EDITORS’ NOTES

t

he fact is, it’s not an easy market for renters. There’s a lack of great rental opportunity. While condos continue to go up in rapid succession, new apartment buildings are few and far between. With a growing population, most major urban centres are finding the same bottom line, historically low vacancy rates. What does that mean for you? It means that there are less options and more competition.

When landlords and property managers have a vacancy they often have a waitlist to go to and multiple applications for a single apartment. If there’s a specific community you’d like to live in, it would be to your advantage to go in for a visit and get yourself on that waitlist. It may be word of mouth that helps you find that elusive vacancy – telling friends, classmates and colleagues that you’re apartment hunting may give you some leads that you’d otherwise never unearth. One of the best sources is a magazine – Renters Guide – where our long-standing relationships with landlords and property management companies brings the advertisement of availabilities, allowing you to zero in on available apartments in the right location, size and budget.

With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place. Our magazine and website, rentersguide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments as well as informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

ver time I’ve become familiar with our advertisers as well as numerous other property management companies and property owners. I’ve learned that, like any other business, no two are the same.

I I find it funny when people tell me where they live. The first thing that pops into my mind is “Oh, I know who manages that building!” and then the second thing is either “You picked a good one!” or “Is it as bad as I think it is?” Of course I keep my opinions to myself, for professional and personal reasons.

Each rental company has different goals and different management styles.

You’ll find some properties committed to modernization and technology while others are complacent and go with the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” management style. Some are very proactive, others prefer bandaids; some ignore the issue altogether. Some are committed to customer services others to the company’s bottom line. More and more I’m finding that companies are developing a social awareness and making the effort to give back to the community and be stewards of the environment.

Because of all of the differences, it’s really important to do your homework.

There is a lot of information out there, online and in print, about the different companies and communities. When you pay a visit to the communities you may want to chat with current residents. Take the time to have a good look at what’s in good repair and note what upkeep hasn’t been done. Ask lots of questions and make sure you feel that the company is a good fit for your needs and expectations.

Renters Guide offers great information about the various companies and communities, so read on for some insight into your apartment search. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

theRe was a time when one would Confine Roman shades to the important rooms of the house – the dining room and the master bedroom, perhaps.

But that’s all changing as the traditionalRoman shade – hobbled – is joined by the modern flat version with its well-tailored look. Now, you can indulge in Roman shades in any room in the house, choosing from an exciting and growing range of fabrics to carry your room style though to the windows.

“I felt like a kid in a candy store when I opened our new sample book,” says Mary Dobson, spokesperson for Levolor Window Fashions in Canada and also a guest expert on CityLine. “There is so much to choose from, and it’s all beautiful. The stripes in particular set my imagination reeling with the possibilities.”

In the past, when creating a traditional Roman shade you required traditional sewing skills. But Mike Muyal, director of marketing for Levolor, assures that this is no longer the case.“Levolor has always offered a custom shade making service, and it applies to all the types of shades we offer, including Romans,” he explains.

“Homeowners can select their preferred combination of face and lining fabric, hobbled or flat style, cordless or standard operation, and many other details of trim and installation, and have the finished shade delivered to their home. It’s a popular service that is helping to bring the well-tailored look of Romans to windows throughout the home.”

Although it is possible to review new products and colours and options on line, Mary Dobson strongly recommends working through an independent retailer, or selected home-improvement retailers, whose experienced decorators will help ensure a perfect fit and hassle-free installation.

How to build your wealth

From stocks and bonds to mutual Funds and gIcs, deciding where to invest your money can be daunting for first timers when faced with a dizzying display of investment options to choose from.

one basket. Because most people don’t have enough cash

But moving from saving to investing can be an effective strategy to help build your wealth over time, and most people are surprised when they speak to an advisor for the first time and find that investing doesn’t have to be complicated or risky.

the higher return potential of the stock market while

TD Canada Trust offers the following tips for first-time investors: 1. Start small – You don’t have to invest large amounts of money at a time. Look for investment options that offer a low minimum investment. Investing small amounts regularly can make a big difference in the long run.

2. Diversify – This means you don’t put all your eggs in

to buy a lot of different investment products themselves, buying into a mutual fund can be a good alternative.

3. Understand risk – Look for investments that match the level of risk you’re comfortable with. Remember, investing doesn’t have to be risky. Market linked GICs, for example, let low-risk investors take advantage of guaranteeing the principal.

4. Automate – A pre-authorized purchase plan will automatically invest a set amount at regular intervals from your bank account. Regular contributions let you benefit from compound growth, meaning you earn interest on your interest.

5. Speak to a financial advisor – An advisor at your local bank can help you map out your investment goals and develop a plan on how to achieve them. Consider products like mutual funds or GICs, which are managed by professionals on behalf of investors. NC Issue 05 I HRM

H&R Block:

Unusual situations and their taxing implications H&R Block accountants Have seen a lot of inteResting deductions, and try to assist clients when they can. Some deductions, though unusual, are permissable because the situation meets the CRA’s criteria – other deductions don’t. Here are some strange situations that have occurred with Canadian taxpayers over the years: The Tax Court decided a farmer was allowed to claim cat and dog food because they were outdoor pets meant to keep wildlife away from their blueberries. Dog food is also deductible if it is for a service dog.

Declare income from all sources - legal and illegal. If you fail to claim income earned illegally, if you are convicted of the crime, you can expect to hear from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) about unpaid income taxes.

If you attend school outside of Canada, the tuition should be tax deductible as long as the school is recognized by the CRA. Lunch time supervision costs are considered child care expenses and can be claimed on your return. This also applies to before and after-school programs.

unusual tax DeDuctions DenieD

Losses incurred by a pathological gambler could not be deducted against his income from other sources because he did not have a “reasonable expectation of profit.”The taxpayer in this case embezzled money from his employer to fund his addiction. (Molony v. The Queen 90 D.T.C. 1394) The cost to an actress of going to post-production wrap-up parties was disallowed because it was not clear whether she worked in all of the productions. (Riley v. The Queen [2003] 4 C.T.C. 2961) The cost of a haircut is not deductible against employment income even when you are a serviceman and you are required to get one every two weeks. (Rouillard v. The Queen [2000] 4 C.T.C. 2065) The argument that the Income Tax Act is “not susceptible of discernment by the average occupant of this land” is not a valid defense against the charge of failing to file income tax returns.

Sit closer to the TV – it’s allowed

H

aven’t we all had someone tell us we’re sitting too close to the television?

It’s a common perception, with 46 per cent of Canadians polled in an Angus Reid survey believing you need to sit three times the length of your TV away from the screen.

of America recommend the following calculation: take the diagonal length of your television and multiply by 1.5 to determine how far away to sit. For example, with an 80-inch TV you’d only need to sit 10 feet away for an optimal viewing experience.

If you don’t think you have the room, think again. In fact, 65 per cent of Canadians surveyed say they keep their largest TV in a room estimated to

be between 150 and 300 square feet, meaning most have the room for a screen 80-inches or larger.

If you’re still not sure, use this handy chart to pick the perfect size TV for your home: • For a 60-inch TV, sit 7.5 feet back • For a 70-inch TV, sit 8.75 feet back • For an 80-inch TV, sit 10 feet back • For a 90-inch TV, sit 11.25 feet back NC

Experts in the field, however, say that due to the improved picture quality of HDTV, you can actually sit closer to the TV than ever before while still enjoying a beautiful picture. This means, even for a smaller room, you can, in fact, bring home one of those large screen models.

Whether that is a home business, or homework, correspondence, crafts, paying bills or occasional work from home, the spaceTheRentersGuide.ca must fit the purpose. But what if there are various people who need to use the home office for different reasons? Or if you just need to entertain your kids so that you can keep an eye on them while you work?

Location, Location, Location Do you have a spare bedroom, den or a basement that can be used for this purpose?

“You need quiet, especially if you telecommute. A high-traffic area doesn’t really work,” says Adam Shearer, president of California Closets.

In smaller spaces, families must be creative. A spare bedroom can have options for a home office, says Enrico Terisigni, general manager of Organized Interiors. The company even offers a wall bed home office system. It has a double- or a queen-sized bed that pulls down from wall when needed – with space for pillows and clothing.

“When the bed is not needed, it goes back up against the wall, and there’s room for a home office, as well as files and secret documents,” he says.

Organized Interiors even has an “office in a closet” solution that is very popular.

FuLLy equipped and designed For your FamiLy Once you’ve decided where your office will go, think about what will be needed in it. Shearer says that most offices include lower or base cabinetry that could house file drawers, a work surface or countertop, and upper storage.

Seating is also very important. Having enough legroom is key. “We recommend a minimum of 30 inches under that countertop for someone to sit and work.”

Don’t forget about the little details about the unique people who are going to use the office. Are the people who use it right or left handed? Is the chair at the right height and ergonomic? Is there adequate light at each workspace? Some people may want to combine the home office with a home craft centre if someone in the family is artistic or wraps a lot of gifts. Remember technological concerns such as power. Are there enough electrical outlets and are they where they need to be so that everyone can plug in their computers?

If you need help planning your home office, companies such as California Closets and Organized Interiors can send a designer to evaluate your space and create a customized solution for your family. think about the chiLdren Safety is paramount. If kids are going to be using the space, is it childproofed for them?

Where should the wee ones sit? A child-sized desk or table is great for little ones to colour or do their homework while you work. Having art supplies and toys at their level also promotes creativity and keeps them occupied. sharing a workspace How do you make the home office work so that people can work together at the same time?

“Ideally, it needs to be laid out so there are areas for everyone to sit,” says Shearer. “If you don’t have enough room, you are going to have to trade off.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

Professional organizer Hellen Buttigieg, owner of We Organize U says that “face to face” desks – like for detectives in the movies – “are great for family members that enjoy the

interaction while they work.” If this is too distracting for some people, desks can be placed in each corner of the room. “Keep in mind that each person has their own way of working, and it’s important to set up a space that takes that into consideration,” adds Buttigieg.

Sharing some things can make life a lot easier, such as office supplies, and a printer/scanner/copier, says Buttigieg.

Shearer suggests a cabinet or file drawer for each family member. Each parent has a drawer for their bills, each child has a drawer for their artwork. Alternatively colour-coded files for each family member can work.

Functionality aside, there is the human element of sharing and getting along that makes working together a challenge. How can you make working together pleasant?

“Boundaries and respect,” says Buttigieg. “Everyone should have their own space carved out, even if it’s a small section of the room. Family members need to respect and not infringe on someone else’s space. That means one person can’t pile their papers on someone else’s desk when their own desk gets TheRentersGuide.ca buried.”

BOXING IT ALL UP without the headaches

BY CHUCK RESNICK

IT’S NO BIG SECRET MOVING CAN BE STRESSFUL – from broken dishes to lost items.

But there are a few things you can do to make the whole process a little easier on the nerves. x Start by planning your moving day well in advance. Once you select your moving company, book your reservations two to four weeks before your scheduled move day to guarantee availability.

Next, it’s time to roll up those sleeves and begin boxing up your household or office space. Choosing boxes to do this may not be as much of a nobrainer as you’d presume: • Boxes of books get heavy fast so ensure to use only small boxes when it comes to these items. Apply this general rule to everything you’re packing: the heavier the item, the smaller the box.

• Emptying the closet can be an organizing nightmare. Use specific wardrobe boxes to simplify the process. To save space, clothes in drawers can be packed into suitcases.

Assign boxes to specific rooms. Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box – it can make for a frustrating unpacking process or a wild goose chase if you’re looking for kitchen utensils in the living room box. Keep a record of what goes into which box so you can find what you need instantly.

When it comes to large appliances, take a peek at the owner’s manuals to see if there are special instructions for moving.

Packing breakables requires the utmost care.

Always stack dishes upwards and never use newsprint to wrap fine china as it can be messy to clean. Instead, choose protective packing paper or bubble wrap.

With these tips and a few deep breaths, you’re well on your way to a smooth-sailing move.

TheRentersGuide.ca

• As tempting as it may be to pick up used cardboard boxes from the grocery store, don’t. You never know what little critter is hiding in the corner of food boxes – or if the box will be strong enough to support your possessions. In fact, don’t use used boxes in general; you don’t know how much weight they TheRentersGuide.ca can handle or how much weight they’ve already handled.

quick tips

Organize on a budget

Cost-effective tips to cut your clutter by hellen buttigieg

P

rices keep going up and up, so when you’re cutting costs, why not cut clutter at the same time?

You don’t need to spend your hard-earned money on expensive storage solutions – chances are, you may have the thrifty answers in your home already!

Quick tips on organizing your home Use what you have. Organizing doesn’t have to cost a fortune; just get creative. Before rushing out to buy bins and baskets, look around your home for containers you can re-purpose. Here are some ideas: » Egg cartons or ice cube trays can be used to organize earring sets, cuff links or hair accessories. » Empty plastic baby-wipe containers can be used to store crayons, first aid or sewing supplies, and they stack easily on a shelf. » Empty baby food jars can be used to keep touch-up paint, spare buttons, or screws and nails. » A mug holder can be re-purposed into a scarf or baseball cap holder. » Empty tissue boxes can hold plastic grocery bags or, with the top cut off, packets of gravy and instant soup. » The large clear plastic container that you can buy prewashed salad in is perfect for storing special occasion shoes, keeping them visible yet dust-free.

Next to Christmas, summer is the busiest season for clothing retailers. Before you go shopping, eliminate the clothes you don’t wear to make room for new items. Use the “one in – one out” rule: for every item you bring home, let go of one. The advantages are you’ll spend less because you know what you already have, you can buy clothes that co-ordinate with existing items, and you’ll be able to get dressed faster because there will be fewer decisions to make.

Corral coin clutter. Do you have loose change in every TheRentersGuide.ca part of your home? Grab a clear jar and label it “fun funds”. Now you have a designated place to deposit those coins, both reducing clutter and creating a little nest egg.

Once the jar is full, treat yourself to a small indulgence and then start again.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Zip bags are a cost-effective cure-all for clutter. Plastic bags that zip shut are for more than just keeping sandwiches fresh. Use the large ones to store shoes when travelling so that they don’t soil your clothing. Use the small ones to organize the contents of your drawers. Place elastic bands in one bag, and cotton swabs in another. Use them for band-aids, cosmetic sponges and bobby pins.

Items remain sorted, clean and dust-free. Bonus: no need to label because you can see the contents clearly.

Quick tips on organizing your home office Want to reduce the amount of paper piling up in your office, and save trees and money as well? Pull the paper out of your printer and store it in a file folder across the room. Although this may seem counter-productive, you will actually be saving time in the long run. By making it less convenient to print, you will begin to print more consciously and less often. As a result, you’ll have fewer papers to pile, sort through and file later, and you’ll spend less money on print cartridges and paper.

Quick tips on organizing your life Why buy when you can rent or borrow? The next time you need something, rather than automatically driving to the store to purchase it, take a moment to consider a less-expensive, clutter-free alternative. Try a rental store, a library, or ask friends/family to borrow the item you need. That way, you don’t have to store it forever. Acquiring and clinging is a habit that can be broken!

quicktips

Living together, living better Are you thinking About moving in together? This decision might be an opportunity to improve your financial situation by combining your income and expenses and doing some long-term planning.

Advantages of a relationship: Being a couple is bound to have an impact on your income and expenses. Living under the same roof is much less expensive than living alone. You can save a great deal on the costs of electricity, heating, telephone, Internet, groceries and automobiles – not to mention, rent.

Have a frank discussion: Before you combine your finances, it is important to talk to your partner to get a better idea of your spending habits, income, debts and savings. Discuss the possibility of opening joint accounts (chequing or savings) to cover your essential household expenses or to save money.

HRM I Issue 05

You might also choose to keep a personal account for your other expenses. Whatever choices you make, you should agree on how your joint accounts are to be used, and the amounts you will each deposit in them. Also take the time to assess your banking habits and make sure that you have the bank accounts that meet your needs. It could help you save money.

Seek a balanced approach: Once you have agreed on the lifestyle you would like to have, you can draw up your budget to obtain an overview of your total income, your essential and non-essential expenses and your ability to save.

You may not particularly enjoy drawing up a budget, but simply setting objectives, such as purchasing a house or condo and saving for your children’s education if planning to have a family, will motivate you to draw up your budget and, more importantly, to stick to it.

More information about how to draw up a budget and choose a suitable bank account is available online on the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) website, fcac.gc.ca. You can also follow @FCACan on Twitter and on YouTube. NC

Accessorize

me!

by jane lockhart

L

ooking to add some “pow!” to your space? Want to make a new home feel lived in and warm? Or are you simply looking to put some personality into a lifeless room? Look no further, the answer is clear – it’s in the power of accessories! There is no better way to finish a room than by adding those little touches that not only complete the design vision, but they often take seemingly unconnected items and simply tie them together.

TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

Today there are an abundance of accessories available in multiple colours and endless styles.

Accessories can range from the obvious furnishings like pillows and throws, to clocks, area rugs and even artwork and lamps. Truly, anything short of the main items in a room required for it to function can be considered an accessory. Even some small pieces of furniture such as ottomans and side chairs can be classified as room accessories, depending on the space. But for the most part, people generally think of those little decorative items as the TheRentersGuide.ca finishing touches which have immense impact, despite their small size.

Accessorizing can perform multiple functions within a room, depending on the style desired. For instance, the best way to tie a colour scheme together in a room is with throw pillows, blankets and small objects in a variety of co-ordinating colours.

If high impact is your goal, select items in complementary or high-contrast colours to the room itself so they stand out against their surroundings. Or, if your space seems a bit flat, go for pieces that have strong pattern and texture compared to those larger items surrounding their placement.

The key to great accessories is to determine the overall goal to be achieved. Once this has happened, shopping for particular items can start. Know what you are shopping for before your begin, otherwise the temptation is to buy multiple items with no overall plan for their display.

Accessory placement is as important as the item itself. Where possible, it’s best to stick to groups of objects rather than random placement of things all over surfaces. Groups of objects create mini focal points and reinforce the visual picture to the viewer. Varying heights and sizes of objects together add interest and break up flat walls behind. But remember to always keep it simple.

When beginning the process of placing items within a room, clear the space of all existing accessories. Move them to an adjacent room, and then add newly acquired pieces to this group as well. It’s from this group that you will select the pieces for positioning within the desired room. This allows you to determine key areas for placement.

TheRentersGuide.ca Now, there is a fine line between well-displayed accessories and visual clutter. This can occur when too many items are

placed all over a room with little rhyme or reason for location.

Having too many accessories is as bad as too few, and can completely tank a good room design quickly. Use restraint – you can always add more over time.

Never overlook fresh flowers as a soft and fragrant accessory to any room. The colour and texture of a bouquet can add that personal flair and brings a touch of the outdoors in.

When shopping for accessories, check out local shops or unrelated retail stores, as items from these locations can often fit your room perfectly but offer a more individual element to the space. Even when you are on holiday or business travel, check out regional shops to see if anything catches your eye.

Unique pieces gathered over a lifetime can add wonderful richness and depth to your home, making it personal to you.

In fact, well-chosen and cleverly displayed objects will continue to tell a story within a room and speak volumes about you and your loved ones without you even speaking a word.

quicktips

Don’t fall for sprIng cleanIng Myths In antIcIpatIon of aprIl showers turnIng Into May flowers, many families will be pulling out sprays and wipes, and beginning to freshen up their homes as part of their annual spring cleaning tradition. While cleaning the whole home may seem like a daunting task, not falling for these common myths will keep your cleaning team on track:

concerned with the safety and harshness of bleach – and don’t like the harsh fumes or harsh chemical residue that is left behind by bleach. Now, however, there are cleaning products available that do not require rubber gloves, a mask, or rinsing, such as Lysol Power & Free, which is made with hydrogen peroxide and breaks down simply into water and oxygen.

Myth 3: Bathrooms are the dirtiest part of the home

Myth 1: Visibly clean is clean

While people may think the bathroom is one of the most germ-laden rooms of the house, the kitchen is actually much worse. Canadians were found to have more mould inside their fridges, than in their bathrooms, according to a recent Hygiene Council survey.

While the kitchen may look sparkling clean, it may be harbouring bacteria or viruses that are harmful to your health. Bacteria, fungi and viruses can survive on surfaces for extended periods of time, from hours to days, so disinfectants need to be used to remove them.

To help prevent the spread and cross-contamination of germs and mould, use a quality disinfectant on kitchen surfaces, cleaning cloths, mops, bathrooms, floors, toilets, door handles, telephones, toys and computer TheRentersGuide.ca keyboards – all hotspots for germs.

Kitchen towels were found to be the most contaminated, followed by the fridge. Other germ hotspots that shouldn’t be forgotten when spring cleaning include: door knobs, phone receivers and mouth pieces, refrigerator and microwave door handles, light switches, computer keyboards, remote controls and handheld games. Bacteria, fungi and viruses can survive on surfaces for extended periods of time, so disinfectant wipes or paper towels and a disinfecting cleaner should be used.

Myth 2: a clean home must smell like harsh chemicals
