EDITOR’S NOTE

ONCE A RENTER ALWAYS A RENTER I rented my first apartment when I was 22. Six months into my first full-time job, I signed a lease. What an exciting time it was! I loved living on my own.

I have been a renter ever since, and happy as a clam. I guess you could say for me, once a renter, always a renter.

Owning a home is a goal for many people, but for others like myself, renting is a chosen way of life. I’m not big on staying in one place for too long, so I move every five or six years. This brings a new space and floorplan for me to have fun with. I get to explore new neighbourhoods. I don’t have to worry about the larger expenses of homeownership: Property and school taxes, roof and furnace repairs, home maintenance and landscaping ... well, you get the picture.

And so does writer Jane Herman. In her article on page 18, she highlights why renting can be a good home choice when starting out in life.

Check out what she has to say and in the meantime, if there is something you would like us to write about, email us and let us know.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

TIPS

FOR HIRING MOVERS

CHUCK RESNICK

When you hire movers, you’re entrusting your possessions to someone so they can get them from your old apartment to your new one. Do you know what you’ll need? We do. Here are our tips for hiring movers.

1. A GOOD, DETAILED CONTRACT.

A contract ensures and outlines all expectations. This is particularly true when you hire professional movers. You’re obviously the “who,” and your gorgeous new apartment is obviously the “why,” but they also need to know exactly “what,” “where,” and “when” in order to transport your items to your new place. There are usually a lot of details, and finding out about them on moving day is counterproductive. Think ahead.

2. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

The first thing to do is find a reputable mover. Check online with the Better Business Bureau or the Canadian Association of Movers, and of course, ask friends and family members to refer companies they have used.

Select a company that has a triedand-true track record.

When they meet you to arrange your move, they need to know about everything you expect to take so they can prepare as accurate an estimate as possible.

Ask them all of your questions before signing the contract: 6 Renters Guide | Aug. 30–Sept. 13, 2019

Insurance and liability, additional charges, any exemptions.

3. TELL THEM EVERYTHING.

If there’s an extra stop to drop something off, it’s extra time and will add to the cost – plus they need to pack the item so it’s accessible. Let them know of an item that may be difficult to move – or any concerns you have. You don’t want to find out on moving day that there are extra charges or unmovable items.

4. GET AN ESTIMATE.

In many ways, estimating is a science. Computers help, but the results are only as good as the information they input. Telling them on moving day that you forgot you want to take the shed in the backyard can hold things up for hours. It will also add to your costs.

And speaking of costs, the movers need to know well ahead of time if you want them to provide the service of packing.

Deciding this two days before the move likely won’t work. If you’ve been quoted only on moving and not on packing, you’ll need a new contract that reflects the cost of packing. If you do the packing yourself, read the contract as to whether or how much insurance your items are covered for, should damages occur.

It is the mover’s responsibility as professionals to ask the right questions, but until they develop ESP, they need to rely on you to explain what you need from them.

A contract protects you as much as the movers, but only if you read it, understand it and abide by it.

Just starting out?

RENtiNg is youR best choice

JANE HERMAN

If you’re a young single, a fresh-at-work professional, or a recently married couple and you’re wondering what to do about housing, there are many good reasons why you should choose to rent instead of buying your first residence.

18 Renters Guide | Aug. 30–Sept. 13, 2019

At this stage of your life, you may be finishing up your education, paying off student loans, or just beginning your first job(s). It’s not likely that you will have even accumulated enough cash to use as a down payment.

One of the many advantages renting has over home ownership is that there is no large down payment to be paid up front. You only have to come up with your first and last month’s rent.

And despite people who try

to convince you that you can own a condominium or home for the same price as renting, here’s the truth: Renting is always substantially less than owning.

While it is possible that monthly mortgage payments might be comparable to what you’d pay to rent, as an owner, you will also have to pay property taxes, all maintenance expenses (either monthly maintenance payments in a condo, or all costs of repairs and maintenance in a house).

“

With renting, you’ll be able to save a little every month for emergencies, travel, retirement, or have a little more disposable income for furniture, a car, clothing and entertainment, which is also important to you.

”

Many apartments include utilities or hydro in the rent, and when owning, you would also have to pay an additional amount for these services. What about insurance?

Tenants’ insurance is always less expensive than the cost of insuring your own home.

At this stage of your life, flexibility is important because you are very likely to move again within the next three to five years, either to take another job, go back to school, or because your family is growing and your needs are changing. It’s much easier to make a move when your only obligation is a one-year lease.

Some people will also try to convince you that with renting, you’re not building equity. But when you factor in all the hidden costs of buying and selling real

estate, from commissions, to legal fees to land transfer taxes, etc., the reality is that no condo or house is going to appreciate that much in the short term to offset those hidden costs. If you are lucky enough to actually have enough cash accumulated to use as a down payment on a house, keep it in a secure two- or three-year term investment with a good return.

When you run the numbers, you will be much further ahead three years down the road than if you had invested it in a condo.

The other good reason for renting at this stage of your life is that renting can offer all of the benefits of living in a prime neighbourhood – one that you likely couldn’t afford to buy in – such as convenience to transportation, shopping,

recreation facilities, etc., along with condo-quality amenities at a price that won’t leave you cashstrapped. With renting, you’ll be able to save a little every month for emergencies, travel, retirement, or have a little more disposable income for furniture, a car, clothing and entertainment, which is also important to you.

When you consider all the advantages that renting affords, you’ll see that your dream home is really an apartment!

Finances and building the love nest

The reason for this is likely the differences in spending habits and a general lack of communication about things like debt and credit history. How do you know if you’re really credit compatible?

jointly applying for credit, the lower score can dictate the rate and terms you’re offered.

1. Surprises are not always good.

Talking with your significant other about current debts and expenses you both have can eliminate surprises.

3. Discuss debt before marriage.

A person’s credit history can affect everything from getting a mortgage to qualifying for professional licensing and even getting the best rate on car insurance. To avoid unexpected marital stress, couples should fully disclose their credit histories prior to tying the knot.

2. Credit scores don’t marry up. Your credit may be excellent, but you can expect some challenges if you marry someone with bad credit. When

4. Talk about it. Openly discussing finances with your partner is the best way to prevent future disagreements or unwelcome surprises.

5. Prepare to build a love nest.

Be sure that your budgeting tactics and financial goals are aligned before marriage.

TransUnion suggests couples assign responsibilities to each partner to help manage the budget as one person should not completely own the family’s financial system.

Before you moVE, think noIsE kathryn kusyszyn If living in peace and quiet is important to you, consider these nine sources of noise before you sign on the dotted line.

1. ConstruCtion noise. If you are moving into an area that has properties under construction, or scheduled construction, be prepared to experience longterm noise.

2. Buses. Find out where the local public transit routes are and its schedules.

3. neighBours. Seniors tend to be quiet, working professionals tend to be working, resting or out of the house while

students and families with children are more generally active in the home and hence make more noise.

4. CommerCial zoning. If you live in a mixed-use area, there may be businesses that stay open late, like bars with loud music playing.

5. ChurChes and town hall CloCks. Historic and melodic

as these bells are, consider if their clanging is what you want to listen to on a regular basis.

6. sChools. Playground noise may reduce or cease in summer, but some school bells ring all year round.

7. Fire department. You may not want to hear that siren on every call they receive.

8. trains. This includes long

distance, subway and streetcars.

They sure can screech.

9. planes. Is your new home on a flight path to a major airport?

Or a minor one with small planes that have loud engines?

Find out the flight schedule because late-night wakeup calls may become tiresome after awhile.

wonder

Interior decorator Carly Heung shares insight on why the hexagon continues to be a hallmark feature in the design world.

From decorating hundreds of small spaces, I’ve learned to incorporate nature’s clever spacesaving designs through the use of hexagons to create beautiful spaces. Its shape adds angular interest, symmetry and contrast and brings modern inspiration and tranquility to any space. These geoshapes have taken on quite a statement in the last few years but they are truly a trend that is here to stay.

Not only is the hexagon pattern modern and appealing, but this shape holds a very special meaning in life all around us. In nature, inside the beehive, each honeypacked cell is built by tiny bee engineers to take on the shape of a hexagon. They do this for a very clever reason – because of packing efficiency. The hexagon shape allows bees to optimize the space they have. If a series of circles were used instead, there would be empty spaces between them.

Turtles are also another creature that helped inspire the hexagon.

Their magnificent shells, made from one of the strongest compounds in nature, protect them from predators. These shells are fully covered by subunits of hexagons.

As one of the strongest shapes that exist in the world, hexagonal features and details are bound to communicate strength, beauty and unity to your space.

30 Renters Guide | Aug. 30–Sept. 13, 2019

In today’s home, there is no shortage of appealing areas to use hexagonal features, from backsplashes in your kitchen, to wall or floor tiles in your bathroom.

These hexagon shapes can be incorporated into any design feature big or small in your home to maximize both efficiency and appeal!

A plaCE And A spAce

for EVErythIng Hellen Buttigieg

Whether you have a sprawling apartment with plenty of room or a cosy place with little extra space, you need to create a system so your home functions to accommodate your lifestyle needs. Without designated spaces, you’re forever tucking things away that don’t have a real home – and wasting far too much time trying to remember where they are.

often become dumping grounds for clutter. Before you begin decluttering, go through your home, room by room, and determine how you want to use each space.

Identify which items support the purpose of the room and which ones should be moved elsewhere.. a shoE-in for officE supply storagE Use the pockets of a clear vinyl shoe bag to hold just about everything you need for the office, from spare scissors to extra batteries. These usually come with hooks so you can hang them over the door, allowing you to tap into previously unused space.

EvEryonE nEEds a homE officE

Are you using your kitchen or dining room table as an office?

It can be frustrating and timeconsuming to have to pack up your papers and bring them out again. Although it would be ideal to have a room devoted entirely for processing paperwork, you can also use an armoire in the family room that closes up when not in use, or a closet that has been refitted with a countertop and drawers. You’ll also need good lighting, a comfortable chair and a functional filing system.

WhErE did i put thE... Have you ever stored a special item in a safe place and then forgotten where you put it? A simple solution is to create a document on your computer to record the location of seldom-used articles. Use the ‘find’ feature to retrieve the information quickly within the document. namE that room Rooms that

EvErything nEEds a homE

WhErE did i lEavE my kEys? The

Whenever you bring a new item into your home, immediately find a permanent place for it to live.

To help you determine the best spot for it, ask yourself what else is like it, and where (and how often) you will use it. Store similar things together and store items near their place of use. Items used daily should be placed in the most accessible areas, whereas seldom-used items can be stored in out-of-the way spaces. Label drawers, shelves and containers to remember where things are.

most common excuse for lateness?

“I couldn’t find my keys.” It’s hard to be successful if you can’t even leave your home. Save yourself the frustration and embarrassment by simply making an extra set of keys and keeping them in a special place. Give another set to a relative or neighbour in case of emergency.

Create a home for your keys and always place them there when you arrive. You can use a bowl, a small basket or a hook. Or, attach a beeper to your keys that you can activate when they go missing.

What did i do With that manual? Did you add new

appliances and electronics to your collection recently? Staple the receipt and warranty to the instruction manual and tape it to the bottom of the item so it’s easy to find. For portable items like cell phones and MP3 players, store the manuals in an accordion file by category.

adVIce | rental rantIngs

Five signs you’re a renter JenniFer Braun Here are five signs you’re a renter.

1. You’re a handYman (sort of) Just like home ownership,

your rental will present minor annoyances like a squeaky oven door. But as an experienced renter, you’re able to decode any cricks and cracks in your home and do minor repairs yourself. If not, you have your landlord on speed dial.

2. WhY buY When You can dIY? Your rental is your home and

naturally you want it to reflect your personality and taste – yet, you

put off investing in good decor because you’re “only” renting.

Instead, your Pinterest is filled with pins like “Seven DIY projects for renters” and “Twenty-eight decorating tricks to brighten up your rental home.”

3. You rock at small talk You can only talk to your neighbours so many times throughout the year about the weather. You can keep a lighthearted conversation going and you’re able to get out of it once you’ve reached your floor.

4. ultImate lIfe hacker Being a renter keeps you on your toes and your experience has served you well because today, you are the ultimate life hacker. It doesn’t matter what life throws your way, you’ve worked around your

landlord’s “rules” and now you can find a solution to anything.

5. You roll WIth the punches

If you’re a new renter or an experienced renter, chances are you’re renting because you’re not sure where life is going, and you’re enjoying the ride. Either way, you roll with the punches and enjoy the flexibility that renting provides.

If any of these signs describe you, congratulations! You are a renter.

ADVICE | RENTAL TIpS

what to look for in a rental Whether it’s your first apartment or your 10th, you’re going to want to find the home that best suits your needs. While looking for a new apartment, use this handy checklist to make sure you’ve covered all your bases.

THE RENTAL UNIT

• Is there a storage place for extra belongings such as bikes, luggage, etc.? Who has access to this place?

• Where is the closest bus stop?

• Is the apartment near services that are used regularly? (groceries, bank, fitness) • Is the rental unit clean? Who shovels the snow and cuts the grass? Who supplies the equipment (shovels, lawn mower)?

• Where can vehicles be parked? Is there good lighting outside and in the parking lot?

• How quiet or noisy is the rental unit during the evening for studying or sleeping?

• Are there laundry facilities?

Is there a schedule for use?

Is there a cost? Where is the closest laundromat?

• Does the building have Internet service, or can it be installed?

FINANCES

• How much is the rent?

• Is a security deposit required?

What is the amount?

• Does the rent include utilities: Heat, water, electricity, cable or Internet?

• Will a utility hook-up charge be extra?

• Will parking cost extra? What is the amount?

38 Renters Guide | Aug. 30–Sept. 13, 2019

• Who has to pay for repairs — big ones and small ones?

AVOID ROOMMATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS

• Who will sign the residential tenancy agreement (lease)? It’s best that all parties be named on it.

• What will happen if one person needs to move out before the end of the lease?

• How will costs be shared and bills paid?

• How will problems be resolved?

QUESTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

• Is the lease for a fixed amount of time or month-to-month?

• When and where will the rent be paid? What happens if it is late?

Ask for receipts for any payments.

• Who do you contact if there is a problem?

• Have you arranged for tenants’ insurance?

• Are sublets okay? What about a roommate?

• Are pets allowed? Is a deposit required?

• Is smoking allowed?

• How long can guests stay?

• Are you able to decorate your unit? What is the policy about push pins and hammering nails in the walls?

• When and where are notices delivered when it’s time to move out?

• When will the inspection report be done.

It’s always a good idea to keep copies of documents related to your rental unit, including the tenancy agreement, inspection report and receipts. Asking the right questions and considering the answers before you sign on the dotted line will help you find a rental unit that best suits your needs and lifestyle.
