do the same in return!

• Ask your movers to keep the radio down to avoid bothering small children or elderly neighbours who may be napping. • The physical nature of moving means that your movers will get thirsty and hungry. Although it is not necessary, offering cool drinks and some snacks is always greatly appreciated. Cold water and pop during the TheRentersGuide.ca summer or coffee and hot chocolate in the winter can go a long way to keeping movers refreshed and energized.

APARTMENT

Therapy:

Creating a landing strip BY JANE HERMAN

n this, the third installment of the six-week Apartment Therapy series, a total apartment makeover based on the book by Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, we’re going to de-clutter your entrance or hallway, give some thought TheRentersGuide.ca to what colours work best in your space, and focus on your living room.

TheRentersGuide.ca

décor

The front hallway Think of your entrance hall as a “landing strip” or filter for the outside world. This is where you can put things like your mail, keys, coats, hats, boots/shoes, etc., when you enter and go out of the apartment. As with your kitchen, begin by thoroughly decluttering and organizing this area. Remove everything from your hall closets, wipe down and vacuum all shelves and surfaces, putting back only what is necessary. If you have the space, a small bench with coat hooks and lower storage can be one of the best investments you can make. It will give you a place to hang your coat, store an umbrella along with baskets of hats, gloves and scarves, and quickly get dressed to go out every day. Designate an area in your apartment where you can easily sort and manage your mail, preferably near a recycling bin. I have two trays on my desk, one for personal mail and one for work, along with a series of files in a lower drawer. Open the mail, immediately toss all flyers and junk mail, discard the envelopes and sort into folders marked “personal/ social,”” financial,” “kids-school” or whatever you need. Only keep those magazines and catalogs that you use for work or reference or actually look at, either in a magazine rack, by your bed or on your coffee table.

Make repairs Get started with decorating by identifying any major repairs or modifications to your apartment that need to be done such as: installing closet shelving, painting, repairing appliances, floors, installing lighting fixtures, ordering window treatments. Follow up with your landlord or management office, and book any tradespeople, if necessary.

Make a colour scheme Colours affect us psychologically and most apartments are painted in a neutral colour. If you are just moving in and your landlord is planning to paint, you may be able to request specific colours. Reds, oranges, yellows, and beige/creamy colours are warm and stimulating and good in living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens. Blues, greens and greys are cool colours, and work well in bedrooms and offices. Neutral colours like black, white, and beige can look exciting and sophisticated when paired with stronger colours. Gillingham-Ryan suggests using 80 per cent neutral colours and 20 per cent strong colours.

The living room Look around your living room, and make note of what does TheRentersGuide.ca and doesn’t work. Either work with the colour of the room as-is, or choose a colour and arrange to have the room painted or do it yourself, if you feel competent. Review

TheRentersGuide.ca

what’s in your style tray, or collection of decorating books and magazines, and determine what furniture you need to purchase. If starting from scratch, I think it’s easiest to choose a rug as a focal point for the room, but if you have a strong preference for a major piece of furniture (like a leather couch), determine your priorities. The wall over the sofa is an important space so be sure to budget for something that will add character to this room. Buy wisely. Search carefully before you purchase and invest in the best quality you can afford, even if it means acquiring less or furnishing your apartment gradually. Don’t move on to the next step until you’ve completed this one. One of the goals of Apartment Therapy is to plan a housewarming party at the conclusion of the makeover. Get ready for this by making a guest list and cooking at least two meals at home this week. This will help keep you eating fresh food, presenting it attractively and getting used to using your kitchen and keeping it clean.

quicktips

Take time for yourself by Hellen buttigieg

Sometimes we get bogged down with all the to-do things on our list that we forget to take time for ourselves. Don’t forget to take sometime time to relax and enjoy the little things in life. | Live in the moment | We have become a society of multitaskers, but in an effort to be more efficient, we have robbed ourselves the pure pleasure that comes from performing simple tasks. Next time you wash dishes, fold laundry, or set the table, focus only on the task at hand. Engage your senses; notice the fresh smell of clean laundry, the rainbow colours in the soap bubbles, the beauty of a table set with care (candles, flowers and cloth napkins). You’ll feel less frazzled and more peaceful. | Let go of the “shouLds” | Next time you catch yourself thinking guilt-inducing things like, “I should go to the gym” or “I have to wash the windows”, shift your perspective. Find a way to make the task more enjoyable so you can replace the “shoulds” and “have tos” with “like to,””want to” or “could.” Reframing your thoughts in this manner puts you in control because you are deciding to do the task out of desire not criticism. Another option is to reevaluate the task to see if it really is a necessity or if you can drop it from your to-do list altogether. | Put yourseLf out there. | Life has a way of flowing effortlessly when we put ourselves out there. If there’s something you’ve been wanting in your life, take one small action towards it and notice how other things fall into place. It could be a simple phone call you’ve been putting off, a book you’ve been meaning to read or a website you’ve wanted to visit. Do it now TheRentersGuide.ca and have faith in the power of taking that first step. | tie uP Loose ends | Regularly schedule one hour a week to devote to tying up loose ends. These little TheRentersGuide.ca to-dos take less time than you think to

complete and yet, left undone, eat away at you, draining your energy and clouding your mind. If you finish in less than an hour, use the extra time to reward yourself with a special indulgence. | eLiminate cLutter | Are magazines and catalogues piling up on every flat surface in your office? If you’ve had them for over three months and still haven’t read them, it’s time to take an honest look at whether they are adding value or complicating your life. Go online and remove your name from catalogues you don’t read. Cancel magazine subscriptions that clutter your life, drain your energy and rob you of peace-of-mind. You can always purchase the odd magazine or two when you have some extra time to devote to reading (i.e. when you’re on vacation or home sick). | make biLL Paying easier | Paying bills can be time-consuming and difficult to keep track of, especially if they are due at various times throughout the month. Consider calling all your creditors and having the due dates on your monthly bills changed to either the 1st or the 15th of the month. Put a reminder on your calendar to insure that they’re paid on time. Consolidating tasks saves time and mental energy. | make Life easier | Items that are used together should be stored together to make tasks easier and save you time. Store all your car wash supplies in one bin; your gardening supplies in another. Imagine how much easier it will be to wrap gifts when your gift bags, cards, scissors, bows, tape and pen are all stored together.

The Truth about muTual fund fees more for advice when it is charged separately, rather than as part of the product package. The existing Canadian model serves investors well because they can easily identify their total costs and easily compare costs across funds. Do separate fees mean more – or less – advice? Unbundling of fees may lead to what experts call a “serious advice gap.”A survey of more than 2,000 adults in Britain found that charging separately for advice was prompting many people to stop seeking advice.

recent study by two highly respected research firms shows that owning mutual funds costs about the same in Canada and the U.S. In both countries, the cost (excluding taxes) is around 2 per cent.

This research is significant. In the past, comparisons between the two TheRentersGuide.ca countries did not recognize some key differences in how the costs are packaged. In Canada, the costs of the product and of the advisor’s time and support are all included together in TheRentersGuide.ca

the “Management Expense Ratio”, which investors can find on their quarterly statements. In the U.S., many investors pay a separate fee to their advisors, and this fee-foradvice is not included in the so-called “total expense ratio” shown on their quarterly statements. Therefore, if you compare the cost on the quarterly statements from both countries, the Canadian number will always look higher because the U.S. number doesn’t include all of the costs. Are fees higher when they are charged separately? The research found that many U.S. investors who pay for advice separately are paying more than they used to pay when the fees were included in the total charges. Firsttime investors and small to mediuminvestors are likely to pay much

As a result, many advisors in Britain are focusing on serving wealthier clients. Some experts predict that up to 5.5 million investors — 11% of the population — will not have access to advice as a result. Why is financial advice important? Credible research shows that having an advisor causes people to be more disciplined about their savings. This produces much better financial results for the investor. The difference can be as much as 2.5 times more wealth for people with advisors, compared to people that do not receive investing advice. Without the discipline to save that is reinforced by having an advisor, people will save less, and they may not have enough for retirement, leaving TheRentersGuide.ca them dependent on government programs. Average and small investors will be affected the most. NC

VISIT YOUR LOCAL

farmers market Want to enhance your visits to the farmers market?

1 2

ore and more, Canadians are flocking to farmers markets so they can put the freshest local foods on their dinner tables. A visit to the farmers market is more than just a shopping trip, it’s a true food experience. There, you’ll find topquality farm-fresh products, and buy them directly from the farmer who produced them, giving patrons and farmers an opportunity to connect. No wonder TheRentersGuide.ca farmers markets are growing in popularity: they’re the number two source for food buying in Canada, growing faster than any other segment, with an impact on the economy well into the billions of dollars. TheRentersGuide.ca

Arrive early for the best selection. Leave your purse at home – instead, bring a money belt with your coins and small bills, and reusable bags for your purchases.

Talk to farmers. Ask them about new and different products and how to prepare them, and give them a try – plan your meals around your purchases.

Go as a family. Kids will be more willing to try new things that they choose at the market. And, it’s a great way to spend time together as a family.

Turn to your senses to find the best items. Look, smell, feel and taste – it’s part of this unique shopping experience.

Take pleasure in the experience. Don’t rush – meet, mingle, savour the flavours and enjoy your day.

This August and September, Maple Leaf Prime chicken will be visiting local farmers markets in major centres across the country to share samples, produce pairing tips, recipe cards, money-saving coupons and more. It’s the perfect way to help you make family dinners the best part of the day. Check the schedule TheRentersGuide.ca of stops by visiting www.facebook.com/ MapleLeafPrime.

Renting

Do you want to live in a posh, exciting neighbourhood, but think that it is out of your reach? You might be mistaken. Renters Guide talked to Jodi Gilmour, of HGTV’s For Rent, about the possibilities when you ‘rent up.’ By Kim Carlton

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

Renters Guide: What is ‘renting up’?

RG: What are people looking for in a rental in one of these neighbourhoods?

Jodi Gilmour: ‘Renting up’ is a term I coined for people who rent in a neighbourhood where they couldn’t afford to buy.

RG: What is the appeal of renting in a neighbourhood that they could not afford to buy in?

JG: People who rent-up are looking for essentials; a place to lay their head at night, a functional bathroom, and a descent closet (because totally they’re into their ‘look’). They’re not really into their kitchens, since they probably only eat breakfast at home. The area is too good to stay home for more important meals! In fact, with one gal who was renting up in Rosedale, we turned her ample kitchen cabinetry into extra storage space for ‘cashmere and collagen.’

JG: Renting up is all about lifestyle! Since renting is generally less expensive than owning, renters can ‘live the life’ without having to pay the price. A neighbourhood would become popular for renting up if it’s a place you to go ‘to see and be seen.’

RG: How much could a person save renting instead of owning in a prime location?

JG: There’s no solid statistic, since cost to carry in different places varies so much! You can rent 650 square feet in Yorkville for $1800 a month, whereas the same unit would cost about $2200 a month to own, with a minimum down payment of five per cent ($20K), and $8K in unrecoverable land transfer tax. In this scenario, the renter saves 20 per cent per month, and can live there even if they don’t have 30 G’s kickin’ around.

RG: Is there a backlash from homeowners towards ‘renting up’ renters?

RG: Give me some examples in Toronto of hot neighbourhoods for renters?

JG: A girlfriend of mine spent a good part of her twenties renting up in Yorkville, Canada’s own Rodeo Drive. When she got married, she ended up buying twice the space just a few kilometers north along the subway line. King West and the Annex are other areas where loads of renters flock to, but could never afford to buy into.

RG: Are apartments different in these areas than in other areas?

JG: Not necessarily. Since the areas are usually fancy or TheRentersGuide.ca desirable in some way, that can be reflected in the real estate, but isn’t always. I’d say that people renting up often occupy the smaller, most affordable places.

TheRentersGuide.ca

JG: Renters and owners are in the area for the same reasons, so while there may be some differences between them, there’s also a sense of camaraderie.The owners can afford the Canada Goose jacket they’re sporting, while the renter is paying it off on their VISA, but everybody is warm and fashionable!

RG: Do you recommend ‘renting up’? JG: Everybody should live in an area that makes them giggle, or takes them out of their safety zone once in their lifetime. Since you can become sick of a certain lifestyle after a short while, often, renting up is just the ticket. Jodi Gilmour has been the host of HGTV’s For Rent and and a TheRentersGuide.ca featured contributor on Marriage Under Construction. HGTV.ca

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. For more than 60 years, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has been Canada’s national housing agency and a source of objective, reliable housing expertise.

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.

Create a

white room fantasy

Do you have white room envy? A busy life makes the vision of a tranquil space – where light pours through fine, billowing sheers onto a shiny white floor and across rich textures of beautiful minimalist furnishings – very appealing. It’s a fantasy place where the chaos of the world melts away, only to be replaced by a peaceful calm. But doing white right is hugely demanding and requires great discipline. White has rules. natural light is essential Natural light is full-spectrum. If it comes in from more than one direction, it sculpts the shapes in the room and brings white to life. Use white sheers to soften the look without reducing its light. Add shiny materials to bounce it around – polished marble, crystal and mirror, light silks and satins. If you don’t have lots of natural light, colour is a better option than white.

TheRentersGuide.ca

get the right white Pick white with the same care you would take to choose any other colour. People often use whites that are too pure, too cold and too loud. Their whites make it look as if you haven’t painted yet. Instead, choose a toned white such as Winter Mood (512-1) by PPG Pittsburgh Paints. It’s softer, but still luminous. The bigger the room, the deeper the white should be. Paraffin (PPG Pittsburgh Paints, 521-2) will look white but not empty. In the country, choose a white that is a little warmer or a little more grounded, such as Gravel (PPG TheRentersGuide.ca Pittsburgh Paints 416-2). It will take the formal edge off white and relax it.

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

Paint ceiling and trim the same white as the walls Or, to add a little interest without interrupting that sought-after white calm, add a pale bluegrey colour such as Icy Bay (PPG Pittsburgh Paints 551-1) to put sky on the ceiling. exPlore sheen Satin on the ceiling adds light and sparkle. High-gloss trim looks elegant in the city. Matte finishes are better in the country on all surfaces. colour reduction White is a snob. It likes its own company and finds any and every other colour an intrusion, so get rid of colour clutter and bring back only neutrals, very muted and faded pastels or, best of all, the colour that comes with natural materials such as wood (blondes preferred), and metals (preferably silver or pewter). For drama, use whiteâ€™s complementary colour â€“ black. less is more. Better is better. White rooms should not be overloaded with too much furniture, and each piece must be worthy of attention. White will not camouflage dirt, damage or disorder the way colour does. Everything is revealed in a white room, so furniture becomes sculpture. Good or bad, it takes centre-stage, so every piece should be well proportioned and timelessly appealing, and each should have air around it. This keeps the room TheRentersGuide.ca spacious and light on its feet.

go for textured and tactile While we covet white because it reduces the visual noise, it is very important to add tactile elements to keep it from looking and feeling clinical. Contrast shine and shimmer with a variety of textures, from fur (faux is fine), velvets and knits, to hand-scraped wood, hammered surfaces and raw, primitive items. go for seamless sensuality If you have come this far, why not indulge all your senses? Animate your white space with aromatic candles, flowers and music, and the white room fantasy will become your daily reality. NC

Five inspiring

IDEAS FOR A RAINY DAY

t’s the middle of summer holidays, the kids are off from school and the rain starts to fall. Easily keep the “I’m bored” complaints to a minimum with some of these rainy day activities: TheRentersGuide.ca

Put on a show – Get a group of kids together to stage a play or talent show. Try providing a theme and access to scraps from the attic, that’ll be enough to spike creativity and get the show started. Enjoy the rain – Try a different approach when it’s raining cats and dogs…head outside. Break out the boots, raincoats, layer on the socks, and step outside for some fun in the rain! Splash in the puddles, twirl the umbrella and stretch the vocal chords with “Singin’ in the Rain”. Enjoy some soup or a nice cup of hot chocolate afterwards. Teach your dog new tricks – Who says you can’t teach your dog new tricks? Keep your pet and child busy by introducing new tricks the family pooch. Reward pet and child with treats. Bring outdoor games in – Bring your favourite outside games inside by blowing up some balloons and play keep-away or ‘volleyball’. Also try using paper fans to play table tennis. Simply use the fan to blow the balloon across the table past an opponent to score a point. Get your game on –Don’t forget to stock the toy shelf with indoor games and toys that will keep kids entertained on their own. Try introducing a handheld gaming unit like the PlayStation. With many new games the experience is always fresh and exciting. This product is guaranteed to satisfy every age and interest. NC

A will is your most

personal document EvEry pErson should havE a will, which should covEr at lEast sEvEn EssEntial points to avoid difficultiEs in thE futurE, as follows: •

Make sure only one will exists.

•

Determine who you want as your executor—the person who will carry out your wishes in settling your estate.

•

Carefully plan for your dependents.

•

Name a guardian for young children.

•

Detail specific monies or gifts to friends, relatives or charities.

•

Consider what people or organizations mean a lot to you for the residue of your estate. One’s church, a charity, or a favourite organization like Amnesty International, are often on this list.

during your lifetime. It can also be the time to finally help those people and groups that you always intended to support but didn’t have the resources to do so. While everyone involved in estate planning agrees with the need to make a will, remember that it is, in fact, your will. Consider your own wishes and feelings. A will is an important document, but if it does not express your wishes, it is not done well. Talk it over. Consider the future. Make a draft. Think again. Your will is probably one of the most important, and personal, documents you will ever prepare.

TheRentersGuide.ca After you have taken care of these basic issues, you may want to consider a few other areas.

Laws about will-making and taxes vary from province to province and the specific wording to ensure that your wishes are carried out may require the help of a lawyer. Experts strongly recommend that you seek legal advice when making out your will.

A will is more than a simple outline of the final distribution of your property and effects. It is an occasion to plan for the financial TheRentersGuide.ca support of people and projects that you have actively supported

Disability insurance:

How well does your group policy fit? B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

magine the horror of being diagnosed with a progressively debilitating disease. Imagine the relief of knowing that while you have to stop working, you have a group disability plan that will help to make TheRentersGuide.ca ends meet. Imagine your disbelief when your claim is TheRentersGuide.ca declined by the insurance company because you just arenâ€™t disabled enough in their eyes. TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

finances

It happened to Cookie and it could happen to you. If you want to avoid a nasty surprise just when you can least afford it financially and emotionally, write down these questions, take them to your benefits administrator at work and make sure you understand the answers you’re given. What’s the policy’s definition of “disabled” and how long will benefits be paid? If you can’t do the job you were hired to do, will you be paid regardless of what other work you may be able to find? Will partial benefits be paid if you can only work for a few hours a day? A weak definition of disabled can be one of the biggest holes in a plan. Carol D. had a disability plan that covered her for her ‘own occupation’ for two years, after which it reverted to ‘any occupation’. That’s pretty typical of a group plan. The only way Carol could continue to collect after two years is if she were unable to do any work at all. As long as she could sit and hold out her hand, she could work as a parking lot attendant. How much am I covered for, and how will it be taxed? Most group policies cover employees for a certain percentage of their salaries - usually 60 to 75 percent. Some also have a cumulative maximum. But many people have no idea how much they’re covered for or even if their disability income will be taxed. Group policies paid for by an employer generate income that is taxed. Will your income be enough once tax is taken? If you pay the premiums directly from your after-tax income, your benefits are tax-free. Does my policy have a residual disability feature? In the case of a slow recovery or a slow deterioration from a progressive disease, this feature becomes very important. Without it, years may pass before your TheRentersGuide.ca claim can begin because you must meet the insurance company’s definition of “totally disabled”. That was the humbug in Cookie’s case. While Cookie couldn’t

TheRentersGuide.ca

work, the insurance company refused to accept that she was 60 per cent disabled and wouldn’t pay up, not till she got herself a lawyer, anyway. Since most group plans have limited benefits for residual disabilities, the seams of your safety net may not be as strong as you think they are. What are the exclusions on my policy? An exclusion is something you aren’t covered for and typical exclusions include travel outside Canada, pre-existing conditions, mental, nervous disclosure and alcoholism. The list can be wide and varied. And if your malady falls within the list, you’ve got a hole in your safety net. People often don’t carry individual disability insurance because they believe their group coverage is enough. Smart people who want to make sure that they and their families are well protected don’t rely on the off-the-shelf version. They look to an individual policy to supplement it. The other important issue in favour of an individual policy is that you may not always have your group plan. A change in jobs, the decision to stay home to raise a family or self-employment could all leave you with no coverage. And if this comes after you’re 35 years old, buying a new disability policy can get pretty expensive.

Buying disability coverage is complicated. Not only are there rigorous health criteria, you have to show proof of income relative to the coverage you’re applying for. That often excludes new entrepreneurs from coverage at least until they have a two-year earnings history. And as you get older, not only does coverage get more expensive, it becomes more difficult to qualify. Martha P. sought counseling during the year she was going through a very difficult divorce. Later she was denied for disability coverage because she had been under a psychiatrist’s care. You absolutely, positively need the help of a qualified insurance advisor when you go shopping for disability insurance. With so many sizes and styles out there, it’s very easy to buy one that looks good on the hanger but just doesn’t fit. Using a generalist will get you in trouble. The good fit comes with a fine tailor who can custom make a disability plan just for you.

Digital design

for the home

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

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

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

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

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

finances

Give your kids a financial hEad–start ExpErts EstimatE that it costs closE to $200,000 to raisE a child from birth to agE 18, not counting post– sEcondary Education. So when a new child joins a family, parents and grand-parents tend to think about starting an education fund like a Registered Education Savings Plan. While this is a very practical way to help the child get a head–start in life, it’s a tactic that’s limited to their education years. To find out if there are other long–term options to help get kids on the right financial path well into their adulthood, we spoke with financial expert Reh Bhanji from Desjardins Insurance. What would you suggest as another long–term savings product for TheRentersGuide.ca children? One option is a life insurance policy that the parents, grand-parents or another friend or family member purchase for the child. The child will then be TheRentersGuide.ca protected for his/her entire life and can

take advantage of an added savings component that is tax exempt. Your suggestion of a life insurance for a child is very unusual— Yes, that’s true. However, it’s the built–in savings component, not necessarily the death benefit, that makes this an attractive solution. how does it work? The insurance policy is purchased by the parents etc., on behalf of the child. And the premium is determined by the child’s age, health and other details. This amount remains level over a set number of years and never increases. Part of the premiums accumulate in a separate, tax–sheltered account and over time a portion of the cash value can be used to pay the policy premiums. What happens when they’ve grown up? When the child reaches the age of majority, the policy ownership can be transferred to them and continues to protect them for life. At this point, all

the premiums may have been paid. What’s great about this insurance is that it provides the child with a head–start on life. For example, the policy can be used as collateral when applying for a loan. Also, the child may have the option of purchasing more insurance without a medical review. This is called a Guaranteed Insurability Benefit. can they access the cash value? Yes, as the child grew so did the cash value. It’s accessible at any time and is subject to the available amount. The child can use it towards post–secondary education, travel, as an emergency fund or as a down payment on a home. Where can i find more information about the benefits of this type of insurance? Speak to your life insurance representative or financial advisor TheRentersGuide.ca who can offer you tips that best suit your situation.

Peanut butter

ice cream sandwiches Cool Summer TreaTS

ids and adults alike will love these peanut butter ice cream sandwiches. Consider making miniature versions for a barbecue or a kid’s summer birthday party. more great recipes can be found online at peanutbureau.ca.

Prep time: 20 minutes Bake time: 10 minutes Makes 12 ice cream sandwiches INGREDIANTS 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp (2 ml) each baking soda and salt 1 cup (250 ml) peanut butter 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup (250 ml) brown sugar 1TheRentersGuide.ca egg 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla 6 cups (1.5 l) chocolate, dulce de leche, or butterscotch ripple ice cream

DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a small bowl, whisk flour with baking soda and salt. Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl, beat peanut butter with butter until smooth. Beat in brown sugar, then egg and vanilla, scraping down sides to mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture. 2 If needed, flour your hands then roll dough into 1 1/2–inch (4 cm) balls. Place at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flour the base of a large glass and press on each ball to flatten cookie to about 3 inches (7.5 cm). Using floured tines of a fork, make criss-crosses gently on top of cookies. 3 Bake in centre of preheated oven until golden and barely set, and edges are brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and leave on baking sheet 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 4 For easier spreading, soften ice cream slightly. Top flat side of one cookie with about 1/2 cup (125 mL) ice cream. Then place flat side of another cookie on top, TheRentersGuide.ca sandwiching ice cream. Unfilled cookies will last well in an airtight container for about five days, or freeze. Ice cream sandwiches should be wrapped in plastic wrap, then overwrapped with foil. NC
