EDITORS’ NOTES

a

re you too busy to manage a home? Perhaps you’ve done the homeownership thing, and want to unshackle yourself from the costs of upkeep and home maintenance?

Most everyone these days is looking at ways to de-stress and simplify their lives, and renting rather than owning one can be one of the easiest ways to get relief. When you really think about it, it’s an option that may take some getting used to!

Needless to say, when you’re renting a home, your “to-do” list will likely look very different than those from your homeownership days. It could things like frequent trips, and longer vacations; more time to enjoy friends and family and plentiful periods of “me” time with those books and movies you’ve always wanted to check out.

Whether you’re a life-long renter or a homeowner in need of a change, this issue of Renters Guide is for you. We’ve profiled some of the top buildings and suites in the Greater Toronto Area, and we’ve got some great advice on renting and decorating in the issue too. Your new “to-do” list is waiting. Time to set yourself free.

t

he car. More and more, people are deciding that they don’t need it.

Rental living really can make car ownership an unnecessary expense.

No, it’s not that some buildings come with a car included – well not exactly. In many cities in Canada there are one, two and even three carshare programs available. With cars at-the-ready in high usage areas, they’re a perfect option for those occasional drivers. Some property management companies are even starting to offer ride-share on site.

While that may work for non-commuters, those that need to travel a distance beyond a reasonable walk or bike ride start to be hard-pressed to part with their cars. Why not move closer to work or rent on a convenient transit line? Apartments are readily found on the major routes. Whether it’s a train, tram, subway, LRT or bus in your community, moving to a transit pass can save on gas, parking, insurance and car payments – and if you add just a portion of those saving to your rental budget you could be living better and wasting less time in traffic. That time you save is priceless.

Have you ever considered carpooling? If you’re living in an apartment building, chances are you’ll be able to find someone to commute with.

Sharing the expense and enjoying some company can brighten a commute even in the worst weather.

If you want to make the move, we’re here to help. You may even find underground parking in your next move! Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

One32 Brand new suites in Corktown Downtown Toronto is a very different community to a new generation of urbanites. While in past decades, the focus was on Toronto’s core, the 21st Century has seen a new urbanism, a revitalization of areas established when the city was founded and the waterfront was central to the booming industry and commerce in the city. Corktown was originally central to Toronto and has been rediscovered as a go-to destination.

On the east side of Toronto, Corktown starts at Sherbourne and travels east to the Don Valley Parkway. Hotspots and cool shops intermingle with new residential and commercial construction. Renovation and restoration of Corktown’s more desirable historic buildings has freshened and modernized the neighbourhood.

In fact, 51 Division of the Toronto Police Services restored and renovated the building at 51 Parliament, one of the most amazing police precinct buildings anywhere in Toronto.

The massive Waterfront Revitalization Project has breathed new life into The Donlands, with a massive urban park and trails nestled against this community as a backdrop. While Queen Street and King Street offer an eclectic mix of businesses, Corktown gives way to the south to the picture-perfect Distillery District – a cobblestoned and bricked-in community of boutiques and dining rooms, patios and galleries that is the backdrop for many photo shoots and period pieces and is used extensively by Hollywood!

Corktown has that cool edgy vibe – that presence that doesn’t try hard to be great, it just is. The days of disrepair and dereliction have been left behind, and it has become a major destination TheRentersGuide.ca for design, foodies and independent businesses that are a huge draw for those-in-the-know – the ones one step ahead of the trendsetters.

Corktown has streetcars that directly link to the subway system, the core of downtown and TheRentersGuide.ca 8G

beyond. Access to the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway are a gateway to the entire GTA and beyond.

The waterfront is just to the south if you follow Parliament past Lakeshore, where Cherry Beach has always been a favourite destination, the urbanite’s beach – more secluded and less overpopulated than the residential Beaches neighbourhood further to the east. With the addition of the massive Pirate Ship Park and soccer fields on Unwin, as well as one of the city’s biggest music venues located right on Cherry Street, the area arguably has the best of the city at its doorstep.

With the new development, Concert is pleased to introduce One32. It’s the perfect way to take advantage of life in Toronto with a desirable Corktown address. A 10-storey mid-rise, the building at Queen and Berkeley offers studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom suites. All feature style to match the lifestyle. Bright, open floor plans have vinyl plank flooring throughout main living areas and dishwashers. Most one-bedroom suites as well as all two- and three-bedroom homes also feature in-suite laundry.

Not just another pretty face in this great community, One32 does its part to be environmentally sound and sustainable, as Concert has developed the property to target the Toronto Green Standards (Tier 2) in addition to LEED Gold certification.

Known for superior customer service and new rental homes in ideal neighbourhoods such as Motion, located at Bay and Dundas; and Jazz, located at Church and Shuter, the guarantee of quality at One32 – as in all of Concert’s properties – is found in the company’s signature ‘Concert On-Call’ service. It’s Concert’s service commitment that, should any issue arise, Concert will address your concern in a timely manner. And for those really urgent situations, Concert’s maintenance service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Concert On-Call is only a phone call away, though for those that prefer, maintenance requests can also be TheRentersGuide.ca submitted digitally through the informative website ConcertProperties.com.

THE HUMBLE CHAIR

BY LAURA STEIN EACH AND EVERY DAY, ALL OVER THE WORLD, millions upon millions of people do the same thing they have been doing for thousands of years: park their posteriors in a chair. Chairs have graced the earth since ancient times and are a ubiquitous part of our physical and social landscape. But have you ever thought of a chair as a fashion accessory? A museum-worthy masterpiece? A commentary on socio-political values? For every chair in which someone has sat, there has been someone else who spent hours hunched over a worktable drafting and designing.

While some chairs have been fairly forgettable, other designs have been so forward-thinking and revolutionary that they changed the course of furniture design as a whole, and influenced an entire era. Today these chairs are considered classics and cultural icons, and can be found everywhere from your local café to the Museum of Modern Art.

Red-and-Blue Chair, designed by Gerrit Reitveld, 1918, The Netherlands Gerrit Reitveld is considered one of the most influential furniture designers of the 20th Century. A member of Dutch artistic movement De Stijl (“The Style”), Reitveld was interested in the most abstract expression of design, breaking it down to its simplest, purest form of shape and colour. Made of pine and plywood, this chair is often referred to as a three-dimensional version of a Mondrian painting, and is part of the permanent collection at The Museum of Modern Art.

Louis Ghost Chair, Philippe Starck, 2002, Paris Modeled on the classic Louis XV oval-back chair, this chair was introduced by Kartell in 2002 and soon became a classic in its own right. Formed from a single piece of injectionmolded transparent polycarbonate, it is strong and suited for indoor or outdoor use.

Available at Design Within Reach, dwr.com, Inform Interiors, informinteriors.com and other licensed Kartell retailers across Canada

TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca 18G

Morris Chair, designed by Gustav Stickley, circa 1901, Syracuse, NY Influenced by legendary English designer William Morris, this chair is an iconic example of the American Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th Century. Made of unadorned quarter-sawn oak, it is one of the earliest reclining chairs, with a tilting back TheRentersGuide.ca that adjusts through a series of pegs. Early Stickley originals sell at auction for tens of thousands, and the designs are still in production

by Stickley today. stickley.com.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Barcelona Chair, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, 1929, Berlin Originally designed for the German Pavillion at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona, this chair is one of the most recognizable of the modern period. Made of chrome-plated steel and button-tufted leather, the chair has been produced by Knoll since 1953. To tell an original from a knock-off, look for Mies van der Rohe’s signature stamped on the inside of the frame.

Available at Design Within Reach, dwr.com, Inform Interiors, informinteriors.com and other licensed Knoll retailers across Canada

Chair No. 14, designed

by Michael Thonet, 1859, Vienna

This bentwood chair is considered to be one of the most successful product designs of all time.

Thonet developed a process of steaming wood until it was pliable, then manipulating it into shape. Because a single piece of wood could be bent into almost any configuration, no joinery and far fewer pieces of wood were required to create the furniture. Simple screws held the pieces together, which could be flat-packed for shipping and assembled on-site…long before IKEA came around. An updated version of this chair is still in production today, and is still one of the most popular chair designs ever. toncanada.com

Lounge Chair 670, designed

by Charles and Ray Eames, 1956, Los Angeles

Husband and wife team Charles and Ray Eames produced furniture for the masses made from newly available products such as plastic, molded plywood and fiberglass.

An icon of mid-century modern design, this chair was created for comfort. Although the chair’s design has evolved slightly over time, it has been in constant production by Herman Miller since its inception in 1956.

Available at Design Within Reach, dwr.com, Inform Interiors, informinteriors.com and other licensed Herman Miller retailers across Canada

Living with a roommate: The Good, The Bad and The Compromise

By Tal Klachook

Whether you’re fresh out of university or college, leaving your parents’ house TheRentersGuide.ca for the first time or moving out from your first-year dorm room, it’s finally time to TheRentersGuide.ca move into the apartment you’ve rented with a couple of your close friends.

TheRentersGuide.ca 26G

TheRentersGuide.ca

Life is great. The endless décor shopping, inspiration boards on Pinterest and the thought of how incredibly fun living with your BFFs is going to be, is surreal.

But when the ‘cookie-cutter’ stage of living with your friends slowly diminishes and you start arguing about who is buying the next roll of toilet paper, you begin to doubt the decision of living with the friends you never imagined you’d disagree with about anything.

While there are certainly some perks of living with a roommate, there are times when it feels like you are stuck with the ‘worst roommate ever.’ You know, the one with unsanitary hygiene habits – who rarely showers but when they do, they decide that it’s a good idea to use your towel. Or the kind who stays up all night playing World of Warcraft on full volume, when they know you have an exam the next day.

I’ve heard almost all of the ‘worst roommate ever’ horror stories, and thankfully I am yet to be a victim of one (knock-on-wood). Maybe it is because I got lucky, or maybe it’s because growing up with three sisters, I’ve learned to share and compromise almost everything. ‘Share’ and ‘compromise’ are key concepts when if you’re even considering the idea of living with others.

In any case, while living with a roommate may have its downfalls, they do come in handy.

One of the many reasons people choose to live with a roommate is because of financial considerations. Affording your own place when you’re twenty-something (especially while paying for school or saving up for something) may be manageable but it will definitely be financially straining. So splitting the cost of rent, utilities and food still gives you the independence you need and want, while saving you money.

Though this sounds quite promising, it can often result in conflict. Since everything is shared the boundaries become blurred as to who owns what, and can result in your roommates taking and using personal belongings without permission.

If you’re like me, and hate the thought of living alone and feel the need of having someone to scare off any hypothetical intruders/spiders/door-to-door sales people, then having a roommate is perfect for you.

A roommate is like having a second family. There is always someone to hang out with and talk to, unlock the door when you’ve forgotten your keys, take care of you when you’ve had a little too much on a night out, and bring you soup when you are too sick to get out of bed.

While you may enjoy your roommate’s company, what you may not enjoy is whom they are bringing home. Once you’ve made the decision to live with a roommate you can kiss your TheRentersGuide.ca private life goodbye.

You’ll find that those who are involved in a relationship will often complain about the lack of privacy they have, when

their significant other is present.

However, what you do need to keep in mind is that no one wants to be woken up in the middle of the night, because of a roommate’s decision to stay up and entertain. The freedom of living out of the house and without someone imposing rules for the first time can leave some roommates drunk on freedom and making choices that may infringe on their cohabitants’ needs.

It is only fair that some sort of compromise should be agreed upon before bringing a significant other to the house. In fact, in the spirit of keeping ‘sharing’ and ‘compromise’ top of mind, it’s probably a good idea to lay out some ground rules, agreements and understandings at the outset of rooming together, addressing the common issues impartially before conflict sets in to your happy home.

Creating an agreement or schedule on things such as cleaning, chores and shower times can prevent disagreement and clashing of personalities. There is nothing worse than running late for work and having to wait for your roommate to get out of the shower so that you can brush your teeth.

Even though living with a roommate can have some moments of frustrations, as cliché as it sounds, the good and the memorable times overbear the bad. It’s all about learning how to adjust and being able to overcome the differences.

At the end of the day, these roommates can become your life long friends and mentors.

Things to consider when

Renting WITH KIDS You’re faced with the decision to relocate: whether you’re downsizing or changing locations completely, the questions are in the back of your mind. Is renting worth it for my family? Am I going to lose money if I rent? There is no right or wrong answer, it just depends on your family, lifestyle needs and budget. Here are some common questions I’m asked about renting with kids.

By Jodi Gilmour

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca 38G

TheRentersGuide.ca

renters’help Renters Guide: What are people with kids looking for in a rental?

Jodie Gilmore: People with kids are looking for exactly the same thing buying parents look for: good schools, safe neighbourhoods, friendly communities, parks, easy access to amenities such as groceries and extra-curriculars, swimming and skating lessons, guides and scouts … the list goes on. Renters are looking for the things that make family life fun and convenient.

RG: What are some advantages for parents to rent instead of own?

JG: Renting is usually less expensive than owning, so parents can spend more on other things (like Disneyland!), or save up for other major purchases (like a puppy!). Renting definitely makes you more mobile, so for parents who anticipate needing to move again in less than three years, it’s certainly a good option.

RG: How can parents maximize their savings when they are renting?

JG: When couples are hoping to buy in the future, I always help them figure out what their monthly costs would be if they were homeowners. We make sure their rental costs less than 75 per cent of their imaginary house costs, and they bank the extra 25 per cent to put toward a down payment. Any renter saving up for any expensive goal could take this approach! Just play with the percentages until you’ve saved up what you need by the time you wish to accomplish your goal.

RG: What amenities and features do apartment complexes have that appeal to parents?

JG: Kids are usually thrilled to hear that their new abode boasts a swimming pool.

Parents, on the other hand, focus more on the convenience and community aspects of highrise living. If they don’t have to shovel snow and cut grass, they have more time to spend with their kids (at the pool). I have clients who share a nanny with another family in their building, a savings for them and friends for their kids. In most buildings there is at least one stay-at-home mom who’s open to doing day care. Ask other moms when you’re previewing apartments.

RG: What types of buildings are not that suitable for parents?

JG: Some buildings are not designated retirement residences, but the core population is seniors. Parents of little noisemakers might find themselves less-than welcome in this living situation. Parents should consider the demographic of a building before joining the community.

RG: How can parents get along with their neighbours who may not like kids?

JG: You can’t really force people to like your kids. Best to just try to keep the noise level down and stay out of your cranky neighbour’s way. Every street has that lady TheRentersGuide.ca whose yard is a tennis ball graveyard. Your kids will learn from trying to respect their neighbour’s right to privacy, peace and quiet.

How Much Insurance?

B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

T

here’s no product in the financial world that’s been more maligned than life insurance. Part of the problem has been the heated and often vicious debate that’s raged between the proponents of term insurance versus those who favour permanent insurance. The other part of the problem is TheRentersGuide.ca that people have been “sold” insurance – as opposed to making an informed buying decision – and that’s leftTheRentersGuide.ca a really bad taste in our mouths.

TheRentersGuide.ca 50G

TheRentersGuide.ca

finances

Some people believe if they don’t work outside the home they don’t need life insurance. With no paycheque to replace, premiums seem like a waste of money.

So, answer me this: with the other guy at work all day, who will watch the kids, do the laundry, drive hither and yon, make dinner, do the laundry, vacuum, grocery shop, do the laundry? How much would it cost to replace you?

Young people know they are never going to die. And if they do, it’s a long way off.

Since the odds are in their favour, life insurance premiums are a waste of money.

This is a paradox since if you buy your life insurance when you are young, you’ll pay so much less for it. Let’s be reasonable here, don’t you think a life of peace of mind is worth a few hundred bucks a year? Of course, if you’re a gambler by nature and choose to take your chances skipping life insurance completely I only have one more question for you: how come your stuff is worthy of insurance, but your life isn’t? Maybe it’s because you don’t have to deal with the ramifications of your own death so it’s easy to ignore them.

Since many people are covered by life insurance through their benefits package at work, they believe that individual insurance is a waste of money. Have you even reviewed how much your work insurance provides and calculated whether this is enough to support your family? And when you leave that job for the next, will you still be young and healthy enough to get the insurance you need because the work plan just doesn’t cut it?

Then there are also people who avoid buying life insurance because they simply don’t want to think about their own demise.

Ya know what? You’re gonna die. So get over yourself and do what it takes to make sure your family isn’t left holding a Pot of Nothing when you’re safely pushing up daisies.

Almost everyone needs life insurance.

Unless you plan to lead a solitary life and have no one that depends on you, you’ll TheRentersGuide.ca probably need insurance at some point. So the next question is,“How much?”Here’s a formula you can use to figure this out:

A – (B + C + D + E) = Insurance needed A = Your family’s assets and income (including existing insurance, a spouse’s income, government benefits, pension income, income from investments e.g., GICs, CSBs, mutual funds, income that could be realized from the sale of assets, etc.)

B = Your family’s monthly Budget needs (Including shelter, food, and household supplies, clothing, utilities, car maintenance, insurance (home and car), childcare, entertainment, etc.)

C = Costs associated with your death (including funeral expenses, accounting and legal fees, probate costs, estate taxes, etc.)

costs, such as your funeral or the payoff of existing debt; others are ongoing: monthly expenses and educational costs.

The discrepancy between what your family has and what it will need must be covered in some way if you wish to minimize the financial impact of your death.

In deciding how much insurance you should buy, answer the following questions: Will your estate have sufficient funds to pay for your funeral?

Will your estate have sufficient funds to pay your accounting, legal, and probate fees?

Will your estate have sufficient funds to pay the taxes owing at your death?

D = Debts to be paid off (including credit card balances, loans, etc.)

Will your estate have sufficient funds to provide the income required to meet your family’s day-to-day needs?

E = Exceptional expenses (including educational costs, vacations, major purchases e.g., new car, medical equipment, etc.)

Will your estate have sufficient funds to eliminate any debts you have at death?

Begin by calculating the income your family would have, based on the existing income (from pension, spouse’s employment, etc.). Add the income that would be generated from your assets.

Once you know how much income your family will have, calculate the expenses they will face. Some will be one-time

Will your estate have sufficient funds to provide for such priorities as the education of your children/grandchildren?

Who will win this year’s Great Places in Canada contest?

The nominations are in and the race is on

T

here are 68 locations competing to be one of this year’s Great Places in Canada. With nominations now closed, voters across the country have another three weeks to vote for their favourite contenders.

One winner in each category - Great Neighbourhoods, Great Streets and Great Public Spaces - will be selected by a panel of experts based on both popularity and planning excellence.

As well, three People’s Choice Awards will be decided strictly on the number of online votes.

British Columbia has the highest number of nominations at 27, followed by Ontario with 13, New Brunswick and Alberta each with eight, Nova Scotia with three, Northwest Territories,

Quebec and Saskatchewan each with two, and Manitoba, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador with one nomination each.

So far in the Great Public Spaces category, the leading vote-getter is Riverside Park in Cambridge, ON. In second spot is McAdam Train Station in McAdam, NB, narrowly ahead of third-place St John City Market in St John, NB. In the category of Great Streets, Lacombe’s Historic Main Street in Lacombe, AB is ahead in votes, with Bernard Avenue in Kelowna, BC not far behind.

Courthouse Square in Goderich, ON is currently third.

Old South/ Wortley Village in London, ON is currently dominating the Great Neighbourhoods category with the greatest number of votes. St. Jacobs, ON is second, and Cookstown, ON is in the third spot.

Voting will remain open until 12 o’clock midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on September 23, 2013. Go to www.GreatPlacesInCanada.ca and vote before the deadline.

Landlords required to act

WHEN BED BUGS ARRIVE B y Ted Whi t ehead

A

nyone renting an apartment in Ontario may be wondering about the buzz regarding bed bug infestations.

Certainly, these insects are undesirable to everyone concerned, including landlords and property managers. If a tenant finds bed bugs, they should notify the landlord immediately.

In addition to tenants taking steps to isolate the insects and prevent them from spreading to other areas of their apartments or other units, landlords and/or property managers are required to take the necessary steps to address the situation. In fact, their responsibility begins with being proactive, and as with so many things in life, education is key.

The Public Health section of the City of Toronto website (www.toronto.ca) features fact sheets on how to recognize and deal with bed bugs. All tenants should receive this information so that if an infestation begins, it can be caught in the early stages and dealt with before a major problem occurs.

Approaching this problem as a team, of like-minded individuals, with the common goal of ridding an apartment building of bed bugs works to everyone’s favour. Tenants must realize that when it comes to bed bugs, property managers want them gone equally alike.

TheRentersGuide.ca When the existence of bed bugs in an apartment building is confirmed, the landlord must arrange for a professional pest management company to come in and conduct the proper techniques TheRentersGuide.ca

74G

to eradicate the pests. This involves cooperation from the tenants affected.

They have to empty shelves, drawers, closets and the like, and that takes time. Landlords have to give them a reasonable time to accomplish this task, keeping in mind that sooner is better than later. If the tenants are elderly or disabled, they should be supplied with assistance for this preparation. If family and friends are not available, the property manager will generally aid in finding someone who can lend a hand.”

Landlords are expected to pay for professional extermination of bedbugs.

Taking the appropriate actions to get rid of bedbugs is treated as a very serious matter. If a tenant is unreasonable about cooperating with the landlord in eliminating bed bugs, the property manager can apply to Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board to request eviction. If a tenant causes undue expense such as missing an appointment for the pest control operator to come into the apartment, the landlord could apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board to request an order to charge a tenant accordingly. Landlords would also be wise to conduct quarterly inspections after an infestation has been eliminated.

Remember that no one wants bed bugs, so it very important that tenants and property managers work together as much as possible to get rid of them!

For additional information on the effective control of bed bugs, visit Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/ pest/part/protect-proteger/bedbugspunaises-lit/index-eng.php. In Toronto, property managers and landlords can also contact Public Health to have inspector’s present educational seminars to tenants.

And, if you are shopping for an apartment, look for the CRBP logo.

Rental buildings that have passed the stringent criteria to achieve this certification have shown that they are operated by landlords and/or property managers who keep current with evolving responsibilities as challenges such as bed bugs occur.

To learn more about CRBP-certified buildings, visit crbprogram.org .

MOVING IS MUCH MORE

THAN PICKING UP BOXES

By Dan Hopkins

O

ne of the main reasons why people hire movers is that they want to hand over the all-important task of transporting their prized possessions to professionals who understand the ins and outs of the process.

One of the most trusted movers in the industry is Two Men and a Truck which was founded in the early 1980s by MaryEllen Sheets. The company has grown to more than 200 worldwide locations by providing exemplary service.

Professional movers should be trained to handle all aspects of a move, so when you are shopping for a firm to pack and/ or move your belongings to your new place, ask what kind of training their employees receive.

For example, our franchisees are required TheRentersGuide.ca to attend a two-week education/training session called Stick Men University, named for the stick-men logo designed by MaryEllen Sheets. That logo appears on every truck, sign and company document, and has become a symbol of trust.

TheRentersGuide.ca

80G

In addition to learning about the marketing, accounting, hiring practices and management of their franchise, owners are taught to train their employees with the latest techniques and the best available equipment.

Training is held in Lansing, Michigan and delivered by management and home office executives.

While franchisee owners may not move furniture as part of their regular routine, this exercise enables them to properly train their employees in packing and moving methodology.

They are also taught how to properly pack items for a move. The Two Men and a Truck International headquarters has a fully-functional two-storey home built inside the training centre, where trainees learn to maneuver, wrap, pack and load tricky items such as pianos, fragile breakables, major appliances and big-screen TVs. From large bedroom sets to home office set-ups, trainees are expected to learn to recognize any and all possible obstacles, and then empty the home as quickly and efficiently as possible.

We are adamant that the customer should be every moving company’s first priority. Our training classes are continually monitored and updated as new technologies come along, to make sure that we are providing the best service available.

This innovative training facility also includes a replica moving truck built to scale. Trainees pack the back of the truck with household items, and the sides are clear so that the trainers can observe how well the items are packed.

Packers must determine how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during transit and how much jostling the items will endure, and pack accordingly.

Our goal is to exceed our customers’ expectations by treating everyone as you would want your grandmother to be treated. We call it the Grandma Rule.

In addition, through Stick Men University, regional managers can take training courses throughout the year, and the trainers hold a two-day frontline staff conference at our international headquarters.

We have also adopted the tagline“Movers Who Care”to reflect our attitude toward what we do. Check with the moving companies you are considering to learn how much training their movers receive before trusting them with your cherished possessions.

Red Beet & Goat Cheese with Hazelnut Vinaigrette

t

his gorgeous stacked salad has become a standard at Wolfgang Puck’s famed restaurant Spago,

in Los Angeles. Rounds of brilliant red beets layered with slices of white goat cheese make up one of the most striking and elegant appetizers they serve. The earthy beets and pungent cheese ask for just a drizzle of tangy vinaigrette, a sprinkling of toasted nuts and some microgreens for colour.

A healthy and delicious recipe, this stunning appetizer tastes incredible – and is guaranteed to impress all of

TheRentersGuide.ca

your friends. The key is to purchase beets that are all about the same size, and to save time, the beets can be

TheRentersGuide.ca

roasted beforehand as well as

TheRentersGuide.ca Recipe courtesy of Wolfgang Puck + photo Susan Hathaway 84G

preparing the two vinaigrettes.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Red Beet & Goat Cheese Napoleons with Hazelnut Vinaigrette ingredients Serves 4

› 3 lb large (at least 3-inch in diameter) yellow or red beets, washed and trimmed › 8 oz rice wine vinegar › 8 oz granulated sugar › 6 tsp extra-virgin olive oil › 3 cups mixed baby lettuces, washed and dried › 1 8 oz log herbed Goat Cheese, cut into eight round slices › 1/2 cup Spago House Dressing › 1/2 cup Citrus Hazelnut Vinaigrette › 4 tbsp toasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped

Citrus Hazelnut Vinaigrette ingredients Makes 1 1/3 cups

› 1 large shallot, peeled and minced › 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, minced › 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar › 1/2 tsp orange zest › 1/3 cup hazelnut oil › 1/3 cup olive oil In a medium saucepan, bring orange juice to a boil. Lower to a simmer and reduce until only 1/3 cup remains. Cool to room temperature. In a medium bowl, combine orange juice, shallot, thyme, vinegar and orange zest. Slowly whisk in both oils until thick and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until needed.

Spago House Dressing ingredients Makes 1 cup

› 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar › 1 tbsp sherry wine or red wine vinegar › 1 tbsp Dijon mustard › 1 small shallot, minced 1/2 tsp minced fresh thyme leaves › 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil › 1/3 cup walnut oil › 1/4 tsp Kosher salt › 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic and sherry or red wine vinegars, the Dijon mustard, minced shallot and minced thyme.

Slowly whisk in the oils and when emulsified, TheRentersGuide.ca season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate in a covered container. It’ll keep for three to four weeks. When ready to use, whisk again.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and bake for 60 to 90 minutes, depending on their size. To check if they’re done, gently insert a skewer into a beet. The skewer should slide through easily. Remove the beets from the oven, allow to cool a bit, and then remove from the foil, and peel.

Cut each beet into 1/4-inch thick round slices, from top to bottom. Then using a three-inch round cookie cutter, cut each slice. You’ll need 10 rounds. Save trimmings for another use.

In a sauté pan, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil. Lower to a simmer and poach beets one minute on each side. With a slotted spatula, remove and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

When ready to assemble, heat the olive oil in a small sauté pan. Arrange the slices of herbed Goat Cheese in the pan and warm slightly, turning them with a small spatula just to warm both sides. This has to be done quickly or the cheese will melt.

To assemble the napoleons, place one of the beet rounds on a firm, flat surface and begin to layer. Top with a slice of goat cheese, then another beet round, a second slice of cheese, another beet round, a third slice of cheese and a final layer of beet round. Continue until you have five layers of beets and four layers of cheese. Carefully cut through layers, dividing into three wedges. Repeat with the remaining beets and cheese. Carefully cut through layers with a very sharp knife, dividing into four wedges.

To serve, arrange three of the wedges, pointed ends facing out, on a long narrow white porcelain plates. Toss the baby lettuces with the Spago House Dressing and mound half of the lettuces on top of each arranged napoleon. Drizzle one half of the Citrus Hazelnut Vinaigrette around each mound. Sprinkle toasted nuts and reserved diced beets on top of drizzled vinaigrette. This dish should be served immediately, or else the beets will really start to bleed into the goat cheese – it’ll taste great though!

Why university students need

tenant insurance!

B

etween moving to their new place, choosing courses, and making new friends, postsecondary students should never forget about tenant insurance, say advisors in this field. Many tenants know that landlords have insurance on their building and they assume it’s enough. They may be surprised to learn how risky going without tenant insurance really is.

“A landlord’s insurance won’t cover a tenant’s personal belongings if they are lost in a disaster,” says John Jenner, vice-president of marketing and communications at Western Financial Group.“Tenants also need to understand TheRentersGuide.ca that they will be responsible for damages that they might cause accidentally to any part of the building, or to another tenants’ possessions. For example, if your toaster malfunctions and causes a fire in the building, you are responsible to pay for both the damages to the building and TheRentersGuide.ca for any possessions that your fellow tenants lost.”

Tenant insurance covers two main areas: contents and liability. Here are a few more details: Contents Even if you don’t own many expensive things, it can be very expensive to replace everything you own. Contents insurance will help you replace your possessions and cover the cost of the damage you caused to others’ property.

Liability Did you know you could be held legally responsible if someone got hurt in your apartment? For example, if someone slipped on your wet floor they might choose to sue you. Tenant insurance will protect you against legal fees and will pay potential losses. This section of the insurance policy will also protect you if one of your guests damages the building.

“Tenant insurance is not expensive, but going without it might be,” said Jenner.“It is important for renters to know their options to make sure they are protected in case of an incident.”

Saving money on inSurance in 2013 leaving, it’s important to notify your insurance company. For example, if you vacate your house for more than 30 days without informing your insurance company, you would be violating your policy. This is particularly important if your house is burglarized during this period because there’s a good chance your claim wouldn’t be covered.

3)

Secure your cottage at the end of the season: Here’s a brief check list to help you stay organized:

• Be sure to clean out the gutters and the chimney. Then make sure to cover the chimney to keep out the weather and animals.

• Secure and seal all the windows, any small openings and the doors.

• Burglar-proof your cottage by leaving your place as uninteresting as

I

f you’re like millions of other Canadians, you probably made a resolution back on January 1 to save more money and reduce your debt. Well, how’s it going?

Remember that reaching this particular finish-line requires discipline and diligence. It also helps to know a few moneysaving tips, so the experts from Desjardins Insurance have put together a few to help you save on your home and car insurance.

1)

Choose the right home insurance: Take your time, do your research and be selective. Don’t let a lower price be your only guide, as coverage varies by company. For example, some insurers provide certain types of water damage protection, while others don’t.

It’s also important to make a list of your needs and personal items before you get a quote.

TheRentersGuide.ca Being thorough from the start makes it easier to compare companies.

2) TheRentersGuide.ca

If you’re planning to go away, be sure to call your insurance provider: Before

possible. Chain up the gate or fence at the entrance of your driveway. Pack away all outdoor furniture and remove any fire hazards.

• Turn off the water, electricity and in some cases the natural gas. Be sure to drain the pipes to prevent freezing and cracking. Pouring environmentally friendly non-toxic antifreeze (used in RVs) into your toilets is a good idea if you’re unable to drain them completely.

4)

Use winter tires: Quite simply, winter tires are designed to save lives.

They are made from innovative rubber compounds that are softer and

more pliant. They also have deeper, specially-designed treads that allows them to perform better on ice, snow and slush, but also in both dry and wet conditions when the temperature dips below 7C. Another benefit of using winter tires is that some insurance companies will reward their clients with a discount on their auto insurance.

5)

Finally, consider combining your home and auto insurance: In some cases you may be eligible for a reduced rate by joining your car and

home insurance, especially if you’ve been with your insurer for a while.

Another simple way to increase your auto insurance savings and enjoy greater convenience is to consider insuring all of your personal vehicles with one provider.

Build self-esteem for a lifetime of confidence

H

ow a child feels about him or herself can have a strong influence on their academic achievement. If their self-esteem is strong, they can respond to life’s challenges better, and become happy and successful adults.

As a parent, you play a major role in shaping your child’s self-esteem.

Here are some ways to help your child feel good about themselves: • Acknowledge and encourage your child’s strengths and special talents.

Provide opportunities for your child to participate in things she is good at, such as music, sports, dance, theatre, or community service.

• Help your child see the positive.

Remind him of his past achievements and special skills. Developing confidence in his ability to solve problems is a key element in selfesteem.

TheRentersGuide.ca

• Teach your child that it’s okay to make mistakes. Reassure him that no one gets everything right all of the time.

TheRentersGuide.ca

• Support your child’s attempts to try new things. Help her to feel that she doesn’t have to be a “star” at everything she tries. The pressure to succeed may lead a child to limit herself to activities she knows she can already do.

• Help your child take responsibility for the negative consequences of his own behaviour. Learning to acknowledge and try to repair harm or damage done to others is a far more effective tool to build a child’s self-respect than blame or punishment.

After school programs can help children develop self-esteem by providing structured and supervised activities such as computer instruction, sports, literacy tutoring, music and art lessons, nutrition guidance, and help with homework.

“We’ve funded hundreds of Canada’s after school programs and have learned that kids enrolled in these programs actually develop enhanced social behaviours and are more motivated to excel and stay in school,” says Jasmina Zurovac, director of corporate donations at RBC. “This in turn has a positive impact on a child’s self-esteem.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

The RBC After School Grants Project supports programs that help kids learn, grow and reach their full potential. Visit www.rbc.com/after school for more information.

Add leeks to your

chicken salad sandwich C

anadian leeks are plentiful from the spring through to fall, however many people are unfamiliar with how to include these hardy, nutritious legumes in their healthy meal plans. Leeks only need some gentle grilling to bring out their sweet, complex flavour and when paired with wilted spinach, as they are in this flavourful Spinach and Leek Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe, you’re sure to get all of the vitamins and nutrients associated with these two vegetables in one scrumptious meal.

PREPARATION TIME: 15 MINUTES TOTAL TIME: 15 MINUTES SERVES: 4 INGREDIENTS:

Spinach is a valuable source of iron, which is an essential nutrient for helping to move oxygen throughout the body and for reducing fatigue, but in this sandwich, the two slices of bread actually give you the same amount of iron as the spinach.

8 slices Dempster’s WholeGrains Ancient

1 tbsp (15 mL) butter 1 leek, thinly sliced 5 cups (750 mL) fresh spinach, divided Pinch nutmeg Salt and pepper ½ cup (125 mL) crumbled feta cheese 3 Maple Leaf Prime Naturally Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cooked and coarsely chopped Grains Bread, toasted Olive oil

DIRECTIONS: HEAT butter over medium-low heat in a fry pan. Add leek and cook three to four minutes or until soft. Add 3 cups (375 mL) spinach and cook two to three minutes or until completely wilted.

Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Remove from heat to cool.

CHOP spinach and leek mixture roughly.

Stir in crumbled feta cheese and chopped chicken.

BRUSH one side of each slice of toasted bread lightly with olive oil. Top olive oil side of four slices of bread with chicken mixture, remaining fresh spinach and bread slices. Cut each sandwich in half and serve.

The beauty of

a floor-length blind is from head to toe

A

t first sight, you’d say that a Perceptions blind is a big, beautiful expanse of glamorous sheer fabric. But have a closer look. As the sun rises in the sky you’ll realize that behind the fabric are movable vanes that subtly filter the incoming light. As day turns into night, you can close the vanes completely, to ensure privacy.

“Despite its high functionality this blind is very flexible, with a soft, less techno look that will harmonize with just about any room style,” says Mary Dobson, the spokesperson in Canada for Levolor Window Fashions, and a frequent presenter on Citytv’s Cityline. “There’s a wide range of fabrics to choose from, not only delicate neutrals including a beautiful soft gray, but also several strong, vibrant colours.

The Seclusion collection is semi-opaque, ideal for locations where privacy may be an issue.”

TheRentersGuide.ca And that’s not all. This floor length blind covers a walk-out to the patio. The entire blind, sheer fabric and light-filtering vanes, can be moved smoothly and quietly, out of the way if you’d rather enjoy the full view, or step outside onto the patio.

TheRentersGuide.ca

“You’ll also find a wide selection of valances,” says Mary. “There are decorative fabric valances, and rods in five different finishes, with a variety of end caps and finials. Subtle or ornate, laid back or bold and TheRentersGuide.ca beautiful, these blinds will adapt to any style or location.”

With a choice of stacking patterns and controls, plus the possibility of 12 foot wide panels, the Perceptions line provides a simple, elegant and flexible light control solution for large windows and doors.

Mary reminds us that the “layered look” remains popular in window treatments, and with the vast selection of Levolor fabric choices and types it’s possible to fully co-ordinate your windows with any room in your home.

quicktips

back to lunch When it comes to your kids’ lunchboxes, it’s sometimes tricky to come up with healthy ideas that they won’t trade away. Here’s some food for thought that’s sure to help you please even the pickiest of eaters.

1 2 3 4

If they build it, they will eat. A sandwich is boring, but a sub? Now we’re talking. Pack them a whole-wheat bun and a container filled with their favourite toppings, sliced and ready to stack: tomato, turkey, low-fat cheese and spinach.

Giving them a say in this lunchtime classic will make it taste that much better.

Some like it hot. A thermos may seem old fashioned and hefty, but when you fill it with a trendy favourite like Pad Thai spiked with tofu, broccoli and bean sprouts, your kids won’t mind carrying the extra load.

Eat what they eat. If your kids see you packing your own lunch (and filling it with nutritious items like whole grain crackers, healthy soup, fruit and baby carrots) they’ll be more likely to eat their healthy lunches too.

Find a new favourite. At My Best, a national school-based children’s wellness program developed by AstraZeneca Canada and Physical and Health Education Canada, has suggestions for healthy foods your kids will love. You can download lunchbox-friendly recipes like couscous salad and tuna-stuffed celery sticks online at atmybest.ca

Get over the hump. Switch up their lunch routine by offering them foods from all over the world every Wednesday. A teriyaki stir-fry one week and Moroccan stew TheRentersGuide.ca the next? Yum! You’ll probably want to save some for yourself too. NC

safety

Carbon monoxide leaks

are deadly and odourless alarm,” Gignac says. “If they did, they would still be with us today.”

Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite the average home having several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not installed a CO alarm.

“Over the past four years I have spoken to dozens of groups and hundreds of people and the comments are almost always the same,” Gignac says. People tell me they don’t need a carbon monoxide alarm because they have electric heat. But when I ask them if they have a gas appliance or water heater, or a wood-burning or gas fireplace, or a garage or carport attached to their house, they all get a horrified look on their face. Because any one of those can be a source of CO and their families have been at risk for years.”

T

hat nip in the air as a warning that fall is on its way also provides an early warning that increased vigilance is required to protect your family from carbon monoxide, known as the “silent killer”.

For one Ontario man, it is an especially stark reminder. In late 2008 John Gignac, a retired firefighter, lost his niece, her husband and their two children to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. A blocked chimney vent forced the deadly gas from their gas fireplace back into their home. Since then, Gignac has established the Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for CO Education and spends his retirement TheRentersGuide.ca imploring others to protect themselves from CO with one simple step: installing a CSAapproved carbon monoxide alarm.

“My niece Laurie Hawkins and her family had TheRentersGuide.ca no chance because they did not have a CO

In addition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the flu, without the fever. It is routinely responsible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed.

Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death.

Gignac offers these five CO safety steps: • Have a licensed inspector check heating systems and other fuelburning appliances, including fireplaces, every year.

• Install one CSA-approved CO alarm on each storey of your home and outside all sleeping areas.

• Check outside to make sure all exhaust flues and vents are not obstructed.

• Replace CO alarms every seven to 10 years depending on the manufacturer, whether battery operated or hardwired.

• Change batteries at least once a year.

“Most CO alarms cost in the range of $30, just about two cents a day over their lifespan, a nominal price to pay for the safety of yourself and TheRentersGuide.ca your family,” Gignac adds.

More carbon monoxide safety tips are available online at www. endthesilence.ca. NC

5 easy ideas to organize

and maximize a small bathroom

• Take Back the Tub. From shampoo and shower gel, duckies and boats, the bathtub often needs to store a variety of items. While shower caddies or shelves are an ideal solution, you can also make your own. Reuse your straight shower rod – but install it across the back wall of the tub. Next, use shower rod hooks to hang a variety of plastic baskets to create instant storage for each member of the family.

• Maximize with Dual-Function. Dual-function products are perfect for smaller baths, since they offer added benefits, without taking up more space. Update your current toilet paper holder, towel bars and in-shower shelves with newer versions that integrate a grab bar. Moen, for example, offers stylish grab bar designs featuring a paper holder, a towel bar and two shelf designs – all in a variety of finishes to help you update these bathroom basics while adding storage, safety and style.

• Shelves for Storage. Don’t limit the vertical surfaces of your bathroom for mirrors and décor, especially if you don’t have a closet. Try installing wall shelves. There are a variety of options – from smaller, decorative shelves that can hold perfume and toiletries – to larger hotel shelves that provide the perfect storage location for towels.

• Hidden Helpers. While space underneath the vanity offers room for storage, this hidden area is a glutton for disorganization. Remove everything and toss any items you don’t need. Next, use baskets or bins to create a place for everything.

Don’t forget that the back of the doors can also be an added location to install a hook or shelf.

T

he bathroom serves a variety of uses from a functional space to a serene sanctuary, from a storage facility, to a grooming salon.

And, whether you enjoy it yourself or share with the family, every bathroom is in need of one major thing TheRentersGuide.ca – organization. To keep it feeling more serene and less insane, here are five easy ideas to help improve your organization, maximize space, and even add a bit of style: TheRentersGuide.ca

• Hotel Inspiration. Take note when you’re in a hotel at the many amenities they offer and incorporate them into your bathroom for added functionality and organization. Did you love using the wall-mounted mirror? Enjoy the convenience of storing the hair dryer on the wall? Moen tells us they have a variety of bath accessories like the Arris wall-mount magnifying mirror that allows you to obtain hotel luxury at home – so install and enjoy.

With a few simple projects, your bathroom TheRentersGuide.ca can achieve maximum use of space, style and organization. More information is available online at moen.ca. NC

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.

Family Budgeting

rom groceries to the hydro bill, every family needs to watch their pennies.

“A family needs a budget that everyone can follow,” said Dennis Tew, father of three and chief financial officer of Franklin Templeton Investments Corp.“Ensure you track expenses and plan for costs. This will help you save more and spend less.”

Here are a few ways to get your family budget on track: Recurring expenses. Track your monthly spending on your home, food, transportation, utilities and loans. Consider TheRentersGuide.ca giving to charity on a regular basis too.

Occasional expenses. Birthday gifts, entertainment, dining out, school trips and clothing can quickly add up. Ensure you watch these expenses closely.

Emergencies. Build up some savings in an emergency fund.

A rule of thumb is three months of your income.

Save for the future. Put some money aside for a new home, car or family vacation. Remember to contribute to an RRSP and RESP. Paying off debt should be a priority too.

Consider asking a financial advisor to help you plan and budget. More tips on how to save for the future are available at www.franklintempleton.ca. NC

quicktips

Create the perfect

master suite

retreat

To achieve a charming appearance with soft comforts, start by styling the room with fixtures and accessories that exude a clean style, like the Voss collection from Moen. Voss delivers uncomplicated glamour throughout the entire bath. With a full range of bath fixtures, including rain showers, faucets and coordinated accessories, your master bath can be transformed into a personal sanctuary that will last for years to come.

The master bedroom is the ideal place to take refuge from reality – and when it comes to creating the perfect bedroom and bath, casual and comfortable retreats are more appealing than formal, showroom-like spaces.

But, blissful hideaways are not limited to only one style and feel. Here are some ideas and inspiration to create a serene master suite, no matter what your definition of relaxing may be.

Bathing Bliss Before choosing a theme or colour palette for the bedroom, focus your attention on the bathroom first. This functional room TheRentersGuide.ca deserves to be updated with elegant and understated features in order to create a haven from the stresses of everyday life.

After all, a true master suite escape has TheRentersGuide.ca the ideal spa-inspired bathroom.

Cozy Country Flair An uncluttered room with rustic décor pieces is sure to create a relaxing environment away from the hectic world outside.

The simple aesthetics of an English country look accomplish this desired feeling by mixing patterns and décor elements comfortably and with a bit of flair.

To create this look, start with a simple colour palette – such as blue and white or pink and brown. Patterned wallpaper, borders and curtains in floral or plaid prints are a great way to evoke that welcoming, country feeling. And keep your eyes open for one-of-a-kind antiques and wood furniture to accent your country retreat. A perfect – and often inexpensive – place to start is your local antique store, flea market, or even yard sales. After all, one person’s trash is another person’s vintage treasure.

Coastal Contemporary There’s a reason why tropical beaches are considered the fundamental escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The rush of the ocean and the feel of sand between your toes can bring anyone a lasting sense of tranquility.

For this laid-back theme, use an upholstered headboard in a soft blue pattern to highlight the focal point of the room – the bed. Use whimsical décor pieces such as glass bedside lamps and palm plants throughout the rest of the room to complete the theme.

Whether your style is more classic, country or coastal – or TheRentersGuide.ca perhaps a combination – you can create a dream master suite retreat that fits your own personal style.

We’ve teamed up with paint and wallpaper experts Farrow & Ball to give you an inspiring do-it-yourself lamp project for your home!

By SARA DUCK

Closet Stripe ST364.

tips:

$185 per 10m roll.

FARROW-BALL.COM

If the circumference of your lampshade is greater than 52 cm, it’s best to use a stripe or plain pattern as you’ll need to turn the wallpaper on its side.

LIGHTEN UP the STEPS: 01 Measure the height and circumference

of your shade. Cut out a piece of wallpaper to your shade dimensions, adding 2 cm to the diameter measurement.

02 Mix a small amount of wallpaper paste.

Take a pasting brush and, starting from the seam on the lampshade, paste a section of around 20 cm. Don’t overload the brush or the shade – the paste can be very wet.

TheRentersGuide.ca

03 Line the edge of the wallpaper offcut

up against the seam and smooth into place over the glued section of the shade – don’t press too hard or you may dent the shade.

Adjust the wallpaper until it’s sitting flush

with the top and lower edges of the shade as well as being aligned along the shade seam.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

before you start:

+ Clear Wallpaper Condor Wall Adhesive Coating Brush

by Dynamic.

by Simms. $17. RONA.CA $6. RONA.CA

+ Jonsbo Shade in Beige. $10.

IKEA.CA

04 To avoid bubbles or crinkles, carefully brush from the centre of the shade to the outside edges using a clean, dry soft bristled wallpaper brush.

05 Leave to dry completely before fixing the shade to your lampbase.

+ Detachable Scissors

Fruits and vegetables make you more attractive You are what you eat. Fruits and vegetables have properties that will, in essence, make you more attractive. along with the health benefits of eating fresh produce, you may notice that your skin has that bright glow, making you more attractive to others.

To reap the beauty benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables, stick with ones that are high in carotenoids. On the Reboot with Joe website (rebootwithjoe.com), juicing experts tell us that,“carotenoids are made by the plant and once we have ingested these nutrients, they travel into the bloodstream and are distributed into the skin and other organs. These nutrients concentrate in the skin, giving us a lovely skin tone and offer protection from the damaging effects of UV radiation.�

TheRentersGuide.ca

Fruits and vegetables that contain carotenoids including beta-carotenes and lycopenes, the anti-oxidants credited with putting a glow on the skin, are: carrots,

Juicing extracts key nutrients from the vegetables and fruit into an easy-toconsume form, making them easy to absorb. If you need some guidance on purchasing the equipment, retailers point to the popular Breville Juice Fountain Plus. It’s a dual-speed juicer with a specialized disc that extracts more nutrients than other choices.

Along with increasing your natural glow, juicing and consuming more carotenoids will also bring benefits to your vision health, may prevent cataracts, support a healthy immune system, keep mucus TheRentersGuide.ca

are yours with clever technology

W

ith a little guidance and the right tools, cleaning your floors can be done in no time – and can also save you the expense and headache of sending heavy loads, like area rugs, out for professional cleaning.

The problem areas to tackle skillfully on any rug, say the pros, are spills and stains, dug-in grime, and tightly tangled hair around the fibres – all of which require examination before you proceed.

“Every household should have a few reliable tools for do-ityourself maintenance, especially homes with growing families and pets,” says Andrew Santoni at appliance innovator, Electrolux.“Indeed, it is due to advancements in technology that daily housework routines are now so much easier.”

A specialized vacuum for rugs and bare floor cleaning is one essential tool, he says, emphasizing that regular and thorough vacuuming is a key factor in maintaining a healthy and clean home environment. To reduce or eliminate inefficiencies try these few steps: Vacuum: • Do it frequently and thoroughly. Just one person sheds at least one hundred hairs and one million skin cells every day, so be sure to vacuum at least once per week in less trafficked areas and up to twice per week in high traffic areas, like the kitchen, bathrooms and front entranceway.

• Use a speedier appliance. One of the persistent gripes when vacuuming, Santoni tells us, is the number of times one needs to stop, shear-off, or untangle a clogged brushroll. Now, a new innovation from Electrolux called Brushroll Clean Technology solves the problem with the touch of a button. This new feature is particularly popular with the latest Ergorapido model, selling now for around $150. It’s a slender stick vacuum with the ability to instantly pick up long hair, matted clumps, thread fibers, and TheRentersGuide.ca any kind of pet hair – and it can be converted into a detachable hand vacuum for crevices and tight corners. Better still, he says, the Ergorapido is cordless (with a rechargeable battery) and is really light to carry. At only 2.4 kilograms and with 180-degree swivel power, you can take it anywhere to easily vacuum under TheRentersGuide.ca couches, beds and kitchen stools.

Remove the stains: • Tackle spills immediately if possible. Blot or scrape the entire area first.

• Before using any cleaning solution, test your carpet for discolouration in an inconspicuous spot. Don’t rub or you could spread the problem.

• In an emergency, a teaspoon of mild detergent mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar in a bowl of warm water will deal with stains as alcohol, chocolate, coffee, fruit stains, gravy, soft drinks, urine, and blood.

Clean: TheRentersGuide.ca • Read the label of a carpet cleaning product for suitability and follow the instructions. Move furniture out and use single, one-way strokes across the pile for best results. NC

décor

A small touch can make a big

décor difference

N

ow may not be the right time to give your home the top-to-bottom makeover of your dreams.

But there are many smaller things you can do, especially in kitchens and bathrooms that will make a big difference for a small investment.

A change of colour on walls, for example. One trend at the moment is a new neutral – green.

Avoid extreme tones, and you’ll find that green works well with other colours, and certainly gives a fresh look to your home.

Then you can add a stylish trolley cart or shelving to your bathroom. There are many to choose from in an abundance of styles and sizes. Extra storage space will tidy up bathroom clutter, and will start you thinking about another way to bring style and glamour into your home – decorative hardware.

It’s so simple, and not at all expensive to replace your old cabinet hardware, the drawer and door knobs and pulls, or bathroom hardware and coat hooks, with something that looks and works better. Done right, it brings a new look to your home, co-ordinated from room to room.

Choose a brand that offers product depth – Amerock, for example. If you fall in love with one of their styles you’ll find it’s available in many product shapes, sizes and finishes, even hard-tofind, oversize items.

The latest of the new finishes are two metallic finishes.

Caramel Bronze has a glow all its own, TheRentersGuide.ca rich and coppery. The second, Brushed Bronze, plays up the silver and gold tones in any room.

quicktips

Give your child an inviting space to study

• Animals – For the child who is crazy about animals, select wallpaper, posters and prints featuring those they are most interested in. Whether inspired by the jungle or a favorite stuffed toy, animals can, with a child’s imagination, turn into pleasing imaginary playmates.

• Sports – Sports enthusiasts of both sexes will enjoy having mementoes of their favorite sports, whether in the form of trophies, room accessories or team pennants. Skates that have been outgrown can become decorative elements on shelves. For the child who developed a passion for rowing, oars painted in bright colours can be transformed into wall décor.

• Gardens – Stencil, paint or glue flowers on lamps, headboards and walls to help recreate the natural beauty of an outdoor garden inside the room.

A

long with a fresh pack of crayons and pristine notebooks, your children will likely appreciate a fresh look for their rooms. Sally Morse is the director of creative services for Hunter Douglas, a leading name in Canadian window treatments. Take a look at a few of her best tips to do a makeover easily: A special place – Since it’s important for your child to have a special space in his or her room dedicated to schoolwork, you can use moldings, a screen, or even a curtain to separate the space from the rest of the room. A closet may even be converted into a study area with storage transferred to an armoire or under-the-bed containers. Wherever the study area is, make sure it is equipped with a good work surface and outlets for a computer and task lamp.

Create an appealing atmosphere – Take a cue from your child’s special interests to select a theme for decorating their room and creating an inviting setting TheRentersGuide.ca they’ll look forward to spending time in. Some examples: • Ocean - If your child thought their vacation at the beach was pure heaven, they can return there in memory with a beach-themed-bedroom. Use watery blues on the walls and sand-coloured floors. Wallpapers, posters TheRentersGuide.ca and prints with beach scenes also add to the seashore setting.

• Stars and moonlight – A little night owl will enjoy seeing the planets on the ceiling and perhaps a few shooting stars that decoratively land on walls and furniture. Natural light can be transformed with the right window treatment to help create an ethereal mood across the room.

Sleep tight – Be sure your child can sleep soundly with window treatments that block out the light and noise. Hunter Douglas, for example, offers an array of light-blocking designs and all of its window treatments are rated for sound absorption.

Be safe – Above all else your child’s room needs to be a safe haven. Use window guards and safety netting to help prevent falls, corner and edge bumpers to prevent injuries from sharp edges and outlet plugs to prevent electrical shocks. On the window fashions, minimize the safety hazards of operating cords with the LiteRise cordless TheRentersGuide.ca operating system.

etting your little ones to eat and enjoy mushrooms can be harder than it sounds. With this fabulous burrito style treat, your kids will be asking for “more mushrooms please”. Preparation is quick and easy, and offers a great opportunity to get your kids cooking with mushrooms.

PreParation time: 12 minutes Cooking time: 33 minutes serves: 6 ingredients: 8 oz (250 g) pre-sliced fresh Mushrooms 1 medium onion 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil or vegetable oil, divided 8 oz (250 g) lean ground chicken 1 clove garlic 1can (7.5oz/213 mL) tomato sauce 1 can (14 oz /398 mL) beans in tomato sauce 1-1½ tbsp (15-22 mL) chili powder ½ tsp (2 mL) cumin powder 6 large (10-inch/25 cm) tortillas 1/2 (200g) block cheddar cheese Pinch hot red pepper flakes (optional) diPPing sauCe: ½ cup (125 mL) low fat sour cream ½ cup (125 mL) mild, medium or hot salsa direCtions: • On cutting board stack two mushrooms slices one on top of the other; with sharp knife slice crosswise into narrow short strips; repeat with remaining mushrooms; set aside. With sharp knife cut onion in half on cutting board, place flat side down and cut in both directions to coarsely chop.

• Add 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil to skillet and place on burner; turn to medium high heat. Add ground chicken and with large spoon stir while cooking TheRentersGuide.ca (about three minutes) to break up into small pieces.

Stir in onion and mushrooms; crush garlic into pan and continue cooking and stirring until lightly browned, about five minutes. Stir in beans with sauce, tomato sauce, 1 tbsp(15 mL) chili powder, TheRentersGuide.ca cumin and hot red pepper flakes if desired.

• Lower heat to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally eight to 10 minutes or until very thick. Turn off burner and move skillet to a cold burner.

Taste and add more chili powder if desired.

Preheat oven to 400º (220ºC). On cutting board cut cheese into 30 cubes.

Lay tortillas on counter; spoon a half cup filling on to the bottom third of each tortilla, leaving a one-inch border; arrange five cubes of cheese on top each one. Fold the bottom of tortilla over filling and fold the sides in to seal filling. Roll up tightly from bottom to enclose completely.

Using pastry brush lightly coat baking pan with one tsp oil and place rolled tortillas, seam side down on the pan. Brush remaining oil on tops and sides of filled tortillas.

Place baking pan in middle of oven; bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom. If desired turn on broiler for two to three minutes to crisp and brown the tops.

Cool four to five minutes; mix sour cream and salsa in small serving dish.

Using serrated knife cut tortilla rolls in half diagonally. Serve with dipping sauce.

Colourful Chalkboard paint at home lets your creative side go wild

G

one are the days of boring black and green chalkboard paint. New formulas allow a choice of almost any colour imaginable. It was Benjamin Moore that started this paint colour innovation now available in nearly 2,500 colours.

“I can’t think of anything more fun than a colourful chalkboard finish that lets you write your own prose right on the surface,” says Sharon Grech, the colour and design expert for the paint company. “We offer a latex paint, tintable to any colour that turns virtually any interior surface into a chalkboard. It is easy to apply; it dries in a matter of hours to a durable eggshell finish; it’s easy to clean and fully washable. This specialized paint is formulated to minimize any lingering odours, making it ideal for a child’s playroom, bedroom, or even the kitchen as a message centre for shopping lists and household reminders.”

TheRentersGuide.ca

Anywhere in the home, let your creativity go wild with chalkboard paint, like this: In the kitchen: Create a menu board to map out your meals for the week. Let the kids get creative with a

chalkboard table top – perfect for doodling while dinner is being prepared.

For entertaining: Transform a plain serving tray into a cheese platter – just make sure you place the food on parchment paper first. Or, personalize mugs or wine glasses to avoid germ-filled mix-ups.

In the bedroom: Dressers can be labeled to keep clothes organized; or add an accent colour to the outside or inside of closet doors.

In the pantry: Keep it neat and organized by labeling areas where cleaning supplies, laundry supplies and dry goods are stored. Write inspirational messages to keep people whistling while they work.

In the front entrance: Paint an accent wall or foyer and scribe warm salutations and doodles to welcome guests into the home. The best part is the versatility. You can add chalk when desired for a playful feel, or simply wipe clean for a more sophisticated look that lets the gorgeous colour take centre stage.

More ideas on how to use tintable chalkboard paint can be found online at BenjaminMoore.ca or at your local TheRentersGuide.ca retailer. NC

Beyond the product:

The new consumer transaction

W

hether it’s buying morning coffee, getting a haircut or purchasing movie tickets, consumers want greater flexibility in paying for goods and services.

The number of credit and debit card transactions continues to increase, however payment with a physical card may soon be a thing of the past. In a connected world where smartphone and tablet usage continues to rise, this presents a shift in the way traditional payments are being accepted.

According to Pivotal Payments, one of Canada’s leading payment processing companies, businesses both big and small can have a competitive edge by offering mobile payment options that are flexible and cater to their customers’ changing needs.

“We’ve seen rapid growth of mobile payment applications due to the solution’s affordability, security and universality,” said Shaun McDonald, vice president, Product and Project Management of Pivotal Payments.“Mobile payments allow merchants traditionally unwilling to accept credit cards to expand their payment options.”

With the use of a small card reader, merchants owning an iPhone, Android or BlackBerry device can easily accept credit cards at a relatively low cost. Some see this as a stop-gap between the use of physical credit cards and mobile wallets.

In the case of mobile wallets, a consumer’s own smartphone becomes the payment source, with an application that stores their credit card information. As consumer behaviour evolves and accepts these new technologies, it will usher in a new era TheRentersGuide.ca of payment processing where an actual credit card may not necessarily be required to make what we now consider a credit card purchase.

quicktips

Make paint supply

shopping easier

A

ll painting projects begin the same way – with a trip to the hardware store or home centre to gather supplies. Before you head out, treat this shopping trip like you would one to the grocery store – by making a list of the items you need.

Since you’re going to need much more than paint and a paintbrush, take the guesswork out of supply shopping with this helpful shopping list.

• Paint – find a shade that’s perfect for your personality and style by bringing home a few samples. Paint different sections of the wall and live with them for a few days to determine which one is the right colour for your room.

• Roller cover – choose roller cover appropriate for the job. For drywall or plaster, use covers designed for smooth to semi-smooth surfaces. Different types of paint (latex or oil) also need different rollers.

• Painter’s tape – helps to keep clean lines as you cut in or paint trim. Use a high-quality tape that’s trusted by the pros like a brand called Painter’s Mate Green tape. It will help you attain professional painting precision without the professional contractor price.

• Brush – available in various sizes, brushes help to cut in walls and paint trim; angled options perform better for detailed work. Don’t skimp on the brush; a quality brush applies paint smoothly and evenly.

• Primer – use a primer to seal the walls so that paint covers smoothly and evenly. There are now paints with primer already in them, which can help save time.

• Drop cloths and plastic sheeting – good to protect your flooring, carpet and furniture while you’re painting.

• Stir stick – make sure to ask the paint desk for stir sticks; it’s always a good idea to stir paint and/or primer before you begin.

• Pour spout – helps to pour paint with less mess and keeps the can clean and label directions visible.

• Roller tray and liner– you’ll need a tray to dip your roller and brush into. Disposable liners allow for the tray to stay clean and be re-used.

• Screwdriver – when using paint in a metal can, this helps remove the lid.

By arming yourself with a helpful list, you’ll be sure to pick up everything you need – and eliminate a second, third or even fourth trip back to the store. More information is available online at www.
