ADVICE | RENTAL PRO

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

1 AND 2 BEDROOM SUITES AVAILABLE

LAURALEE APARTMENTS

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.

For more about renting a home, call 1.800.668.2642 or visit CMHC.ca.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

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

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.

rom punchy pinks to crimson reds, rosy tones are making their mark as go-to statement shades that work all year round. Often seen as seasonal, the pink and fuchsia hues that were the stars of 2022 have made their way into the home as more permanent fixtures, adding bursts of energy to interiors and complementing the maximalist trend in home decor. These feel good shades have the staying power to take us beyond spring and summer, while also igniting demand for more rich tones within this vibrant colour family.

Crimson influenced shades, like Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year - Viva Magenta, highlight the versatility and joyful presence blushing shades bring to our homes.

Described by the Pantone Color Institute™ as “a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength”, Viva Magenta makes a captivating case for becoming the must-have colour for interior spaces this year.

Introducing these all-eyes-on-me shades into your home can feel a little daunting, but with some planning, the final look is sure to be the stylish update you never knew you needed. With spring just around the corner, this is the perfect time to bring life to a bare wall with a fresh coat of magenta-inspired paint or wall-paper feature – adding a statement sofa or accent chairs in this colour palette will also enhance the la vie en rose energy in your home. If you’re not ready to make a big investment, try swapping your pillows and throws for a new set that feature these energetic shades. And, don’t forget to complete your style edit with decorative accessories in similar tones (a vase filled with vibrant pink and crimson blooms is highly recommended).

JANE HERMAN

No matter how large or small your apartment is, make your space as comfortable and as welcoming as you can. Your home should be your refuge, a place where you can relax and unwind, and enjoy returning to at the end of the day. Enjoy having that haven all to yourself without someone else putting their influence on your space, or making messes or changes that put you out of sorts.

EstAblIsh gooD hAbIts from DAy onE

Hang up your coat when you come home, even if it’s only on a hook you’ve affixed to your hall wall; take out the garbage and recycling every time you go out; put your clothes away and keep your things reasonably tidy; do your dishes and laundry on a regular basis; clean the apartment and change the bathroom towels once a week. A houseplant or two and some fresh flowers will give you a refreshing lift.

Initially you may find living along to be fun and exciting. You can set the temperature to your preference, rather than someone else’s; arrange the furniture however you like, monopolize the bathroom without feeling guilty, listen to whatever music you like and indulge your preference for vegetarian food over meat.

But there’s also the potential to become lonely and bored when living alone.

Volunteer for an organization or cause you feel strongly about. You will meet people who share your interests and concerns and really make a difference in the world, even if in a small way. And, you are less likely to feel lonely and sorry for yourself when you are helping others. Enjoy the freedom you have to be alone in your apartment to the fullest. One day, you may find yourself sharing your space with someone else.
