editors’ notes
y
ou’ve decided it’s time to rent a new place. Now you have another decision to make – choosing your property management company. How can you check the reputation of the company or landlord you’re considering renting from? First, find out how long the company has been in business by asking the staff or visiting the company’s website to see what information they offer online. Most property management companies have well-established business practices in place to ensure that the customer comes first. If possible, drive around existing communities managed by the company you’re considering and speak to some of the renters in the building. Many property management companies will be able to put you in touch with people who would be happy to provide a testimonial. Get a feel for each company and the staff. You should be comfortable and courteous asking questions and in turn you should expect to be treated with consideration and respect. Think twice about any property management company that doesn’t willingly provide any information you respectfully request. Putting the customer first and offering the best quality rental space for your money is a property management company’s ultimate goal. Once you find the perfect space, don’t hesitate in going for it and making it your own! Let us know how your search for a new home goes. We’d love to hear from you!

ecently, Brookfield Office Properties and Oxford Properties made big news – in New York City. These two Canadian developers – also prominent in Canada’s rental industry – are developing landmark communities in New York City. Oxford is building Hudson Yards. The project includes 14 towers, covering over 26 hectares. Blocks away, Brookfield is developing five acres, creating three 60-storey towers. In addition to new retail, commercial and public space, these communities bring close to 6,000 new rental units to a city where renting is the most common lifestyle choice. According to the New York City Department of City Planning, NYC has the densest population of any city in America, “over 27,000 people per square mile.” Of those residents, about two thirds are renters, “over twice the national average.” So why are Canadian industry mavens like Brookfield and Oxford going into NYC to develop the under utilized properties? Have they learned how to do it better when developing our Canadian urban centres? Do our developers have different vision? For Canadian names to take centre stage in NYC development seems to make a strong, proud statement about Canada’s rental industry. As ingenuity kicks in and developers find new pieces of property to develop in NYC, I hopes we’ll see more here! With near all-time-low vacancy rates across Canada, new rental buildings would be a dream come true for many. And with Canadian developers taking international centre stage we know we’ve got the homegrown talent to get it done. 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!

Communication
Is Key In Good Landlord / Tenant Relationships
By ted whitehead Being an educated consumer is wise these days, and when shopping for a rental apartment, there are many things to look for that indicate your choice is a good one. Your most powerful tool is communication – before, during and after you make your decision and move in. You can tell a lot about an apartment building from your first visit to inquire about vacancies. Are you greeted by friendly, polite, cordial office staff? When you ask questions – and you should ask many – do you receive satisfactory answers? Is the rental office clean and organized, and can the staff members produce requested documents quickly? Pleasant interaction with staff is important on a day-to-day basis. How you are treated at the outset reflects how you will be treated once you are a tenant. “Tenants want professional and courteous property management staff, and in turn the latter group is looking for good, responsive tenants,” says Charlesy Brunne, Director of Operations - GTA for Minto Apartment limited “The CRBP ensures that each property manager has effective two-way communication policies and processes in place.” When you move in, your building manager should provide you with information on how to make general inquiries/complaints, and how to make maintenance requests. If they do not provide you with this information readily, then ask them to explain to you what policies they have in place for dealing with these types of general tenant inquires. If they cannot articulate to you clearly what their complaint/maintenance request policies are, then you may want to raise a red flag about whether this is a place where you want to make your apartment home. Apartment buildings in the CRB program must have clearly documented policies and procedures in place for dealing with tenant inquiries (of any nature) and for dealing tenant requests for maintenance. Additionally they must be able to clearly demonstrate that they respond to all inquiries with two business days or less. The CRB program treats effective two-way communication between property managers and their tenants as integral part of its program. For example, if you make a verbal inquiry for a repair, you should be able to expect owners and property managers to respond within two business days. If the repair involves the landlord or property manager entering the apartment, there must be written notice given at least 24 hours before the time of entry, which should be TheRentersGuide.ca scheduled between 8am and 8pm, unless there is an emergency or if the tenant gives the landlord permission to enter ahead of time. If you receive no response, according to the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act, you should put your request in writing, date it and keep a copy. Then, if you have had no response in a reasonable time, call a municipal building inspector to look into repairs. TheRentersGuide.ca Keep a copy of the inspector’s report for your files.
If the repair still isn’t completed, you can contact the Investigation and Enforcement Unit. If this step does not resolve the problem, contact your lawyer, municipal Councillor or Community Legal Clinic. It is possible that you can apply for a rent reduction on the basis of the repair not being done, therefore representing a reduction of services in your apartment. The best results happen when staff members respond to your inquiry or request promptly and efficiently. This is the kind of professionalism required of the managers and/or landlords of buildings that complete the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) successfully. CRBP was created by the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) to help ensure a high quality of life for tenants in certified buildings. It all comes down to respect for each other. Landlords have to respect tenants’ privacy, and tenants have to respect the tremendous responsibility that landlords have to keep the building safe and well maintained. The CRBP covers this topic thoroughly. You can find the Residential Tenancies Act at www.ontariotenants.ca/law/act. phtml and at www.frpo.org and www. crbprogram.org Ted Whitehead is Director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program at the Federation of TheRentersGuide.ca Rental-housing Providers of Ontario – FRPO

Packing up for a move:
BREAKING DOWN THE PROCESS by Dan Hopkins
M
oving homes or offices can feel like an overwhelming task, with packing up all your belongings being the first major challenge. With a few deep breaths and these packing tips, though, you can conquer the move without losing your mind.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 42G
moving
• Before Packing: You want to reserve your movers or moving company at least eight weeks prior to your move during busy periods to guarantee availability on moving day. Once you have your movers selected, you can start to sort, clean and organize your belongings in anticipation of their arrival. Some moving companies will even pack for you, simplifying and streamlining the moving process.
• Start Packing: Once you have determined your moving date, start packing. Box up belongings that you don’t use often and store them somewhere out of the way. Attics, basements and TheRentersGuide.ca storage areas are good places to start because they are not high-
TheRentersGuide.ca
traffic areas in the apartment. If you have kitchen supplies or dishware like fine china or blenders that go unused on a daily basis, carefully pack them away a few weeks before the move. Make sure to use packing paper or bubble wrap to protect fragile belongings. Newsprint from newspapers can be messy to clean. Keep a record of what goes into which box so you can find what you need instantly when it comes time to unpack.
• Keep Packing: If you stand back and look at everything you need to pack you’ll be overwhelmed, just start. If you start early enough, you can break up the packing process into a more gradual and less
stressful experience. Save the items that you use daily to pack last and make sure to label each box. Avoid packing items from different rooms in the same box to prevent confusion when unpacking.
More than just a moving company, we are customer service specialists equipped with the skill and experience to help you move. Visit www.twomen.ca

Are You Trying to be Kinder to the Earth? Rent an apartment and you will be! By Sheryl Erenberg
I
t’s true. Apartment renters use 65 per cent less energy per household than people who live in houses! Renters have shorter commutes, take transit more and walk to their destination more, according to a report by the Federation of Rental Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) called “Apartment Living is Green”.
People who live in apartments: • Use 40 per cent less water per person • Produce 60 per cent less waste • Have 10km shorter commutes “The typical apartment is surrounded on either side by another apartment and one above and below. This configuration makes it less expensive to heat and cool ... compared to a detached house. Even townhomes and duplexes use less energy than a house,” according to the report. Not only do apartment residents generate less waste, but collecting the garbage from apartment buildings requires less trucks because hundreds are at one stop as opposed to driving to hundreds of houses spread over a wider region. This cuts down on traffic congestion and lowers gas emissions. Only 50 per cent of apartment residents drive to work as opposed to 74 per cent of homeowners. Most apartment underground parking levels in the city have lots of empty spaces. Not owning TheRentersGuide.ca a car in Toronto has never been easier with Autoshare, Zipcar and Car2Go available at so many apartment buildings. New apartment buildings in the GTA feature TheRentersGuide.ca recycling “carousels” that allow residents to rotate
66G
the chute according to what material is being discarded. Glass, cans, paper and other recyclables all fall into different bins at the base. Older buildings now designate different days for recycling and regular garbage, more and more community garden plots are popping up in apartment buildings that have the space. Some apartments are experimenting with outdoor composters to divert even more from landfill. Apartment renters have considerably lower carbon footprints and a higher quality of life, according to FRPO’s report. Because they walk to work, and they live closer to their place of business, renters spend less time commuting and have more time for leisure. Renters also add to their leisure time by choosing a lifestyle that does not include shovelling snow, raking leaves, cleaning eaves or any other house maintenance. It’s all done for you! So relax! Your environmental conscious can be clear if you’re renting. You are much Greener than those who live in a house.

Benjamin Moore Unveils
‘Breath Of Fresh Air’ (806) As Its 2014 Colour Of The Year Benjamin Moore Creative Director Sets Industry Trend By Curating Colour Trend 2014 Palette With Harmonious Colours That Are True To Homeowners’ Lives
The Benjamin Moore 2014 Colour of the Year is Breath of Fresh Air. This gorgeous, ethereal blue serves as a new neutral that is both livable and functional
Benjamin Moore, one of North America’s most respected paint and coatings manufacturers, unveiled today its highly anticipated Colour of the Year for 2014 to be Breath of Fresh Air (colour number 806) as part of its Colour Trends 2014 palette. Breath of Fresh Air is a gorgeous, ethereal blue serving as a “new neutral” that is livable and functional. “We chose Breath of Fresh Air because we were seeing it across several different environments— it’s our new neutral,” said Ellen O’Neill, Benjamin Moore Creative Director.“Our Colour of the Year and Colour Trends 2014 palette is a direct result of the fresh colour cues and pastel trends we’ve seen throughout the home furnishing, fashion and even pop culture landscape.” For the 2014 Colour Trends collection, Benjamin Moore decided to break away from the pack with a collection that is not only rich and enduring, but livable for today’s homeowner or designer as each hue resonates with many different styles. As colour rarely exists in isolation, Benjamin Moore designed a palette of 23 colours that not only stand on their own, but also work well in harmony allowing the transitions of spaces and colours to flow seamlessly. Now Canadian consumers can find the Breath of Fresh Air chip in the 2014 Trend Card, available at local Benjamin Moore dealers across Canada. “We know that colour is the ultimate form of personal expression,” said Sharon Grech, Benjamin Moore Colour Expert.“We curated this collection to help consumers create beautiful spaces with confidence.” The Benjamin Moore Colour Trends for 2014 palette includes 23 carefully selected Benjamin Moore paint hues that harmonize with one another to create that perfect envelope for any interior design style: Breath Of Fresh Air 806 Distant Gray 2124-70

Chicken Pot Pie w it h puff past ry
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. I n a large heavy-bottom pot, melt 5 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add potatoes and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and carrots are fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. eanwhile, trim the bottoms off the M pearl onions and blanch in a small pot of boiling water, about three to four minutes. Rinse with cold water, remove outer skin, and set aside. dd mushrooms, celery and garlic to the A potato mixture, and cook until the mushrooms are heated through. Add Madeira and cook two minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring to thicken, about two to three minutes. Pour in chicken stock, milk and pearl onions. Bring to a simmer; cook until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly, two to three minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, parsley, thyme, herbes de provence and cayenne. Season generously with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer filling to your deep-dish pie plate or individual ramekins. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
a
great way to use up leftover roast chicken is to make a delicious and comforting chicken pot pie. Taking advantage of store bought puff pastry makes the process even easier. The filling can be prepared in advance with any vegetables you have on hand, but I like to use diced potatoes, carrots and celery with a handful of green peas and blanched pearl onions which are sautéed in butter until tender. The final flourish is fitting a round of puff pastry dough on top of each serving dish and with the excess pastry, decorating the tops with cut out shapes, and finally brushing the tops with an egg wash. A hearty fall dish, the result is fabulous!
ingredients Serves 6-8 › 1 sheet frozen puff pastry , thawed › 5 tbsp all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting › 5 tbsp unsalted butter › 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
TheRentersGuide.ca
› 2 celery stalks, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces › 15 pearl onions › 12 oz cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed › 4 garlic cloves, minced › 1 cup Madeira or Cognac › 2 cups chicken stock ›TheRentersGuide.ca 1 cup whole milk or cream
82G
n a lightly floured surface, roll out the O puff pastry about two inches larger than the top of the baking dish. Place over the dish and trim leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, reserving excess pastry. Press overhang into and over edge. With a fork, whisk egg and milk; brush over pastry. Use excess pastry to cut out shapes and place on top. Brush egg mixture over pastry. Cut five or six steam vents into the top of the pastry using a small sharp knife. ransfer casserole to a parchment-lined T baking sheet, and bake 30 to 40 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Serve hot.
› 5 cups cooked chicken, torn into bite-sized pieces › 1 cup frozen green peas › 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley › 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves › 2 tbsp Herbes de Provence › 1/4 tsp cayenne › 3 tsp coarse salt › 1 tsp freshly ground pepper egg wash 1 large egg 2 tbsp milk

Eight Common
Life Insurance Mistakes
D
TheRentersGuide.ca
B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade
on’t we just hate thinking about life insurance. It means considering our own demise. So instead, ostrich like, many of us just say, “That’ll TheRentersGuide.ca never happen to me.”
TheRentersGuide.ca 84G

finances
Sadly, aside from leaving our family totally unprepared for our demise, and unprotected financially, there’s another consequence to hating the very idea of life insurance. It means we’re just as likely to do it badly as to do it well. Here are eight common mistakes we make either when we’re buying our insurance, or in keeping it working well for us. 1. We let the premiums make the decision for us. If you start from the premise that you can only afford to pay ‘X’ amount of dollars, and let that decide how much insurance you buy, then you’re going about it all wrong.You must first figure out how much insurance you need and then choose the type of insurance that will give you the level of coverage you’re looking for. 2. We think of insurance as an investment. Well, it’s not. It’s risk mitigation. It’s just in case. It’s a necessary part of a sound financial plan. While certain types of insurance do build up money over time – products like whole or universal life insurance – that’s not the first reason for buying insurance. Insurance is about taking care of the “what ifs.” So the amount it will pay out to help your family cope should be your primary consideration, not the potential return on investment. 3. We buy term because it’s the only game in town. The “term vs. permanent insurance” debate rages on. Term insurance, for which you pay only for the death benefit, may be the best fit for many people. However, other types of policies, such as universal life or secondto-die policies, may be a better choice in certain situations. Choose the insurance that’s right for you. Don’t pick something just because you’ve heard it’s what everyone should buy. 4. We confuse illustrations with reality. Life insurance illustrations are designed to show how much cash value a policy will build over time. And a lot TheRentersGuide.ca of insurance representatives got their wrists slapped because many of those illustrations implied consumers could
TheRentersGuide.ca
count on their policies to be self-funding within a specific – often too short – period of time. But if you haven’t yet heard the news, illustrations are only projections of what may happen. They are not guarantees. The company’s rates of return may decline and earnings may not be sufficient to cover the premiums in the future. So don’t count your chickens. 5. We don’t check back to make sure we’re still well insured. At least every year or two, re-examine your policies to be sure they are still doing the job. If you got married, divorced, had a baby, or had a big jump in income, the amount of coverage may no longer be adequate. Or you might need to add a second, different type of policy, to meet new needs. You don’t have to buy from the same insurance company. Shop around. 6. We forget to change beneficiaries. Oyyy! I hear this one all the time. People, if you get a divorce, remarry, have a new baby, or if your partner dies, you need to review your insurance to make sure you’re not leaving a stash of cash to nobody – or worse, someone you hate! Imagine seeing the death benefits from a policy on your recently deceased
spouse go to that person’s former spouse instead of you. Heads up. This is a far more common mistake than it should be when you consider the consequences. 7. We needlessly replace a policy. Sometimes it is appropriate to drop one type of life insurance policy and replace it with another, especially if your life circumstances have changed. But be careful about dropping a policy just to get a “better-performing”policy or for a cheaper premium. The flip side of this is people who automatically renew their term coverage, even when the reason for having insurance has grown up and left home. 8. We name our estate as beneficiary of our insurance. Insurance benefits are free of income tax to beneficiaries, but they face probate if the benefits become part of the insured’s estate. So make sure you’ve named a person (or people) as beneficiary – and not your estate – on your policies.

Rise and shine
to new home décoR ideas
T
here’s nothing better than waking in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. But if the first thing you see is a bedroom that needs some improvement, your day might not go as planned. If you’re suffering from the bedroom blues, why not reinvent the space? Especially since you don’t have to buy new to get a whole new look.
Bring a touch of nature to the room by transforming a boring headboard TheRentersGuide.ca into a grand focal point. Simply spray paint it with Krylon Natural Stone Textured Finish, which goes on easy and gives you the natural beauty of stone. Available in eight designer colours, Krylon Natural Stone features a smaller particle size for an elegant and professional-looking appearance. To complete the look, add a new comforter and accent pillows to your bed to TheRentersGuide.ca complement your new creation.
Don’t stop there. Give outdated dressers or vanities a facelift with a fresh coat of paint. You can match the furniture to your new headboard, or paint each with a complementary colour for extra visual intrigue. For the finishing touch, add new decorative knobs – or simply paint your current ones – to create an additional dramatic impact. Next, look at the accessories around the room that might need a bit of improvement or an extra spark. Lamps, frames and vases can be easily updated from bland to beautiful with a quick spray of paint to coordinate with the rest of your room’s new colour scheme. Finally, add a bit of cheer by filling your newly painted vase full of fresh cut flowers on the nightstand. For an ultra-relaxing vibe, add lavender to the mix, as the scent soothes and comforts while you drift off into dreamland. From the moment you wake in the morning to the moment you close your eyes at night, your bedroom should be your haven. By rising to the occasion and incorporating some small spray paint updates, you can kick back and enjoy morning, noon and night.

Versatile Furniture
I
by Jane Herman
n her wonderfully useful decorating handbook, 500 Ideas for Small Spaces, Canadian design consultant Kimberly Seldon says that utilizing furniture that has more than one purpose increases the functionality of small rooms. Watching my newly married daughter and son in law furnish their first apartment, I was reminded of the necessity of finding multipurpose furniture, given the range of functions, limited space and budgetary constraints with which all renters must contend.

Who really manages household debt?
Men and women have different opinions, suggests Manulife Bank survey
ma in a bet like the jus abo The be con res 57 ach Atl con De wil tec Mo Ca ver deb 56
re
According to Manulife Bank of Canada’s recent debt survey, just over half of women (54 per cent) but only 39 per cent of men in two-adult households indicate that responsibility is equally shared when it comes to managing household debt. In cases where respondents don’t feel responsibility is equally shared, both men and women are far more likely to indicate that the responsibility lies with them rather than with their partner. Slightly over half (56 per cent) of men and a third of women (36 per cent) state that household debt is managed by“mostly me” or “only me.”Conversely, only 10 TheRentersGuide.ca per cent of women and four per cent of men indicate that household debt is managed by “mostly my partner”or “only my partner.” Interestingly, virtually no men indicate debt is managed by“only TheRentersGuide.ca my partner.”
Differing perceptions about who is responsible for debt-management within the relationship could reflect a lack of communication, making it difficult for homeowners to become debt-free. “The good news is that, in general, most people feel they have some responsibility for managing household debt,”shared Doug Conick, President and CEO of Manulife Bank of Canada.“However, the results seem to indicate that many couples might not be discussing debt with one another. I strongly recommend that any Canadians who don’t have a plan for becoming debt-free reach out to an independent financial advisor for personalized debt management advice.” The survey also looked at attitudes by age group and found that respondents in their fifties are more likely to report shared responsibility for debt management (52 per cent) while those in their thirties are less likely to do so (43 per cent). Regionally, Quebec (53 per cent) and Alberta (52 per cent) homeowners were most likely to indicate shared responsibility for managing debt
while Ontario (42 per cent) homeowners were least likely to do so. Women are more concerned about debt, less optimistic In general, women appear to be more concerned about debt, but at the same time they are less confident about being able to reduce or eliminate it. Slightly more women (81 per cent) than men (75 per cent) listed “being or becoming debtfree”as a top financial priority. Men and women place relatively equal importance on being debt-free at retirement - with about eight in 10 indicating this is a high priority. However, more men (55 per cent) than women (49 per cent) are confident that they’ll achieve that goal. This perception may be influenced by recent experience, with fewer women (47 per cent) than men (54 per cent) indicating a reduction in debt over the past 12 months. Moreover, women appear to be more averse to the idea of retiring with debt TheRentersGuide.ca outstanding - 60 per cent indicate they would find this scenario very stressful compared to just 42 per cent of men.“In

many households there’s a discrepancy in attitudes, perceptions and expectations between couples with regards to debt, likely because they are either managing their own personal debt separately or just aren’t talking enough to one another about finances,” added Mr. Conick. The survey found that the desire to be debt-free at retirement is relatively consistent across Canada. However, respondents in BC and Quebec (each at 57 per cent) are most confident about achieving that goal while residents of Atlantic Canada (44 per cent) are least confident. Debt-reduction is a priority and most are willing to reduce spending - just not on technology More than three quarters (77 per cent) of Canadian homeowners indicate that it’s very important for them to reduce their debt in the next 12 months, but only 56 per cent feel they’re likely to achieve
appliances (42 per cent) and dining out (41 per cent). “Finding and reducing non-essential expenses is a good first step in tackling debt.”said Mr. Conick. “Another great strategy is to make your money work harder by organizing your finances more efficiently.” The survey found that nearly a third (31 per cent) of homeowners list the interest rate on their debt as a factor making it difficult for them to become debt-free. “Given our current low interest-rate environment, an easy way for many homeowners to reduce interest costs might be to simply consolidate their debt at a lower rate.” While respondents in all regions indicate they are least willing to cut back on phone/internet/cable, they differ somewhat on which discretionary expenses they are most willing to reduce spending. Atlantic Canadians (50 per cent) and Ontarians (44 per cent) are
Men and women have different perceptions on who manages household debt A lack of communication could make it difficult for households to become debt-free Women more concerned about debt and less confident about reducing it Despite a desire to reduce debt, remaining “wired in” important to Canadians this goal. This relative lack of confidence may reflect experience over the past year. Nearly a quarter of respondents (24 per cent) report an increase in debt over the past 12 months and a further 15 per cent report no change in their debt over that time frame. Regionally, homeowners from BC (56 per cent) and Atlantic Canada (54 per cent) are the most likely to report a reduction in debt over the past 12 months. Homeowners in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are the most likely to report an increase in debt over the past year (30 per cent). When asked what types of discretionary spending they would be willing to cut back on if it would help them become debt-free sooner, only 12 per cent of homeowners would be willing to cut back on phone/internet/cable services - reflecting the increasingly“wired in” nature of our society. At the other end of the spectrum, the discretionary spending TheRentersGuide.ca categories people are most willing to cut back are household furnishings/
most willing to cut back on dining out. In Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, 48 per cent indicated they’d be willing to cut back on household furnishings/ appliances. Women and men differ somewhat in this area as well. Women are more apt to reduce spending on household furnishings (45 per cent), dining out (44 per cent) and entertainment (39 per cent) than men (40 per cent, 37 per cent and 32 per cent respectively). The overall results of this survey seems to be that the goal is to ”want to be debt-free, but that they’re not necessarily talking with one another about how to get there,”remarked Mr. Conick. “To avoid carrying debt into their preretirement and retirement years, it’s important to get a debt-management plan in place.” About the Manulife Bank of Canada Debt Survey
2,127 Canadian homeowners in all provinces between ages 30 to 59 with household income of more than $50,000. The survey was conducted online by Research House, an Environics company, between August 13-23, 2012.

You opened a Registered Education Savings Plan... now what?
A
sk any parent of grown children how quickly the years go by and they will likely reply that time flies. That said, new parents saving for their child’s post-secondary education should start putting aside money as soon as their baby is born.
One of the best ways to save is through a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). When combined with compounded returns and government grants, an RESP can yield significant returns by the time a child turns 17. An RESP can comprise a combination of savings and investments including cash, stocks, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) and bonds. All that’s needed to get started is the child’s Social Insurance Number. A good savings strategy for financial goals is to include investments that have TheRentersGuide.ca a designated target maturity date. For example, BMO LifeStage Class Mutual Funds allow investors to choose different time horizons when investing. The funds annually shift their asset mix from an emphasis on equity funds to an emphasis on fixed income and cash equivalent funds as they approach their
end dates. Invested in an RESP, they provide growth in the early stages and become progressively more conservative as the child nears university. If your child is 13 years old now, choosing a fund with a 2017 target date maximizes savings as she heads off to university that year. If your baby is still in diapers, a target date of 2030 could work best. “Investment options such as BMO LifeStage Class Mutual Funds allow parents to watch their child’s RESP investments evolve strategically, so they can reach their financial goal,” said Robert Armstrong, Vice President, Managed Solutions and Registered Plans Strategy, BMO Investments Inc. Speak to an investment professional to determine the target date that’s right for you. For more on RESPs, please TheRentersGuide.ca visit: www.bmo.com/resp NC

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

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

Packing Tips and List 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.

Dinner club tips
Mussel up your Menu Dinner clubs have been a popular activity for decades. And why not? Combining the best of fabulous food and good friends with whom to share it, dinner clubs (or supper clubs as they are sometimes known) provide a regular opportunity for group members to get together and enjoy delicious meals together.
“These mussels really offer something for dinner club hosts from all skill levels,” says Chef Lindsay Cameron Wilson, the official chef of the Mussel Industry Council’s website DiscoverMussels.com. “Whether you’re a novice wanting to do a dish that seems a bit exotic but remains easy to prepare, or a pro in the kitchen wanting to explore new flavor territory, there’s a mussel recipe for you.” For the uninitiated, shellfish dishes sometimes seem daunting, but are often easier to prepare than first thought. For a simple yet impressive recipe, Chef Lindsay recommends Mussels with Greens and Blue Cheese. For a more complex recipe that is very rewarding, she suggests dinner club enthusiasts try Mediterranean Mussel Salad. “As these recipes show, one of the great things about PEI mussels is their versatility,” says Linda Duncan, executive director of the Mussel Industry Council. “The meat is plump, sweet and tender and lends itself to a variety of dishes from around the world. There’s a rich flavor profile associated with mussels, and as a bonus it pairs wonderfully with many different wines - another fun element of many dinner clubs.” Many dinner clubs are themed and offer meals from a different part of the world each month. The wonderful flavors of fresh mussels are as at home in classic European dishes like mussels Provencal as they are in sweet Thai dishes, exotic Asian dishes or spicy dishes like mussel laksa from India.

The break-up:
regaining financial stability after divorce is a priority TD Canada Trust offers advice to the newly single for laying the groundwork to long-term financial success If there is one constant in the entertainment gossip pages, it is celebrity divorces. While celebrity couples may appear to take this in stride, they are not immune to the financial blow felt by most couples going through a divorce. Recent research from TD Canada Trust suggests many Canadians may not be financially prepared for a break-up, but there are steps women and men can take to regain their financial footing as soon as possible after divorce. According to research conducted for TD Canada Trust, the majority of Canadians in serious relationships have shared assets. Of those Canadians currently in, or recently in, a relationship, 72 per cent own a home together, 68 per cent have a joint bank account, 64 per cent have a joint financial plan and 52 per cent have a joint credit card. And, divorce TheRentersGuide.ca proceedings are taking longer, with 21 per cent lasting more than two years, an increase of six per cent in the past five years. “Most Canadian couples are financially interdependent, and it is a real challenge trying to navigate the financial aftermath at the end of a TheRentersGuide.ca relationship. Many people just aren’t prepared for the costs associated
with divorce and how their lifestyles may change afterwards,” says John Tracy, senior vice president, TD Canada Trust. “It’s important for newly single Canadians to stabilize their financial situation after a break-up so that they don’t start taking on debt, and there are simple steps people can take to re-establish their financial independence at any stage in life.” John Tracy offers advice to newly single Canadians on how to regain financial stability: Get started: The first step in establishing your financial plan is to understand your current position. You and your partner may have joint assets and liabilities. You’ll need to work out the division of the assets and find out what liabilities you’ll be responsible for. Work with an expert to understand the implications of dividing your assets and get an accurate and thorough understanding of your financial position. TheRentersGuide.ca

related decisions, it’s time to take the reins on money management. Even if you’ve always been in charge of finances in your household, it’s important to reevaluate your goals and financial situation, and adjust your investments accordingly. Now is the time to reconsider your priorities and goals and what your retirement looks like. A financial advisor can help you navigate your way through these questions and help you create a financial plan. A plan is essential to organizing your financial resources so you can achieve your shortand long-term goals. Even if you and your former spouse shared a common financial advisor prior to the separation or divorce, your financial advisor should respect your privacy as you work together on your future financial plans. Focus on building wealth: Becoming financially independent means it is solely your responsibility to accumulate wealth for the future. Moving from a saving to an investing mindset is an effective strategy to help build your wealth over time - and it doesn’t need to be daunting. Look for investment options that offer a low minimum investment. Everyone has a different risk profile, though, so make sure you have the right mix for you. And, speak to your bank about setting up a pre-authorized transfer that automatically transfers a set amount at regular intervals throughout the year into your RSP. In addition to saving without having to think about it, regular contributions also let you benefit from dollar-cost averaging, which can help build your wealth faster. Start today and continue to track your progress: Once you have your plan in place, it’s time to move forward with your finances. Create a budget, stick to it and track your progress - being disciplined with your budget today will pay off in the future. It’s important to review your financial plan regularly to ensure it continues to evolve as your needs and lifestyle change. It’s not unusual to have an event that causes a detour in your plan, but a good advisor will be there to help you make sound choices to ensure your goals remain on track. And if you’re not sure how to balance competing savings, investing and debt priorities, try out the available online budgeting tools or visit your local branch and talk to an advisor. TD Bank Group commissioned Environics Research Group to conduct a telephone omnibus survey of 2,000 Canadians 18 years of age or older, with 1,379 who are currently or were recently in a serious relationship. Results were collected between January 5 - 15, 2012. TD Canada Trust offers personal and business banking to more than 11.5 million customers.

Canadian snowbirds are taking flight,
but is their insurance up in the air?
I
t’s getting cool out and Canada’s snowbirds are starting to head south, but are they properly protected while away from home? According to a recent TD Insurance survey only half of Canadians aged 50 and over checked their travel insurance policy before leaving for vacation, and only 16 per cent called their insurance provider to determine if they needed to update their policy. “Snowbirds have a unique set of insurance needs, different from most Canadian travellers,” says Dave Minor a vice president at TD Insurance.“Not only do they need to understand exactly what their travel insurance policy covers, but they may have to review auto, recreational vehicle, and home insurance policies – for both their property down south and back home – before they travel.” Here are some tips on travel, auto and home insurance for Canadian snowbirds heading south for the winter: Travel insurance: “Snowbirds should review the details of their travel medical insurance policy including whether or not there is a time limit for out of country coverage and what they need to know about pre-existing conditions and limitations,” says Minor.“If a snowbird has visited a hospital or switched medications in the past 12 months, this information needs to be disclosed to their insurance provider, as a failure to do so may impact insurance coverage should they need to make a claim. Anyone who is unsure about a detail within their policy should just ask.”
liability limit given that claims in the United States can be expensive, and discuss that with either their provider or insurance agent..” For snowbirds travelling down south by motorhome or RV, keep in mind that although insurance protection on recreational vehicles is similar to regular auto insurance, because this vehicle also serves as a home, it requires a unique policy. “If RV owners are increasing the amount of time they are living in their vehicle – for example living in the unit full time versus an occasional weekend getaway – then their policy may need to be revised,” says Minor.“Check with your insurance provider to find out what your needs are so you’re not left uncovered.” Home insurance: Only 12 per cent of Canadian snowbirds say they checked their home insurance policy to ensure their primary residence would be covered while on vacation. Making sure you take the necessary steps to protect your home before you travel will make the process easier, should you need to make a claim. “Often insurance policies have specific ‘away’ requirements, which, if not fulfilled, could void coverage if your home is left unoccupied and unattended for an extended period of time,” says Minor.“Contact your insurance provider to make sure you know what steps to take to keep your current policy valid.” More information and tips about your insurance needs are available at www.tdinsurance.com About the TD Insurance State of Insurance Report: TD Insurance commissioned Environics Research Group to conduct an online custom survey of 2,748 Canadians aged 18 and older, including 1,362 Canadians 50 years of age or older (referred to as snowbirds). Responses were collected from February 7 to 18, 2013. About TD Insurance: TD Insurance offers a wide range of products to help
Auto insurance: According to the TD Insurance survey, 46 per cent of Canadian snowbirds incorrectly believe that ifTheRentersGuide.ca they are driving outside of Canada, their auto insurance policy will cover them, but this isn’t always the case.
protect clients from the ‘accidents of life’ including credit protection, auto,
“Snowbirds need to call their insurance provider if they are taking their vehicle outside of Canada or the United States or if they plan to rent a vehicle for more than 30 days,” TheRentersGuide.ca says Minor.“They should also consider increasing their

Reigniting your financial goals
F
or over a decade, Desjardins Financial Security surveys have shown that money is a key stressor for most Canadians. They know it’s a problem but they’re reluctant or unable to break their bad financial habits. Top financial planning experts have called this phenomenon the ostrich syndrome. “The fact is financial ignorance is not bliss,” said Gregory Brown, associate manager with the Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network in Surrey, British Columbia. Why do you think people avoid financial planning? Many Canadians believe that our social safety nets, namely the Canada Pension Plan and provincial medical coverage, will be able to support them during retirement. But these safety nets will become depleted as the number of retirees continues to increase over the next 20 years. We all hear this warning and we’re told that it’s our responsibility to save for retirement. The problem is that most people are unable to picture what retirement looks like. If you can’t picture it, how can you prepare for it? So, you just don’t and avoid it all together.
How do you overcome the fear? First of all, take ownership for your past financial behaviours and your future financial goals. Be honest with yourself and know that anything is possible with a plan. Next, write down TheRentersGuide.ca your short- and long-term personal and financial priorities. Your financial goals will support your personal goals, so the two should be aligned. One of the main reasons why we are so stressed out by money is because our personal and financial goals are un-balanced.

Once we have our plan, what’s next? Now you have to have the talk. It’s important to make time for regular financial discussions with your partner and some key family members. It’s also a good idea to work with a financial advisor who can facilitate the conversation and provide professional and unbiased objectivity. They’ll also have access to other professionals who can step in with solutions, like tax and estate planning. Next, set up regular financial meetings— say once a month or once a quarter—to review your financial priorities and goals to ensure that you remain focussed.
What would you say to someone who is convinced that it’s too late to fix their financial situation? Honestly, it’s never too late to make financial adjustments even if they appear out of control. You can dream big and make it happen. It just means that you have to get organized, ask for help and start making informed choices. You’ll find that the sooner you can get your finances in order, the sooner you’ll be able to achieve your dreams.

Tips for a safe
Trick-or-TreaTing experience
“Hundreds of our employees and volunteers will be patrolling local neighbourhoods in red cable vans to offer any assistance needed to ghosts, ghouls, goblins and their parents,” says company Director of Public Affairs, Patricia Trott.“The Rogers Pumpkin Patrol team will once again be in communities to provide a safe night for trick-ortreaters and offer peace of mind for parents – and it’s thanks to the dedication of our employees that we are able to provide this service.” To help you prepare for a safe trick-or-treating experience, the Rogers Pumpkin Patrol offers the following tips and tricks: • Ensure costumes are safe. Make sure your child’s Halloween costume is made of flameresistant materials and is well fitted. Costumes that drag on the ground can pose a tripping hazard, which can be a serious danger – especially if kids fall while crossing the street. Masks, hats and other accessories should also fit your child properly without inhibiting their vision. Halloween makeup is a safer option. • Make sure your children can be seen. Visibility is a very important safety consideration. Flashlights with fresh batteries, glow sticks and reflective tape are must-haves on Halloween and will enable drivers to see kids as they go from door-to-door.
a
s much fun as Halloween is with all the pumpkins, haunted houses, candy and costumes, it’s important to remember it’s also a night when extra safety precautions should be taken. From picking aTheRentersGuide.ca well-fitted costume, to educating children on candy safety, parents should provide a watchful eye to keep the fun in trick-ortreating. good corporate citizens, like rogers communications, TheRentersGuide.ca are avidly helping too.
• Always trick-or-treat in groups. Children should always be accompanied by an adult when they go out trick-or-treating. It’s a great way to spend time with family and enjoy everything the holiday has to offer. Teens may want to go with friends. If so, plan a route and make them carry a fully charged smartphone in case they get separated from the group. • Check Halloween candy carefully. Treat kids to a Halloween snack before they head out so that they are less likely to eat the candy they gather before you have a chance to inspect it. Teach children never to eat treats in packages that have been opened, show pinholes or have other damage. And remember, always avoid homemade treats or fruit unless they are from a family member or close friends.
TheRentersGuide.ca
• Know where to look for help. Teach children to find a police officer or a red Rogers van if they are lost or need help while trick-or-treating. NC

Top five
online safety tips While the Internet has opened the door to endless resources and helped us stay connected with friends, family and colleagues, it has also opened a window for cybercriminals to steal identities and infect our computers with viruses. Here are five easy online safety tips to help keep you protected:
1 2
Keep your system clean and updated with the latest operating system, browser and security suite.
Stay alert against cybercrime and avoid clicking unknown links in email, social media sites and instant messages. To protect against malicious links on social networks, use a free tool such as the Norton Safe Web scanner application.
3
Keep passwords safe and strong. Don’t share them and don’t use the same one for every online account. Make them difficult by mixing in numbers, various alphabetical cases and/or symbols. An easy way to remember a password is to think of a sentence and use the first letter of each word.
4
Avoid file sharing programs. They’re littered with malware and cybercriminals ready to steal your information. You never know what surprises might be downloaded.
5 TheRentersGuide.ca
Be vigilant when using public computers or WiFi networks. Avoid doing sensitive transactions like online banking or sharing private information if you’re not sure the system or connection is secure. Safe networks are usually password-protected and you’ll know you’re on a safe site when you see a lock at the bottom right corner of your TheRentersGuide.ca web browser. NC

safety
Remember window cord safety
when little ones visit
W
hen little ones come to visit – whether they are our grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or friends – 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. More tips on keeping your TheRentersGuide.ca child safe from the risks of strangulation by blind cords can be found
