RENTAL RANTINGS 48 Five signs you need to break up with your roommate by Jennifer Braun


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!

f you’re apartment hunting at this time of year, buildings with outdoor amenities like a pool, tennis courts and gorgeous grounds will seem extraenticing. And air-conditioning will probably also top the list. Some communities just seem designed for warm weather and summer living – practically like living at a resort! While it sounds like fun, take a minute to look at your wishlist before you get too attached to that dream of days by the pool. There’s no reason you can’t have it, but make sure that some of the other important items on your list don’t get missed. It might seem reasonable to go a bit further away from your ideal location, but once the summer fun is over and the days grow shorter, will the longer walk to the bus stop become annoying, and more of an issue in rain and snow? If you trade-off for no underground parking, will you be upset while cleaning off the car all winter? If you’re going over budget to attain those extra amenities, make sure it’s worth it in the long run. It can seem perfectly reasonable to make decisions for the ‘now’ but if they come at the cost of what you’ll need later you may regret it. There’s really no reason you can’t have it all, but it may take some searching. Our

magazine and website, plus RentersGuide.ca, our Renters Guide app and our newsletter offer the best selection of available apartments as well as great articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

JUNE 30TH IS STILL THE BUSIEST MOVING DAY OF THE YEAR The countdown is on

BY JOHN BAILEY

THE BUSIEST MOVING DAY OF THE YEAR IS JUNE 30TH, according to Two Men and a Truck – Canada that day is particularly popular for several reasons. Thousands of people in midtown Toronto will make their moves during the Canada Day weekend, which means movers will be going all out to provide the necessary services. It also means that each year, those who wait until the last minute to book moving trucks and/or movers for June 30th are disappointed when they find nothing available. The school year is over by the end of June, and families with children usually want to wait to move rather than disrupt the kids’ routine. Of course, June 30th ushers in the Canada Day long weekend, which means an extra day to unpack and organize before going back to work. Above all, even considering its unpredictability, weather makes June 30th an attractive moving date. Let’s face it: cold and snow add challenges to any move. By the end of June, the full heat of summer hasn’t kicked in yet, and the chance of rain is slim. Practically speaking in the financial sense, this date represents the mid-year renewal deadline for property RentersGuide.ca taxes and rental leases, which also plays a role in people’s timing. If you want to move on June 30th, you may have to make several calls to make a booking, but every minute you wait lessens your chances.

RentersGuide.ca 18

If you intend to pack yourself, start that now, too. Consider having your mover pack for you. Keep in mind that with time running short, professional movers can get your items ready to move quickly and efficiently. Getting your possessions to your new home in excellent condition is important to us as well as you. If you still decide to pack yourself, you may want to purchase packing supplies from your mover. Our boxes are available in consistent sizes, which makes stacking them in the truck easier. And remember that it’s counterproductive to move items you will just throw out at the other end. Take some time to sort and pitch. A great way to be sure you are totally ready for your move is to use a checklist. You have many things to think of, such as notifying pertinent people and companies of your change of address. You may have to enroll kids in their new schools; make arrangements for pets, babies and toddlers to be looked after on moving day; schedule the shut-off of utilities and phone at your old address and start-up at your new place … you get the picture. You can find a moving day checklist at www.twomenandatruck. ca/your-moving-checklist-plan-your-move.

Five signs you need to BREAK UP WITH YOUR ROOMMATE BY JENNIFER BRAUN

THE TERM BREAKING UP HAS SUCH A DRAMATIC AND TRAUMATIC CONNOTATION. I hear those two words and I picture plates flying across the room and I hear the sound of loud sobs and Justin Timberlake’s hit song Cry Me a River on repeat.

rent on time and he doesn’t do chores. Basically, your roommate just really sucks. It’s not you, it’s him and it’s also time to break up. CASHING IN You initially moved in with your roommate because you couldn’t afford a decent place in the city on your own, but now you’re rolling in cash. You’re moving up the job ladder and can finally afford a bigger and nicer place. In this case, breaking up is just a question of moving on. Talk to your roommate about the changes well before moving day and start making plans for the better. READY FOR THE BIG MOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE Your living arrangement currently consists of you, your roommate and your significant other. They basically live with you already anyway, but you like them more than your roommate: It’s time to make the big move with someone else. Again, this situation doesn’t require any kicking or screaming just a mature conversation about a change that is probably best for all three of you. LIFESTYLE CHANGE You and your roommate use to be a perfect match when it came to everything – from down time to winning beer pong matches on your own turf. Suddenly things have changed and you’re both out of sync about everything from when friends can come over to whose turn it is to do the dishes. One of you or even both of you are going through a lifestyle change which has you moving on – and possibly moving out.

If the thought of breaking up with your roommate has crossed your mind, it might be because your last remote fight led to a sprained wrist or you might just be in a different place in your life than you were just a year ago. Regardless, it’s not working out and it’s time to part ways.

DO YOU EVEN LIVE HERE? Did you sign up to live with a roommate because you actually wanted one, but turns out they’re never home? If you’re renting far from friends and family, having a roommate by your side can actually be very comforting. You don’t not want a roommate you just need a new one. Fortunately, when you slip out of this situation you’ll basically go unnoticed.

Fortunately, the truth is, breaking up doesn’t have to resemble a scene from King Kong or worse, Mean Girls. Breaking up is just a matter of recognizing those “it’s over” signs, and making amends before disaster occurs. If you’re thinking about breaking up with your roommate, here are five signs that may help you realize you really RentersGuide.ca can’t live together anymore: YOUR ROOMMATE ACTUALLY SUCKS This sign is a big roommate deal breaker and a scenario that could actually lead to plates flying across the room. Your roommate is a slob, he doesn’t pay his half of the RentersGuide.ca
