EDITORS’ NOTES

i

f you’re a regular reader of Renters Guide, you know we offer a variety of information for those looking for a new place to call home.

But did you know it is your responsibility as a tenant to know your rights and responsibilities prior to signing a lease agreement?

By knowing the terms of the rental contract ahead of time, you will be well informed and able to determine if the location is the right one for you.

Once you choose your location, a landlord should give you adequate written notice when rent or landlord services have been adjusted, and you should be able to discuss any clarifications or adjustments before a new lease is signed.

Many landlords and property management companies do their jobs well and care about the property they own as well as the people who live there.

It is in their best interest to keep good tenants. Many go above and beyond.

Do you know a terrific landlord or property management team? What makes him or her so great? Let us know. We’d love to hear from you!

w

hat does the fire alarm sound like? What do you do if your carbon monoxide (CO) detector sounds off? Are they both working properly? Do you know where the flashlights are?

Emergencies are rare, but it’s good to be prepared and have the basics at the ready – just in case. While it’s not likely, the last thing you want to do is be woken up by an alarm and be bewildered and confused.

There are a few simple things you can do to make sure you’re prepared for any emergency. Go over a plan with your household. Know what your alarms sound like. If your fire alarm or CO detector goes off, you’ll need to assess whether it’s a false alarm quite quickly, and from there evacuate and call 911.

When in doubt, err on the side of caution. CO is odourless and colourless. You can’t actually tell if it’s a false alarm or not so get help just to be on the safe side. Ignoring it or removing the batteries can be a deadly mistake. Your landlord is required to have a working fire alarm and CO detector in every unit, but you should make sure they’re functioning properly.

Have a working flashlight available – one for each person is preferable. Be familiar with your escape route. Keep valuables or irreplaceables in a backpack that can easily be taken with. You won’t have time to pack or get dressed so have shoes, clothes and a jacket accessible since you may not be allowed back in for some time – from hours to days in a true emergency.

Home safe home awaits! With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that 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!

Security

is everyone’s business

By Jane He rman

G

enerally, it’s the building owner and management who are responsible for the security of your building. The Residential Tenancies Act notes that the building’s windows, doors, locks and lighting must be in a good state of repair. The safety of your neighbourhood can also have a significant impact on your building’s security. However, residents can also help to ensure that the building is safe and secure. Be alert and help to prevent dangerous situations before they occur.

Residents have a right to expect reasonable protection, both inside their apartments as well as in common areas such as parking garages and elevators. This includes proper lighting in lobbies, corridors

and laundry facilities, and deadbolt locks on doors and window locks.

Responsible landlords maintain and fix security problems, such as burnedout lights, and deal with complaints about suspicious activities or broken security items. Check out the condition of security features when apartment hunting and after you move in. If you notice that any of your building’s safety features are broken or malfunctioning, report them immediately to the management.

One of the most important ways to help keep your building safe is to restrict and prevent access to the building by persons who are not authorized to be there. This can create serious potential security risks. Do not be afraid to question someone who is waiting for you to buzz them in.

Burglars have been known to pose as delivery people to gain entry.

Though the convenience may make it tempting, you should never make a key for friends or family members, or give out your building access code or card to anyone who does not lawfully reside in the building. Relationships change, friends come and go – there’s no need for someone with whom you are no longer involved with to have access to your home, raising safety concerns for both you and other residents in the building.

If you have any concerns or notice anything suspicious, be sure to contact the appropriate person as soon as possible, be it the superintendent, building management, or even the police.

or security personnel who knock on your door unannounced.

a ladder to steal them. Conceal and store items you cannot store inside.

» Report any security concerns or problems to the building manager

» If you live near the ground and you like to open your windows, make sure they do not open wide enough to let someone through.

» Do not disable security features.

Safety latches on windows keep intruders out – and children in.

» Keep your door locked at all times, even when you are in your apartment.

Remember to lock you apartment

Thanks to modern technology, security systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Security pass cards and innovative key fob passes are issued to residents in many buildings.

These can be enabled and disabled remotely by the administration, thus limiting building access to tenants

» Do not prop exit doors open.

These are designed to stay closed for security and fire safety.

when you step out to do something in the building, like transfer your laundry, get the mail or take out the recycling.

» Do not hold the door for a stranger to enter. Be wary of strangers who linger around the front door and dash to hold the door open after it has been unlocked.

» Keep your balcony doors locked at all times. If they are not equipped with a good deadbolt lock, make sure to keep a sturdy bar in the door’s track to prevent it from opening.

To help keep your building safe and secure, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation recommends that you:

» Do not give your apartment keys or passcards to strangers or tell strangers the access codes to the building or amenities like the pool, gym, underground garage or other entrance. » Do not let anyone in to do work in your apartment unless you, the landlord or building manager has previously arranged for the work.

Likewise, beware of tradespeople

» Do not leave bicycles or other personal items on your balcony, especially if you are on a ground or low floor – thieves can easily climb

who presently reside in the building.

Security cameras are commonplace, but in many buildings residents can see who they are buzzing in on a designated channel in their own apartment. But sometimes just oldfashioned precautions, awareness of one’s surroundings, and consideration for others in the community can also help to be effective in creating a safe and secure living environment.

How to prepare

for the unexpected when moving

by Dan Hopkins

M

oving your worldly possessions involves a lot of organization, and if there’s one thing professional movers understand, it’s to expect the unexpected. In fact, that’s a major reason why many people choose to hand over the task of moving to companies that do this every day.

Some do-it-yourself moves go well; others end up unnecessarily stressful because those completing the work don’t anticipate potential glitches. Checklists are great, but every single move is different – and nothing beats experience for transferring household goods quickly, safely and efficiently.

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 like lamp shades and glassware to eliminate shifting and potential breakage during a long haul? What if the truck breaks down or gets into an accident halfway to your new home?

Professional movers have resources to draw upon to anticipate and handle any number of unexpected happenings. 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 as prepared as possible when the packing/moving begins.

All of these considerations and more are covered in the training that Two Men and a Truck franchisees take part in at what we call “Stick Men University” (in honour of the company logo). Among the many things they learn is how to maneuver, wrap, pack and load items ranging from big-screen televisions to china cabinets filled with breakables.

If you do decide to move yourself, on the Two Men and a Truck website we provide moving tips, a moving checklist and even special things to consider for extremely large items. Give some thought to what might happen along the way and make contingency plans. And be realistic – hiring a professional mover can offer tremendous peace of mind and is money well spent.

As tempting as a DIY move may be, think through the consequences. Are you prepared to deal with the possibility of friends or family members not showing up on moving day due to illness or hurting themselves trying to move heavy items?

Do you have a back-up plan for extra items in case you misjudge the size of moving vehicle you need? What about plants? Hazardous liquids?

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 think you’ll save by not hiring a professional mover may end up being spent on repairs if these large and valuable pieces are not handled correctly. Worse yet, irreplaceable items may be lost forever.

And have you thought through unpacking at the other end? On your first night there, you will need bedding, toiletries, towels and some kitchen items. Do you have a plan that includes being able to find those things easily and quickly?

Finding the perfect

APARTMENT F

By Bonnie Hoy, Bonnie Hoy & Associates

inding the perfect apartment is no easy task. It’s more difficult than even purchasing a car because it’s not one-stop shopping. Studies show that in Canada the average female between 25 and 40 earning $50,000 or more per year looks at seven properties before she makes a decision where to live.

Alternatively, men in the same age category look at three. Here are a few things you should consider when trying to find that perfect apartment:

First, sunlight (or the lack thereof) is important, but most people don’t think about it until after they’ve moved in.

Typically, we find that shift workers like to face north. The less sun the better and north is the direction to have your bedroom windows if you want the least amount of sunlight. In turn, if you’re an early riser you most likely want your bedroom and living room windows facing east so you get that “hit” of sunshine every morning. If you have lots of plants or if you need lots of sun in your day, you should be facing south.

And finally, facing west is often popular for people who get home from work in the early afternoon.

Cooking and lounging while basking in sunshine is a plus for a lot of people. Sun is a huge consideration that most people don’t think about until it’s missing at those times when they want or need it.

Lack of sun has been known to cause depression, yet we rarely think about it when renting apartments. It seems to be one of those things we take for granted.

The second thing people need to focus on when looking for an apartment is the neighbourhood. It doesn’t matter if you have the greatest space in the world when you have to walk 10 blocks to get a litre of milk and you don’t drive. Let’s face it, the living room space in most apartments comes in one of two shapes, rectangular or L-shaped; therefore, it’s not the apartment that makes the difference, it’s the neighbourhood. Make sure that if you like to run you’re near jogging trails. If you don’t have a car, make sure that your new apartment is close to a bus stop. You get the idea.

The last thing we notice when people are looking for apartments is that they often make their decision based on a short-term mindset. We recognize that people move a lot more often than they did in the past, but we can also tell you that it’s next to impossible to save if

you move every year. If at all possible, we strongly recommend you choose a rental where you plan to stay for at least three years. Pick a place that gives you some room to grow. Did you know that the average resident accumulates about 10 per cent in possessions annually? If that’s the case, you need somewhere to store this accumulation – hopefully without having to move. As Canadians we want to be able to save something.

Staying put is one of the ways to do it.

Happy renting!
