EDITORS’ NOTES

i

f renting an apartment over owning a home makes lots of financial sense for people in many different life situations.

Maybe you just can’t afford to buy a home or don’t want to spend your hard-earned money on one. Maybe you have a plan to buy a home in a few years and want to start saving for a down payment. Or maybe you’re simply not interested in the cost and commitment that come with being a homeowner. No matter why you’re renting an apartment, you need to know your rights as a tenant. As part of the process, your landlord must give you a copy of the agreement after you sign and return it. Since this document outlines all the terms you’ve agreed to, it’s an important document to have on hand.

You should avoid breaking a lease if at all possible. Each lease agreement has its own penalties for not honouring the outlined terms. Be sure to check your lease to make sure you can handle the financial ramifications that come with breaking a lease — before you break it.

oving day is a tough one, and I’m constantly seeing people make it harder on themselves than necessary. Why make bad turn to worse? You’ve known for months that you would be moving – this isn’t something to procrastinate about. Make a plan, stick to a schedule and save yourself the grief.

Here’s the key: From the time you decide to move right up until moving day, don’t stop packing. When you leave the packing until the last minute, three things happen. 1) You get stressed out and exhaust yourself. 2) You pack poorly, moving things that probably should have been discarded, or at the very least, cleaned up, because you don’t have time to think about it. 3) You get in the movers’ way. If you keep them waiting or inconvenience them, make them move extra boxes full of junk or don’t have everything ready so that they can pack the moving truck efficiently, your move will end up taking longer and, as a result, cost more. How do you justify an increased cost just so you can procrastinate?

I’m a reformed procrastinator, I speak from experience. Pack early, pack often and don’t make a tough day even tougher to get through. You’ll thank yourself when you unpack.

If you want to make the move, 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!

Daniels Gateway Communities

You won’t believe the opportunities a comfortable and quality-built residence that you and your family will be proud to call home” says Don Pugh, Vice President, The Daniels Corporation.

But that’s not all! When it comes to helping residents realize their dream of homeownership, Daniels really offers something truly unique with their Home Investment Program (HIP).

Daniels Gateway residents can earn a credit of $200 per month (up to $6,000) to put toward the purchase price of a new Daniels home.“Moving to a Daniels Gateway Community offers residents a double bonus: quality-built homes in familyfriendly neighbourhoods while at the same time the opportunity to own a new Daniels home in the future,” says Pugh.

When The Daniels Corporation sets out to accomplish a goal, they think outside the new home box and come up with creative ways to make different home options available, including the transition from renting to homeownership. In 1999, Daniels became the first major developer to introduce purpose built rental housing in over 20 years, resulting in the creation of Daniels Gateway Rental Communities. Now, 14 years later, Daniels has 28 Gateway Communities across the Greater Toronto Area and offers one of the most unique rental opportunities on the market today.

What makes Daniels Gateway Rental Communities so unique? Located within many of the company’s award-winning communities, the townhomes TheRentersGuide.ca and apartments are built with Daniels’ hallmark quality construction and feature air conditioning, five appliances and superb features in every residence. Plus, when it comes to service – residents are top priority.

Daniels Gateway takes great pride in maintaining clean, family-oriented communities, and in providing courteous and efficient service when it TheRentersGuide.ca comes to maintenance requests, questions and concerns.“We guarantee

Among its many initiatives, Daniels was chosen to partner with Toronto Community Housing to revitalize Regent Park – 69 acres in Toronto’s Downtown East. Committed to community, Daniels continually offers innovative programs that help people achieve homeownership, champions neighbourhood initiatives that enhance residents’ quality of life, and supports numerous charities and non-profit organizations.

Mississauga: streetsville

Historic and Picturesque

By Jane Herman

I

n 1818 Timothy Street, a resident of Niagara Township, was given the task of surveying the last remaining tract of land along the banks of the Credit River that was ceded to the British government. In return, Street was granted 1000 acres of land in the new Township and in 1824 this area became knows as “Streetsville.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

Timothy Street built a mill (which still stands today) and a home for his family and by 1850 the community had become the centre of commerce in the county.

Modern Streetsville lies centred along Queen Street (the TheRentersGuide.ca name of Mississauga Road south of Britannia Road), and 12G

north of Eglinton Avenue West. Known as the most original and inviting “Village within the City,” Streetsville contains the largest concentration of historic buildings in all of Mississauga. Merchants and residents are actively committed to preserving the town’s history, unique character and rich architectural heritage. Here you can take a self-guided historical walking tour, or just enjoy perusing the town’s charming shops, restaurants and coffee houses, which are set in the historic buildings.

Having Fun In Mississauga many parks are interwoven into the city’s residential areas, providing good walking trails and children’s TheRentersGuide.ca playgrounds for its residents. Streetsville and its environs are no exception. You’ll love the feel of the clean, fresh air and open space that surrounds you here. Mississauga also has

The perfect apartment is out there

By Jane Herman

T

here’s an apartment out there that’s perfect for you – but how do you find it? Knowing what you’re looking for can definitely simplify the process.

Start by getting a small notebook (or electronic tablet, if that’s your style) in which to write down addresses, phone numbers, listings and websites. A pocket folder can be useful for keeping important papers, such as tear sheets of ads and applications in one place.

1. Establish a budget Before embarking on your search, establish a price range you can realistically afford. Financial experts generally recommend that your rent be no more than 25 to 30 per cent of your gross monthly income. Don’t forget that you will have to put down a first-andlast-month’s rent deposit with your application.

2. Location Define the area in which you want to live.

At the outset, you may have more than one neighbourhood in mind, which is fine. As you progress through your search, various criteria will help you narrow down your options. Do you need to be close to public transportation or major highways?

Do you like the ambience or character of a particular neighbourhood? Do you want to be in the district of a particular school?

What you can get in your price range will also have an impact on your decision.

3. Clarify your vision Would you prefer to live in a highrise building – one that is six or more storeys, is likely situated on a main street, has one or more elevators, underground parking, on-premises laundry facility TheRentersGuide.ca and superintendent, and sometimes, onpremises recreation facilities and/or other amenities? Or would you prefer a quieter, low-rise building with fewer residents and amenities, that may be located on a TheRentersGuide.ca quiet side street? Perhaps you envision 20G

yourself living in something that has the feel of a private house, such as a duplex or fourplex, that you can enter directly from the street. Or maybe you’re just starting out, and like the simplicity and efficiency of a bachelor – or fantasize about living in an unconventional, spacious loft that’s a bit out of the way. Knowing what you’re looking for will help you to narrow down the options significantly as you wade through the “Apartments for Rent” ads.

4. Make a list of desirable/essential features and other details to note and carry it with you on your search, such as: # of bedrooms # of bathrooms Air conditioning or window sleeves where one can be added Balcony Cable Children (if applicable) Closets and storage (are they adequate for your requirements) Dishwasher Handicapped access Laundry facility Level of cleanliness (lobby, halls and common areas) Parking Pets Pool Smoking permitted Storage Superintendent

5.Search thoroughly Use a variety of resources including Renters Guide (in print and at therentersguide. ca) along with the Internet to ensure you consider all listings in your price range and preferred neighbourhood. Use the Internet to compare the location, features, prices and availability of different listings before you go to see the apartment in person.

Walking around your neighbourhood of choice can often yield additional options, since not every apartment for rent is advertised in print or even on the Internet; many buildings and private accommodations just post “vacancy” signs in front of the building. You may discover a beautiful old gem of a building tucked away near a park or ravine. Sometimes, if you have your heart set on a particular building, and there is a no “vacancy” sign outside, it may be worth trying to contact the superintendent as you could leave your name on a waiting list, or they may have an apartment coming up for rent just at the time you want to move in.

Finding the perfect apartment takes time and patience, but if you do your homework carefully you’ll surely succeed!

Modern Mixing with real Housewives While in VancouVer earlier this year as part of my western Canada media tour, I took a lot of inspiration in what the beautiful and busy city has to offer. Bringing the Cityline cameras with me, I visited the homes of inviting Real Housewives of Vancouver Amanda Hansen and Jody Claman, and found many great examples of my rules for mixing and matching your decor. Here are some ways you can bring real personality in your space, inspired by two ladies with character to spare.

Sleek and Subdued Amanda Hansen’s house, home to an artistic family, creates the perfect harmonious backdrop to creative projects (and the occasional messy experiment). Amanda’s interiors start with a simple palette: her white wall colour lets the 100+ year old TheRentersGuide.ca architecture speak for itself without fighting the furnishings for attention.

Try This At Home: Benjamin Moore’s OC-65 Chantilly Lace - it’s my favourite clean and neutral TheRentersGuide.ca white, free of green, beige or yellow undertones.

42G

here are four more ways to create a clean, contemporary mix like amanda’s: 1. Feel It Out: Whether making a traditional or modern mix, it’s important to use a range of textures to keep a stark palette from feeling sterile. Consider this list, and make sure to include at least five: paint, paper, velvet, silk, cotton, linen, wool, leather, metal, glass, wood, stone, plastic and plantlife. It’s easier than it sounds: Amanda’s space mixes a wood table, metal and plastic chairs, leaded glass windows, painted walls and multiple fabrics (sleek draperies and plush upholstery) before even getting to the accessories.

2. Add Modern Classics: The “Modern” period in furniture design is actually decades old, but timeless. Any home can benefit from the inclusion of a BRNO cantilevered steel-frame chair or, like Amanda’s house, a moulded plastic Eames-style seat – either infuses some sleek textures into your palette without appearing cold. Dabbling in a TheRentersGuide.ca little modernism actually adds personality that will make a space feel even more like your space.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Get the Look: Invest in the Eames classic from DWR.com, or find a look-alike in many furniture boutiques.

3. Create a Rhythm: While contrasting periods and materials, remember to keep a thread of consistency between pieces where possible: by repeating elements, you create a look that is purposeful rather than haphazard. For example: the combination of metal and clear glass/ plastic is found in her leaded windows, glass doored cabinet and cantilevered side chair. Reusing touches of a material throughout creates a rhythm that guests will sense, even if they can’t put their finger on it.

4. Light the Way: A consistent feature throughout the space is the use of “Edison Bulbs”. Combining these glowing-filament bulbs with architectural clear glass shades creates a mix of old and new that fits the home’s old-world character and create a warm, glowing ambience. You can find these bulbs at many decor shoppes for an inexpensive upgrade to an existing sconce or pendant.

Get the Look: Edison bulbs come in many shapes at Restoration Hardware - combine a few styles in the same fixture for eclectic charm. big and bold Jody Claman’s home, designed for a chef with a spicy personality, makes big statements: although her space uses lots of white (like Amanda’s), it’s kept to her eclectic furniture, and her walls are far from a blank slate: soft pink makes for a near-neutral with plenty of personality.

Try This At Home: Benjamin Moore’s CC-158 Apple Blossom

TheRentersGuide.ca

Moulded plastic Eames-style seat

BRNO cantilevered steel-frame chair

KOLJA square mirror

if you like a playful, modern mix like Jody’s, here’s my recipe: 1. Open Wide: Jody’s open concept space is not large, but is visually expanded to keep from feeling overstuffed: the floor to ceiling windows (overlooking Vancouver’s natural vistas) line an entire wall, with low-backed furniture keeping the sightline unbroken. Even if you don’t have this multi-million dollar view, you can choose low pieces to keep the eyeline as open as possible.

2. See Double: The two walls around the dining nook are mirrored floor to ceiling to more than double the visual space. Using the solid pieces of glass maximizes the visual effect, but you can also apply large mirror tiles to cover walls inexpensively.

Get the Look: Ikea.ca’s 24”x24” KOLJA square mirror (with bevelled edges for an elegant finish).

3. Quality over Quantity: Suiting her larger than life personality, Jody’s interior decor is not shy to embrace statement pieces. Her space includes oversized art (such as a wall-filling painting and life-sized pink statue) and a baby grand piano - dressing even a small room with pieces that make you say “wow” will bring more satisfaction than compromising on compact clutter.

4. Invite Everyone Over: To fit in the maximum amount of seating, combine generously sized sofas (or a sectional) with petite chairs – you’ll have room for a relaxed tea for two, or a lively soiree. Jody kept her seating predominantly white for a harmonious look - you can easily mix plush contemporary lounges with vintage or modern chairs as long as you keep some consistency in the colour palette.

Think protection when renting

by Ted WhiTehead

A

t the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO), we find that people often do not understand the importance of purchasing tenant insurance when they move into an apartment.

According to Statistics Canada, fewer than half of all tenants have this type of protection – and protection, it is.

As a renter, you are responsible for what happens in your unit. Household insurance should include a liability clause that will cover you should someone get injured in your apartment and sue. You may also be unaware that if you cause damage to other units in the building through your own carelessness, like water damage, for example, you could be liable for the repairs.

Renters who have not done their “homework” sometimes assume that the landlord’s insurance will cover them, when in fact, it does not. The property insurance which landlords purchase covers the building and their own personal liability. This means that your personal belongings are not protected unless you purchase tenant insurance that covers your stuff.

Let’s say the apartment building burns down. The landlord’s insurance would cover repairs to the structure, but you would have to purchase replacements for all of your personal furniture and other possessions. If that sounds like it’s not a big deal – think again.

People are usually astounded at the value of what they own. The best way to appreciate this fact is to take one room and list the items in it. Then write down what it would cost to replace each one and add it up. Clothing, shoes and coats can cost thousands.

TheRentersGuide.ca And, most people today own computers, entertainment equipment and other items that would be difficult to afford all at once if they were ruined by fire or water. Discuss the policy possibilities with your insurance agent. You can purchase a policy that covers what your possessions are worth in their used state, or you can buy a policy that covers replacement costs.

TheRentersGuide.ca

52G

Another reason to consider insuring your contents is that sometimes your items are covered outside of your apartment. If your laptop is stolen on a trip, as it is part of your property, it may be covered under your policy. It’s always worth checking with your agent or broker.

Additionally, if you are a student renting housing while in university, have your parents check as to whether you might be covered under their home insurance policy.

If you choose an apartment building that has successfully completed the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP), be sure to ask the building manager or property manager for advice about insurance.

The CRBP was created by FRPO to help ensure a high quality of life for tenants in certified buildings. Part of that commitment is to provide information to potential tenants that helps them to make their rental decision with confidence. It’s all about peace of mind.

For information on a variety of topics regarding renting an apartment in Ontario, visit www.frpo.org and www.crbprogram.org.

Youth Basketball program launched in toronto

T

he City of Toronto and partners recently launched the nine-week Steve Nash Youth Basketball program at an event featuring basketball skills and drills at TheRentersGuide.ca L’Amoreaux Community Recreation Centre.

TheRentersGuide.ca

64G

Joining City representatives and young participants at the launch were program partners Rowan Barrett, Assistant GM/Executive Vice President, Senior Men’s Program, Canada Basketball; Ron Yeung, Manager of Domestic Development, Canada Basketball; and Michael Cvitkovic, Executive Director of Ontario Basketball. “[The recent] launch of the Steve Nash Youth Basketball programs offers the participants the opportunity to engage in an activity that builds self-esteem, confidence and basketball skills,”said Councillor Anthony Perruzza (Ward 8 York West), Chair of the City’s Community Development and Recreation Committee.“This wonderful partnership that the City shares with Canada Basketball and Ontario Basketball fulfills our mutual objectives of getting more young people active at an early age.”

“The quality of life of all Torontonians is front and centre in everything we do,” said Councillor Mike Del Grande (Ward 39 Scarborough-Agincourt).“Partnering TheRentersGuide.ca with Canada Basketball and Ontario Basketball has enabled us to engage more community members in activities that lead to a sense of unity, encourage healthy development and promote sportsmanship and healthy living.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

Steve Nash currently plays point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers and is General Manager of the Senior Men’s National Team for Canada Basketball. The Steve Nash Youth Basketball program, which was developed by Canada Basketball and endorsed by Steve Nash, teaches fundamental basketball skills, sportsmanship and an appreciation of the sport. The program works with Toronto’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation division to positively influence young people through basketball. The program engages children and youth age six to 14 to highlight their potential and build character, discipline and self-esteem.

The program follows the guidelines of Sport Canada’s LongTerm Athlete Development model. The program’s format works in conjunction with the basketball programs offered by Parks, Forestry and Recreation.

“Ontario Basketball is thrilled to partner with the City of Toronto and Canada Basketball for the growth of basketball by way of Steve Nash Youth Basketball,” said Cvitkovic.“Basketball participation is reaching historic heights in our province. It is important for us to continue to develop key partnerships aimed at improving access and providing appropriate skill development opportunities for youth in Ontario.”

The program offers step-by-step instructions and curriculum along with turn-key operations guide and coaching manuals and a proven method of operation.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation to offer the Steve Nash Youth Basketball program to youth across the city,” said Michele O’Keefe, Executive Director of Canada Basketball.

“Through this program, it is our hope to grow the game by increasing the participation base at the grassroots level while ensuring we invest and develop quality coaches through training and structured program support.”

Participants receive certified coaching by National Coaching TheRentersGuide.ca Certificate Program (NCCP) trained coaches. The NCCP program is delivered by the government of Canada, provincial/ territorial governments and national, provincial and territorial sports organizations. The young participants also receive

TheRentersGuide.ca

a Steve Nash Youth Basketball reversible jersey, basketball, certificate of participation, parents guide, Canada Basketball national membership and Ontario Basketball membership.

Coaches receive the Steve Nash Youth Basketball Coaching CD manual with sample drills, teaching tips, modified rules and checklist, lesson plans and an introductory guide to athlete development and growth, as well as Canada Basketball and Ontario Basketball memberships.

Parks, Forestry and Recreation intends to pilot the program at L’Amoreaux Community Recreation Centre, North Kipling Community Centre, Wellesley Community Centre, Driftwood Community Centre and as part of a basketball program for girls at Lawrence Heights Community Centre.

Toronto is Canada’s largest city and sixth largest government, and home to a diverse population of about 2.8 million people.

Toronto’s government is dedicated to delivering customer service excellence, creating a transparent and accountable government, reducing the size and cost of government and building a transportation city.

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

coLd Peanut sesame noodLes with sPicy red curry sauce

directions In a large pot of boiling water, cook the noodles until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water until chilled. Shake out the excess water and blot dry.

Meanwhile, purée the peanut butter, curry paste, vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, salt and red pepper flakes and water in a food processor or blender until smooth. In a large bowl, toss the noodles with the peanut sauce and sliced green onions and mix well, until the noodles are well coated. Season to taste with salt and stir in some of the reserved cooking liquid from the pasta to loosen the sauce, if necessary. Serve the noodles in a decorative bowl or platter, and garnish with sesame seeds and more cilantro.

A

simple dish with complex flavours, this Thai-inspired Cold Noodles with Spicy Red Curry & Peanut Sauce is the perfect thing for a spicy and exotic craving. Cold noodles are unique to Asian cooking, and the mouth watering combination of peanut butter, red curry paste, rice vinegar, lime juice, cilantro and chopped scallions come together to create a thick and velvety spicy sauce. Topped with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro, these noodles are a flexible dish that can be eaten either warm or cold, and can also be adapted to your favourite noodle, from Japanese buckwheat soba noodles, Thai rice noodles or Chinese egg noodles to even fettuccine, linguine or spaghettini. The sauce is so delicious, it could even be used as a marinade or dipping sauce for grilled chicken, pork, fish or seafood. ingredients serves 4-6 ›TheRentersGuide.ca 12 oz fettuccine, Chinese egg noodles, or rice or soba noodles › 2/3 cup peanut butter › 1 tbsp red curry paste › 2 tsp rice vinegar › 1 lime, juiced ›TheRentersGuide.ca 1/3 cup of fresh cilantro, plus more for sprinkling 76G

› 1 tsp red pepper flakes › 1/2 cup water › 3 green onions, thinly sliced › 1 tsp kosher salt › 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish

quicktips

Don’t bring

bedbugs home from your travels

• Use a flashlight to inspect the inside of the closet, paying special attention to any cracks.

• Place your shoes in an open area and do not store anything under the bed.

• If you find signs of bedbugs, notify the front desk and ask for another room, or stay somewhere else. If you change rooms in the same hotel, make sure your new room is not next to, above or below the possibly infested room. Inspect your new room.

When you return home: • Before bringing your luggage in, place it on a hard, light-coloured surface, and check it carefully.

• Unpack your clothing and inspect personal items, including your hairbrush and cosmetic case.

B

edbugs are showing up everywhere - from five-star hotels to buses and private residences - and some communities have been harder hit than others.

Although not known to transmit disease, their bites can cause itchy welts, and some people may experience more serious skin irritation.

About the size and shape of a small apple seed, bedbugs can hide in the tiniest of cracks and come out to feed at night. Black or brown spots on a mattress, sheets, bed frame or walls are signs of a bedbug infestation. Bedbug eggs, which are usually laid in cracks, are white, about a millimetre long and almost impossible to see on most surfaces.

Here are some tips to avoid bringing bedbugs home when travelling: • Don’t bring your pillow with you.

• Thoroughly inspect your hotel room before allowing children or pets in.

• Place your luggage on a tile floor (like in the bathroom), away from any upholstered (soft) surfaces. After inspecting the luggage stand straps, keep TheRentersGuide.ca your luggage on the stand and pull the stand slightly away from the wall (instead of unpacking your belongings and placing them in drawers).

• Slowly lift up each corner of the mattress and examine all creases and tufts of the mattress and box spring. Check the pillows, bed coverings, bed skirt, bed frame and legs, the wall behind the bed and behind the headboard, and any TheRentersGuide.ca items near the bed such as an alarm clock.

• Wash all clothing and fabric items in hot water, even if you didn’t wear them.

• Place non-washable items in the clothes dryer on the highest heat for 30 minutes.

• Vacuum your luggage. Discard the vacuum bag in a sealed garbage bag right away. For a bagless vacuum cleaner, empty the dust collector into a garbage bag and throw out the bag immediately.

Afterwards, wash any vacuum attachments you used and the dust collector in hot water with detergent.

For assistance in dealing with bedbug infestations, contact your local public health office. Up-to-date information on how to prevent and deal with bedbugs is posted at www. healthycanadians.gc.ca, or contact TheRentersGuide.ca Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency toll-free at 1-800-267-6315 or by email to pmra. infoserv@hc-sc.gc.ca.

Eggs benedict recipe

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

directions: COOK hollandaise sauce according to package directions. Keep warm.

BLANCH asparagus in boiling water until tender crisp about, about two to three minutes. Set aside.

asparagus has an amazing flavour, a burst of freshness that can liven up any dish. It’s a healthy, nutritious choice. Adding freshly picked, locally grown asparagus into your breakfast or brunch is a simple, unexpected way to energize your body with essential vitamins and minerals and start the day off right.

Fibre is also an essential nutrient and a vital part of healthy eating. Did you know that one slice of bread contains as much fibre as one cup of asparagus? Sufficient fibre helps you maintain a healthy weight as it keeps you feeling full longer without adding extra calories.

TheRentersGuide.ca

rom groceries to the hydro bill, every family needs to watch their pennies.

“A family needs a budget that everyone can follow,” said Dennis Tew, father of three and chief financial officer of Franklin Templeton Investments Corp.“Ensure you track expenses and plan for costs. This will help you save more and spend less.”

Here are a few ways to get your family budget on track: Recurring expenses. Track your monthly spending on your home, food, transportation, utilities and loans. Consider TheRentersGuide.ca giving to charity on a regular basis too.

Occasional expenses. Birthday gifts, entertainment, dining out, school trips and clothing can quickly add up. Ensure you watch these expenses closely.

Emergencies. Build up some savings in an emergency fund.

A rule of thumb is three months of your income.

Save for the future. Put some money aside for a new home, car or family vacation. Remember to contribute to an RRSP and RESP. Paying off debt should be a priority too.

Consider asking a financial advisor to help you plan and budget. More tips on how to save for the future are available at www.franklintempleton.ca. NC

10 top design tips for renters

By Lucie Grys

Y

ou don’t need to blow the bank to make your rented apartment or house feel like home.

With these 10 quick and affordable, landlordapproved design tips, you’ll be living la dolce vita in no time.

1

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

you want your space to be a respite from your busy life, chose off whites, pale blues and natural colours to relax you.

Once you’ve picked a theme, you’ll find it’s a lot easier to focus on creating your perfect space. Marta Nicholson of Moda Interior Design in Winnipeg, Manitoba notes, “we need to remember that in today’s time with busy schedules, the place that we call home needs to be a

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

2

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

3

the party is in the kitChen Everyone knows that the real party always ends up in the kitchen. But if you’ve inherited ugly cupboards and a leaky faucet, you might just choose the keep the lights off. If you are a neat freak and don’t mind your plates and cups being exposed, unscrew your cabinet doors and go for the open shelving look.

Prop your dishware so it looks like a magazine stylist did it, and hide your cupboard doors under your bed for when you decide to move and have to put them back up. Another quick fix that can update any dated kitchen is to splurge on a great looking faucet. For about $100, you can modernize your kitchen, and paired with some bold tea towels, a vase of fresh flowers and a bowl of apples, lemons or limes, you’ll create a real designer look for less.

4

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

TheRentersGuide.ca

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

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

bistro table with a few folding chairs and picking up some pre-planted flowers or ferns can create a lot of visual interest.

Keep the theme and colours consistent with your interior and make the time to enjoy your outdoor oasis and dine al fresco.

Create a home offiCe If working on your laptop in front of the TV is taking its toll on your

back, pick a corner or a small closet and make a home office. Wireless printers can be stored in a wardrobe or behind a cupboard, install a few floating shelves for supplies in neat boxes and pick up a stool that can be easily tucked away. The trick is to keep the space clutter-free and well-organized.

9

store it wisely With space at a premium, being clever with storage ideas will help to

free up living space. Invest in an

save or splurge?

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

inCrease your living spaCe When patio weather hits, and if you are lucky enough to have some outdoor space, use it wisely. Instead of your balcony being a storage space for your bike, treat the space like an outdoor room. Throwing down an outdoor rug to

as a coffee table and can also divide a living room from a dining nook. Pick up a wardrobe to hide away your TV, stereo, DVD and extra linens and towels. Use closet space wisely and pick up some stacking shelves for seasonal items like winter boots and bulky sweaters.

10

keep it Clean Enjoy that new place feeling for as long as you can, take the

time to unpack all of your boxes and put your treasures away. Living out of cardboard boxes isn’t fun. Sweep up and TV and tables, recycle junk mail so it doesn’t pile up on kitchen counters and be proud of your home. Invite your friends and family over to share your space and even if you don’t own your home yet, live as if you do.

Colour-coding takes the guesswork

out of replacing smoke alarms

W

e all know how essential it is to install smoke alarms in our homes, and to replace them every 10 years whether they are battery powered or hardwired. But one lingering question remains: What type of alarm should be installed in which location? With answers to this, industry leader Kidde Canada gets rid of the guesswork with its new line of ‘worry-free’ alarms. Each one is colour-coded to suggest where best to install it, and has features that match.

Targeted areas are hallways, near kitchens, in bedrooms, and in general living areas.

“Installing or replacing smoke alarms shouldn’t be confusing,” says Carol Heller, a home safety expert for the company. “We make it simple to find the right alarm for each room in your home by identifying the recommended TheRentersGuide.ca location right on the package.”

Specific alarm features match its recommended use. For example, a talking alarm that speaks out a warning for fire is recommended for bedrooms. An alarm with a powerful TheRentersGuide.ca LED light is suggested for hallways. An alarm that has

both a smoke and CO sensor is suggested for general living areas – and one that is designed to significantly reduce false alarms is recommended for near the kitchen.

As well, all new models have sealed lithium batteries that last 10 years from activation. That means no more batteries to replace until it’s time to replace the alarm itself.

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).

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.

Top 5 healthy ways to substitute with tofu

T

he rising rates of obesity and other diet related ailments have caught the attention of Canadians as more than ever we’re looking for ways to prepare healthier and lighter meals. Many people understand that an important way to eat healthier is to reduce meat and dairy in the diet, but confess, they don’t have a clue where to start. Here’s the skinny on tofu.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Food specialists say you can substitute tofu to strike a healthy balance. With these substitutions even chocolate cake and other sinful desserts can be healthier.

5 TOFU SUBSTITUIONS 1 cup buttermilk = 1/2 cup (125 ml) soft tofu blended with 1/3 cup (85 ml) water and 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice - very close to buttermilk flavour - buttermilk is a bit more sour.

1 cup cottage or ricotta cheese = 1 cup (250 ml) medium firm tofu, well-drained and mashed.

1 cup cream cheese = 3/4 cup (175 ml) medium firm tofu, well-drained and mashed, blended with 1/4 cup (60 ml) margarine and 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice.

1 cup yogurt = 1 cup (250 ml) soft tofu and 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice.

1 cup sour cream = 3/4 cup (175 ml) medium firm tofu, well-drained and mashed, blended with 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil and 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice.

Sunrise also points out that cooking with tofu doesn’t require learning a new skill set. It can be easily added into some of your favourite recipes, either by substituting dairy and animal products, or complementing them for an added health boost.

Crumble tofu into lasagna, chili, tacos, and Greek salad to replace or complement meat and cheese. Marinate it in your favourite sauces to soak up all the delicious flavours. Grill, bake or fry it. You can even blend it into smoothies, soups, dips and sauces to replace or TheRentersGuide.ca reduce high fat dairy products. More recipe ideas and tips on preparing tofu can be found online at www.sunrise-soya.com. NC

The right home tools

for a healthier lifestyle

E

ven with the best intentions, many people who decide to live healthier lifestyles fall back into old, familiar habits much sooner than they would like.

To maintain motivation and create a routine that is both sustainable and effective, it’s important to invest in the right tools for every room in your house.

Kitchen Diet is crucial to overall wellness, and proper nutrition will help you stay energized and inspired to make other healthy strides. Unfortunately, some think making healthy meals is too time-consuming and often make less nutritious decisions in the name of convenience. But with the right tools, creating a wide variety of tasty, wholesome options is quick and simple. You can make nutrient-packed green smoothies, steaming hot soups and healthy frozen treats in minutes using a high-performance blender.

For example, with the new Vitamix 7500, simply toss whole fruits or vegetables into the blender, choose the settings, and in a matter of seconds the machine’s unmatched power and versatility will create dishes that are good for you and taste great. The new model features easy controls and a compact design that will fit into most kitchen spaces—as well as your new, healthy lifestyle.

Bathroom That old bathroom scale won’t do you any good if it isn’t accurate. To monitor the benefits of your healthy habits and find motivation to continue to make healthconscious choices, invest in a new digital scale. Although many scales come with additional features, such as body-index calculators and memory storage of your latest weigh-ins, consistent readings are the most important way to follow your progress.

There’s no need to spend a fortune on a new tracking tool as long as your scale is easy to read and operate, and gets high marks for accuracy. If your bathroom storage space is limited, seemingly endless styles and sizes ensure that you can find a scale that fits any décor.

Bedroom Sleep is crucial to living well, and making sure your body is well-rested will help every other aspect of your healthy efforts. Having a supportive, but comfortable mattress and pillow will do more than you may think to help your body get the renewing rest it needs. If you wake up with aches and pains, can feel coils, see depressions in the surface or have had your current mattress for more than 10 years, you likely need to purchase a new one. There are many types of mattresses to choose from, including innerspring, foam, no-flip and pillowtop selections. After researching your options, go to a store to test mattresses before purchasing to ensure you are getting exactly what you want. Carefully read the instructions to care for your new mattress properly and make sure your bed pillows are supportive of the neck and head for a superior night’s sleep.

Closet Exercise is important to a healthy lifestyle, and the right shoes are essential to any fitness routine. Whether you take an aerobics class, run, cycle or play a competitive sport, proper athletic shoes will provide the support and protection you need. The wrong type or improperly fitting shoes can cause serious discomfort and even injury. Not all athletic shoes offer the same benefits, so don’t purchase walking shoes to wear for running, playing basketball, or for any other athletic activity.

And despite common belief, adult feet do grow and change, so don’t assume you are the same size you were last year. Even if you plan to purchase online, go into a sports shoe store with knowledgeable staff to ensure you find the right features and fit.

Armed with the right tools, you can reach TheRentersGuide.ca your goals and reap the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

Consider cooking with

canola oil

T

he bright yellow canola fields that span the Prairie provinces produce some of the healthiest cooking oil in the world. Canola seeds are crushed to form canola oil, a top choice for hearthealthy cooking oil.

“Health professionals recommend that sources of saturated fat be reduced and replaced with unsaturated fat,” says Shaunda Durance-Tod, a registered dietitian with the Canola Council of Canada. She adds that “canola oil contains less saturated fat than other common cooking oils – just seven per cent. It is also rich in monounsaturated and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, and provides vitamin E as well as plant sterols.”

What many people may not know is that the vast majority of canola planted across Canada has been enhanced through biotechnology to make it resistant to herbicides.

According to CropLife Canada, herbicide-tolerant canola is part of a sustainable farming system and helps reduce soil erosion, conserve soil moisture and protect TheRentersGuide.ca valuable wildlife habitat.

TheRentersGuide.ca There are a number of ways you can incorporate canola oil into your diet. Try adding it to your morning smoothie, which will provide omega 3 fats and vitamin E along with a smoother taste. NC

SAVING FOR TOMORROW

S

aving for retirement may

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

TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

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

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

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

Contribute regularly to your RRSP: Consider weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly contributions – this may be easier for you to do than making one large annual contribution.

Go automatic: Consider taking advantage of an automatic RRSP contribution program or other regular investment program– this is a good way to establish a savings habit.

Manage your debt wisely: Liberate funds for your savings goals by reducing your total interest costs – for example, consider paying down highest interest debt TheRentersGuide.ca first, such as credit card balances.

How to make moving

easier on your kids

W TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

hen adults decide to move, it’s often to pursue an exciting opportunity or discover a new place. But for children, moving can be much harder TheRentersGuide.ca to understand, as often they’ve only known one place as home.

TheRentersGuide.ca

like favorite toys, books or stuffed animals. Have the movers pack these boxes last so they are the first thing that is unloaded when you arrive. If you are moving a long distance, have each child pack another bag with items to keep them entertained during the trip.

• Form a moving team. Creating roles for your older children so they can help you move can make your move go quickly and smoothly. If possible, arrange for somebody to watch your younger children so you can focus on moving tasks. Hiring movers can also help take some of the pressure off you so you can tend to your children. Your younger children may also be thrilled by the chance to see the moving truck up close, so take the time to show them.

• Help them feel at home. Showing your children new parks and other attractions in your new community will help them feel excited about their new home. Plan ahead to get them enrolled in activities with other children so they can quickly make new friends. However, be sure to explain to them that making new friends takes time, so they aren’t discouraged if it doesn’t happen for them right away. Communicate with their teachers to see if there’s anything special you can do to help your children feel more comfortable at school.

As you travel through adulthood, the unknown becomes more alluring, but it’s because you’ve been through major life changes before. That’s why it’s important to take some steps to make this major transition easier on your kids. Here are some tips from the moving experts at Penske truck rental for helping your children adapt to a new place, along with some practical moving advice for families:

By doing the little things to help your children cope with the tough parts of moving, you’ll put them in a position to acclimate themselves to their new home quickly and easily. For more helpful moving tips, visit www.pensketruckrental.com.

• Open a line of honest communication. It can be hard to tell your kids that they’ll be moving, but making sure that they know they can talk about how they’re feeling about the move is important. Try to keep the conversation positive by telling them about all the fun things they’ll be able to do in their new home, but acknowledge that they’ll feel some sadness about leaving their old one.

• Help them say goodbye. Organize a going-away party for your children and their friends, and work with the parents of their friends to gather contact information so they can keep in touch after you move.

• Take inventory. Take a minute with each child to go through toys and clothes to see what can be donated. By letting them help with these decisions, you can eliminate any angst that might come if they realize something they wanted was left behind when you get to your new home.

TheRentersGuide.ca

• Pack a first-day box. Have each child pack a box of things that they will want the first day you move into your new home,

What to do

WHEN YOU CAN’T SLEEP

T

here are many causes of occasional sleeplessness; everyone may suffer at some point in their life. Sleep issues aren’t just a modern problem tied to the hustle and bustle of today’s hectic world.

Throughout recorded history, philosophers, poets and scientists around the world have mused over the importance of sleep to physical and mental health.

The following questions may help you find the right product for you: Do you have trouble falling asleep?

If you are having trouble falling asleep due to occasional sleeplessness but are not experiencing pain, try a singleactive ingredient sleep-aid product containing either diphenhydramine or doxylamine succinate.

Across time and geographies, people have been searching for sleep remedies as far back as 2800 B.C. Instead of concocting special elixirs with exotic plants and animals, today you can simply head to your pharmacy. However, navigating the sleepaid aisle can be overwhelming because there are so many products and knowing which one is right for your needs can be challenging.

Do you have occasional sleeplessness accompanied by aches or pains?

If so, consider a sleep-aid that contains a pain reliever, such as acetaminophen or a non- steroidal anti-inflammatory, such as Ibuprofen. Look for pain reliever plus sleep-aid combination products within the pain section of the sleep-aid aisle.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Do you prefer a natural supplement?

Dietary supplements such as chamomile, valerian or melatonin are available in the supplement portion of the sleep-aid aisle.

For example, Vicks ZzzQuil, containing diphenhydramine, is an effective sleep-aid just to help you fall asleep, so you can wake refreshed. More information can be found at www.zzzquil.ca.

TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

These questions are meant to serve as a guide. Speak with your physician if your sleeplessness persists for more than two weeks. NC

Place mushrooms stemless side down onto baking sheet. Place in oven for about three minutes. 5. Remove mushrooms from oven and turn over. (If your mushrooms are particularly watery, you may need to pat sheet dry or use a clean baking sheet). 6. Add one to two whole hazelnuts to the bowl, depending on mushroom size. 7. Top with one to two half-inch, thin slices of brie. 8. Top with cranberries. 9. Mix rosemary and salt evenly and sprinkle over mushrooms. 10.

finances

The five worst

money mistakes

T

he financial decisions you make today will determine your future wealth, income and happiness. It’s important to take your time and avoid these five common blunders:

1 Investing without advice Seek the guidance of a good investment advisor. A qualified professional will work with you to develop a plan that will enable you to reach your long-term financial goals. If you don’t already have an advisor, websites such as franklintempleton.ca can give tips on how to find one.

2 No budget, no plan

Keep track of your spending and live within your means. Pay down debt and be mindful of borrowing costs. Plan ahead for extraordinary costs and major purchases such as vacations and cars.

3 Not thinking about the long-term

Open a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and make monthly contributions.

An RRSP will help trim your tax bill too. “Make your money work for you,” says Don Reed, president and CEO of Franklin Templeton Investments Corp. “Investing for the long-term in a prudent mix of equity and fixed income funds will help you achieve your future financial goals.”

4 Thinking that “it won’t happen to me”

If you have a family, it’s essential to have insurance. Ensure that your plan will take care of the people who depend on you as a chief income earner.

TheRentersGuide.ca

5 Living paycheque to paycheque

The future is unpredictable. It makes sense to build an emergency fund and be financially prepared for unforeseen events such as unemployment, illness and death.

An insiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guide to

creating a stylish and functional nursery

M

oms seem instinctively to know the importance of creating a special nursery space where they can bond, interact and love every moment with their baby. In fact, a survey from PlaytexBaby found that an overwhelming majority of moms (87 percent) agree that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential to put time into making the nursery a great space for their little one.

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

stylefile

Yet often times, creating a nursery can be daunting, as moms strive to ensure this space provides functionality, while also conveying a certain style. To help simplify the process, celebrity nursery designer and founder of Bratt Decor, Mary Bauer, provides expert tips to help moms get started.

“Moms are spending so much time in the nursery each day, so they want to create a room that is fun and stylish, but also one that’s functional - and you can have both,” says Bauer. “By following a few simple tips when creating a nursery, moms can ensure that their journey is easy and enjoyable, and that they end up with the ideal nursery space for herself and her baby.”

Bauer’s tips include: Make the most of your room size: If you have a small space, avoid using small-scale furniture. Instead, use a few normal-sized pieces, and choose TheRentersGuide.ca furniture that can do double duty - like a changer that’s a dresser, or an ottoman with a storage compartment.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Using soft, cool tones will also make your room feel larger.

Create a convenient changing space: Ensure that your changing table is well-stocked with baby wipes, diapers and an extra set of clothes right at your finger tips, so you never have a reason to leave your baby unattended. Position your diaper pail right next to the changing table and choose a pail that makes the whole process as easy as possible. The Diaper Genie II Elite Pail offers a convenient foot pedal, allowing you to hold your child and dispose of a diaper at the same time.

Make it personal: Adding personality to your decor doesn’t have to be super expensive - create your own personal touches in your nursery to make it meaningful to you. Include vintage photographs, your baby’s silver cup, framed family heirloom christening gowns, or anything else that means a lot. This gives heritage to a brand new space, and makes it all your own.

Secure your sleep haven: Whatever your budget is, don’t scrimp on the crib - it’s the place where your baby spends the most time without you and should be a safe and comfortable space. Check out the crib buying guide, safety reports and recalls through the Health Canada website – www.hc-sc.gc.ca – before making your purchase. Many models have been recalled in the last few years, and most drop-side models have been both recalled and taken off the market.

It’s best to buy new, but if you’re being given a crib make sure to check that it meets today’s safety standards and hasn’t been recalled.

Create a timeless feel: No one wants to redo their rooms every year with the changing trends. Keep furnishings which are the big ticket items - timeless in design, and add trends with more affordable accent items like bedding and paint.

safety

Remember window cord safety

when little ones visit

W

hen little ones come to visit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether they are our grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we want to make sure our home is safe. We check for potential hazards, and put the precious breakables out of reach.

However, one area we almost never think about is the risk posed by our window blinds.

Any cords on a window covering can pose a strangulation hazard. This includes operating cords used to raise and lower or tilt the blind, and cords which are internal, or cords on the back of the blinds. Strangulation occurs silently and quickly, and by the time a parent or caregiver checks on the child, it is often too late.

Strangulations can happen even when children are in places where parents think they are safe, such as in a crib or in a bedroom. Children aged 12 months to 36 months old are most at risk of strangulation.

In homes where children live or visit, the safest window coverings are cordless. If you can, change the window coverings in your home to cordless blinds. If you cannot replace your corded window coverings, always make sure the cords are up high and out of reach of children, whether the blinds are up or down. Never put a crib, bed, high chair, or playpen near a window or a patio door where a child can reach a blind cord. When possible, move sofas, chairs, tables, shelves or bookcases

TheRentersGuide.ca

away from windows to help prevent children from climbing up to reach the blind cord.

Five ways to live large,

even in a small space

I

f you’re feeling too confined, there are ways to easily maximize your space. Go from cramped to comfortable with these tips and realize that you too can live larger with less.

TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

1

Contain it The more items in view, the more compact the room appears. To prevent overcrowding, contain as much as you can in stylish storage, then designate a spot for every belonging, leaving only a few items on tables and desks.

Line up storage pieces side-by-side for an orderly look that, along with uncluttered surfaces, makes the room feel more spacious.

2

Furniture that fits Replace large and overstuffed furniture that overwhelms with trim, tailored pieces more in scale with the space.

Next, invest in as many multi-tasking pieces as possible, like a coffee table that doubles as seating that also has built-in storage, or a compact drop-leaf table that opens up to a desk or dining table.

3

Lighten up with window dressing No one likes a dark space. Even if the home feels cavelike with fewer windows than desired, capitalize on what you currently have. Add mirrors that act as virtual windows to enhance the light a room receives. Brighten the room with window coverings that make the most of natural light. Try Silhouette window shadings, with the Signature S-Vane, from Hunter Douglas. The product’s patented design softens harsh sunlight as it enters while drawing it deeper into the room and offers view-through and protection from UV rays to boot.

4

Colour that creates space As colour is one of the most powerful ways to affect a space, watch walls recede by choosing the right ones. Bold and warm hues make a room feel cozy, while light and cool tones instantly expand the space. Try light yellow, soothing soft blue or always-complimentary ivory on walls.

5

Divide and conquer – Another way to enhance a small space Sometimes what matters most, is to not just have an open design, but a place of one’s own. In order to carve out a space without costly construction, try using Hunter Douglas Provenance woven wood shades just now available in a vertical drapery option for a perfect room divider. The shades add rich texture to a space and come in a variety of fabrics from sheer to opaque, refined grasses to intricate patterns.

With a few creative additions and changes, you can transform a confined home anyone and everyone can’t wait to crawl out of, into a spacious homeTheRentersGuide.ca to settle into.

quicktips

Loyalty programs:

Five insider tips to maximize rewards According to Ken Wong, Queen’s School of Business, “even when a consumer can pinpoint their preferences and desired reward, there are still hundreds of programs available across the country competing for their favour. This can cause consumer confusion.”

With that in mind, below are five tips to help Canadians uncover which loyalty programs will get them the rewards they want, faster:

1. Maximize rewards earnings by selecting a loyalty program based on personal shopping habits, location and desired rewards. For example, a points card for gas is much more worthwhile for suburban car owners who drive daily than urbanites who rent cars occasionally. Picking a program that matches earning opportunities with existing spending habits will help to earn points faster.

2. Focus on one or two loyalty programs; concentrating on fewer programs will help individuals get to rewards goals much faster than earning points or miles among multiple programs. Programs that allow consumers to earn at a variety of retailers, also known as coalition programs, may also speed accumulation of points or miles.

3. If used conscientiously, a credit card tied to a consumer’s chosen loyalty program can contribute significantly towards getting to a reward. This approach enables miles or points to be earned with both the loyalty card and the credit card on the same purchase.

A

loyalty program is only as good as the rewards it offers. Even so, many Canadians are missing the boat when it comes to choosing the TheRentersGuide.ca program that’s best for them.

There are so many loyalty programs available plus so few tools to help people discover the TheRentersGuide.ca one that best suits their lifestyle.

4. Always carry your cards with you for use at the check-out.

Remember – if you don’t carry them, you won’t benefit from the program.

5. Find out which loyalty program will reward you faster via a new, free online tool at www.compareloyaltyprograms.ca. Answer a few quick questions about your location and shopping preferences to determine which program(s) are the best fit. NC Source: Commissioned by COLLOQUY, a LoyaltyOne research group, Environics Research Group developed an algorithmTheRentersGuide.ca that allows consumers to determine which rewards programs get them to the rewards they want as quickly as possible, based on their individual shopping patterns, program features and attributes.
