EDITORS’ NOTES

y

ou’ve decided now is the time to rent a new space. Now you have another decision to make – choosing your property management company.

How can you check the reputation of the company or landlord you’re considering renting from? First, find out how long the company has been in business by asking the staff or visiting the company’s website. Most property management companies have well-established business practices in place to ensure that the customer comes first . If possible, drive around existing communities managed by the company you’re considering and speak to some of the renters in the building. Many property management companies will be able to put you in touch with people who would be happy to provide a testimonial.

Get a feel for each company and the staff. You should be comfortable and courteous asking questions and in turn you should be treated with respect.

Think twice about any property management company that doesn’t willingly provide any information you respectfully request.

Putting the customer first and offering the best quality rental space for your money is the company’s ultimate goal. Once you find the perfect space, don’t hesitate in going for it and making it your own!

Let us know how your search for a new apartment goes. We’d love to hear from you.

s

ummer can’t come soon enough – or last long enough. There’s nothing like free time outside without making the efforts of bundling up or cleaning snow off of the car just to enjoy it.

Make time to enjoy the best of the summer. From festivals to sporting events to making plans with friends, there is plenty to keep you busy in the sunshine, but if you find yourself in need of something summery to do, you don’t even need to leave your apartment. Instead, turn your home into a resort. Make good use of the pool if your place has one. Socialize with the neighbours. Have a picnic or take a walk on the property. Or simply set yourself up on your balcony with a lounge chair, a good book and a pitcher of iced tea (Long Island or regular!) for a relaxing afternoon.

This summer, while hot on the apartment hunt, Renters Guide will help you blaze your trail through the city. Know what you’re looking for and 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!

Medallion Corporation

New, modern rental living has you covered, 24/7

N

ot all rentals are created equal.

Those looking for something new, upscale, stylish and modern may feel they’re left out of the game, especially in the most soughtafter neighbourhoods. Many renters looking for that condo-level chic had little choice but to rent a condo from a private investor. Medallion Corporation’s new WESTQ development has stepped in with an even better solution for living in the thriving WESTQueen West community.

The combination of stunning finishes, prime real estate and spectacular lifestyle at WESTQ certainly appeals to those discerning apartment seekers, but what truly sets WESTQ apart is Medallion Corporation’s Superior On Call Service program, which is included in all of their buildings.

Superior On Call Service is an exceptional program. It’s more than a program, it’s a guarantee that you’ll never suffer through maintenance problems or lengthy and unresolved issues in your suite. During the day, on-site property management will resolve requests, and after hours, immediate emergency response is just a phone call away – 24/7. While private condos in the area may offer similar style living to WESTQ, they fall short when it comes to that kind of support.

Off-site owners and investor landlords just aren’t equipped to handle problems as efficiently. Why bother renting if your landlord is going to leave you to struggle with maintenance requests. Medallion TheRentersGuide.ca makes sure that’s never the case.

WESTQ is condo-style living – without the condo fees! Medallion has made WESTQ a rental property to rival the style of area condos. Suites are infused with a TheRentersGuide.ca contemporary edge. Laminate flooring in

the living room, dining room and den are complemented by ceramics in the bath and kitchen and plush broadloom in the bedrooms. Appliances include Energy Star fridge, stove and dishwasher, as well as in-suite laundry. Individually controlled heating and air conditioning is also included.

The surrounding community is eclectic and charming, characterized by its art scene.

The area has gentrified. It’s now the home to hot designers, impressive galleries and swank restos. The perfect recipe for the fab life, from modern cuisine and swish cocktail lounges to rooftop patios and great live music venues. The neighbourhood caters to the ultra-cool and is buzzing with a lifestyle that includes all things urban.

The perfect location, WESTQ Rental Residences is at 45 Lisgar Street. The 14-storey building offers 291 suites, from bachelors to sprawling three+den suites. The larger suites are sublime – a rare find, you can actually have a rental with space and a view – whether you’re an artist and need a studio or work from home and need an office – or just want something larger for yourself – no justification needed, just enjoy the luxury of space!

Medallion hasn’t just created a place to live, it’s created a lifestyle with upscale amenities. Use the party room to throw a bash. The games room, screening room and lounge/library are all extensions of your suite, where you can get together with friends and neighbours – or just enjoy some alone time with a good book. The fitness centre is key – allowing you to give up the gym fees and keep up the fitness regime in the comforts of your own home.

Medallion Corporation is a privately owned, Toronto-based real estate development and property management company. It began more than 50 years ago as Belmont Construction and is today one of TheRentersGuide.ca the few developers in Ontario that continues to build rental apartments. Medallion is committed to the highest level of resident satisfaction. Phone 416-256-0660 or visit online at www.rentwestq.com for more details.

Where it’s at

BY ELISA KROVBLIT

W

est Queen West is an eclectic community. Sandwiched between Parkdale and Queen West, there was a time when it wasn’t so much of a destination.

But in the past decade it’s seen astounding rejuvenation as the independent designers, art TheRentersGuide.ca galleries, lounges, bars and swank restaurants sprawled past Spadina, crossed Bathurst and found new homes in the buildings and storefronts west of Trinity Bellwoods Park.

TheRentersGuide.ca 16G

The once-grand old hotels like The Gladstone and The Drake had fallen into disrepair. Not for tourists - or the faint of heart – venues were the home of punk bands and barflies. Used appliance shops were interwoven with convenience stores and neighbourhood-style restaurants. Then along came the artists and entrepreneurs, filling up converted warehouse spaces and opening up shops and galleries. Independent clothing designers and epicures were setting up shop too.

The face of the community quickly began to TheRentersGuide.ca change. Interest in revitalizing the two old hotels to new glory added huge momentum to the gentrification of West Queen West.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Trinity Bellwoods Park – Image by Carolyn Wong, courtesy of Friends of Trinity Bellwoods Park www.trinitybellwoods.ca

Now boutique hotels with gorgeous restaurants and bars, The Gladstone and The Drake are hubs of the community, both for dining options, nightlife and as music venues. Many of the old buildings and empty fields south of Queen Street leading down to the railway tracks have been replaced with modern architecture and stylish destinations. New low-rise and highrise rentals and condos intermingle with the Victorian homes – most of which are now under renovation and undergoing restoration. It has all made this edgy community attractive and welcoming.

There’s a youthful vibrancy and a hipster kind of cool to West Queen West. There are stories told in spray paint if you wander down the back alleys. There are stories told in tattoos that you can see if you spend an afternoon people-watching in any of the cafés and lounges. The area is ideal for those that like to be on the pulse of the social scene, that enjoy popping out to the latest hot spots and that love seeing the newest Indie bands.

But the area also has a more refined side. There are some fabulous dining options as well as some upscale clothing designers. Not all starving artists, there are galleries with established names – and the price tags to match.

In the summer the area hosts The Toronto FC, BMO Field is on the Exhibition Grounds, a short walk south. The lakefront is just beyond, TheRentersGuide.ca with running and biking trails, rowing teams and places to dock a boat. The beachfront is a great place to relax and enjoy some sunshine.

West Queen West is serviced by 24-hour streetcars and is close to the downtown core, making it a leisurely walk or a quick cab ride to the financial district. It’s also a short ride to the Island airport for those frequent flyers, an amazing convenience for urban living. Access to the Gardiner Expressway is a few minutes down Dufferin Street – and now that Dufferin north of Queen has finally been connected to Dufferin on the south side of Queen Street, traffic and congestion in the area has eased. The area is growing rapidly and infrastructure is following pace.

The area offers all the modern lifestyle conveniences, from banks and businesses to services, pharmacies and a grocery store.

While it seems to cater to the young urban artist and professional, West Queen West has a more tranquil side.

Trinity Bellwoods Park, located between Gore Vale Avenue and Crawford Street runs from Queen Street right up to Dundas Street. It hosts a summer Farmers’ Market and plenty of festivals, but the community enjoys it extensively as an extension of their backyards.

A perfect place for a picnic, there are several baseball fields, tennis courts, a skating rink, a dog park, soccer fields, playgrounds and a wading pool.

The Trinity Bellwoods Community Centre has an extensive list of seasonal programming for all ages, as well as a fitness centre, gym, basketball courts and indoor pool. Couples wander with strollers and families with playing

Whether young and single, a growing family, an urban professional or hip downsizers looking to enjoy life, West Queen West is where it’s at. There are a variety of rental spaces and styles available, offering everything from lowrise Victorian triplex to modern new TheRentersGuide.ca highrise and from conservative quarters to luxury lofts and more.

Canada’s Rental Vacancy Rate Increases The average rental apartment vacancy rate in Canada’s 35 major centres1 increased to 2.7 per cent in April 2013, from 2.3 per cent in April 2012, according to the spring Rental Market Survey2 released recently by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

“While demand for rental units remains high, substitutes to purpose-built rental market units, such as rented condominiums, have taken some of the overall demand for rental units,” said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC’s Market Analysis Centre.“Sustained demand for rental housing from net migration was partly offset by moderating employment growth, notably for young workers aged 20 to 24.”

The results of CMHC’s spring survey reveal that the major centres with the lowest vacancy rates in April 2013 were Edmonton and Calgary (1.2 per cent each) and St. John’s (1.5 per cent). The major centres with the highest vacancy rates were Saint John (10.4 per cent), Charlottetown (8.7 per cent) and Moncton (7.4 per cent).

The Canadian average two-bedroom rent in new and existing structures was $911 in April 2013. With respect to the Census Metropolitan Areas, the highest average monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments were in Vancouver ($1,255), Toronto ($1,202) and Calgary ($1,202). The lowest average monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments were in Saguenay ($560), Trois-Rivières ($562) and Sherbrooke ($586).

Overall, the average rent for two-bedroom apartments in existing structures across Canada’s 35 major centres increased 2.7 per cent between April 2012 and April 2013, up from 2.2 per cent in the previous year. The major centres with the largest increase in fixed sample average rent were Calgary (7.2 per cent), St. TheRentersGuide.ca John’s (5.5 per cent) and Regina (4.7 per cent). Year-over-year comparisons of average rents can be slightly misleading because rents in newly built structures tend to be higher than in existing buildings. Excluding new structures and focusing on structures existing in both the April 2012 and April 2013 surveys provides a better indication of actual rent increases paid by tenants.

TheRentersGuide.ca

As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of high quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions.

Follow CMHC on Twitter @CMHC_ca Major centres are based on Statistics Canada Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) with the exception of the Ottawa – Gatineau CMA, which is treated as two centres for Rental Market Survey purposes and Charlottetown, which is a Census Agglomeration (CA).

1

CMHC’s Rental Market Survey is conducted twice a year in April and October, to provide vacancy, availability and rent information on privately initiated structures in all centres with populations of 10,000 and more across Canada. Reports are released in June and December. Note that there are differences between the fall and spring surveys. The spring survey covers apartment and row structures containing at least three rental units, and, unlike the fall survey, does not report information on: a) Smaller geographic zones within centres; b) Secondary rental market (rented condominium apartments, single TheRentersGuide.ca detached, semi-detached, duplexes or accessory apartments).

Renting with

Children

By Jane Herman

W

hether you’re a single parent, or a family with young children and are searching for a suitable apartment, living with children in an apartment can present certain challenges. Here are some suggestions that will help to make your experience a success.

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 44G

TheRentersGuide.ca

Can you be denied an apartment if you have children?

You are required to disclose on your rental application information about the occupants of the apartment.

Technically a landlord cannot deny you an apartment if you have children (this would be a Human Rights violation), but you should be aware that some buildings are much more child-friendly than others. Keep this in mind when searching and if necessary ask the rental agent if there are young children or other families with children in the building.

Safety should always be paramount Infants and toddlers should never be left alone in an apartment – that includes going downstairs for even five minutes or less to get the mail, do the laundry, take out the garbage, or get something from your car. Infants – even if sleeping in a crib – should never be left unattended. Likewise, keep your eye on your toddler and ensure that windows and balcony doors are kept locked.

Children, particularly school-age children under the age of 11, should not be left alone in apartments if parents are working or are out for other reasons, but many parents have little choice and do it anyway. Serious injuries – due to falls, accidents, burns, poisoning, etc., could result from a variety of accidents that could easily occur in an apartment building. Your children are your responsibility and should not be free to run around the halls and ride on the elevators.

Although it is extremely rare, children wandering alone through the building TheRentersGuide.ca could easily be lured into the apartment of a stranger with ulterior motives.

Be sensitive to the needs of childless neighbours If you do have children, keep in mind that many of your neighbours don’t. Your child-free and childless neighbours are not used to living with crying and shouting, or coping with large strollers, so be sensitive to the needs and concerns of others.

Children do have a right to be there, but they are your responsibility at all times. Strollers should be folded up and stored inside your apartment or in the storage room and bicycles parked in storage racks provided for that purpose.

Choose an area that’s convenient to schools, parks and playgrounds If you are renting with children, research the neighbourhood first to find out where schools, parks and playgrounds are located. Some companies are very sensitive to the needs of families and welcome children enthusiastically and happily provide this information. Some buildings even provide on-site daycare and host seasonal events like Hallowe’en parties, picnics and barbecues for year-round family fun.

If your building does not have onpremises daycare, search the Internet for information about municipal daycare in your neighbourhood. Or inquire in the rental office if anyone in the building provides babysitting or childcare services (either in their apartment or in yours). Perhaps after you have settled into your apartment community and have gotten to know some of your neighbours you might be able to exchange babysitting services.

When they are old enough, teach your children essential streetproofing, safety and other coping skills. While there is no law specifying the minimum age

a child must be to stay alone, if you choose to do so, ensure that you give children the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to manage if they have to be alone in the apartment for any length of time. Address with them, if they can invite friends over.

How can they use the kitchen safely?

What would they do in an emergency?

It is important to prepare for the unexpected.

AGO unveils monumental bronze sculpture series by artist Ai Weiwei in Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square

Photos courtesy of the AGO

TheRentersGuide.ca

Majestic 50,000 pound sculpture installation adorns Toronto City Hall’s reflecting pool in advance of AGO summer exhibition, Ai Weiwei: According to What?

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) unveiled Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei’s monumental sculpture series Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads: Bronze in the reflecting

TheRentersGuide.ca

pool of Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square today. The installation precedes the AGO’s

TheRentersGuide.ca 50G

summer exhibition Ai Weiwei: According to What?, opening on Aug. 17, 2013. Toronto is the only Canadian stop on the exhibition’s North American tour.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads is a collection of 12 spectacular bronze animal heads representing the traditional figures of the Chinese Zodiac. The installation, made possible in part by the City of Toronto which generously allowed the use of the popular reflecting pool outside City Hall, is on display until Sept. 22, 2013.

Ai, who is under constant surveillance and has been unable to leave China since the government confiscated his passport in 2011, is supportive of the AGO’s initiative to share his works publicly. As a political activist and champion of freedom of expression, Ai has been publicly critical of the Chinese government’s record of human rights violations.

“Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads is an incredible piece of public sculpture and a living testament to Ai Weiwei’s belief that art is for everyone,” said Matthew Teitelbaum, director and CEO of the AGO. “By installing this monumental art work in Nathan Phillips Square, we are offering Torontonians a chance to preview Ai’s prodigious talent, and proclaiming to visitors that our city is a place with an insatiable appetite for art and culture. I’d like to extend my most sincere thanks to the City of Toronto and City Council for making this extraordinary opportunity possible.” Larry Warsh, a friend of the artist and organizer of the Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads: Bronze world tour added,“Ai Weiwei is pleased to see that the Canadian people embrace the democratic spirit behind his work.”

The heads are installed in order according to the Chinese zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Standing 10 feet high, each sculpture ranges in weight from 1,500 to 2,100 pounds and is supported by a marble base weighing 600 to 1,000 pounds. The sculptures’ combined weight of over 46,000 pounds required consultation from a structural engineer for installation in the reflecting pool. The Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads have been previously exhibited in London, Los Angeles, New York, Sao Paulo, Taipei and Washington D.C. among other cities.

“The City of Toronto is pleased and proud to partner with the AGO to install this important work by such an influential artist,” said Mayor Rob Ford.“This sculpture series is not just visually powerful, but it is also a great example of public art, as it can easily be appreciated by people of all ages and backgrounds. Staging this work under Nathan Phillips Square’s Freedom Arches also shows that the City of Toronto is deeply committed to supporting and protecting artistic expression and the right to free speech for all.”

AGO extends invitation to Chinese-speaking Torontonians The installation of these sculptures is one of a number of initiatives the AGO is undertaking this summer to draw attention to Ai’s remarkable work. Directed by Toronto artist Gein Wong, the Gallery invites Torontonians who speak a Chinese dialect to participate in Say Their Names, Remember, a live reading of the names of the thousands of schoolchildren who perished in the devastating earthquake in China’s Sichuan province on May 12, 2008. This TheRentersGuide.ca initiative was inspired by Ai’s powerful art works Remembrance (2010) and Names of the Student Earthquake Victims Found by the Citizens’ Investigation (2008-11). Volunteers who wish to participate

left to right: Elizabeth Smith, executive director of curatorial affairs, AGO; Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam and Mayor Rob Ford

in a reading of the names on Aug. 18, 2013 can register at www.ago.net/aiweiwei-names.

Nathan Phillips Square will host another Ai Weiwei work this fall through Scotiabank Nuit Blanche with the installation of a new edition of Ai’s Forever Bicycles (2013)—a sculpture of more than 1,000 bicycles—as part of this year’s celebrations on Oct. 5, 2013. Further details will be announced by the City of Toronto later this summer.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ai Weiwei: According to What? was organized by the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo and the Art Gallery of Ontario. It was curated by the Mori Art Museum’s chief curator, Mami Kataoka.

Leadership gifts in support of the exhibition from Emmanuelle Gattuso & Allan Slaight and the Hal Jackman Foundation. Additional generous support from The Delaney Family Foundation, Donner Canadian Foundation, Partners in Art and Francis & Eleanor Shen. Assistance from media partner The Globe and Mail.

The installation of Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads was made possible in part by the AW Asia, New York.

Contemporary programming at the AGO is generously TheRentersGuide.ca supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.

Childproofing challenges

By Kim Carlton • Make sure your electrical outlets are covered. There are many kinds of outlet covers like swivel ones, ones that just stick into each outlet, and plates that slide back – choose the one that is right for you.

•

Install reliable smoke detectors and make sure that the batteries are working.

• Use doorknob covers on doors to non-childproofed areas (like the bathrooms and laundry room). Round doorknob covers are easy to find however, you may find yourself searching for ones that fit long doorknobs.

• Don’t use toys or crib bumpers in the crib- your baby could suffocate. And never use an electric blanket for a child (could cause a fire).

• Never leave a child unattended in the bathtub.

• There are products that cover the faucet to avoid burns from hot water. Make sure your bathtub has a non-skid mat or pads to avoid slips.

• Consider a toilet seat lock so your child can’t stick their head in there.

• Lock up all medications, alcoholic beverages and cleaning products. Make sure matches and lighters are out of reach.

Use cabinet locks to secure these items.

•

Make sure electrical appliances are stored away from sinks.

Roll up any cords and wires.

*

Make sure cords for blinds are not tied together at the bottom (this is a strangulation hazard).

• Use a fridge lock if you have an extra fridge in the garage or basement. Consider oven locks and stove knob covers in the kitchen.

• Cover the fireplace with a secure screen.

Having a baby is an exciting, but

• If you have a swimming pool, make sure that it is protected by a fence or secure cover that kids can’t get into.

a nerve-wracking experience.

• Make sure knives and sharp items are in an area where kids can’t access them.

You want to make sure that

• Check toys for broken parts/bits that are chocking hazard.

Keep small toys for older children (like figurines, game board pieces, and small building blocks) away from your baby.

“Learning about the environment should be an on-going activity and the summer months are the perfect opportunity to get in touch with nature,” says Mary Desjardins, the executive director of TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.“Through fun-filled eco-friendly activities, parents can help their kids learn life-long lessons about their local TheRentersGuide.ca environment and the impact of their actions.”

Every year, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) supports thousands of TheRentersGuide.ca grassroots projects dedicated to preserving

64G

Canada’s environment, says Desjardins. TD FEF has put together a few ideas of how to put an eco-friendly twist on activities for the kids this summer: • Visit a Local Organic Farm: Local farms are great ways to show your children how food is grown and harvested. Curious young minds will get a glimpse of farm life – whether it’s feeding goats and sheep, milking cows, or caring for crops.

• Grow a Meal: Start a small garden project by growing herbs and lettuce in a window box or build a raised-bed garden. Enjoy the results by adding homegrown vegetables and herbs to a meal.

• Go on a Park Adventure: Bring your children to a local park reserve to explore and admire Canada’s beautiful landscapes. Photograph many different types of trees, flowers and bugs for a nature log.

• Volunteer at an Environmental Charity: Check out local charities that need volunteers for the summer. Activities could range from cleaning a beach or park to planting a community garden.

THE 15-POINT MOVING DAY CHECKLIST b y da n h o p k i n s

TheRentersGuide.ca

M

oving is never easy, it takes a lot of energy and planning to pack up a household, transport it and then set it all up again. From booking the right people and coordinating the timing to finding everything you need, it can be stressful. I recommend the following 15-point checklist to help you complete your move in a stress free way:

1 2 3

Double-check all closets, drawers and shelves, in addition to the attic, garage and any storage spaces to ensure they are empty.

Carry important documents, money and jewelry with you.

Pack toys, games or special items for the kids to keep them busy during the move.

4

Remember to pack a box of basics that you may need on move-in day (tools, paper products, all-purpose household cleaners, etc.). Be sure to have it loaded last so that it will be first off at your new home.

5

Don’t pack paint, bottles of bleach, gas cans or other flammables. It is against federal law for movers to transport flammable and combustible materials.

6

Use strong boxes and containers that can be secured tightly.

Purchase special boxes for dishes, wardrobes and other special items.

7

Pack audio-video equipment in their original boxes. Label cables and tighten transit screws. Before removing cables, take pictures of the back of the unit so you can hook everything back up the same way. If removing screws, tape them to the objects they are removed from.

8 9

Avoid loading more than 50 pounds into one box.

11 Pack books tightly on end in

small boxes. If they are musty smelling, sprinkle talcum powder between the pages and wrap the books before packing.

Leave them stored for a couple of months to eliminate the smell.

12 Have rugs and draperies cleaned

before moving and leave them in wrappings for the move.

13 Pack medicines in a plastic

re-sealable zipper storage bag or leak-proof container.

14 Check the weather forecast for

your move day. If it’s going to be hot, be sure to have a cooler with lots of bottled water and sports drinks on ice.

15 Call your moving company the

day before your move to get a contact number for the crew in case you need to contact them en route. Give your mover your cell phone number and be sure to fully charge your cell phone the night before your moving day.

Label each box and indicate: which room it should go in; whether it is fragile; and if it should be loaded last so it will be unloaded first.

10 Cushion contents with packing materials such as bubble

wrap, newspaper or tissue. Save room by using towels and blankets to wrap fragile items.

Scrumpdillyicious

Leslie Styles, foodie & travel aficionado, shares some delicious dishes found on her travels around the world.

Lemon Posset and Lemon Pistachio Shortbread Lemon Pistachio Shortbread ingredients Makes about 40

› 2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened › 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp icing sugar, sifted › 1/4 cup lemon juice › 2 lemons, finely grated zest › 1 tsp vanilla extract › 1 3/4 cups + 1 tbsp all purpose flour, sifted › 1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped › 2 tbsp cornstarch, sifted › 2/3 cup icing sugar for garnish, sifted Directions

L

emon Posset is a traditional British dessert that was based on a drink popular during the Middle Ages, when access to lemons was a sign of wealth and power. Known simply as Posset, it was originally made with milk beaten with eggs, sugar, and spices and curdled with ale or wine. Over the centuries, the word posset has come to mean a simple pudding, and although this recipe is over five hundred years old, the hallmark of any great dish that has stood the test of time is simplicity, and Posset is no exception, containing just three ingredients: heavy cream, sugar and lemon juice. Simple, elegant and deliciously tangy, Lemon Posset delivers great results with very little effort. Similar to Italian panna cotta which is made with milk, Posset is made with cream for a more velvety, rich and smooth texture.

Made in a matter of minutes, then left to TheRentersGuide.ca chill, this rich tangy and creamy lemon curd-style dessert is delicious garnished with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh Ontario wild blueberries, and a flurry of lemon zest. Serve with one of the great pleasures of life – buttery Lemon TheRentersGuide.ca Pistachio Shortbread.

Lemon Posset ingredients

Makes Four 4-oz servings Adapted from a recipe by Gordon Ramsay

› 1 1/3 cup English double cream (48%) or whipping cream (35%) › 1/3 cup caster sugar

Place the butter and icing sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for eight minutes or until pale and creamy.

Add the lemon juice, zest and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the flour and corn starch and beat just until a smooth dough forms. Add the chopped pistachios and mix until well blended.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Divide the dough into two parts, and roll each into a log about two inches in diameter.

Wrap each log in plastic wrap and referigerate for at least two hours or until firm.

› 2 lemons, juiced Directions

Pour the cream and the sugar into a small saucepan over a low heat and bring to the boil slowly, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Once it comes to the boil, let the cream bubble for three minutes, stirring continuously.

Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the juice of one lemon, stirring the mixture thoroughly as you do so. It should start to thicken instantly. Taste the mixture and add a little more lemon juice if it’s not tart enough. The Posset should be sweet, tangy and creamy.

Allow to cool for about five minutes, then pour into individual glasses, pots or decorative bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least three hours or overnight. If the Possets are very firm, take them out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to soften. Serve with Lemon Pistachio Shortbread Cookies.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. When the dough is chilled, use a sharp knife to cut 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick disks from the log. Bake on a parchment covered baking sheet for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool about five minutes, then gently toss the warm shortbreads in the extra icing sugar and allow to cool completely on wire racks.

respect is a

TWO WAY STREET By ted whitehead

The Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) does a lot of promoting of the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP), which we established to provide quality assurance to renters at buildings that obtain this certification.

It’s about accountability on the part of apartment owners and property managers to do as much as they can to provide a good quality of life for tenants.

Respect should be a two-way street, with renters doing their part to abide by the rules and guidelines set out by the management and outlined in the Residential Tenancies Act (www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_ statutes_06r17_e.htm). Keep in mind that these parameters are set for several reasons, one of which is to help ensure the safety and comfort of all tenants. They also protect the investment of apartment building owners, who should be able to expect that their premises will be treated with care.

One of the best ways to be a good tenant and encourage a healthy, open relationship with your owner and property manager is to live by the golden rule. Treat your apartment the way you would like it be treated if you owned the building. And the same goes for the people. Paying rent on time, for example, goes a long way toward that goal. So does keeping your apartment relatively clean, which will help keep things like floors and appliances last longer. Owners and property managers understand that over time, buildings experience normal wear and tear. If renters damage something through a deliberate action, however, they should pay for the repairs.

You do not own your rental unit, so of course, you do not have the authority to change the locks without the landlord’s or property manager’s permission. For safety and security reasons, being able to access your apartment when you are not TheRentersGuide.ca there may be necessary in an emergency.

Remember, too, that an apartment building is a community under one roof. Rules regarding things like pets, noise and what is safe to store and use on your balcony are there for the benefit of all tenants. If in doubt, ask.

If you own a bicycle, check as to whether you can keep it on your balcony, or the building has a bike storage area. If the elevators are small, it may pose a safety hazard to have people transporting their bikes in and out.

As a renter, you are privileged to live in an apartment that is provided and maintained by someone else. When all tenants obey the rules, the quality of life is raised for everyone involved.

Remember that respect is a two-way street.

To learn more about your rights and responsibilities as a tenant, visit the website of the Landlord and Tenant Board of Ontario at www.ltb.gov.on.ca/ en/index.html, where you will find a Guide to the Residential Tenancies Act. You will also find a wealth of information at www.frpo.org.

Managing your money as co-CFOs Whether you’re making a big purchase, planning a career change, saving for a child’s education or investing for your retirement, it’s important to recognize the impact that each of these goals has on your overall financial plan. A key ingredient for success is balance – it may be a good idea for one person to pay all the bills, but it’s important that both people are informed about where the money goes each month.

Want to get out of

Debt?

T

B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

here are a lot of people walking around with the debt monkey on their backs. A lot of people. And some of them can’t understand how they got roped into carrying the little beastie around with them. All of them wish they could shake the bugger off. So, why don’t they?

Answer seems easy enough, doesn’t it? Just pay off the debt.

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

finances But wait. To do that, a body would have to admit to having debt and there are people who haven’t yet ‘fessed up to how much they owe. Some even pull out the wide eyes and Betty-Boop lips as they announce,“I don’t know how much I owe.”

Really? You don’t know how much you owe? You’re just lucky that you’re not in the room with me, ‘cos I’d give you a good smack!

I assume, because you’re reading this, you’re interested in getting the monkey off your back. To do that, you have to do exactly what I say…

Use the Own Up to Your Debt Worksheet at http://gailvazoxlade. com/resources/own_up_to_debt_worksheet.html.

1. Start by gathering every last statement you have for your debt.

You’ll need your most recent statements to get a clear picture of what’s going on. If you’ve dumped them all, just wait ‘til your next statements arrive and collect them all in one place.

2. List all the debt you have including: • credit cards • lines of credit • loans (for your wedding, furniture, whatever) • auto financing • student loans • buy-now-pay-later loans (even if they haven’t come due yet) • outstanding bills (utilities, phone bills, cell phone,) • the tax man • spousal / child support in arrears • family loans • loans from friends • pay advance loans (from stores) • pay advances from your employer 3. Identify what you used the money for since you want to be able to remember what you’re paying all that interest on.

Hmmm, all those restaurant meals don’t look like such a good investment now, do they?

4. Put in your current balance from your last statement.

5. Put in the interest rate charged.

6. The worksheet will calculate approximately* what your payment will be if you decide to pay off your debt over one, two or three years and give you a monthly total. (*Hey, I built this worksheet and it’ll give you good guidance, but if you want a perfect amount, check the web for debt repayment calculators. The point of this exercise is for you to see your reality and come to terms with what you’re going to do about it.)

7. DO NOT plan to take longer than three years to pay off your debt. There’s a phenomenon called“debt fatigue”that sets in if live with your debt for too long. Thirty-six months should be your MAXIMUM repayment timeframe.

TheRentersGuide.ca 8. If re-payment looks impossible, here are some steps to take: a. Get your interest rate down. $5,000 on a credit card charging 25 per cent will cost you $521 a month to repay in one year. Get

your interest down to 12 per cent using a consolidation loan and you’ll pay only $467 a month on that balance. Transfer your balance to your personal line of credit and pay just 6.5 per cent and it’ll only cost you $444 a month to pay off that $5,000 in one year. Better yet, transfer your balance to a credit card with an introductory interest rate of just 2.5 per cent and it’ll cost you $427 a month. There, you just saved $100. b. Find a way to trim your budget so you can put more money towards your debt repayment. Use Gail’s Interactive Budget Worksheet to create a budget that will let you increase your debt repayment amount. Com’on now, you can trim another ten percent. You can do it! I know you can. c. Make more money. Yes, you may have to find a second job until you’ve made a dent in your debt. It’ll be worth it to get the monkey off your back, I promise.

9. This is the hardest part: Tell someone what your plan is. Better still tell two, five, 11 people. If you go public, the pressure will be on to stick with the plan.

10. For reinforcement, find (or borrow, but don’t buy) a backpack and fill it with the stuff you have charged but have not yet paid for: CDs, books, those snappy shoes, that new cell phone. The idea is to make the backpack heavy. For the first week, and every time you’re feeling weak and want to go shopping, hoist that sucker on to your back and take it with you.

Sound hokey? Carry that monkey around for a few weeks and you’ll see how motivated you are to get that debt off your back.

The amounts listed will help you limit portion sizes and control calories.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Other options include one egg or one ounce of low-fat cheese such as cheddar, cottage, goat, feta or Swiss.

• Carbohydrates and whole grains: Choose 1/2 cup of one of the following whole grains: barley, bulgur, couscous, croutons, kasha, millet, quinoa, pasta, brown rice or wild rice.

• Extras: Choose one of the following: mayonnaise (1 tablespoon), salad dressing (2 tablespoons), sour cream (3 tablespoons), oil (1 teaspoon), avocado (1/4), nuts (about 6), olives (8), dried fruit (2 tablespoons) or salsa (1/4 cup).

What to look for in an apartment

By Jane Herman

A

re you feeling a little overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to find an apartment? Even wading through all of the ads and listings in Renters Guide can be daunting, unless you understand how they are organized.

But where do you start?

The first criteria in your decision should be price: How much can you realistically afford to spend per month?

Most financial planners recommend that your rent (not including extras such as parking, hydro, cable, etc.) should amount to less than 30 per cent of your monthly income.

This may be hard to achieve, but thinking about how much you can spend on rent will also help you to set up a budget.

Include all expenses you’ll be responsible for each month (food, utilities, telephone, transportation, laundry, parking, etc.) and other, annual or variable expenses, such as clothing, moving expenses, renter’s insurance, savings, recreation, entertainment, etc. The more you spend on rent, the less you’ll have available for other things.

Next, determine what area you want to live in. How will you determine where to look? If you are new to the area, you may want to live near friends or relatives, within a certain commuting radius of work or school.

If you have children, do you want to live in a particular school district? Are parks and play areas nearby? Is proximity to the transit or a major highway may be a priority Is the area convenient to shopping, library, recreation facilities, entertainment, restaurants, etc. What are the traffic patterns in the neighbourhood? How is the traffic at rush hour? How are the noise levels in the area at different times of the day, and would this be a factor in your decision?

With these factors in mind, make a list of several different neighbourhoods in which you could look: Area 1: ________________________ Area 2: ________________________

TheRentersGuide.ca

Area 3: ________________________ Type of accommodation: Many apartments are in highrises. A highrise building is one that is six or more storeys, has elevators, security, laundry TheRentersGuide.ca

facilities, and, frequently, sports and/or recreation facilities and other amenities, as well as efficient electrical, heating and plumbing systems.

A walk-up or low-rise would be less than five storeys high, may have no elevator and few conveniences. However, the rent would generally be less at this type of apartment than at a highrise building in the same area.

Other kinds of apartments you could rent include: A basement apartment is a basement in a house that has been converted to an apartment. It may have a separate entrance. The apartment may have its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and heating system, or it may share those amenities with the rest of the home. A low rise apartment building may also have basement apartments.

A duplex, triplex or fourplex is a group of two, three or four apartments together in the same building.

Apartment Features Search through the Renters Guide listings to find those that match your criteria. They are organized by area. You should also use Renters Guide companion website, hometrader.ca. It is an excellent source of apartment listings, also organized by area.

You can also find potential apartments by walking around or driving through the area you have chosen, or through word of mouth. If a friend or relative is happy living in a particular building, chances are you will be too.

When you go to look at apartments, inspect them thoroughly before you sign the lease or give a first month’s rental deposit.

Some landlords have a condition checklist on which to record details upon move in and move out. Be sure to inspect walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, etc. Make sure you note such things as the condition of the property and the building. Note the size and location of the closets. You may want to take along a tape TheRentersGuide.ca measure to see how your furniture might work in the space.

If you go through the process carefully, chances are you’ll be more satisfied with your decision after you move in.

Rental Agreements What You Should Know Before you Sign a Lease

W

hen you rent a home or apartment in Canada, the landlord will usually ask you to sign a written rental agreement. This legal contract is also often called a “lease.”

Under the laws of each province and territory, tenants and landlords have certain rights and responsibilities whether they have a written agreement or not. Nevertheless, a written lease agreement can help spell out all the terms you and your landlord want to have covered and agreed to. You may also wish to seek legal advice before accepting the terms.

To help you know what to expect, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following list of terms that can be found in most rental agreements: • The names of the landlord and tenant(s).

• The address of the home or apartment you are renting.

• The monthly rent you agreed to pay, with or without utilities, parking, cable television or other services.

• The date when the rent is due (for example, on the first day of each month).

TheRentersGuide.ca • The amount and terms of any rent, security or damage deposits you agreed to pay.

• A list of which repairs or upkeep will be your responsibility.

• The term of rental period (most rental agreements are usually for one year, but some may be month-to-month or week-to-week).

• The conditions for ending or canceling your lease, including financial implications and the amount of advance notice you must give the landlord if you decide to move out (for example, 60 days notice).

• The rules or restrictions for subletting the property.

• The amount the landlord is allowed to increase the rent in the future.

• Any other specific restrictions (such as whether or not you can smoke in the home and whether you can have boarders, pets or a waterbed, etc.).

• Details on when and how the landlord can enter your home or apartment.

• The procedure for making changes to the contract.

• A method for resolving any disputes or disagreements (for example, disputes about late rent payments, damage to the property or eviction).

• Contact information for both you and your landlord in case of an

emergency (usually including a phone number, fax and email).

Packing Tips and List Tips to make your move a little easier.

Packing TiPs

❏ ❏

Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.

❏

Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors.

Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.

❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏

Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.

❏

Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.

❏

Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack

Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.

Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed.

List the contents of the box on the side of it.

Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home.

Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering.

Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat.

Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible.

Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less.

Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes.

(Hint-Don’t pack all your books into one box!)

general moving TiPs

❏ Disconnect and bundle cords on television and stereo components. Label each cord with masking tape and a description of where to connect it.

❏ Plan and measure where you furniture will be placed in your new home. It’s helpful to draw a layout of your new home and sketch in the major furniture pieces.

❏ To save time on moving day, move your boxes from the basement, upstairs, or attic to the main floor prior to the move date. Consider carrying items from the back yard to the front yard or garage ahead of time.

❏ Keep your phone connected through moving day to stay in touch with friends, family and the moving company.

A couple’s guide to smArt sAving Y

ou’ve made a decision to share your life with someone – you’ve moved in together, made your first joint purchase…perhaps you’re even considering a joint bank account! As rewarding as it can be, managing your savings with a significant other can also be a challenge.

Whether you keep separate accounts or have fully merged finances, it is useful to know how deposit insurance can specifically apply to couples.

The Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) is the federal agency that exists solely to protect the savings of Canadians in the event their bank fails or goes bankrupt. If you have an eligible account held in Canadian dollars at a CDIC member institution, you are automatically insured up to $100,000. Take a minute to review how different types of eligible deposits apply to you and your partner to ensure your savings are protected.

Joint Accounts – CDIC provides separate deposit insurance coverage for eligible deposits held in more than one name TheRentersGuide.ca (joint accounts and financial products).

It is important to note that deposits you own jointly with someone else are insured separately from deposits you hold in your own name. CDIC ensures eligible joint deposits and TheRentersGuide.ca

financial products up to a maximum of $100,000. Keep in mind, however, that the maximum insurance coverage of $100,000 applies to the account, not the individual owners.

Trust Deposits – CDIC also provides savings protection for eligible deposits held in trust for another person. Trust deposits are insured separately from deposits held personally by the trustee or the beneficiary. This means if your partner is the beneficiary of an eligible deposit in which you are the trustee, they will be insured up to a maximum of $100,000 in addition to their eligible deposits not held in trust.

Spousal RRSPs – CDIC also ensures eligible deposits held in an RRSP separately from other eligible deposits up to a maximum of $100,000. In the

case of a spousal RRSP, the contributor and the owner are different people.

Eligible contributions are added to other registered deposits in the name of the spouse or common–law partner for whom the plan is established – not with deposits in the contributor’s name.

Keep in mind that only deposits held in Canadian funds are protected. So any joint deposits or financial products you may hold in U.S. funds are not eligible for CDIC deposit insurance coverage.

For full details, please visit www.cdic. ca. Knowing the basics of how these different eligible deposits can apply to you and your partner will help ensure your savings are fully protected. NC

The Coffee Table I find that coffee tables are often too bare, lacking warmth from accessories. You should focus most of your energy here. Collect items from around the home - use a wood or chrome tray and decorate it with a vase or pretty drink pitcher from the kitchen, and fill it with fresh or even artificial flowers. All you need is a few stems of larger-headed flowers like hydrangeas if you decide to go with fresh. Though I’m not the biggest fan of artificial flowers, I must admit there are some great options out there today!

2

“DeaD” Corners Empty angles can be problematic but on the flip side can be easily solved. The trick is to add height, which becomes interest. If you’ve got a club chair and aren’t sure what to put behind it, a tall triangular book case can often be a good solution. Stack books, vases and other accessories at varying heights on the shelves.

3 TheRentersGuide.ca Do you want your living room to look nicely DecorateD, but

feel like you haven’t got the money to do it? Are you tight on cash, and does your home reflect that? I’ve got five great stylist tips that can create a fully decorated look without having to spend a fortune.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Pillows Pillows are one of my favourite items of all time – they are an easy method of bringing colour, texture and pattern into a space, and the best part is they are non-committal.

You can change them when you’re ready for something new; you can rotate them from room to room. You TheRentersGuide.ca can never have too many pillows.

Pillows are evidently great on a sofa or side chair, but throw a couple on

TheRentersGuide.ca

the floor in front of the coffee table or television for a more relaxed, comfortable look.

4

MaTChing furniTure I like when rooms look like they’ve taken years to put together, even when they haven’t. If you’ve got a furniture set with a matching sofa, loveseat and side chair, try breaking up the pieces and swapping them with other pieces you have in other rooms. If you have a leather sofa in the den, switch it with your matched fabric sofa from your family room. It’s all about mixing and matching to create something harmonious, but most of all unexpected.

5

aCCessories The finishing touches of a room are indefinitely the most important.

TheRentersGuide.ca Accessorizing is the last step upon completion of a room. Instead of taking the afternoon to go out

TheRentersGuide.ca

shopping for these final items, take the afternoon and spend it searching around your home, for items you already have. The key is to try and bring in pieces that relate in colour and texture. You can never go wrong with glass or reflective elements, they will match any décor.

If you decide that you want to bring in a little bit of “new” and only want to spend a little bit of money, then here are a few tips: » Set a strict budget for yourself of just $200-$300. (You will be amazed at how much you will get for such a little amount of money!) » The trick is to spend wisely – don’t go over your budget » Go to more than one store. My advice is to go to at least three different places, that way you have comparable items to access.

quicktips

Take your home from dreary To cheery

with a fresh coat of paint

W

hat’s a quick and easy way to make a room look instantly cleaner and brighter? Add a fresh coat of paint. But don’t think this project will be a long and labourious one - with a little planning and the right products, it’s as easy as one-two-three.

Ensure the success of your next project by following these five easy, fundamental steps:

1. A little prep and planning goes a long way Painting is one of the easiest do-ityourself projects - it doesn’t require any special training or skill ... if you use the right tools. When you’re planning, be sure to add high-quality paint brushes and roller covers to your arsenal of tools.

TheRentersGuide.ca They’ll come in handy for this project and for years to come. It’s always best to read the label closely when choosing a roller cover to determine if it’s the right type for the specific project. To save time and TheRentersGuide.ca take the guesswork out of the process,

try a microfiber roller cover, like the new Ultra Finish option from Purdy. Not only does it provide superior performance and coverage with all types of paint, the high-quality microfiber holds more paint, allowing you to finish your project faster.

Not so fast ... before you pick up that roller or open a paint can, the next task on your list is to prepare the surface.

Clear the walls of any artwork or décor and then fill nail holes with a small dab of patching compound. If you have larger holes, dents or cracks, it’s best to use a putty knife to repair them and then gently sand the surface. Be sure your walls are clean before you start painting - grease, dust, residue or cobwebs will negatively affect the look of your finished project.

2. Pick the perfect paint Spring is a great time to lighten things up. Crisp, light neutrals can make a room feel larger and instantly brighter. Plus, utilizing a neutral colour on the wall allows you to quickly change up your space whenever the mood strikes, with new pillows, throws or decorative accents.

For a more modern neutral, try“greige” - a gray-beige mix - that’s versatile and comfortable in nearly any space. Once you choose the right shade, concentrate on using the right formula and sheen of paint. Think about the type of space you’re painting, the final look and the level of durability you want to achieve.

3. Concentrate on the edges After prepping the walls, don’t forget to cover the floors and any furniture with drop cloths or plastic. If you’re a novice and you’re looking to achieve clean paint lines around the space, painter’s tape along the trim, doors, windows and moulding will provide an extra level of protection. Then, take your time and slowly cut in around the edges with your high-quality, angled brush. Although it can seem tedious, a little bit of patience is key when painting and can really

make a room look like it was done by a professional.

4. Roll it out Now that the walls and your room are prepped and the edges are complete, you’re finally ready to start painting the rest of the wall. Start in a corner of the wall and apply paint as close to the edge as possible. Then, paint a large“W”or“M” on the wall, filling in and overlapping the areas while the paint is wet. This way, you’ll get even coverage and avoid roller marks and lines.

If paint splatters off the roller, it can mean one of two things: you either have too much paint on the cover or you’re rolling too fast. So when it’s time to reload, roll the cover back and forth on the upper half of the paint tray to remove excess paint and equally distribute the colour.

Make slow, even passes to get splatters under control.

5. Clean it up The paint’s on the wall, the tape’s removed and you’re almost ready to sit back, relax and enjoy your newly spruced up space. But first, be sure to clean your tools so they stay in tip-top shape for your next project. If you used latex paint, simply wash brushes and roller covers with soap and water until the water runs clear. A great way to remove excess paint or water is by running the curved edge of a painter’s tool along the roller. Once the water runs clear again, dry the roller or brush by spinning it between your palms quickly inside a garbage bin or deep sink.

Painting a room is something that can be accomplishedTheRentersGuide.ca in a weekend - or even a day - so you can easily breathe some freshness into your décor this spring with a little bit of seasonal inspiration.ARA

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.

The five worst

money mistakes

T

he financial decisions you make today will determine your future wealth, income and happiness. It’s important to take your time and avoid these five common blunders:

1 Investing without advice Seek the guidance of a good investment advisor. A qualified professional will work with you to develop a plan that will enable you to reach your long-term financial goals. If you don’t already have an advisor, websites such as franklintempleton.ca can give tips on how to find one.

2 No budget, no plan

Keep track of your spending and live within your means. Pay down debt and be mindful of borrowing costs. Plan ahead for extraordinary costs and major purchases such as vacations and cars.

3 Not thinking about the long-term

Open a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and make monthly contributions.

An RRSP will help trim your tax bill too. “Make your money work for you,” says Don Reed, president and CEO of Franklin Templeton Investments Corp. “Investing for the long-term in a prudent mix of equity and fixed income funds will help you achieve your future financial goals.”

4 Thinking that “it won’t happen to me”

If you have a family, it’s essential to have insurance. Ensure that your plan will take care of the people who depend on you as a chief income earner.

TheRentersGuide.ca

5 Living paycheque to paycheque

The future is unpredictable. It makes sense to build an emergency fund and be financially prepared for unforeseen events such as unemployment, illness and death.

Marriage of natural light and the right colour works wonders for home décor

M

other Nature is a master decorator. In summer, she dresses the world in lush greens and vibrant floral hues.

And in autumn, natural light is one of her most powerful designer touches.

Natural light should play an important role in your home decorating efforts, too. Not only does light from outside affect how certain colours look in your décor, it can influence a home’s mood, style and even the health of the people who live there.

Decorating with natural light doesn’t require a designer’s expertise or budget. You can use natural light to create an inviting atmosphere by keeping a few important points in mind:

TheRentersGuide.ca

The right direction Light enters our homes from every window and every direction. The directional source of natural light can influence the effect it has on a home’s interior.

Sunlight entering from the north is usually colder. A northern exposure will only get direct sun during summer months. By contrast, a southern exposure guarantees a warm, sun-filled interior. Rooms that receive light from the east will have bright mornings, muted mid-days and cooler evenings. West-facing rooms will experience the most sun in the afternoon and evening.

Colour coding The colours you use in your home decor will react differently under different natural lighting conditions. For example, reds will look vibrant and cheerful in a room that gets sun from a north-facing window. But those same colours might overpower the decor in a west-facing room. Settings with a southern exposure that brings in ample light can withstand a darker colour palette that would make a north-facing room feel dark and dreary.

You can balance the changing sunlight of an eastern exposure with a mix of colours. And neutral colours will create a soothing effect in a west-facing room that captures the sun’s fading light in the late afternoon and early evening.

When choosing colours that will relate well to a room’s natural light, remember that the colour will look different in your home than it does on the paint chip or in the home decor store. By keeping these rules of thumb in mind, you’ll be able to select colour families that are most likely to work well with a room’s natural light. ARA

Three simple ways

to live life more richly

C

anadians are always looking for ways to save money, but are not always willing to sacrifice comfort. With a couple of simple adjustments, it’s possible to save on monthly household expenses without compromising on quality and comfort. Here are some ways to put hundreds of dollars back in your pocket in a matter of months.

• Canadians are paying an average of $40 a month for home phone service. If you are already paying for high-speed TheRentersGuide.ca Internet, you can use your existing connection and use a voice over IP phone system for free local and long distance calls within Canada. On the sleek Ooma Telo device for example, you

TheRentersGuide.ca

get advanced features like caller-ID, call-waiting and voicemail as part of the basic service package, which means extra savings. By making the switch to VoIP, you can easily save over $600 in two years.

• Household energy and water bills consistently eat away at your monthly budget. Consider the time of day you are leaving lights on or running the dishwasher, and take advantage of off-peak rates. Did you know it’s more expensive to do a load of laundry during the day than it is at night? You can also save water by taking a shower instead of a bath, and turning the tap off while brushing your teeth. This may seem like commonsense advice, but the financial benefits are anything but basic.

• Television cable can often be one of the highest bills every month. Luckily, there are simple ways to cut back on this monthly expense, without completely eliminating this source of entertainment. Consider opting for a PVR instead of purchasing a time-shifting package. This gives you more flexibility while reducing duplicate channels. You can also watch online, some networks stream their shows shortly after their regular television broadcast. And don’t be afraid to shop around or negotiate a new deal – a simple telephone call could TheRentersGuide.ca mean big savings.

recipe

Barbecued Lobster

with red pepper and lime butter IngredIents 4 Clearwater lobsters 1 Red bell pepper, roasted, peeled and seeded 2 tbsp. Oil 1 cup Butter, softened 2 Limes, juice and zest to taste Salt and pepper pinch Cayenne pepper 2 Garlic cloves, chopped 1 Lemon, juiced 1 ¼ cup Fresh chives and coriander, chopped Ground black pepper, coarse Lemon wedges as garnish

PreParatIon:

Y

ou can impress your friends and family this summer with this delicious and healthy barbecued lobster recipe. In fact, lobster is an TheRentersGuide.ca appetizing and very nutritious barbecue option as it contains less cholesterol, calories, and saturated fats than typical grilling choices such as lean beef, pork, and chicken.

TheRentersGuide.ca

» Bring large pot of salted water to a boil; plunge in lobsters for 4–6 minutes to blanch. Remove and cool lobsters until you can handle them. Cut in half, lengthwise, remove viscera, and crack claws. » Preheat oven to 425F. Brush red pepper with oil, place on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, turning several times.

Remove from oven and cool. Carefully peel off pepper skin, remove seeds and chop pepper. Place softened butter, red pepper, zest and juice from limes in a blender and process until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Set aside at room temperature. » Prepare marinade by combining olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, chives, coriander and black pepper. Rub thoroughly over lobster and let stand 20 minutes. Barbecue lobster flesh–side down on a hot grill until golden.

Turn, brush flesh with red pepper butter and cook, shell side down for another 6–8 minutes. Allow the lobster to rest on warm plates, top with remaining red pepper butter.

With this recipe you’ll taste the difference in quality with Clearwater Premium Hardshell Lobsters. Fresh from the pristine, ice–cold waters of Canada’s North Atlantic, these lobsters are harvested at times when energy levels are highest, meat content is at a maximum and shells are hardest yielding up to 50 per cent more meat than soft shell lobsters. For more TheRentersGuide.ca delicious lobster recipes, or to view the full selection of Clearwater fine seafood on–line you can visit www.clearwater.ca.

Set up automatic

savings C

oming up with a significant amount of cash in order to make a lump sum contribution to your RRSP can be difficult. Financial planning experts suggest that monthly instalments, withdrawn automatically from your bank account, may be less financially painful and give you additional advantages.

According to Aurele Courcelles, the director of tax and estate planning at Investors Group, monthly preauthorized contributions allow you to take advantage of the rises and falls of the stock market through dollar-cost averaging while enforcing the personal savings discipline we wish we had on our own.

“Coming up with a significant chunk of cash before the RRSP contribution deadline can be difficult,” says Courcelles. “Setting up a regular payment plan with an amount that you can afford will not only ensure that the money makes its way into your retirement savings, but also that you benefit from the compound investment returns.”

He provides the following example: • You set up a regular investment plan to invest an amount you can afford – $250 into your RRSP on the first of every month.

• At a compound annual return of 6.5 per cent, you’ll have $278,000 of pre-tax assets after 30 years.

• If you wait until the end of each year and invest TheRentersGuide.ca $3,000 in a lump sum, you’ll have only $259,100.

• By PAC-ing each month, you add potentially $18,900 to your retirement fund – and it doesn’t TheRentersGuide.ca cost you an extra penny.

Note that the rate of return in this example is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect future values or returns on investment. The illustration ignores the tax savings produced by the tax deductible RRSP contributions.

“Your regular PAC contributions generate a tax benefit for the current tax year and you immediately start enjoying long-term tax-deferred appreciation,” Courcelles adds.

Moving made easy: Smart planning tips to save time and trouble

M

oving comes with a mix of emotions that can be overwhelming.

You may feel excited to live in a new home, but getting all your possessions moved can be stressful. The key to having a smooth move is staying organized and following a schedule similar to what the pros use.

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

moving

The first step is to not worry about your upcoming move. If you follow this simple timeline and valuable advice, any move can be quick, easy and organized:

Three to four weeks prior to move day 1. Estimate how large a rental truck you’ll need. In general, allow 150 cubic feet of truck space for each fully furnished room. For example, a 12-foot truck offers 450 cubic feet while a 26-foot truck offers 1,400 cubic feet for your items.

2. Get the packing supplies you need. Save time by ordering your moving supplies like boxes, labels, bubble wrap and packing tape online early.

Sometimes you can collect boxes at work or ask your local grocery store if they have any you may have.

3. Start packing. Begin with out-of-season and non-essential items.

Remember to label boxes clearly. This is also a good time to lighten your load. If you haven’t worn or used it in a year, donate it to charity.

4. Utilize technology. Did you know you can use your smartphone to quickly and easily rent a moving truck with Penske’s new mobile rental option?

Simply access PenskeTruckRental.com from your smartphone and the site automatically becomes an easy-to-use mobile version. A few clicks and you’ll reserve the perfect moving truck for your moving day, saving you time and headaches.

Two weeks prior to move day 1. Change your address with the post office. Remember to update your address with other important contacts such as banks, credit card companies, magazines and professional associations.

2. Call service providers and utilities to discontinue cable TV, trash collection, water, gas and electricity. If your move date is flexible, consider scheduling cut-off for a day or two after you move, just in case there is a delay and you still need those services.

3. Ask for help. Get a crew of family and friends to save the date to help on moving day. You’ll need some strong folks to help move boxes and appliances, and some others that are willing to watch children and pets so they don’t get in the way.

One day prior to move day 1. Finish any remaining packing. Reserve one box for essentials which will be the last box you pack and likely the first one you open at your new destination. Include items like checkbooks, credit cards, IDs, glasses, prescription drugs, house keys and other necessities.

2. Pick up your truck rental the day or evening before the move to save time on moving day. Penske professionals will get you familiarized with your vehicle and help you verify the best driving directions to your new home.

TheRentersGuide.ca They’ll even check the upcoming weather and give you any necessary driving advice.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Move day 1. Pack the truck. Put the heaviest items on the truck first. When loading and unloading, be sure to bend your knees and lift with your legs, not your back. Work diligently, but be sure to take breaks and stay hydrated.

2. Leave early in the morning. You’ll run into less traffic and you’ll leave yourself extra time to unload at your destination. Take turns driving and take breaks once every two to three hours.

3. Get help unpacking. After a long drive you’ll appreciate assistance unloading the moving truck. If possible, have friends or relatives ready to help at your destination.

By using this schedule, you’ll have an easy and smooth move without headaches so you can enjoy your new home and look forward to the future. -ARA TheRentersGuide.ca
