B>CID dcZ-%ÒkZ Where hotel meets home INTRODUCING MINTO’S LATEST PREMIUM RENTAL, WHERE THE SERVICES OF A GREAT HOTEL MEET THE COMFORTS OF HOME IN DOWNTOWN OTTAWA. Minto one80five, Minto’s latest premium rental, has officially opened its doors in the heart of downtown Ottawa at 185 Lyon Street North. It is where you will find the services of a great hotel alongside the comforts of home, in a location that puts you at the centre of it all. Be the first to live here. It’s time to love where you live. It’s one thing to live in a space that is highly functional, but when you marry that with a design sense that lifts your spirits, that is something altogether different. The suites will delight you every time you walk in. Minto’s designers have created an environment of timeless quality, where textures and light all flow seamlessly. The open concept layout and urban, upscale design will have you arranging furniture in your mind upon arrival. The modern kitchen with high-efficiency stainless steel appliances are the perfect pairing for intimate dinners for two or multi-course dinner parties that last long into the night. Minto one80five boasts of hotel-inspired amenities you don’t expect from a rental. It is, in fact, a home that comes equipped with the services and pampering usually reserved for places you eventually need to check out of. Not anymore. You can start your day with a workout in the fully equipped fitness centre or take a swim in the 20-metre saltwater pool. Life’s simple needs such as dry cleaning services, parcel acceptance and luggage carts are here for you – all you need to do is ask the 24-hour concierge to assist you with whatever you need. Special touches like your morning paper and fresh coffee can be found in the lobby every day. And at the end of your day, you can relax and unwind on the expansive outdoor terrace or you can comfortably cozy up in our multi-use theatre room. And when you do need to grab a few things, you will find convenience, grocery, and drug stores just steps away in the main concourse of Minto Place. When it’s time to venture outside, Minto one80five is about as close to work,

TheRentersGuide.ca rest and play as you can get! The 31-story building is located in Ottawa’s

central business district where you can walk virtually anywhere you want or need to go. There are restaurants for all tastes, shopping for all styles, entertainment in all forms, government departments and embassies close at hand.

A true labour of love, this exclusive property is the latest in the Minto portfolio to confirm the company’s unwavering commitment to growth in this city. As an integral part of the Ottawa area for nearly 60 years, Minto is proud of its superior quality and craftsmanship, the sense of belonging they create and their legacy of focusing on what matters most. It’s what the company’s four founding brothers stood by when they dreamt of building better places for people to live and work in; and it’s what they will stand by today.

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.

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.

You can tell a lot about an apartment building from your first visit to inquire about vacancies.

The best results happen when staff members respond to your inquiry or request promptly and efficiently.

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. 18

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

HOW insurance WORKS

WHILE IT MAY SEEM COMPLEX, INSURANCE IS REALLY QUITE SIMPLE: The payments (or premiums) of the many pay for the losses of a few. Your premiums go into a large pool, if you will, at your insurance company. The claims of the few are paid from that pool. Because there are more people contributing to the pool than there are making claims, there is always enough to pay the claims – even large single claims like when someone is permanently disabled as a result of a car collision, or many smaller claims like those resulting from a natural disaster. (The 1998 ice storm that hit parts of Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick resulted in an estimated 700,000 claims for damage totalling $1.4 billion.) However, large disasters (such as the ice storm) do come close to emptying the pool. INSURANCE FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES Even when the pool comes close to emptying, there is another pool from which insurance companies can draw to pay claims. Some of your premiums are used by your insurance company to buy reinsurance – insurance for insurance companies. Sometimes losses are so big – like those resulting from an earthquake – that there is no way that an insurance company can cover the costs. Reinsurance is an extra layer of protection against large losses.

ANNUAL REPLENISHING Your insurance is an annual

TheRentersGuide.ca contract, so the pool operates for only one year at a time.

Your premiums and the premiums of others are based on how much money the insurance companies think they will need to pay the coming year’s claims. Your premiums do not build up over the years – unlike the premiums for some types of life TheRentersGuide.ca insurance.

HOW PREMIUMS ARE CALCULATED Within reasonable limits, some of which are prescribed by law, your premium is calculated to reflect the probability that you will make a claim – that is, that you will draw funds from the insurance pool. Those who are unlikely to draw from the pool pay less than those who are more likely to draw from it. Insurers take many factors into consideration to determine the likelihood that you will make a claim. A common misconception is that a policyholder who has never made a claim should pay less, little or nothing for insurance. While it is true that past claims history is important, a more reliable indicator of how likely a person or business is to make a claim is the statistical group to which he/she/it belongs.

INDUSTRY EARNINGS Insurance companies generally do not make money on the premiums gathered from policyholders. In 2005, insurance companies paid more than $21 billion in claims while taking in $35 billion in premiums. The difference between the premiums and claims, in this case $14 billion, is used by the companies to pay salaries and taxes ($6.2 billion in 2005), and to cover the overhead costs (such as electricity bills) of running a business. It is also used to pay the administrative costs of settling a claim. INSURANCE PAYS FOR … Insurance pays for only those types of losses described in your contract. It is very important that you read your policy and/or talk to your insurance representative about what you are covered for and what you’re not. Insurance will not pay for every problem that you may encounter, nor is it a maintenance contract. Insurance is generally intended – and priced accordingly – to help policyholders cope with the financial consequences of unpredictable events that are “sudden and accidental.” If, for example, you live on a floodplain by a river, flooding of your property in the spring is not sudden or accidental; it is inevitable and, therefore, uninsurable. The Insurance Bureau of Canada offers information for consumers to help make them aware of their insurance needs and assist them in understanding the types of insurance available. They are the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90 per cent of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada.

ACCORDING TO THE SPRING RENTAL MARKET SURVEY 1 RELEASED RECENTLY BY CANADA MORTGAGE AND HOUSING CORPORATION (CMHC), the average vacancy rate for primary purpose-built apartments in Canada’s 35 major centres2 was 2.7 per cent in April 2014, unchanged from April 2013. “The stability of the national vacancy rate is due to supply and demand factors,” said Bruno Duhamel, manager of Economic and Housing Analysis.“Demand for rental housing continues to be supported by population gains from net migration and stable employment levels for young workers aged 20 TheRentersGuide.ca to 24”. The results of CMHC’s spring survey also revealed that major centres with the lowest vacancy rates in April 2014 were Edmonton and Calgary (1.4 per cent each) and Kelowna

(1.5 per cent). The major centres with the highest vacancy rates were Moncton (10.7 per cent), Saint John (10.0 per cent), and Charlottetown (8.7 per cent). The Canadian average two-bedroom rent in new and existing structures was $930 in April 2014. With respect to the census metropolitan areas, the highest average monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments were in Vancouver ($1,274), Calgary ($1,267), and Toronto ($1,241). The lowest average monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments were in Saguenay ($562), Trois-Rivières ($571) and Sherbrooke ($594). As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of high quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions. CMHC’s Rental Market Survey is conducted twice a year in April and October, to provide vacancy, availability and rent information on privately initiated structures in all centres with populations of 10,000 and more across Canada. Reports are released in June and December. Note that there are differences between the fall and spring surveys. The spring survey covers apartment and row structures containing at least three rental units, and, unlike the fall survey, does not report information on: a) Smaller geographic zones within centres; b) Secondary rental market (rented condominium apartments, single detached, semi-detached, duplexes or accessory apartments).

1

Major centres are based on Statistics Canada Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) with the exception of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA, which is treated as two centres for Rental Market Survey purposes and Charlottetown, which is a Census Agglomeration (CA).

Key points to consider

EVER NOTICE RENTAL COMMUNITIES BOAST THEY ARE “just minutes from shopping, schools and all the amenities!” and that “Everything you need is right at your doorstep!”? This is not just marketing gimmickry at work. These factors really matter, as such attractions are critical in determining appeal to renters – for lifestyle and comfort while living there. However, one of those factors carries a little more weight than the others: proximity to infrastructure. The federal and provincial governments have been spending billions on infrastructure improvements over the last few years to upgrade highways, transit systems, airports and other services such as health care. For rental developments, this means more and better access. It’s no exaggeration to say the infrastructure developments have allowed new communities to literally sprout up along the way. Numerous studies throughout North America and elsewhere show that proximity to mass transit and highways has the most significant impact on property values, since it improves residents’ accessibility to a city’s central business district and other areas with employment opportunities. The greatest benefit, according to Cutting Edge Research Inc., a Vancouverbased real estate consultancy that examines housing trends across the country, is for properties located within 500 metres of stations along new transit lines. “Distance is now measured in minutes, not kilometres,” says Don Campbell, president of Cutting Edge, summarizing a principle that renters anywhere in Canada can follow: as people increasingly factor commuting times into their renting decisions, proximity to transportation is a top determining factor for convenience. Prospective renters, then, while you’re out there shopping for your new home, take a look around and see how close you are to the nearest highway, subway or light rail transit. Then follow the tracks to those housing projects and communities and your new home.

Do you want to live in a city, a town or in the country? Where do you work, and how easy will it be to get there and at what are the commuting costs? If you have or plan to have children, where will they go to school and how will they will get there? Do you want safe walking areas, recreational facilities or other amenities such as shopping nearby? How close do you want to be to family and friends?
