ADVICE | MOVING

RESEARCH MOVERS BEFORE YOU HIRE

CHUCK RESNICK Hiring the right moving company can save you lots of work, stress and headaches. However, you’ll want to be careful that the company you hire is above board and upholds strict standards. How can you tell? Do your research. Is the company a member of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM)? You can also contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and your provincial government’s consumer protection agency.

You can also: Ask three movers for estimates in writing; get the terms and conditions of your move in writing; ensure you know how your goods will be protected for loss or damage. Does the company have a minimum charge, and how are you charged after that minimum is met? Will you be charged for fuel or travel time to and from their office to your home? Will there be a fuel surcharge or a stairs or longdistance walk charge if they have to park the truck some distance from your door? Is there a deposit required, and what kinds of payment options are available? Do they offer free quotes? How do they arrive at a valuation that is

covered by insurance? It’s best for everyone involved to have a moving contract that outlines what is expected. Read it and ask questions about anything you don’t understand. Hiring a company you can trust makes for a more comfortable, less stressful and successful move.

ADVICE | RENTAL PRO

RENTING VERSUS OWNING FIVE REASONS RENTING IS BETTER ANNE MARSHALL

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.

5. LOWER UTILITY COSTS. Heating

3. ACCESS TO AMENITIES.

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.

(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 | ApArtmEntAlIty

CheCk rEfErEnCEs on a prospeCtive roomIE

kathryn kusyszyn Employers check references, landlords check references, and if you’re considering someone as a roommate, you should check their references, too. A person can seem charming initially, then later on turn into a nightmare. Do your homework and avoid such situations. Have a rental application form that’s appropriate for your province. It will cover all the bases. Discuss how they feel about overnight visitors, smoking, pets, sharing household chores and other mutual responsibilities. Ask

why they left their last place and how long they lived there. The application should ask for references from a current employer, a previous landlord and at least one previous roommate. By providing contact info, the prospective roommate is giving you permission to contact them. When calling an employer, state that you are verifying the potential roommate’s employment status and character, not doing an employment check. Ask previous landlords how long the person lived there, whether they paid their rent on time and why they left. Past roommates can be revealing. Ask how long they have known the person and how long they lived together. Ask what they liked and disliked about living with them and

why they went separate ways. If someone cannot provide any references or if none of their references are forthcoming, beware. You will be living with this person in close quarters and relying on them to fulfil their responsibilities. You need to have a reasonable comfort level with them. Be selective, and with some searching, you will find the right match. Kathryn Kusyszyn is a health and lifestyle consultant in Victoria BC. and is a long-time freelance writer. yogakat.ca

ADVICE | RENTERS’ ETIquETTE

Top 8 renter issues JAne HermAn Harmonious living is all about treating others with respect and consideration. Start by making a concerted effort by avoiding these ‘top eight renter issues.’ 1. Keep the noise down. Take off your high heels at the door, refrain from vacuuming, using power tools or hanging pictures at 10 p.m. 2. When in the elevator, hold it for a neighbour. Likewise, don’t hold it unnecessarily, like while you’re waiting for your spouse/ roommate to put their coat on,

lock the door, and walk all the way down the hall. 3. No Smoking. If smoking is not allowed in your building or on the floor, don’t do it. 4. Respect and maintain common areas as if they were an extension of your own home. 5. Ensure your pet is a good neighbour, too. Walk your pet regularly, and stoop’n’scoop. Also, make sure your pet doesn’t howl all day or bark all night. 6. Keep an eye on the time and on your laundry regularly. Don’t leave your stuff sitting in the washer or dryer after it has finished. 7. Remember to dress appropriately when taking out

trash, recycling, picking up mail, doing laundry or getting something from your car. 8. Respect your neighbours’ right to privacy. Be cognizant of and promptly report any crimes or suspicious persons in the building. Jane Herman is a communications consultant who has worked in the rental property industry. Jane provides communications solutions for a diverse range of clients and has written about food, fashion, apartment living and personal finance for several publications.

ADVICE | REntAl ADVICE

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.

ls eep tips 1. Make sure that the pillows you choose for your bed are conducive to your sleep style. For example, a flatter pillow if you sleep on your stomach, or a more supportive one for your neck if you sleep on your side.

Eclectic and tranquil 4

2. Unplugging 30-60 minutes before bed helps your brain set the stage for sleep, thereby enhancing your ability to fall asleep. If you can, make use of your phone’s “do not disturb” function for the night, which will allow for only VIP people in your life to call in case of an emergency. 3. Keep in mind that a cool bedroom is best, ideally in the mid-17s C up to 22 C maximum. It takes a bit of practice to figure out what temperature works best for you and anyone else in your house – a room that’s too warm at night makes it harder for your body to fall and stay asleep. drshelbyharris.com

I know what you are thinking. Brown? Really? I am here to tell you that it’s now time to banish those boring brown thoughts and focus on how this colour of yesterday can modernize your space today. Yes, it’s a classic decorating colour and one with a rich spectrum. From light almond and copper to a dark espresso bean colour, brown is versatile, striking and a fresh alternative to black, grey or navy. It’s a neutral hue that pairs well with a variety of bolder colours such as cobalt blue, olive green and pink (a la our front cover). Or if you prefer to keep your interiors simple, accents of cream and gold will do the trick. Have I won you over yet? Here are my top lifestyle finds in the bountiful variant of brown.

ADVICE | SAFETY TIPS

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

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!

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.

ADVICE | RENTERS’ HELP

LIVING BETTER BY LIVING SMALLER

KIMBERLY LEUNG

In the market for a new place? Chances are, you’re hoping to go up a couple sizes, and you’re already busy daydreaming about extra rooms, and wide, open spaces. But living smaller isn’t just for retirees. It can be a smart and economical decision, giving you the chance to save money, live closer to the things (or people) that matter, and be environmentally friendly. REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT.

Living in a larger unit often means using up more of the earth’s limited resources. More space requires more furniture, more electricity, more light... basically more of everything. You’ll also need to put in more of your already limited time and energy in keeping it clean. Try 52 Renters Guide | July 16–30, 2021

to think critically about how much space you actually need to live comfortably. Set a range and challenge yourself to pick close to the lower end. A studio apartment might be perfect for a young couple. For larger families, remember that young siblings can bunk together. The act of sharing a room encourages relationship building. SPEND LESS

Choosing less square footage can help your bottom line, and the benefits don’t stop at just a lower monthly rent. A conveniently located smaller unit could mean your twice weekly fill-ups are a thing of the past. Walking and biking to get around instead keeps you active - maybe you’ll be able to cancel that pricey gym membership. You might even learn to give up your shopaholic tendencies if you know you have no space at home to put your haul.

chic and functional and their large counterparts. After all, European homes tend to be smaller than North American ones, and no one would accuse them of living any less stylishly. Getting creative could be just the solution! A folding couch or futon can serve as a guest bed if you’re short on bedrooms. Ottomans and media units with hidden storage can hide anything from winter hats to cat toys. Light and airy pieces reduce visual weight and help create an open feeling in a smaller space. If you’re still stuck for ideas, don’t give up! Home decorating websites can be a great source of inspiration for living small.

CMHC AdviCe

sIx steps to finding a great rental Know your rental wants and needs before you start looking to simplify your search. CMHC offers some tips to help you find the right place to call “home.” 1. IdentIfy your rental needs: What’s your budget?

Which neighbourhood do you prefer? How many bedrooms? Make a list of your needs and preferences to help narrow down that great rental opportunity. 2. ask questIons: Have a list

of questions ready to ask the landlord. Is parking included in the rent? Utilities? Ask about the lease and terms. Be clear on any policies that may affect your lifestyle.

3. fIrst ImpressIons Count:

Make a good impression when you meet the landlord. Dress neatly and arrive on time. Bring your rental history and references, a current employment letter, and a cheque so you can leave a deposit in case you’re interested in taking the place. 4. take notes: If viewing several apartments, write down key features of each so you can compare later. 5. reVIew your lease: Rental agreements vary but generally include the names of the landlord and tenant, the address of the property, the amount of the rent, what is included in that cost, the rent payment due date, the deposit amount paid, the term of the

rental period, and details like who is responsible for upkeep. Ensure all this information is outlined. 6. take notes – agaIn: It’s

time to move in! Before you do, you and your landlord should inspect your new home together. Document all issues so you won’t be held liable for any pre-existing damage when you leave.
