EDITORS’ NOTES he moment you move into an apartment from a reliable property management company, you will be able to enjoy a number of benefits. One cheque basically takes care of it all. It’s finding the right location that takes work.
Unlike furniture, paint and being a good neighbour, your home’s location is the one thing that you cannot change, so it’s important to choose wisely. What critical things should you consider? There are so many personal variables, it’s really up to you to decide. As an example, if it is just as important to be close to your children’s school as it is to your place of work, then look for a location that offers you the best of both worlds.
If you own a car but want to use public transportation whenever possible to save on parking and gas costs, a well-connected mass transit hub may be a better option for you. If you’re a walker, close proximity to major amenities should be a definite consideration. Doing errands, such as grocery shopping and banking on foot, has many health benefits and gives you a chance to meet your neighbours – and discover new places too. Don’t let the cost of rent solely dictate your choice of location. Make a list of your priorities first, and then take the time to assess each location for its merits and weight your options. Once you’ve nailed that down, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of a great new place to call home.

i
am not a big fan of having more space than I need. It’s a bone of contention between my husband and me. He would prefer more space, I always want less. It’s an odd thing to disagree on, but there are a lot of good reasons to keep the amount of space you live in to a minimum. Reason 1: Cleaning. The more space you have, the more there is to clean. Reason 2: Budget. Why pay for space that you don’t really use. One bedroom per person. One kitchen, a bathroom or two, a den and maybe some play space for the kids. Is a guest bedroom really necessary or would it be more cost effective to use a guest suite in the building or even a local hotel? For the number of times one uses a dining room, might it be easier and more comfortable to make use of the building’s party room? Reason 3: Urban sprawl. The population keeps growing. The demands on the city keep growing. If everyone used only the amount of space they needed, the city would be much more efficient. But there is something to be said for not denying yourself what you need. If you do need a guest room because you always have family and friends come into town then make sure you have one. If you’re an avid entertainer then find yourself a suite that affords you the room. If you’re a collector, make sure hunt for a suite with plenty of storage. And if you’re a hobbyist or work at home don’t forego the studio or office space. Your home should really be a place that reflects your needs – not anyone else’s. When you start your search for that new apartment make sure you know what you need in your home. Now that you’re ready to start that search, we’re here to help. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find the perfect place. Our magazine and website, homeTRADER.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments as well as informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Make do a Month B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade
I
f there’s any month when you’re most likely to wonder if all the bills will get paid it’s usually January. After the feverish rush of the holidays and all the unexpected expenses that popped up, no doubt things will be a little tight. Add the extra cost of heating and the jump in “fresh” food prices and you’ll be looking for ways to trim back.
finances
But what if you have family or friends whose birthday falls in January. You’ll have to buy something. No you don’t. You can give something of yourself instead of something purchased. Make their favorite cookies, offer to cook them a meal or a bunch of meals for the freezer for those extra busy workdays, or create a coupon for three nights of free babysitting. Maybe you’re a computer genius and can offer to do maintenance or repairs. Perhaps you’re a mechanic and can offer a tune-up. Substitute your energy for spending money. After the buzz of the holidays you’ll no doubt be happy to stay home for the first couple of weeks. Then you may start feeling itchy. You’ve got to get out. You can feel the walls closing in. Time to hit that great new restaurant that just opened up, or head out to the clubs. Wait a minute. This is Make Do Month.
Enter Make Do Month. This is the month when you stretch everything a little farther so you spend a lot less. If you get invited to a party, you don’t rush out and buy something new, you get creative and shop your closet. And if you need a little something different, you shop a friend’s closet. Or hold a clothing exchange. What you don’t do is spend money. When the weather is warm, it’s easy to do lots of free things. When it’s cold, entertainment gets more expensive. Sure there’s that great movie you’d love to take the family to for a night out of the house. For a family of four, you’re probably looking at $100 or more with popcorn and drinks. Recycle a movie you already own or do a movie swap with friends, add some home-made popcorn and a 12pack of pop and you can probably do it for $10. Now that’s making do. January is also a good month to experiment with a new routine as you make do. If you’re used to buying coffee every day, brew your own at home or work and save big-time. If you regularly go out for lunch, pack one from home for four out of every five days and not only will you drop those holiday pounds, you’ll be able to pay off that holiday debt.
Call up a couple of friend and throw a pot-luck game night instead. See if you can do it at their house this time. Start a tradition of once a month game or poker nights and rotate from one friend’s home to another. No one says you can’t have fun in Make Do Month. You just can’t spend gobs of money. Make Do Month is a conscious decision to stretch every dollar as far as it’ll go. Try it and see if just becoming conscious save you money. I’ll bet your pleasantly surprised.

Park Property Management Inc. wins FRPO MAC Award for Curb Appeal at 283 Bristol Street in Guelph
P
ark Property Management Inc. has always been known for their forward thinking and ability to develop and maintain exceptional properties. Being recognized with an award at this year’s FRPO MAC Awards is well deserved.
On November 29th 2012 the Federation of Rentalhousing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) held their annual Marketing, Achievement and Construction (MAC) awards. Park Property Management Inc. proudly walked away with a win in Curb Appeal for their property at 283 Bristol Street in Guelph and was also a finalist in the category of Advertising Excellence - Corporate Branding. The awards ceremony, much like the Oscars for the Ontario rental industry, recognizes the leading property management companies in Ontario and their commitment to excellence in the industry. This year FRPO received hundreds of nominations from various landlords province wide. Being nominated is an achievement in itself when considering the strong competitors in each category. “Receiving the win in Curb Appeal for the renovation that 283 Bristol St. is a much appreciated thank you to the residents, staff, and contractors for the six months of work that went into this update,”explains Nicole McNeely, Park Property Management’s marketing coordinator.“The team working on the building did an amazing job. Base 3, the architects; Ontech, the engineers, and the contractor Brook Restoration were an amazing team. This building now has a certain character to it which receives positive feedback from tenants and the community.” Curb appeal is an important feature in a residential rental property. It serves the residents in enjoying their home. It creates a welcoming and tranquil environment to come home to and makes an exceptional first impression on guests. But it’s also an important feature to the surrounding community. Rental communities take up a significant portion of the block, and having beautiful grounds, manicured landscaping, an elegant and well-maintained building really enhances the beauty of its surrounding community and is definitely welcomed by all residents, not just those that live on the property.
Over its 40-year history Park Property Management has gained a reputation for its commitment to quality, dedication to customer service and attention to detail. With management onsite, residents can rest assured that assistance is never far away. Paired with an easy-to-navigate website and interactive social media, any information a tenant or prospective tenant wishes to gather is at their fingertips. Park Property Management adds a personal touch to its relationship with its residents through contests, seasonal events and community interaction because Park Property Management believes in feeling good about where you live.

MIKEY defibrillator
gives two-year-old Carter Hansen a second chance at life
A
MIKEY defibrillator administered by Craig and Jennifer Hansen on Tuesday, December 5, 2012, has given their 2-year old son Carter, a second chance at life. The defibrillator, provided through the Mikey’s Kids program, was on standby at the Hansen family’s Nobleton, ON home. This is the 15th save by a MIKEY, since The Mikey Network was founded in 2003.
Said Craig Hansen, “In May 2012, our two-year-old son Carter went into arrhythmia and then cardiac arrest due to a previously undiagnosed benign heart tumor. The paramedics got a rhythm back after 27 minutes, but the resulting significant brain injury kept us at SickKids and Holland Bloorview Children’s Rehab Hospital for six months, and we’re still fighting to regain as much of our son’s coordination, vision and speech as we can. “We went home a month ago with an AED from The Mikey Network, knowing that any further arrest would be incredibly critical. Neurologists told us that by the time EMS arrived, it would be too late. Our only chance was the defibrillator. “Carter went into arrhythmia again on Tuesday morning [December 4, 2012]. We started CPR immediately. Because of the training supplied by The Mikey Network, we had his shirt off and the pads on him well ahead of the voice prompts from the AED, which analyzed and advised a shock, which we delivered. The change in our son was immediate. “He started breathing on his own again. We observed him and kept the AED on him until EMS arrived. “You guys gave us another chance with our son. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Craig, Carter and Jennifer Hansen with their lifesaving MIKEY photo: Paul Casselman
Said Hugh Heron, chairman of The Mikey Network,“When a child has a serious cardiac problem, the family lives in constant fear, knowing the heart can skip a beat at any moment. As a result, the child often has to stay close to home and/or a hospital. The Mikey’s Kids program provides families with portable MIKEYS so these children can lead more normal lives. The Mikey Network works with various organizations including Toronto’s SickKids Hospital, Ottawa’s Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and Hamilton’s McMaster Children’s Hospital, to provide MIKEYS to families in need.” The Mikey Network, founded in 2003, is a registered Canadian charity working to create public awareness and provide education about heart healthy lifestyles. To date, 15 lives have been saved, over 1,300 MIKEY defibrillators have been placed across Canada, with 11,000 people trained in CPR/AED. The Mikey Network was named for Mike Salem, a valued partner at Heathwood Homes and The Heron Group who experienced sudden cardiac arrest and died on a golf course in 2002. Other Mikey Network programs include: Mikey’s Kids – The Mikey At Home Program, Mikey On Board, The Mikey’s Young At Heart School Defibrillator Program, Mikey On the GO, Mikey Cops Are Tops.

GREEN APARTMENT
SHOPPING
How to find a building with an environmentally responsible property manager b y Te d Whi T ehead Over the past few years, protecting the environment has attracted a phenomenal amount of media coverage and concern across industries, including the multi-residential apartment industry. There is a continually growing trend in Ontario amongst both property managers and tenants to become more eco-friendly in their day-to-day living, and this focused attention to environmental responsibility is very refreshing. The property manager is responsible for nurturing this shared mindset in the building – and environmentally conscientious apartment shoppers can ask specific questions to find out just how “Green” a building is. For example, ask whether the building manager has a plan in place for promoting energy efficiency and proper waste disposal, and whether they lead by example. When tenants move in, is there any kind of package or document that outlines waste management and recycling procedures in the building? Are there blue box recycling containers in user-friendly areas of the building for tenants’ use? Is the property manager well versed on the environmental programs in place in their municipality? Landlords and property managers should actively promote conservation and energy awareness to staff and tenants as a community initiative, and can inform tenants of special events such as Earth Week and Waste Reduction Week. Water conservation is another area where apartment building owners can make an effort. If it is time to replace appliances in the apartment kitchens or washers and dryers in laundry rooms, consider Energy Star rated choices that use far less energy. Low-water capacity flush toilets and water-saving showerheads are examples of fixtures to turn to when existing units need to be replaced.
Most apartment tenants are happy to comply with waste disposal practices, as long as they know what is expected of them. Again, in a building that is run in a professional manner, this kind of information is generally provided upon move-in. Property managers and landlords should let tenants know what constitutes refuse and disposal items that can be placed in the wheeled carts or front-end containers that are emptied regularly by the municipality. When you consider how many people live and work in apartment buildings, the potential to take steps individually and collectively toward Green practices can have a substantial impact on reducing the carbon footprint of the buildings. A simple small thing, like switching off all the lights in your apartment home every time you leave it can have a big impact. As you search for the perfect building, keep the colour Green in mind and ask questions before you make your move. For more information on how to enhance the quality of life in apartment buildings, visit www.frpo.org, the site of the Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario, and www.crbprogram.org, where you can learn about the Certified Rental Building Program that can help you find reliable, well-run choices in your area.
Ted Whitehead is Director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program, Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO).

Decorating
your rental space Here are some tips for renters from rental guru Jodi Gilmour
❖
When decorating small spaces, you don’t necessarily have to go with pint-sized furniture. Just pare down the number of pieces.
❖
Make sure there’s balance and create interest by drawing the eye to varying levels throughout the space. Multi-purpose pieces go a long way.
❖
One of the quickest ways to change the look of a rental, aside from paint, is to change the lighting. Invest in new light fixtures and take them with you when you leave.
❖
When decorating on a budget, try to look at old items in a new way. A desk can become a buffet table, and who knows ,maybe an old door would make a great headboard!
❖
Never underestimate the power of a coat of paint! Paint a tree stump in a bold hue to create a cool side table or stool.
❖
Walk through a second-hand store with a mind to breathe new life into an old piece of furniture; try using two tones of your favourite colour.
❖
To create a gallery wall you have to start with a commitment; your frames should either match, but vary in size or they can be mismatched but uniform in size. Oh, and make a choice; black and white or colour for the entire collection.
❖
Collections are a starting point for your accent pieces and carry themes on in other ways. If you collect bird figurines, find a ‘birdie’ pillow to complete the look.
❖
We improved a kitchen for a budding chef by capping inexpensive bookshelves with a slab of granite we found in the sale section at one of our suppliers. Instant island! Widely recognized for her professionalism, resources, and winning charm, Jodi helped many into new rentals when she hosted HGTV’s hit series For Rent. She was also a featured contributor on Marriage Under Construction. Her experience managing one of Canada’s largest and most successful RE/MAX franchises sets her apart from the competition. Jodi’s says she’s committed to improving their quality of life.

The Ins and OuTs
of Subletting By Jane Herman
L
ife happens. Plans change. Sometimes an opportunity comes knocking – one that you can’t turn down. One that will take you away from home for an extended but not permanent stay. On first glance the options can seem like a rock and a hard place have come to visit with your lucky happenstance. Either give up your home and pack it all into storage while you go away, and then face finding a new place when you return, or pay rent for an apartment to sit empty while you are gone. The former is a lot of upheaval, especially tricky if you are under lease and are obligated for many more months. The later seems like a huge waste of money, and may not make sense or even be feasible financially.
renters’help
Subletting may be an ideal option. Just as you may need to leave temporarily, there are plenty of people that need a shortterm place to stay. Whether they’re moving here and need a landing spot until they find more permanent accommodations, are renovating and need to vacate their homes for a limited period of time, or are just here, as in your situation, for an extended but not permanent stay, it’s just a matter of finding someone with comparable needs and making arrangements for them to live in your apartment and take over the financial responsibilities. While it can be a great arrangement, technically, you continue to be responsible for your lease even if you are not living in the apartment. Subletting has a legal aspect to it. Subletting means that a tenant moves out of his or her unit for a specific period of time, but plans to move back into the unit before the end of the tenancy. The person who moves into the unit is known as a “subtenant.”The subtenant is responsible for paying the rent to the original tenant who continues to pay rent directly to the landlord, and is responsible for complying with everything in the lease. If you’re planning to leave your unit for an extended period of time but want to return to it, you must ask your landlord’s permission to sublet the unit. You must inform the landlord when you are leaving and when you will be returning. your landlord cannot refuse the idea of subletting a unit, but they can refuse a specific person if they believe the person is unsuitable. If you need or want to sublet your apartment, you, and not your landlord, are responsible for finding someone to pay your rent while you are temporarily away. It’s best to advise your landlord of your intentions, and provide all necessary details such as the subtenant’s name, phone number, place of employment, etc. The landlord may need to contact the subtenant and/or enter the apartment in case of an emergency. Subletting is often confused with “Assigning a Unit.” assigning a Unit means that the tenant moves out of the unit permanently and transfers their lease to another person. all aspects of the lease stay the same for the replacement tenant. This is the option that you may choose if you have an opportunity that will take you away from your apartment permanently, but you are still under obligation to your landlord for the remaining duration of your lease. What if you receive a job offer in another city, or you have to leave your job to care for a sick parent or child on the other side of the country and have to suddenly give up your apartment and end your lease early. If such circumstances do arise, it would be best to notify your landlord as soon as possible. They may have someone who could be looking for an apartment in the building and would be able to take over your apartment. If not, the situation is similar to a sublet: you would have to get the landlord’s permission to Assign the tenancy, and it would
be your responsibility to try to find someone to take over the lease. You are responsible for paying your rent and maintaining your commitment to your landlord until a suitable tenant to replace you has been found. The landlord has the right to refuse to let this person become a new tenant, but must have a good reason for doing so. It’s possible that the landlord might refuse the idea of the Assignment or might not respond to your request to do so. If your get a refusal or no answer within seven days of your request, you are then permitted, under the Residential Tenancies Act, to give your notice of termination with an N9 Form instead of assigning your lease, and do not have to fulfill the remainder of your lease term. Your landlord may simply prefer to start a fresh lease with a new applicant instead. For further details of the intricacies of subletting or assigning, and what obligations you have and what actions both you and your landlord can take visit the Landlord and Tenant Board website (www.ltb.gov.on.ca).

T
he average rental apartment vacancy rate in Canada’s 35 major centres1 increased to 2.6 per cent in October 2012, from 2.2 per cent in October 2011, according to the fall Rental Market Survey2 released recently by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). “Lower levels of household formation among young adults reduced rental housing demand,” said Mathieu Laberge, deputy chief economist at CMHC’s Market Analysis Centre. “This, combined with an increase in the supply of newly constructed, purpose-built rental apartments, pushed Canada’s vacancy rate upward. Meanwhile, demand for rental condominium apartments remained strong, with the vacancy rate holding steady in most of Canada’s largest urban centres, including Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.” The results of CMHC’s fall survey reveal that, in October 2012, the major centres with the lowest vacancy rates in the primary apartment rental market were in Regina (1.0 per cent), Thunder Bay (1.1 per cent) and Calgary (1.3 per cent). The centres with the highest vacancy rates were in Saint John (9.7 per cent), Windsor (7.3 per cent) and Moncton (6.7 per cent). Overall, the average rent for twobedroom apartments in existing structures across Canada’s 35 major centres increased 2.2 per cent between October 2011 and October 2012, the same pace of rent increase that was recorded between October 2010 and October 2011. The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in new and existing structures was $901 in October 20123. The highest average monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments in new and existing structures in Canada’s major centres were in Vancouver ($1,261), Toronto ($1,183) and Calgary ($1,150).
The lowest average monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments in new and existing structures were in Saguenay ($549), Trois-Rivières ($550) and Sherbrooke ($578). CMHC’s October 2012 Rental Market Survey also covers condominium apartments offered for rent in 11 large urban centres, including Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Rental condominium vacancy rates ranged from a high of 3.2 per cent in Ottawa to a low of 0.9 per cent in Saskatoon, holding steady in most centres from October 2011. Average monthly rents for two-bedroom condominium apartments were highest in Vancouver ($1,662) and lowest in Québec ($1,022). 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. For more information visit CMHC.ca. and follow CMHC on Twitter @CMHC_ca 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). 1
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. 2
The fall survey covers apartment and row structures containing at least three rental units and, unlike the spring survey, reports information on: a) Smaller geographic zones within centres; b) Secondary rental market (rented condominium apartments, single detached, semi-detached, duplexes or accessory apartments). Year-over-year comparisons of average rents can be slightly misleading because rents in newly built structures tend to be higher than in existing buildings. Excluding new structures and focusing on structures existing in both the October 2011 and October 2012 surveys provides a better indication of actual rent increases paid by tenants. 3
