APARTMENT SAFETY AND SECURITY TIPS BONNIE HOY

If there is one lesson every landlord wants residents to remember is to not let strangers into the building. Don’t open the front door for people you don’t know, don’t answer the intercom or Enterphone to unlock the lobby door. Notify your superintendent when you see canvassers going door-to-door.

You can never be too cautious.

We recommend that residents lock their doors even when they’re inside their apartment.

It’s too easy for people to just

walk right in. It is amazing how many people walk into an apartment because they got off on the wrong floor or simply because they weren’t paying attention. It can be an innocent enough mistake but it can also be awkward and embarrassing.

Stop newspaper delivery when you’re going away for even a few days. Nothing says ‘noone’s home’ louder than a pile of newspapers sitting outside the door.

Another thing to consider is tenants’ insurance, which generally costs about $250 per year. The landlord’s insurance doesn’t cover the contents of a unit, only the floors and walls – basically the shell of your suite.

They are not responsible for your personal effects. Many landlords make having tenants’ insurance a requirement for signing a lease, but some residents choose to ignore it. Keep in mind if you cause a flood or a fire, then you could be held responsible for all resulting damage including any to the walls and floors. What’s $250 when you’re talking about peace of mind? Happy renting!

The psyChology of mEss liTTle adjusTmenTs To rEduCE thE CluttEr

hellen buTTigieg

We all have spots that are magnets for clutter, usually because they provide a convenient, empty flat surface to pile things on. Walk around your home to determine where the clutter hot spots are, then remove the clutter (toss it in a box or laundry basket for now) and put something beautiful in its place, like a vase or a sculpture. If it’s the dining room table, set it as if you were having a dinner party.

This will deter you from using it as a drop zone.

Keep your pantry DecluttereD

Most people can’t resist buying items that are on sale. But when it comes to food, buying too much and neglecting to use it before the expiry date will cost you more in the long run. It’s easy to forget what you have on hand when things build up. Whether you keep your food in the kitchen cupboards or a large pantry, keeping these areas streamlined and organized will save you time, money and frustration. Before going grocery shopping, take an inventory of everything you have and plan the meals for the upcoming week with an eye toward incorporating these items.

Once you’ve used up the excess, 8 Renters Guide | July 3–17, 2020

get in the habit of planning your weekly meals in advance. You will avoid over-buying and will always know what’s for dinner. purchase furniture that Does Double-Duty

Consider purchasing a few multifunctional furnishings such as an upholstered ottoman that not only provides a place to put your feet up, but also offers additional seating, doubles as a coffee table and opens up to reveal hidden storage. create an in/out zone

Set up a small container for each family member on a table or a small bookcase by the door as a place to hold keys and wallets. It can also act as a landing spot for briefcases and backpacks. In addition to providing a home for those items when you walk in the door, it also gives you a consistent spot to place things you’ll need to take with you when you go out again. are you being helD hostage by your stuff?

If you are reluctant to get rid of certain items because they were expensive, think about how much it’s costing you to keep them.

The more possessions you have, the more time it takes to care for them and the more space it takes to store them. Although it may be difficult to let go of things that no longer serve you, the payoff is well worth it: You’ll have more free time

in your day and be more relaxed in your home. feeling stucK

If you find yourself backsliding when it comes to maintaining your organizing systems, don’t berate yourself, as this will sap your energy and prevent you from doing anything about it. Rather than dwelling on what went wrong, focus instead on what needs to be done. Just say “oops” and move on to take action.

6 WAYS TO USE

BAMBOO

by SARA DUCK

Knixhult pendant lamp in bamboo. $50. Ikea.ca

Are you looking to create more of a “green” home? Small steps such as considering the materials that are used in your decor and wardrobe purchases can have a big impact on the environment and your well-being.

Bamboo-based furniture and clothing have been gaining in popularity these environmentally conscious days because of its sustainability as one of the world’s fastest growing raw materials. Its production into fibres has very low environmental impact, it produces twice as much oxygen than other trees and it’s grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Here are six simple ways to introduce this natural trend into your living space.

ADVICE | APARTMENTALITY

RENTING VERSUS OWNING FIVE REASONS RENTING IS BETTER ANNE MARSHALL

3. ACCESS TO AMENITIES.

Here are five good reasons why renting is preferable to owning.

1. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.

Shovelling snow, raking autumn leaves, mowing the lawn – outdoor tasks are your landlord, superintendent or management company’s responsibility, unless your lease dictates otherwise.

2. FIXTURE REPAIR. If your

shower stops running properly, it’s your landlord’s responsibility to call and pay for a plumber.

Pools, gyms, party rooms and libraries are all fairly common features of upscale modern apartment buildings. In addition, high-density housing is often situated in the heart of the city, close to entertainment and shopping.

4. CHEAPER INSURANCE.

Unlike homeowners, renters do not have to insure the property – only the contents.

When you get your renters’ insurance, expect to be paying approximately half of what you would if you owned your home.

5. LOWER UTILITY COSTS. Heating

(or cooling) a larger space than that which you actually occupy is one of the downsides of home ownership. Rental units have more compact floorplans, and in the winter you may even benefit from ambient heat from the apartments around you.

Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up.

ADVICE | RENTAL HELP

CLEANING TIPS FROM

MOLLY MAID 1 SIMPLIFY YOUR CLEANING PRODUCTS

Limit cleaning products to a quality window/glass cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, tile/grout cleaner and a toilet bowl cleaner.

2 THE MOLLY MAID SYSTEM

Clean each room from the top to bottom starting on the left and moving right. This really is the quickest and most efficient way to thoroughly clean your home.

3 DUST FIRST, VACUUM SECOND

Any bits of dust or dirt that fall to the floor as you’re dusting will be picked up by the vacuum cleaner.

4 PET HAIR

7 DE-SCALE THE KETTLE

Remove it from upholstery with a damp microfibre cloth or rubber glove.

Fill the kettle half-and-half with white vinegar and water and leave it to soak overnight. Using an old toothbrush, dislodge any stubborn bits of lime scale. Rinse out thoroughly a couple of times and then boil some water to eliminate any odour of vinegar.

5 MICROWAVE SPATTERS

Fill a cup with water and microwave on high for a few minutes. The steam will loosen any baked on food so you can easily wipe it clean.

Use a toothbrush for hard-toreach areas in the bathroom and kitchen (for example, around the soap holder, taps and drain).

6 DISH CLOTHS AND SPONGES

These are germ incubators.

Wash dish cloths regularly, and microwave damp sponges on high for several minutes to kill bacteria.

ADVICE | MOVING

PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED CHUCK RESNICK Moving your worldly possessions involves a lot of organization, so it’s smart to expect the unexpected. Some DIY moves go well; others end up stressful because those doing the work don’t anticipate potential glitches.

For example, if you move in the winter and it’s a snowy, slushy day, how do you protect the floors from water/salt damage at both ends? What about getting large items around hard-to-maneuver corners without marking walls?

What if someone gets hurt? Do

you know how to pack delicate items? What if the truck breaks down or gets into an accident halfway to your new home?

Training is a great preventative measure – when you shop for a mover, find out if and how the drivers and moving people are trained. Ask whether they have a “Plan B” in case of vehicle problems, and what you can do to be prepared as possible when the packing/moving begins.

Of course, there are specialty items that require an unusual level of care – pianos, pool tables, grandfather clocks, artwork, antiques and the like. The money you may save by not hiring a professional mover may end up being spent on repairs if these

2 BeDrooM, 2 BaThrooM sUITe aVaIlaBle

large and valuable pieces are not handled correctly. Irreplaceable items may be lost forever.

If you decide to move yourself, give some thought to what might happen along the way and make contingency plans. Be realistic – hiring a professional mover can offer tremendous peace of mind and is money well spent.

TRENDING | CONTAINER GARDENING

Contain your creativity Make the Most of limited baCkyard spaCe with Container gardening

by Patricia Johnson Summers are fleeting here in our Northern part of the world, gone in the blink of an eye, so we want to make the most of that time, relaxing, dining and entertaining in our outdoor spaces. And 32 Renters Guide | July 3–17, 2020

we want to make these spaces more attractive and inviting with comfortable furniture, interesting art and pots overflowing with plants. Container gardening has grown far beyond plastic pots

filled with old standbys such as spikes and petunias and into the realm of the exotic, an art in itself, an expression of creativity, painting with plants and sculpturing with foliage. No yard, no problem,

a balcony will do, containers allow you to maximize the use of space with hanging baskets, wall pots, window boxes or by vertical gardening using vines on trellises. Large space or small, creative containers can fill that empty space, add a punch of colour, provide a focal point and soften the look of walls or fences.

And they’re portable (the smaller, lighter ones anyhow) and can be moved to the safety of indoors to avoid being pummelled by hail or wiped out by frost. No need for weeding or cultivating, just watering, fertilizing and removing dead blooms. And sitting in that comfortable outdoor furniture,

beverage in hand and admiring them of course.

The style and selection of containers available today is boggling but don’t be afraid to think outside of the (planter) box and use whatever strikes your fancy, if it holds soil it can be planted. Drainage is important though, if there’s not already drainage holes in the bottom then you should drill some to allow the excess water to flow through.

Choose colours and styles that compliment your house and garden and group different sizes and shapes of containers together using similar plants and colour schemes in each to visually tie them together.

As for the soil, although you might be tempted to use soil dug from your garden in containers, don’t, it’s heavy, doesn’t drain well and possibly contains insects or diseases, instead buy good quality potting soil. Don’t fill containers too full, instead allow 5 – 10 cm from lip of rim to top of mixture to allow room for watering.

Now comes the fun part, planting. Consider where you are planning to situate the pots and plant accordingly, all of the sun-worshippers together, the shade-lovers for a darker corner.

Combine different sizes, colours and textures together in pleasing combinations. The tried and true formula for successful container planting involves three main elements – the Thriller (a tall focal point plant in the middle of pot if viewed from all sides, towards the back if viewed from one side), Fillers (various sizes and shapes of plants, foliage and flowering, to fill in around the focal point), and the Spillers (trailing plants which cascade over the edge and soften the look of the pot). Cram in lots of plants for a full, lush container.

Contrast fine texture with coarse, use colours opposite each other on the colour wheel for a pleasant

jolt. Although in the past gardeners here tended to use strictly annuals, that has changed. Mix in perennials, then move them to a permanent home in your flower beds in the fall. Use tropicals to transform your outdoor space into an exotic get away with vibrant hibiscus and gently waving palms.

These can be brought indoors in the winter, although it will take some adaptation to the reduction in light. Provide not only a feast for the eyes but a literal feast for the table by mixing vegetables in with flowers or devoting entire containers to edible plantings.

Hang upside-down tomatoes, plant swiss chard to complement some flowers, have zucchini climbing up a balcony railing, plant a small herb garden. Root crops such as carrots and potatoes can be planted in containers as long as they are deep enough. Full sun is needed to grow all vegetables, ideally 6 to 8 hours a day.

Containers require more frequent watering and fertilizing than plants in the ground, hanging baskets especially need to be watered daily or even twice daily in hot weather. Mix slow release fertilizer in with soil before you plant, use a diluted solution of a balanced fertilizer such as 20-20-20, or if you choose the organic alternative use compost tea or diluted seaweed or fish fertilizer.

Contain your creativity, and you can eat it too! nexthome.ca 33

ADVICE | RENTERS’ HELP

CHILDPROOFING CHALLENGES

by KIM CARLTON Having a baby is an exciting, but a nerve-wracking experience. Here are some strategies to help you keep your home safe and sound.

• Make sure your electrical outlets are covered. There are many kinds of outlet covers – choose the one that is right for you.

• Confirm that you have reliable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure that the batteries are working.

• Use doorknob covers on doors to non-childproofed areas (like the bathrooms and laundry room). Baby gates are also an effective solution for keeping kids in or out of a room.

• Don’t use toys or pillows in the crib, especially with young babies — your baby could suffocate.

Never use an electric blanket for a child (could cause a fire).

• Never leave a child unattended in the bathtub. Drowning can occur in seconds, and mere inches of water pose a risk.

• Make sure your bathtub has a non-skid mat or pads to avoid slips. You can use a baby tub inside the bathtub — one with baby slings are especially helpful with infants.

• Lock up all medications, alcoholic beverages, chemicals and cleaning products. Make sure matches and lighters are out

of reach. Use cabinet locks to secure these items.

• Make sure cords for blinds are not tied together at the bottom (this is a strangulation hazard).

• Make sure knives and sharp items are in an area where kids can’t access them.

• Check toys for broken parts/ bits that are a choking hazard or sharp. Keep small toys for older children (like figurines, game board pieces and small building blocks) away from your baby.
