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!

h

ave you been making the most of your rent? Have you been taking advantage of the lifestyle that your home offers? I’m talking about the amenities!

If you’ve got amenities, then you’re paying for them. You really should use and enjoy them. Consider them when making plans. A pool is a great feature, indoor pools are ideal all year long, and who can resist the summer sunshine on the pool’s terrace or outdoor pool’s deck? It’s the perfect way to spend a day off! If your building has a gym, why pay gym fees too? Besides, it’s easier to get into the routine when you don’t even have to leave home. That party room? Why not put it to use. From baby showers to birthday parties, it’s perfect for entertaining, so there’s no need to limit your guestlist. Why not simply throw a get-together or a dinner party – just because you can.

Some property management companies have done their best to gear amenities to the lifestyle of residents. There are family-friendly communities that offer playgrounds, studies and homework rooms – some even have the convenience of on-site daycare offered for a fee. There are communities that offer lifestyle, with amenities like virtual golf, a roof-top deck and barbecue facilities and still others with spa features like a yoga studio, saunas and whirlpools.

Don’t just rent, rent the ideal lifestyle – and then use those amenities!

You’ll find the perfect apartment – we’re here to help. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

HOW TO SAVE ON RENT:

Comparing a bachelor to a roommate

BY JANE HERMAN

Y

our rent is probably the biggest single expense you pay each month. A nice one-bedroom apartment can cost $1,000 per month or more, depending on the location. Is there a way you can creatively live within your means and still enjoy the comfort of your surroundings?

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

One good option is to consider a smaller apartment than you might have had in mind: for example, if you were initially thinking of a two bedroom, opt for a one bedroom. Or take a bachelor instead of a one bedroom.

If you’re living alone, a bachelor can be an excellent and affordable rental option. Bachelors tend to run about three-quarters of the cost of a one bedroom. A bachelor on the ground floor of a luxury building can offer the same benefits as it does to the tenant who lives in a larger apartment in the same building such as good location, professional management, attractive lobby, underground parking, laundry facilities, good closets, and upgraded suite with renovated kitchen and bathroom. And the best surprise of all is that the rent could be considerably less!

With some creative furnishing, you can arrange your apartment to serve as a comfortable sitting/eating/ living space by day, and sleeping suite by night. If your monthly rent is lower, you will have more money

5 tips for decorating

small spaces by lisa canning

Small SpaceS are more and more common,

and making these spaces work can be a challenge. With careful space planning and ingenious multi-functional products, you can have all the function and style in any square footage.

TIp #1: STarT WITH a rIGHT-SIZed SoFa The sofa is often a great place to start when planning a small space, as it usually takes up the most mass, and it is also the easiest piece to purchase incorrectly. A sofa that is too large in a given space can feel cumbersome.

Conversely, a sofa that is too small can feel like dollhouse furniture. Luckily, many retailers make it easier to make the right choice by carrying apartment-sized, or condo-appropriate pieces, which are often smaller-scale translations of their most popular lines. And of course, many apartment/condo-sized sofas can also be purchased with a sofa bed option to give you the flexibility of creating a guest room in your small space.

TIp #2: USe clear FUrnITUre What’s great about furniture made out of glass or acrylic is that it doesn’t take up much visual space. A ghost chair or a waterfall table will give you an instant modern update and provide great function while keeping the space feeling light. In spaces that have gorgeous large windows, place pieces that are clear directly in front, since they won’t obstruct the view.

TIp #3: Wall-moUnTed lIGHTInG A layered lighting plan is something I always recommend TheRentersGuide.ca to clients, but in a small space this approach is especially advantageous. Rather than opting for a floor lamp with mass, weight and that takes up floor area, sconces give you ambient lighting while saving space. I love the architectural detail sconces provide and often use them on either end of TheRentersGuide.ca a gallery wall or sofa.

photo by arnal photography

TIp #4: WorK WITH pIeceS THaT are mUlTIFUncTIonal In a space that might be too small for a home office, or a formal dining room, I have some great innovative products to share. The first is the Functional Coffee Table from BoConcept. At first glance, it looks like a sleek, minimal coffee table. But with an easy lift, it reveals a desk-height table and ample storage. Storage will always be an issue in small spaces, so anything that will serve a function and provide storage is a great addition. Another incredible product on the market is the Lacuna table by VNO Designs. This innovative product begins as a piece of customizable art on the wall. With the release of a latch, the art piece lowers to reveal a concealed leg and becomes a dining table for five. For people who don’t formally entertain often, or for those living in really limited space, this is a unique space-saving solution.

TIp #5: WorK WITH SmarT SToraGe SYSTemS Great interior storage is just as important as utilizing multi-functional storage. Drawer dividers, shelf dividers and small storage boxes are great tools to use to increase your storage space. The more levels you can create within a drawer, the more items can be stored and easily found.

I love using small stackable, acrylic storage compartments to divide my drawers. Style doesn’t stop at the exterior of a piece – allow your furniture to function at its best by investing in interior organization.

Packing up for a move:

BREAKING DOWN THE PROCESS

BY DAN HOPKINS

M

oving homes or offices can feel like an overwhelming task, with packing up all your belongings being the first major challenge. With a few deep breaths and these packing tips, though, you can conquer the move without losing your mind.

• Before Packing: You want to reserve your movers or moving company at least eight weeks prior to your move during busy periods to guarantee availability on moving day. Once you have your movers selected, you can start to pack up your belongings in anticipation of their arrival. Some moving companies will even pack for you, simplifying and streamlining the moving process.

• Start Packing: Once you have determined your moving date, start packing. Box up belongings that you don’t use often and store them somewhere out of the way. Attics and basements are usually good places to start because they are not high-traffic areas in the house. If you have TheRentersGuide.ca kitchen supplies or dishware like fine china or blenders that go unused on a daily basis, carefully pack them away a few weeks before the move. Make sure to use packing paper or bubble wrap to protect fragile belongings, newsprint from newspapers can be messy to clean. Keep a record of what goes into which box so you can find what you need TheRentersGuide.ca instantly when it comes time to unpack.

• Keep Packing: If you stand back and look at everything you need to pack you’ll be overwhelmed, just start. If you start early enough, you can break up the packing process into a more gradual and less stressful experience. Save the items that you use daily to pack last and make sure to label each box. Avoid packing items from different rooms in the same box to prevent confusion when unpacking.

More than just a moving company, we are customer service specialists equipped with the skill and experience to help you move. Visit www.twomen.ca Dan Hopkins is chief operating officer, Two TheRentersGuide.ca Men and a Truck Canada.

TenanT insurance is affordable peace of mind

S

o, you’ve found your ideal apartment: a two bedroom basement paradise or a mid-town penthouse or a fantastic south-facing one bedroom. Now it’s time to move in right away, right?

Sure, start packing, but make sure you also budget for tenant insurance.

Perhaps you think you don’t need it because you’re only renting and you don’t own any fancy stuff. But, what if something happened – would you have enough set aside to replace all your belongings and to find temporary housing? If you said no, Pina FerraroNovello, a corporate underwriter with Desjardins General Insurance Group would like you to reconsider.

“Tenant insurance is necessary because it protects your property and also covers you in the event that you accidentally cause damage to the property of others,” said Ferraro-Novello.“For example, if your bathtub overflowed and flooded the apartment below destroying your neighbour’s property, tenant insurance would protect you. Luckily, it’s a simple and affordable coverage. Also, if you’re a student, your parents’ policy might automatically extend coverage to you at school.”

apartment is seriously damaged as a result of an insured loss, tenant insurance would also typically cover your additional living expenses while it’s being repaired.

Tenant insurance also provides liability coverage if someone gets hurt because of your negligence, like slipping and falling on a wet floor in your apartment for example.

How much coverage do you need?

The total cost of tenant’s insurance will depend largely on the value of your contents.

Most renters tend to underestimate what it would cost to replace their belongings. It’s smart to take an inventory, including photos, which only takes a few minutes and will make things a lot easier if you experience a loss. Start by walking from room to room and itemize all the contents, including your closets and cupboards. You might think they’re not worth that much until you have to replace them. Keep in mind however that coverage for some insured items may be subject to exclusions or maximum limits. Read your policy carefully to determine your exact coverage.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Typical items to include on your inventory are: computer, printer, tablet, smart phone, flat screen TV, video game system and games, music player and other electronics, clothes, shoes, boots, pots, pans, other personal and household items.

This type of insurance protects you from damage, like fire, theft, certain water damage and vandalism. If your TheRentersGuide.ca
