Where we come in If the number one rule in real estate is “location, location, location” then making sure your next place is in the right “neighbourhood, neighbourhood, neighbourhood” is where we come in. At YPNextHome.ca we have taken “neighbourhood” to the next level. Knowing that finding a home more than just about location, it’s about the micro details of the neighbourhood, we’ve collected data from across the country, right down to details of who lives there. We invite you to explore the over

2700+ neighbourhoods we have on our new website to find out not only who lives there, but what their favourite activities and hobbies are too. Essentially, your neighbourhood is an extension of your home. Get the facts before you decide. This issue features Little Italy, a neighbourhood that we’ve explored and defined ourselves. It’s a small sample of what’s available online. Check it out and let us know what you think! We’d love to hear from you.

I grew up going to concerts and music festivals. I love listening to music. Loud. I probably wasn’t the ideal neighbour in years past – but I think I made the right move living in communities where there were likeminded neighbours. In fact, in one place I regularly popped next door for impromptu dance breaks. I guess if you’re enjoying it, and it works for you and your neighbours, then it’s fine – but this isn’t the

norm. Residents are guaranteed a reasonable level of enjoyment of their home, and nobody’s need to listen to loud music supersedes that. If you’re losing enjoyment of your home because of noise, talk to the neighbours and/or the landlord. This issue we’ve got some great neighbourly advice, plus more on ypnexthome.ca. Visit our website, search our YPNextHome App and get ready to make your move.

Advice | RENTAL RANTINGS

The stupidest thing you could ever do

The midnight move By Jennifer Braun

18

YPNEXTHOME.CA


PICTURE THIS: You and your lover rent a truck and move out of your apartment in the middle of the night. Off into the sunset you go – no worries about broken leases, no cleaning fees, no goodbyes – just each other and your stuff. Sound romantic? Well, it isn’t! Bailing on your lease agreement and leaving your landlord high and dry – especially when you owe them rent – is actually really stupid. Consider these seven cautionary tales before you do a midnight move: YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH IT Let’s just start with the fact that you’re not going to get away with bailing on your lease. Be realistic. Just because you have left the premises, doesn’t mean your landlord won’t find you. That is, unless, you plan on never using a traceable electronic device again – cell phone, Gmail, Facebook. I didn’t think so.

and documents that show you are responsible and would not do something as stupid as a midnight move? I guess you did. Don’t worry about getting your hands on a new reference though. One look at your credit report and any landlord will probably show you the door. DON’T FORGET TO…: When you’re in the middle of a midnight move your mind is wandering, and well, you forget things. You can’t exactly just go back to your recently vacated rental however, and pick up whatever you left behind. Also, don’t forget to ask your landlord for your security deposit back. Oh wait… BYE BYE NEIGHBOURS: I know it’s hard to believe, but some people actually like their neighbours. Or maybe you convinced your brother-in-law to move into the building you have decided to casually flee. Well, so much for dinner parties at uncle Dom’s. Once you leave, there’s not going back.

IT’S GOING TO COST YOU: You’re on the run and you think you just left your landlord high and dry, but the truth is you’re still liable. You’re responsible for the remainder of your lease, for any damage to the apartment, cleaning fees, any outstanding payments and additional payment for the notice you didn’t give. It’s going to cost you – and it’s going to cost you more than necessary. Your landlord is getting the last laugh, all the way to the bank.

WHAT’S THE POINT?: You’re not the first – and certainly not the last – person who has ever had to break a lease, or who has fallen behind in rent. What’s the point of jumping ship and pulling a midnight move? Just speak with your landlord and see if you can both work out an arrangement that will save you time and money. Often the best solution is to find a new renter to take over your lease. Sure it requires some leg work, but it will definitely be worth it.

YOU WILL RUIN YOUR CREDIT RATING: So much rides on your credit rating: your ability to rent an apartment, lease a car and even obtain a credit card. Now, wave all of those things good-bye, because you’re not going to get them after a midnight move! Bills that are past due, like the rent you decided not to pay, will come back to haunt you. If things go all the way to court (yes, your landlord will sue you), it will be reflected on your credit score as well.

Moral of the story: Always remain faithful to your lease agreement and don’t try anything stupid. The villain doesn’t win this battle.

NEED A REFERENCE?: I’m assuming you need a new place to stay after you completely bailed on your last apartment. Did you forget that a new landlord can ask you to provide references

LITTLE ITALY IS located in Centretown

West. The area is bordered on the north by Albert St., east by Bronson Ave., south by Carling Ave. and west by the O-Train tracks. Entering through the archway on Preston St. (also known as Corso Italia), it’s lit at night with the Italian flag. You can feel the local pride immediately. Cultural pride is second to none in Little Italy. Whether it’s St. Anthony’s Feast that draws over 10,000 people to the steps of St. Anthony’s Church every year, or Italian Week, residents of Little Italy are proud to celebrate their traditions and happy to share them with Canadians of any

nationality. Soccer, the world’s most popular sport, is like a religion for many residents of Little Italy. Historically, the neighbourhood was primarily Italian. In recent years, demographics have evolved, now offering a wider diversity and mix of heritages. If you want the $6 latte experience, you can have it in Little Italy. But, why not save some pennies at on of the countless family-owned and run businesses in the area. You can easily spend good money on a fancy meal at one of Little Italy’s fine dining establishments, but for those on a budget, there are ample reasonably

priced options as well. With access to many major bus routes and close proximity to the O-Train, getting around on public transportation should never be a problem. Walking is another great option as many major landmarks and destinations, including downtown are a reasonable distance away. Close to Dow’s Lake, the Rideau River, Carleton University and Le Breton Flats, Little Italy is a convenient area to call home.

Lindsay has lived in the Ottawa/Gatineau area her whole life. When she’s not touring the city in search of the hottest new neighbourhoods she’s busy writing fiction and enjoying life with her husband and two dogs. lindsay_foran01@hotmail.com

Smoke-Free Rentals Who has legal rights? MORE INFO ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/smoke-rent

By Amy Hancock

SECOND HAND SMOKE can be a problem for those living in multi-unit dwellings. It can waft from one unit to another through ducts, doorways and balconies. Most provinces and territories have smoke-free laws that ban smoking at work and public places, but there is no law banning smoking in private residences. A landlord has the legal right to include a no-smoking clause in your rental agreement. The landlord can ban smoking in the whole building, individual units, common areas and even balconies. Smoking is not considered a legal human right in any province. Apartments in your building could legally be smoke-free rentals. If a smoke-free clause has not been included in your rental

agreement, but other tenants are complaining of second-hand smoke, a landlord is still legally permitted to do whatever is necessary to deal with the issue reasonably. Most provincial tenancy laws state that a tenant is entitled to “quiet or peaceful enjoyment” of their home and/or it should be “fit for human habitation.” They recognize that tenants have the legal right to live free from unreasonable disturbances. An official tribunal could determine that second-hand smoke entering another residence to be an unreasonable disturbance. Second hand smoke could violate “peaceful enjoyment” of one’s home and, in many cases, that is enough to legally do something about it. Landlords can ask the smokers to

stop, repair or renovate the building to minimize the transfer of secondhand smoke. Smoke-Free Housing Canada gives comprehensive advice for both landlords and tenants on the issue. They also give tips on what to do if you find smoke entering your home. They recommend you check if smoking is already prohibited in the common areas within your building, and make a request to your landlord to seal cracks that may be allowing smoke to come in. It’s always a smart idea to check your rights as tenants concerning smoking on the property when renting and knowing which buildings have smoke-free rentals.

Advice | RENTERS’ HELP

Which city has all the

really affordable rentals? By Amy Hancock

WE ALL KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE it is to rent in cities like Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary, especially those who live there! But what do we know about the inexpensive cities throughout the country? Where can we find rent dirt cheap without losing access to amenities and services and without living completely in the middle of nowhere? According to the most recent study conducted by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), here’s where.

46

YPNEXTHOME.CA


CORNER BROOK, NEWFOUNDLAND Bachelor suite: $484 One bedroom: $563 Two bedroom: $755 Three bedroom: $800 Welcome to the bustling city of Corner Brook, located on the beautiful west coast of Newfoundland! This little city is considered the service centre for the east coast, has plenty of recreational facilities, professional services, restaurants, shopping and according to the city’s website, employment opportunities.

QUESNEL, BRITISH COLUMBIA Bachelor suite: $451 One bedroom: $557 Two bedroom: $642 Three bedroom: $798 The historic gold rush city of Quesnel is the central playground of the North Cariboo region. Outdoorsy folk congregate here for camping, hiking, fishing and skiing, and you’ll find all the regular amenities of a city of its size, which is approximately 10,000 people.

TROIS RIVIERES, QUEBEC Bachelor suite: $384 One bedroom: $447 Two bedroom: $571 Three bedroom: $618 Rent has actually gone up 1.3 per cent since the previous year, if you can believe it. Located between Montreal and Quebec, Trois Rivieres is a beautiful little city boasting century old buildings and a good selection of restaurants, bars and shops. Industry is being revitalized here and includes the manufacturing of electronics, thermoplastics and other goods. The cheapest urban centre to rent in Canada is… BATHURST, NEW BRUNSWICK Bachelor suite: $359 One bedroom: $458 Two bedroom: $592 Three bedroom: $648 Behold! Rent in the $350s. That would be a small portion of condo fees for a Vancouverite, but in Bathurst, is the very affordable cost of housing. It’s a very picturesque city on the harbour with an historic downtown and an active community. Industries include mining, fishing, forestry and tourism.

WINKLER, MANITOBA One-bedroom: $514 Two-bedroom: $681 The CMHC report for Winkler showed no data for a bachelor or three-bedroom unit, but the one and two bedrooms are remarkably affordable! The little city is getting bigger all the time with an expanding manufacturing sector and strong agricultural presence.
