LUXURY, URBAN LIVING AT 300 ASSINIBOINE The breathtaking views from this grand gathering place will astonish and welcome you. The highrise building at 300 Assiniboine is a flagship for modern urban living, moored right along the Assiniboine River near the Forks, bordered by the river trail and Bonnycastle Park.

Reside in the heart of Winnipeg, still surrounded by greenspace and within walking distance to major shopping centres, transportation and attractions like museums, fine dining and nightlife. The Forks Market, the internationally known Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the historic Exchange District are all within reach, and 300 Assiniboine is a short distance to most downtown venues. The Assiniboine Riverwalk weaves with the waves right at the foot of the building. Travel back in time with the Oodena Celebration Circle, visit the urban garden, or take a water bus; the best of Winnipeg is right outside the door.

Anyone seeking to experience open-concept, luxury living will be impressed by all the building 14 Renters Guide | May 7–21, 2021

amenities, such as a fitness room for workouts around your schedule, a community room for group activities and festive occasions, furnished guest suites to accommodate visitors and premium underground parking.

Three centrally located elevators will efficiently move you to your destination, and extra storage lockers are available for out-ofseason belongings. For added security, the entrance next to the atrium in the main floor lobby has a security guard, and there is a 24hour interactive security system in place. For any other emergencies, a resident manager also resides on site.

Suites in this 25-storey building are available in one- and twobedroom designs, with or without a den. There are also townhouse layouts on the main level with separate access off Assiniboine Avenue. Each unit features its own in-suite laundry, plenty of storage, forced-air heating and cooling, and a spacious kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances. The

modern sleek designs are airy and light, with floor-to-ceiling windows to take advantage of sweeping river and city views. Tower unit sizes range between 932 and 2,088 sq. ft., offering many layout options to suit your family size. The townhouses are extremely comfortable, some encompassing two levels, with between 1,625 and 1,644 sq. ft. of space. Along with high-speed internet service and interactive security, suites also offer either a balcony or private terrace to take in the surrounding landscape and ambiance of the city. Imagine the refuge offered in the middle of a busy city, yet still accessible to all the necessities for work and play.

This bright beacon of light towers above the treeline like an emerald elm among prairie grass.

And like the luxury it represents, 300 Assiniboine is a home where community and career can come together, where paths and points of light converge; a place to be present at the top of the trees and observe all that is. 300 Assiniboine, a place for living.

The their book Remodelista: The Organized Home, Julie Carlson and Margot Guralnick promote better living through organization.

Here are six ways to implement organization into your life.

Buy fewer (and better) things.

Resist impulse and stop-gap purchases. Instead, zero in on quality.

Donate the stuff you don’t use.

That includes unwanted gifts. Let someone else put your castoffs to good use.

Borrow ideas from organizational masters.

Experts, such as hoteliers and shopkeepers, know how to come up with novel, affordable approaches to storage.

Ditch the plastic. Seek out products made of sustainable natural materials, such as wood, glass and ceramic.

Establish habits and routines that simplify your life. Always keep your keys and eyeglasses in designated spots.

Relax and make yourself at home. Too much enforced order is uninviting for occupants and guests alike; rooms are for living.

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 18 Renters Guide | May 7–21, 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.

26 Renters Guide | May 7–21, 2021

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.

Do you really nEEd rEntErs’ InsuranCE? of the contents in your unit in the case of a fire.

Jackie marchilDon Know what’s what when it comes to your landlord’s insurance versus your own.

If a fIre burns down your buIldIng: Property insurance: Your landlord’s

property insurance would pay for the demolition of the building (if necessary), as well the expenses to repair or rebuild it. Their insurance would not cover your personal belongings.

Versus Renters’ insurance: In most cases, renters’ insurance would cover all

If someone gets hurt In your home: Property insurance: If someone slips on a spill and is hurt in your home, your landlord’s insurance would not help if that person decided to sue you.

Versus Renters’ insurance: If you had liability coverage included in your renters’ insurance, it would protect you financially if you unintentionally caused bodily harm to someone in your home.

If someone breaks In and steals your stuff: Property insurance: The landlord’s

Without renters’ insurance, you’d be on the hook for replacing everything in this situation.

Versus Renters’ insurance: In most cases, your renters’ insurance policy covers your possessions and personal property if your apartment gets broken into.

Take a look around your place.

Isn’t it all worth paying a small monthly fee to protect?

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.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

WHEN IT COMES TO MOVING, IT’S

ALL ABOUT TIMING CHUCK RESNICK

When it comes to ensuring a successful move, timing is everything! So the first question to ask is, are you moving yourself, or will you hire movers? Be sure to book the moving company or truck at least a month ahead, if not more.

Next, are you going to do the packing or let the professionals do the job for you? If you are thinking DIY, start collecting/buying boxes and packing material.

Professional movers usually sell standard-sized boxes that are sturdy and easy to stack, as well as paper that can protect your items without leaving newsprint behind.

Finally, which of your belongings do you want/need to move? Why not purge all of those unnecessary items you don’t need?

The following is a handy reference for what to do when.

A MONTH BEFORE THE MOVE …

• De-clutter, pitch, give away, donate — whatever — but pare down your goods.

• Obtain change-of-address cards from the post office.

• Notify magazines, insurance companies, banks, credit card companies, schools, employers, etc. of your change of address.

• If you are moving to a new home or condo that includes appliances, ask for the owner’s manuals ahead of time.

40 Renters Guide | May 7–21, 2021

ONE TO TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE…

• Make a closet of items you will need to clean the place once furniture is moved (broom, dustpan, cleansers, etc.).

• Either start packing or make sure your mover begins. Label boxes as you pack with the contents and which room each will go into at your new digs. Write the destination room on the top and sides of each box.

• Schedule disconnects for utilities and phone, but make sure you still have the use of your phone line on moving day.

Arrange for hook-ups at the other end.

• Cancel newspapers and any companies you use for services.

• Send change-of-address cards.

THE DAY BEFORE THE MOVE…

• Clean out and dry the fridge and freezer.

• Get to a bank or bank machine

and take out enough cash to tide you over.

• Pack a last-minute essentials bag/box.

• Arrange for children and pets to be looked after elsewhere on moving day.

ON MOVING DAY…

• Double and triple check all rooms, closets, garage, basement, attic etc., to ensure that you have all of your things and the areas are left clean.

• Carry your own (family’s) valuables to the move and all other important documents.

ADVICE | REntAl tIps

Six tipS for rEntIng wIth pEts by marlene eiSner 1. Don’t wait until the last minute.

Begin looking for a pet-friendly rental property at least six to eight weeks before you need to move.

2. Be flexible. Look at a lot of different locations/ neighbourhoods and property types (apartment blocks, condo units, homes). This will improve your chances of finding a suitable place for you and your pet.

3. Introduce your pet to your new landlord. Invite your new landlord to your current home to show the animal has caused no problems there or ask if you can bring your pet to the

landlord’s home. You want to show that your dog is calm and well-behaved.

4. Don’t sneak your pet in without permission. This will only lead to future problems and the landlord can give you notice to move out.

5. Get written permission from the landlord. Ask them to add a clause to your tenancy agreement that says your pet is allowed to live there and any conditions set by the landlord.

As well, make sure that any “no pets” clauses are removed from the agreement. If you already have one pet and would like to get another, talk to your

landlord to make sure it’s okay.

6. Be prepared to pay a pet damage deposit. Your landlord can ask you to pay a pet damage deposit that can be up to one month’s rent. This is in addition to your security deposit and tenant services deposit (if applicable).

Take Time for yourself Put yourseLf out there

hellen buttigieg

Sometimes, we get so bogged down with all the things on our “to-do” list that we forget to take time for ourselves. Here are some tips to help simplify your life.

Life has a way of flowing effortlessly when we put ourselves out there.

If there’s something you’ve been wanting in your life, take one small action toward it and notice how other things fall into place. It could be a simple phone call you’ve been putting off, a book you’ve been meaning to read or a website you’ve wanted to visit. Do it now and have faith in the power of taking that first step.

Live in the moment.

We have become a society of multi-taskers, but in an effort to be more efficient, we have robbed ourselves of the pure pleasure that comes from performing simple tasks. Next time you wash dishes, fold laundry or set the table, focus only on the task at hand. Engage your senses. Notice the fresh smell of clean laundry, the rainbow colours in the soap bubbles, the beauty of a table set with care (candles, flowers and cloth napkins). You’ll feel less frazzled and more peaceful.

Let go of the “shouLds”

Next time you catch yourself thinking guilt-inducing thoughts like, “I should go to the gym” or “I have to wash the windows,” shift your perspective. Find a way to make the task more enjoyable so you can replace the “should” and “have to” with “like to,” “want to” or “could.” Re-framing your thoughts in this manner puts you in control because you are deciding to do the task out of desire, not criticism. Another option is to re-evaluate the task to see if it really is a necessity or if you can drop it from your “to-do” list altogether.

46 Renters Guide | May 7–21, 2021

tie uP Loose end

Regularly schedule one hour a week to devote to tying up loose ends. These little “to-dos” take less time to complete than you think and yet, left undone, eat away at you, draining your energy and clouding your mind. If you finish in less than an hour, use the extra time to reward yourself with a special indulgence. eLiminate cataLogue cLutter and enjoy mentaL freedom

Are catalogues piling up on every flat surface in your office? If you’ve had them for more than three months and still haven’t read them, it’s time to take an honest look at whether they are adding value or complicating your life. Go online and remove your name from catalogues you don’t read, and cancel magazine subscriptions that clutter your life, drain your energy and rob you of peace of mind. You can always purchase the odd magazine or two when you have some extra time to devote to reading. make biLL Paying easier by synchronizing due dates

Paying bills can be time consuming

and difficult to keep track of, especially if they are due at various times throughout the month.

Consider calling all your creditors and having the due dates on your monthly bills changed to either the 1st or the 15th of the month.

Put a reminder on your calendar to ensure that they’re paid on time.

Consolidating tasks saves time and mental energy. create kits to make Life easier

Items that are used together should be stored together to make tasks easier and save you time. Store all your car-wash supplies in one bin; your gardening supplies in another.

Imagine how much easier it will be to wrap gifts when your gift bags, cards, scissors, bows, tape and pen are all stored together.

How is your

elevator EtiquEttE? Jane Herman

You need to take the elevator in your apartment building every day, and there are some huge pet peeves that come along for the ride. Here’s an elevator etiquette refresher.

1. Exit thEn EntEr. Let passengers off before boarding the elevator.

2. whEn to takE thE stairs.

One flight up or two flights down – use the stairs when

5. BE nEighBourly. Generally,

able. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but it helps keep the flow on a busy elevator.

3. hold thE door! Your neighbours will remember you watching the doors close on them – and not in a good way. Hold the door for others who are running to catch the elevator.

4. kids. If they’re old enough, let them push the button, but don’t let your children play with the panel or light up all the floors like a Christmas tree. That’s no way to impress the neighbours or make friends.

the people on the elevator are your neighbours. There’s no need for awkward silence – but there’s also no need for awkward questions. Don’t confuse friendliness with nosiness.

Now, enjoy the ride!
