EDITORS’ NOTES

e

veryone knows that real estate is about location, location, location.

Since it’s one of the biggest considerations you’re faced with when it comes to choosing a rental, just what are the critical things to consider when choosing a location?

There are so many personal variables it’s really up to you to decide. As an example, if it is just as important to you to be close to your children’s school as it is to your place of work, then look for a place that offers a balance between the two locations. If you own a car and want to use public transportation whenever possible to save on parking and gas costs, look for a well-connected mass transit location. If you’re a walker, close proximity to major amenities should be a definite consideration. Doing errands such as grocery shopping and banking on foot has many health benefits and gives you a chance to meet your neighbours and discover new places too.

Don’t let the cost of rent solely dictate your choice of location. Make a list of your personal priorities first and then take the time to assess each location for its merits and weigh your options. Unlike paint and decor, location is the one thing that you cannot change so it’s important to choose well.

d

o you love to entertain? Apartment living is perfect for you. It’s funny, I have friends complain all the time – I’d love to downsize, but a smaller place would limit my entertaining options. My apartment is too small to have groups of people over. Excuses, I say. All excuses.

It’s just about choosing the right community. Of course you could rent a big suite that would accommodate the extended guest list. There are definitely some gorgeous places out there – more like mansions in the sky – but if your budget isn’t as lofty as that dreamy penthouse, there are still a lot of options.

Rent in a building with a party room. For free – or a nominal cleaning fee – many communities offer party rooms. Often they come with great features such as a catering kitchen, fireplace, piano, stage, sound system, dance floor, outdoor terrace, television screens, seating and dining tables. You can throw catered affairs, big celebrations or dinner parties, have dancing and decorate.

It allows you to entertain beyond the capacity of your suite – plus no concerns about noise complaints from the neighbours! And, though still in the comfort of your own home, your personal possessions aren’t on display and you don’t have to worry about doing a deep clean.

Your party room is a great way to enjoy your home. Add amenities like screening rooms, guest suites and games rooms and you have more than just parties, you have entertaining options from card nights to movie screenings.

If you want to make the move, we’re here to help, whether it’s entertaining options or something more simple. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Greenwin The Oaks, change and opportunity Great value, great location and great amenities – that’s what you’ll find at The Oaks, a group of four buildings at 160, 170, 180 and 200 Chalkfarm Dr., at Jane and Wilson.

Location is key. Getting around the city and getting back home is easy from this location.

Close to Highways 401, 400, Black Creek and The Allen Expressway, the location is also key for commuters, with 24-hour bus service both north/south on Jane and east/west on Wilson.

The Downsview Subway Station is only a few stops away.

The area is appreciated by residents for its large selection of amenities. There’s a lot of shopping options, from groceries and the Sheridan Mall with all of the brand names, to independent shops that serve cultural and ethnic needs as well.

Businesses and services are all within walking distance to the community, as well as several schools, recreational facilities and more.

Downsview Park is a massive urban park, just to the east at Keele. With numerous activities and festivals, it also offers expanses of trails and greenery so you can enjoy a connection with nature. The park has hosted events like Pope John Paul II’s mass in 1994 and “SARSstock” in 2003, featuring superstars such as AC/DC and The Rolling Stones, and continues to host big-name concerts. It also includes sports facilities like baseball diamonds and indoor volleyball courts as well as other event venues.

The Oaks has a lot of amenities right on site.

Set in a green, tranquil environment, there is a convenience store, community gardens, a playground, outdoor swimming pool, basketball courts and each building has its own laundry.

Both outdoor and indoor parking are available, and the community is pet friendly, with a lot of great trails for walking the dog.

TheRentersGuide.ca Greenwin, a company known for their high standards of practice and commitment to customer service, took over ownership and management of The Oaks in 2009. As a way to TheRentersGuide.ca enhance the community, they’ve initiated a lot

8G

of community programming, accessible to all residents. The programming is designed to respond to the needs of the residents and improve lifestyle overall. Spider’s Web Youth Empowerment Initiative is one on-site facility offering a great amount of programming and mentoring for youth. From physical activity to homework help, all kids are welcome. There are parenting programs, seniors activities as well as social events like Dusk Dances and Chalkfarm Summerfest. There are also initiatives that keep the community involved, from building birdhouses with The Black Creek Conservation Project of Toronto to litter clean-up initiatives with the Toronto Police. As well, friendly and professional onsite staff are always available to assist residents whenever needed.

The suites at The Oaks are updated and offer modern appliances, with a surprising amount of storage and closet space. Bachelors, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments feature generous bedrooms. Many have eat-in kitchens and all offer spacious living areas and great windows that take advantage of an amazing view, with balconies that offer a perfect outdoor retreat. Greenwin has invested in updating the suites and building, offering a contemporary feel and comfortable home. Greenwin has done a tremendous amount of rejuvenating and revitalizing the community in its tenure and The Oaks has a lot to offer.

Downsview North York’s west-side

by Ivan Sandoval

T

he area of Downsview encompasses a large part of western North York. Several different rental apartment communities have developed here due to the area’s higher plateaus, meandering creeks and excellent transportation routes across the top of the city. Jane and TheRentersGuide.ca Wilson is a prominent part of the community. Here, apartment properties both large and small have converged around a shopping mall, ravine, several parkettes and a couple of highways to make for comfortable renting.

TheRentersGuide.ca 12G

The Area Jane and Wilson is located right where Highways 400, 401 and Black Creek Drive meet. This integral crossroads of major routes bodes well for Jane and Wilson renters, and is one of the reasons for its rental popularity. Just to the east, Allen Expressway offers a quick route into midtown, while Highway 427 is just TheRentersGuide.ca to the west, making travel around and beyond the GTA quite easily accessible.

TheRentersGuide.ca

As well, the TTC stops right in front of many of the properties with service to York University, Seneca college Jane Campus and south to Jane Subway Station. The 24-hour service is quite convenient.

Just north of Jane/Wilson, we find a set of uniquely designed rental apartment buildings located around Exbury Road. Interestingly, they were built in 1967 to coincide with Canada’s Centennial celebrations. Architect Uno Prii’s daring design of the buildings have actually afforded them to be designated ‘historical’ by the municipal government for their contribution to architecture within the City of Toronto.

The Jane and Wilson area includes several thin-strip, ravine parks such as Downsview Dells, which follows a scenic 4.7 km paved trail up Black Creek to Black Creek Pioneer Village. This is a great living history museum where pioneer days are given authentic reenactment in the original historic buildings on site. Other parkettes like Chalkfarm, Heathrow and Giovanni Caboto surround the apartment properties and include open green spaces amongst massive weeping willows that overhang over newer-built children’s playgrounds. Schools, recreational facilities and sports fields can be found throughout the area. Downsview Park is also very close. It’s got a fresh farmer’s market, trails for running, biking, roller blading or just taking a stroll. The indoor beach volleyball courts keep summer alive all year long. The area has a lot of summer events and festivals, and being one of the largest urban parks, it offers a great spot for urbanites to get back to nature and enjoy getting away from the city without having to leave the city!

Shopping Right on the northwest corner of Jane and Wilson, we find the North York Sheridan Mall. This indoor shopping centre not only includes clothing retail and lots of businesses, services and restaurants, but also the Black Creek Public Library.

Right beside Sheridan Mall, a grocery provides competitively priced groceries for locals, as does the grocery located across the street at the York Plaza. Here, on the southwest corner, a pharmacy and several banks flank a developing retail property that also includes some discount clothing outlets.

Living around Jane/Wilson Affordability and great property management are two key factors in renting around Jane and Wilson, which attract both families and students alike. Larger-sized apartments and larger-sized balconies afford great views of Black Creek and its valleys, Oakdale Golf and Country Club and in some instances, the Toronto skyline in the distance.

Mellow yellow

to liven up in 2014 CIL Paint Unveils “Creamy” as 2014 Colour of the Year They may call it mellow yellow, but it will liven up homes in 2014. That’s because mellow yellow is the hottest colour for 2014, expected to take the spotlight in all areas of interior décor, says leading Canadian paint brand CIL paint.

“Next year’s stand out colour can best be described as a butter cream yellow, a warm pastel shade that has a fullness to it, but is still light enough to act as a neutral,” said Alison Goldman, brand manager for CIL paint, a brand of PPG Architectural Coatings, announcing Creamy (50YY 77/285) as the brand’s 2014 colour of the year.

“It’s a soft, buttery colour that emits a feeling of calm, tranquility and renewal,” Goldman said, explaining that people today continue to look for new directions to retreat from our busy, connected lives, and mellow yellow creates a stable environment in which to pause and refresh.“It’s a very easy-to-live-with colour, continuously delivering a ray of warmth no matter what the weather outside.”

Because creamy yellow is so versatile, it is easily incorporated into any décor, Goldman explained. She offers these suggestions on how to bring next year’s hottest colour into your home.

Room to grow: Besides calming our minds, butter cream yellows are said to positively impact our overall wellbeing. Reminiscent of flowers, the sun and summer, they make us happy and optimistic, and infuse us with a sense of quiet strength and order. Warm yellows are therefore a good choice for any room – from bedrooms and family rooms, to bathrooms, kitchens and dining areas, highlighted both on the walls and through accessories like pillows, throw TheRentersGuide.ca rugs and décor items.

Make a match: Since warm yellow is an adaptable, soft hue, it works extremely well when paired with other colours.

Good combinations include brights of a TheRentersGuide.ca similar saturation level as well as citrus

colours, blues, purples and greens. CIL suggests Sweet Sandy (90YR 55/266) orange, Falling Rain (30BG 56/097) blue, and Pine Forest Green (10GY 29/158) green as top combo picks.

Stay Neutral: Being a warm neutral, creamy yellow also works well with other warm neutrals, such as taupes, soft browns and light greys. In fact, Goldman explained that warm neutrals from all colour families – including Chinchilla White (10YY 46/041) taupe, Brown study (00YY 12/173) brown and West Coast Grey (50BG 38/011) grey – top the colour chart for 2014. For added richness and depth, paint the year’s hottest neutrals in rooms accented with wood or leather furniture.

Other popular CIL colour choices for 2014 are greens Green Grove (70YY 18/152) and Triton Green (50GG 11/251), blues Chelsea Blue (50BG 41/312) and Indian Bead (70BG 31/332) Falling Rain (30BG 56/097), oranges Dramatic Coral (70YR 49/332) and Salmon Pink (60YR 59/261), reds Lover’s Knot (90RR 55/138), and purples Silhouette (70BB 28/0080) and Victorian Violet (88BB 11/331).

For more information about CIL paint’s Colour of the Year, or to view its full 2014 palette, visit www.cil.ca .

About CIL Paint Available in Canada at The Home Depot, Walmart, Rona and other independent paint dealers, CIL paint has been a trusted brand in businesses, communities, schools and homes across the country for 85 years. With more than 1,200 colours in its palette, CIL paint has developed a colour mood system that guarantees a perfect match across a wide spectrum of colours.

Mellow yellow is the hottest colour for 2014, expected to take the spotlight in all areas of interior décor, says CIL paint. Pictured on the walls of these rooms is CIL’s Creamy (50YY 77/285), named the brand’s 2014 colour of the year.

How to prepare

for the unexpected when moving

by Dan Hopkins

M

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

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

For example, if you move in the winter and it’s a snowy, slushy day, how do you protect the floors from water/salt damage at both ends? What about getting large items around hard-to-maneuver corners without marking walls? What if someone gets hurt? Do you know how to pack delicate items like lamp shades and glassware to eliminate shifting and potential breakage during a long haul? What if the truck breaks down or gets into an accident halfway to your new home?

Professional movers have resources to draw upon to anticipate and handle any number of unexpected happenings. Training is a great preventative measure – when you shop for a mover, find out if and how the drivers and moving people are trained. Ask whether they have a “Plan B” in case of vehicle problems, and what you can do to be as prepared as possible when the packing/moving begins.

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

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

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

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

Of course, there are specialty items that require an unusual level of care – pianos, pool tables, grandfather clocks, artwork, antiques and the like. The money you think you’ll save by not hiring a professional mover may end up being spent on repairs if these large and valuable pieces are not handled correctly. Worse yet, TheRentersGuide.ca irreplaceable items may be lost forever.

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

Dan Hopkins is chief operating officer, Two Men and a TruckTheRentersGuide.ca Canada. For more information visit the website at twomenandatruck.ca

Types of Tenants’ Insurance you can buy – and what they cover

L

andlords have relatively few legal obligations to compensate tenants for damage to – or loss of – their personal possessions. Tenants, on the other hand, are responsible for the harm they may cause to any part of the building in which they live or to others who live or visit there. | Coverages | Each insurance company packages tenants’ insurance policies differently, or calls the products by different names, but they all (should) include two kinds of coverage – Basic Liability coverage and Contents coverage.

Basic Liability coverage protects you if you or your guests cause damage to the building – whether it be your unit or the whole building. If you don’t have TheRentersGuide.ca this protection and you are sued for the repair costs, you could be financially responsible for the whole bill. This coverage is comparable to the liability coverage in a typical homeowners’ policy.

TheRentersGuide.ca

58G

Contents coverage replaces your belongings if they are lost or damaged. You may think you have little of value, but you would be very surprised how much it would cost you to replace everything – all at once. You should insure for an amount representing the new replacement cost of all your belongings. Coverage is on a named perils or an all risk basis. Named perils means your insurance covers only those perils, such as fire and theft, that are specifically named in the insurance policy. All risk means your insurance covers loss or damage resulting from numerous miscellaneous causes.

For more information talk to your insurance representative about your tenants’ insurance needs.

The Insurance Bureau of Canada offers information for consumers to help make them aware of their insurance needs and assist them in understanding the types of insurance available. They are the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90 per cent TheRentersGuide.ca of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada.

Communication

Is Key In Good Landlord / Tenant Relationships

By ted whitehead Being an educated consumer is wise these days, and when shopping for a rental apartment, there are many things to look for that indicate your choice is a good one.

Your most powerful tool is communication – before, during and after you make your decision and move in.

You can tell a lot about an apartment building from your first visit to inquire about vacancies.

Are you greeted by friendly, polite, cordial office staff? When you ask questions – and you should ask many – do you receive satisfactory answers?

Is the rental office clean and organized, and can the staff members produce requested documents quickly? Pleasant interaction with staff is important on a day-to-day basis.

How you are treated at the outset reflects how you will be treated once you are a tenant.

“Tenants want professional and courteous property management staff, and in turn the latter group is looking for good, responsive tenants,” says Charlesy Brunne, Director of Operations - GTA for Minto Apartment limited “The CRBP ensures that each property manager has effective two-way communication policies and processes in place.”

When you move in, your building manager should provide you with information on how to make general inquiries/complaints, and how to make maintenance requests. If they do not provide you with this information readily, then ask them to explain to you what policies they have in place for dealing with these types of general tenant inquires.

If they cannot articulate to you clearly what their complaint/maintenance request policies are, then you may want to raise a red flag about whether this is a place where you want to make your apartment home. Apartment buildings in the CRB program must have clearly documented policies and procedures in place for dealing with tenant inquiries (of any nature) and for dealing tenant requests for maintenance. Additionally they must be able to clearly demonstrate that they respond to all inquiries with two business days or less. The CRB program treats effective two-way communication between property managers and their tenants as integral part of its program.

For example, if you make a verbal inquiry for a repair, you should be able to expect owners and property managers to respond within two business days. If the repair involves the landlord or property manager entering the apartment, there must be written notice given at least 24 hours before the time of entry, which should be scheduled between 8am and 8pm, unless there is an emergency or if the tenant gives TheRentersGuide.ca the landlord permission to enter ahead of time.

If you receive no response, according to the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act, you should put your request in writing, date it and keep a copy. Then, if you have had no response in a reasonable time, call a municipal building inspector to look into repairs.

Keep a copy of the inspector’s report for your files.

TheRentersGuide.ca 66G

If the repair still isn’t completed, you can contact the Investigation and Enforcement Unit. If this step does not resolve the problem, contact your lawyer, municipal Councillor or Community Legal Clinic. It is possible that you can apply for a rent reduction on the basis of the repair not being done, therefore representing a reduction of services in your apartment.

The best results happen when staff members respond to your inquiry or request promptly and efficiently.

This is the kind of professionalism required of the managers and/or landlords of buildings that complete the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) successfully. CRBP was created by the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) to help ensure a high quality of life for tenants in certified buildings.

It all comes down to respect for each other. Landlords have to respect tenants’ privacy, and tenants have to respect the tremendous responsibility that landlords have to keep the building safe and well maintained. The CRBP covers this topic thoroughly.

You can find the Residential Tenancies Act at www.ontariotenants.ca/law/act. phtml and at www.frpo.org and www. crbprogram.org Ted Whitehead is Director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program at the Federation of Rental-housing Providers TheRentersGuide.ca of Ontario – FRPO

Electrical Safety Authority reminds everyone to

“LOOK WHILE YOU COOK” TO PREVENT KITCHEN FIRES Ontario Electrical Safety Report findings support Fire Prevention Week’s focus on preventing kitchen fires EACH YEAR THERE ARE AN AVERAGE OF MORE THAN 700 electric stove-top fires in homes across the province according to a recent report released by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). While the number of incidents has decreased in the last decade by 35 per cent, the Ontario Electrical Safety Report reveals that more than 130 Ontarians are hurt and three are killed each year on average due to cooking fires.

The leading cause of these fires is leaving a stove-top unattended while cooking and the data show that certain kinds of stoves increase the risk.

“Traditional electric stoves with coil elements can heat up to a much higher temperature - more than 700 degrees Celsius - than gas and other types of electric stoves,” explains ESA’s Chief Public Safety Officer Scott Saint.“If you have this kind of appliance, it’s critical to take extra care. Regardless of what kind of stove you have, always ‘look while you cook’.”

•

QUICK FACTS:

•

More than 700 residential electric stove-top fires occur each year on average in Ontario.

•

The leading cause is cooking left unattended.

•

Cooking-related fires continue to be the most common type of residential electrical fire

•

Cooking equipment has been identified as the leading source of preventable home injuries, and the second leading source of preventable residential fire fatalities.

•

Stove-top fires account for the majority of cooking fires. Other causes include products such as ovens, microwaves and electric frying pans.

•

Approved cooking products bear the symbol of a certified product testing agency that has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. Go to www.esasafe.com/ TheRentersGuide.ca electricalproducts/marks to view these symbols.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week focuses on kitchen fires, and ESA is joining the Fire Marshal’s Office to encourage all Ontarians to remember these tips to cook safely: Stay in the kitchen and look while you cook!

Keep children away from hot stove-tops.

Drink responsibly when cooking.

If a fire occurs, get out immediately and call 911.

For more information on how to prevent kitchen fires, go to www.esasafe.com.

The annual Ontario Electrical Safety Report has been produced by the ESA for more than a decade to provide a comprehensive assessment of electrical fatalities and incidents in Ontario. Based on information from various sources, including investigations and root-cause analysis, the data allows ESA to direct resources where they are needed and where safety challenges are greatest.

The Electrical Safety Authority TheRentersGuide.ca The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) is an administrative authority acting on behalf of the Government of Ontario with specific responsibilities under the Electricity Act and the Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act. As part of its mandate, ESA is responsible for administering regulation in four key areas: the Ontario Electrical Safety Code; licensing of Electrical Contractors and Master Electricians; electrical distribution TheRentersGuide.ca safety; and electrical product safety.

Choosing

the right landlord Six tips from an industry insider

By Sheryl Erenberg

2 3 4 5

T

here are a lot of choices out there. Here are six tips from Marketing Consultant Sheryl Erenberg, who specializes in rental communities:

1

How attractive is the exterior of the building?

TheRentersGuide.ca We call this “curb appeal” in the industry.

Are the grounds kept? Are the hedges trimmed? Is the grass cut and are the flower beds planted? Is the building sign visible and up to date? If the property looks neglected, the chances are good that TheRentersGuide.ca tenants will be too!

72G

6

Finding the person who does rentals It shouldn’t be an obstacle course or an episode of CSI to get from the parking lot to the person who rents apartments. We call this “The Golden Path” to the product. The “path” should be clean, welllit and have plenty of signs along the way. Ideally, a sign above the enterphone panel should tell you who to call.

First impressions are important Are you made to feel welcome when you arrive? How hard is the person representing the building trying to assist you? Encourage you to rent? If they are distracted or unpleasant would you want to live there? Trust your instincts.

Watch and listen to how the staff interact with one another Do they appear to be working as a team? Listen to the radio chatter if you have the chance. Is the conversation between employees pleasant? Professional? A lot can be learned about the landlord by who they choose to represent them and how they train/motivate their employees.

Yes, you can predict the future!

If, while they are with you, the staff come in contact with an existing tenant, listen carefully to their tone of voice, their willingness to assist that customer and watch their body language. Do they know tenants by name when they meet them in the building?

How effectively do they handle complaints? This could be you next month or next year!

The lobby test After your visit, sit in the lobby and do an informal survey by asking passing/waiting tenants how long they’ve lived at the property and whether they would recommend it. A good sample for your survey is five to seven people.

Gen Y: don’t love budgeting?

Some tips to make it more loveable Two-thirds of young Canadians don’t track expenses With a plethora of online budgeting tools available, the habit of tracking spending should be a fairly straightforward routine to get into. However, this is not the case for Gen Y; while they have embraced the importance of saving, they are slower to embrace the habit of tracking where their money goes each week, month and year. According to new research from TD Canada Trust, more than half (55 per cent) of Gen Y save at least 10 per cent of each paycheque, but in contrast, 66 per cent either do not have a budget or do not follow the one they created. This helps explain why Gen Y says they are most likely to overspend on entertainment (48 per cent), snacks (41 per cent), fashion (38 per cent) TheRentersGuide.ca and tech gadgets (29 per cent).

“Budgeting is the key to battling the habit of overspending,” said Raymond Chun, senior vice president, TD Canada Trust.“Cash flow clarity is essential TheRentersGuide.ca to gaining control of where your money is going and ultimately reaching

76G

financial goals. Just like building an exercise routine, it’s tough to start, but eventually becomes easier and more automatic.”

Building a budget can be as simple as tracking income against expenses, and following Chun’s simple tips, it doesn’t have to be a chore.

1. Create a Budget Template “There’s a misconception that budgets mean complex spreadsheets - this doesn’t have to be the case with a personal monthly budget,” said Chun.“An effective budget can be as simple as a sheet of paper with two columns: one for money coming in and one for money going out.”

The key to developing a good template is to allow space to capture all income and expenses in any given month, including discretionary spending.

The ‘money out’ column should allow space for everything from monthlyTheRentersGuide.ca rent and living expenses down to snacks and miscellaneous spends.

‘Money in’ should capture any incoming funds like paycheques and government rebates.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Example: Date: October 1, 2013 Money In Money Out Paycheque: $__.__ Breakfast: $__.__ Provincial sales tax rebate: $__.__

Rent: $__.__ Birthday gift: $__.__ Transit Pass: $__.__ Groceries: $__.__ Dinner with friends: $__.__ RRSP Contribution: $__.__

2. Track your Spending “Once you have a template in place, track every single expense,” says Chun.

“A great starting point is to take advantage of virtual tools that are already tracking spending - like online debit or credit card statements - and then build on anything additional that’s not tracked online.

At the end of the month, all the documented expenses simply need to be categorized into essential and non-essential expenses.

“However you track your spending, the goal is to have a full picture of how and where money is being spent,” says Chun.“It can be surprising to some to see how non-essential spending can really add up, but the clarity helps in finding out where adjustments are needed.”

3. Review Spending Habits With spending habits in hand, it’s time to see if changes should be made.

While fixed expenses like rent and transportation may not change, look closely at discretionary categories like entertainment, eating out and shopping. Set a maximum monthly spend for each category and, if this results in a surplus at the end of the month, consider putting it towards a savings account or paying down debt.

4. Repeat, repeat, repeat As with any strong routine, getting into the habit through repetition is key.

It is important to review the budget each month, especially if income or lifestyle changes take place.

“Always push yourself on whether it’s possible to put more money towards savings,” said Chun. “Life and circumstances are ever-changing, and a monthly budget will reflect this. The good news is, once a regular habit of budgeting has been adopted, making changes will be a piece of cake.”

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

Pumpkin Cheesecake with Praline Sauce

Directions Set a rack over a baking sheet and line the rack with two layers of paper towels. Spread the pumpkin purée over the paper towels and let drain for two hours, until the purée is fairly dry.

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Butter the bottom and side of a nine-inch springform pan. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until finely ground. Add the pecans and brown sugar and pulse again until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse just until incorporated. Press the crumbs onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for about six minutes, just until it is fragrant and lightly browned. Let the crust cool completely.

In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the cream cheese until it is very smooth. In a small bowl, whisk the sugar with the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. With the machine on, add the spiced sugar to the cream cheese and beat until creamy, scraping the bottom and side of the bowl repeatedly. Carefully add the drained pumpkin puree and beat until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well and scraping down the bowl between each addition. Beat in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and vanilla until the cheesecake mixture is smooth.

l

uscious and creamy, this decadent recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake with Praline Sauce is a delicious combination of cream, sugar, eggs, pumpkin purée with an intoxicating blend of traditional pumpkin pie spices: ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice. Once it’s baked, the cheesecake is then topped with a sweet buttery pecan praline topping. The key to this dessert’s success is threefold: draining the pumpkin purée on paper towel at the beginning, so it’s as thick as possible; ensuring that the cream cheese, eggs and cream are at room temperature before starting; and finally, beating the cheesecake mixture thoroughly so that the final result is lighter than air. Rest assured, the extra effort pays off. This Pumpkin Cheesecake is very light, not heavy at all, and wonderfully delicious. I’ll wager that you’ll never make a Pumpkin Pie again. As a final flourish, a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of homemade Cinnamon Ice Cream, would be pretty hard to resist!

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and bake for 12 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 225°F and bake the cheesecake for about three hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 150°F; the centre will be very jiggly but not liquidy. Let the cheesecake cool on a rack, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Run a hot knife around the cheesecake and loosen the springform ring. Carefully remove the ring and transfer the cake to a plate.

Using a warm knife, cut the cake into wedges and serve with the Pecan Praline Topping and a scoop of Cinnamon Ice Cream.

ingredients Serves 12 1 15-oz can pumpkin puree, equal to 1 3/4 cups 8 whole graham crackers, broken 1/2 cup pecans TheRentersGuide.ca 1 tbsp light brown sugar 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted plus more for greasing the pan 14-oz cream cheese, at room temperature 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp salt TheRentersGuide.ca 1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp ground allspice 5 large eggs, at room temperature 1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 2 tsp pure vanilla extract Whipped Cream, for serving (optional) Pecan Praline Topping Cinnamon Ice Cream

Just Starting Out? Renting is Your Best Choice

By Jane Herman

TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

It’s a time of life where people start thinking about buying a home, but if you’re a young single, a freshly-at-work professional, or a recently married couple, and you’re wondering what to do, there are many good reasons why you should choose to rent TheRentersGuide.ca instead of buying your first residence.

TheRentersGuide.ca

84G

At this stage of your life, you may be finishing up your education, paying off student loans, or just beginning your first job(s). It’s not likely that you will have even accumulated enough cash to use as a down payment. One of the many advantages renting has over home ownership, is that there is no large down payment to be paid up front. You only have to come up with your first and last month’s rent.

And despite the message of real estate marketers who try to convince you that you can own a condominium or home for the same price as renting, here’s the truth: renting is always substantially less than owning. While it is possible that monthly mortgage payments might be comparable to what you’d pay to rent, as an owner you will also have to pay property taxes, all maintenance expenses (either monthly maintenance payments in a condo, or all costs of repairs and maintenance from appliance repairs, to landscaping, snow shoveling, etc. in a house). Many apartments include utilities or hydro in the rent, and when owning you would also have to pay an additional amount for these services. What about insurance? Tenants’ insurance is always less expensive than the cost of insuring your own home.

At this stage of your life, flexibility is most important because you are very likely to move again within the next three to five years, either to take another job, go back to school, or because your family is growing and your needs are changing. It’s much easier to make a move when your only obligation is a one-year lease.

TheRentersGuide.ca The hassle and expense of having to sell your home would unnecessarily complicate any career move.

Some bankers and real estate professionals will try to convince you that with renting you’re not building equity. But when you factor in all the hidden costs of buying and selling real estate, from commissions, to legal fees to land transfer taxes, etc. , the reality is that no condo or house is going to appreciate that much in the short term to offset those hidden costs.

If you are lucky enough to actually have enough cash accumulated to use as a down payment on a house, keep it in a secure two or three year term investment with a good return.

When you run the numbers you will be much further ahead three years down the road than if you had invested it in a condo.

The other good reason for renting at this stage of your life is that renting can offer all of the benefits of living in a prime neighbourhood – one that you likely couldn’t afford to buy in – such as convenience to transportation, shopping, recreation facilities, etc., along with condoquality amenities such as fitness

facilities, concierge, indoor/outdoor pools, etc. decorating upgrades, spectacular kitchens and bathrooms, etc. at a price that won’t leave you cash-strapped. With renting, you’ll be able to save a little every month, for emergencies, travel, retirement, or have a little more disposable income for furniture, a car, clothing, and entertainment, which is also important to you.

When you consider all the advantages that renting affords, you’ll see that your dream home is really an apartment!

New fabrics

make roller shades sensational

T

he first window covering you bought, as a student or maybe a young married, was doubtless a roller shade. It most likely came in a limited range of colours, but cost a very few dollars and, if you treated it well, provided the needed privacy for many years. That’s still true of some roller shades, but not all.

“At Levolor, we have been seeing a steady increase in the use of roller shades, especially in urban condo spaces,” says Mike Muyal, director of marketing for the company. “We expect this trend to accelerate in the fall, with the new fabric collections.

Now, we truly have something for everyone – sheer and solid, woven and natural, with many designer patterns in subtle shades and weaves. A clean, uncluttered, modern look with a matching valance or a cassette.”

SPENDERS and SAVERS can reach financial bliss

W

hen it comes to romantic relationships, the traditional thought is that opposites attract. However, personal finance experts say that couples with different attitudes towards money need to find a middle ground to achieve financial bliss.

“Many couples include a “spender” and a “saver”. The spender is the one who sees a sale and thinks they can buy more; whereas the saver thinks they will save more,” says Wade Stayzer, TheRentersGuide.ca the vice president of retail and investment services at Meridian, Ontario’s largest credit union. “While there appears to be a big divide between the spender and the saver TheRentersGuide.ca mind-sets, these couples can still be

successful with their family finances if they find and agree to ways that will align their approaches to money.

Financial planning is the key.”

Meridian offers this advice on how spender/saver couples can get on the path to financial success: Sort Out Financial Differences: Talk, don’t fight, about your different approaches to money. Figure out how much you spend and where the money is going. Acknowledge who the spender is and who the saver is, and agree to compromise.

Set Goals: Find common goals and discuss what your individual goals are. Whether it’s getting out of debt, or saving for retirement and the children’s education, setting goals will help you prioritize and focus on what’s really important.

Get a Personalized Financial Plan: To meet your established goals, you need to set up a budget and a financial plan. Consider seeking expert advice. Working with a trusted financial advisor to develop a personalized financial plan is like

Get Involved: Many times, there is one member of the family who regularly handles the finances.

Having both partners involved can be a major breakthrough and also makes sure the responsibility is being shared.

driving with a GPS system – you’ll reach your end goal faster and with less stress.

safety

Ensure that you wear oven mitts when removing cooking containers to avoid serious burns.

Wear close-fitting clothing that won’t catch on pot handles.

Turn pot handles inward to reduce the risk of accidentally overturning the pot and to prevent children from grabbing it.

Do not let children get closer than one meter (three feet) when you are cooking.

IBC safety tips

for fire Prevention Week This week is Fire PrevenTion week. recenT daTa shows on average, home fires account for 30 per cent of all fires and 73 per cent of all fire deaths causing millions of dollars in property damage in Canada. With these statistics, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) urges you to be mindful of fire prevention and safety.

“The winter season is the worst season for fires in Canada and many of these tragedies can been avoided,” says Amanda Dean, IBC’s Vice-President, Atlantic.

“Canadians should be informed of the simple measures that can be taken to prevent a devastating fire from occurring in their homes.“ This year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week is preventing kitchen fires. Kitchen fires due to cooking oil or grease igniting into flames cause the fastest-spreading and most destructive type of residential fire. When cooking with grease or oil, it is very important to plan ahead so you will know how to react fast to fire.

Here are a few kitchen safety tips to remember: Keep a pan lid or cookie sheet handy in case grease or oil catches fire. The lid or cookie sheet should be slid over the top of the pan to smother the fire.

Never attempt to move a flaming pot or pan away from the stove. The movement can TheRentersGuide.ca fan the flames and spread the fire.

Don’t leave anything cooking unattended. Turn off the stove even if you leave the room only for a few seconds.

Use a safety approved fryer.

TheRentersGuide.ca Keep your oven clean. Grease and food splatters can ignite at high temperatures.

Pre-planning and maintaining a fire safe environment helps to prevent fires from happening in your home and ensures you are better prepared to handle a fire emergency. An ounce of prevention and education can help save lives, homes and irreplaceable keepsakes. fire safety tips for the home: Check and maintain your smoke detectors. Replace batteries at least once a year around Daylight Savings Time.

Establish a fire evacuation plan. Practise your fire escape plan with all your family members.

In the event of house fire don’t waste a second, leave your house and call the fire department.

In the event of an apartment fire never use an elevator and always feel your door before exiting, if it is hot do not open it.

Be careful with electricity. Spot devices that are dangerous or in poor condition: flickering lamps, bare wires, open circuit breakers etc.

Give space heaters space. Leave at least one meter (three feet) between combustible materials and space heaters. about insurance Bureau of canada Insurance Bureau of Canada is the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90 per cent of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada. The P&C insurance industry employs over 118,600 Canadians, paysTheRentersGuide.ca more than $7 billion in taxes to the federal, provincial and municipal governments, and has a total premium base of $46 billion.

quicktips

Loyalty programs:

Five insider tips to maximize rewards According to Ken Wong, Queen’s School of Business, “even when a consumer can pinpoint their preferences and desired reward, there are still hundreds of programs available across the country competing for their favour. This can cause consumer confusion.”

With that in mind, below are five tips to help Canadians uncover which loyalty programs will get them the rewards they want, faster:

1. Maximize rewards earnings by selecting a loyalty program based on personal shopping habits, location and desired rewards. For example, a points card for gas is much more worthwhile for suburban car owners who drive daily than urbanites who rent cars occasionally. Picking a program that matches earning opportunities with existing spending habits will help to earn points faster.

2. Focus on one or two loyalty programs; concentrating on fewer programs will help individuals get to rewards goals much faster than earning points or miles among multiple programs. Programs that allow consumers to earn at a variety of retailers, also known as coalition programs, may also speed accumulation of points or miles.

3. If used conscientiously, a credit card tied to a consumer’s chosen loyalty program can contribute significantly towards getting to a reward. This approach enables miles or points to be earned with both the loyalty card and the credit card on the same purchase.

A

loyalty program is only as good as the rewards it offers. Even so, many Canadians are missing the boat when it comes to choosing the TheRentersGuide.ca program that’s best for them.

There are so many loyalty programs available plus so few tools to help people discover the TheRentersGuide.ca one that best suits their lifestyle.

4. Always carry your cards with you for use at the check-out.

Remember – if you don’t carry them, you won’t benefit from the program.

5. Find out which loyalty program will reward you faster via a new, free online tool at www.compareloyaltyprograms.ca. Answer a few quick questions about your location and shopping preferences to determine which program(s) are the best fit. NC Source: Commissioned by COLLOQUY, a LoyaltyOne research group, Environics TheRentersGuide.ca Research Group developed an algorithm that allows consumers to determine which rewards programs get them to the rewards they want as quickly as possible, based on their individual shopping patterns, program features and attributes.

décor

Decorate

with the latest home-fashion trends

W

e’ve seen decor trends come and go over the years, but according to home décor expert Karl Lohnes there are a few that have held the test of time and become classics.

to the decorating world was a nice way to ease us away from all the golden taupe

In the 1980’s natural sea grass carpeting became a classic that never went away.

In the 90’s stainless steel kitchen appliances appeared on the domestic market and stabilized as long-term investments. So what recent and new decorating trends are making their way into the hall of fame to be around for the next five to 10 years? Lohnes TheRentersGuide.ca shares his insights:

to wallpaper, bedding, fabrics and carpets. Look for this pattern to calm itself

Grey: This solemn neutral was very popular in the mid 80’s; back then it was a steely blue grey and used only to TheRentersGuide.ca achieve a modern aesthetic. Its return

that we had grown so fond of. But this time around the grey is a bit warmer (think grey flannel) and is used for both traditional and modern decorating. Look for this neutral to stick around and watch it warm up a bit more to an elephant, or driftwood colour. This will be the new taupe; cooler than what we remember and looking great with off-white, gold metallics and shots of strong colour. Progressive décor companies like Hunter Douglas has included a fresh grey in its new Parkland wood blinds collection. Called Salt and Pepper, it is a mid-tone that adds layering and depth at the window.

Chevron pattern: Whether you call it zigzag, herringbone or chevron, this angled linear pattern has come in and out of décor fashion for decades. Currently, the design is highlighted by contrasting coloured stripes, which add punchy patterns down by being shown more as a texture than an obvious print. Tone-on-tone is the way to go with the classic chevron pattern if you want to live with it for a while. Use it in large doses or small. To illustrate, designer Katie Leede trimmed her Provenance woven-wood shades in a tone-on-tone chevron pattern in her designer showhouse bedroom.

Farmhouse style: It goes without saying that country-style decorating is still the most popular form of décor. Country has been transformed of late into “Farmhouse Chic”.

This new country style allows us to mix humble, worn furnishings with a touch of industrial chic in order to make it cool again. The style can look very upscale when fancy antiques become part of the mix.

safety

When baby proofing, do not forget your window coverings

T

here are many things new parents need to think about when bringing home their newborn baby. We want to be sure to keep our children safe in our homes, and for new parents especially, it seems like everything that once seemed harmless holds hidden dangers. We all know baby gates help prevent a fall down the stairs, and outlet plugs protect little fingers from electricity, but one area parents often overlook is protecting children from the blinds covering the windows.

Any cords on a window covering can pose a strangulation hazard.

This includes operating cords used to raise and lower or tilt the blind, and cords which are internal, or cords on the back of the blinds. Strangulation occurs silently and quickly, and by the time a parent or caregiver checks on the child, it is often too late.

Strangulations can happen even when children are in places where parents think they are safe, such as in a crib or in a bedroom.

Children aged 12 months to 36 months old are most at risk of strangulation.

TheRentersGuide.ca

The safest window coverings in homes with young children are cordless. If you are buying new window coverings for your baby’s room or playroom purchase only cordless window coverings.

Always choose window coverings that do not have exposed TheRentersGuide.ca cords on the back.

If buying new blinds is not an option, there are other ways to protect your baby. Never put a crib, bed, high chair, or playpen near a window or a patio door where a child can reach a blind cord. Do not put sofas, chairs, tables, shelves, or bookcases near windows. This will prevent children from climbing up to reach the blind cord.

Whether your blinds are new or old, follow manufacturer’s instructions and never leave cords hanging. Always make sure the cords are up high and out of reach of children, whether blinds are up or down.

TheRentersGuide.ca

More tips on keeping your child safe from the risks of strangulation by blind cords can be found online at healthycanadians.gc.ca. NC

quicktips

Keep your eye on the look, and the price will look after itself

B

e sure of the look you want, and you won’t have to spend big to create a knockout window treatment. Just like clothes—you don’t have to buy Chanel to have the Chanel look.

“If you’ve moved into a new home, you may be on a strict budget for a while”, says Mary Dobson, spokesperson for Levolor Window Fashions in Canada and CityLine guest expert.“But go ahead— dress up the windows any way you want.

There’ll always be a budget version of your chosen look.”With help from Dobson, here are a few more pointers: • Pleated shades are making a big comeback right now. They are practical, they come in close to 100 different fabrics, and they offer performance features, all at a price that won’t raise your eyebrows. Imagine using just pleated shades for starters, then as the cash flow improves, dressing them up with drapes and a beautiful rod.

• Wood blinds look great and are a favourite. They come in a range of neutral colours and slat sizes. Another choice you have is between real wood and the look of real wood. And, once again, with the passing of time you TheRentersGuide.ca may chose to frame wood blinds with ready-made drapes for a rich, traditional window.

Roman shades are perfect for “show-off” TheRentersGuide.ca windows.

Once expensive, because they

had to be custom-made, Levolor now makes them far more affordable with over 30 fabrics to choose from. You could select the latest luxury materials or you could select something like a funky stripe for the guest bedroom.

“Or look at the simplicity of roller shades, which also come in a variety of fabrics, colours and patterns,”Dobson continued.“I really like Sheerweave—a techno savvy , translucent material that filters light without concealing the view.

Get your colours right, create a look that works and your first house guests will wonder whether you won the lottery,”she said.“Your budget doesn’t really matter, it’s all in the TheRentersGuide.ca look of your window.”

A closer look at the latest in window fashions is available online at levolor.ca. NC

safety

Smoke alarms are your first line

of defence

A

n average of eight Canadians die each week as a result of fires that are considered preventable, or are a result of careless behaviour, reports Fire Prevention Canada. When considering your own protection, remember that functioning smoke alarms are a reliable first line of defense.

A few simple steps to consider: • Install smoke alarms on every story of your home and outside sleeping areas, and make sure you test them regularly. A good measure is to test the detectors monthly, clean them every six months, and replace batteries when necessary. • Have a fire escape plan for your family and practice it.

Make sure everyone in your household knows different ways to exit your house and have a meeting place a safe distance from your home in case of a fire. When going over the details of your escape plan, check windows and doors to ensure all easily open.

• When renovating, consider using fire-rated, non-combustible products.

Roxul, for example, makes stone wool insulation. Because of the stone properties, it resists temperatures up to approximately 1177° C (2150°F) and when directly exposed to fire, it will not develop smoke or promote flames giving you more time to escape.

TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

Fire prevention measures are a serious matter in every home. Make sure you consider all necessary steps whether it’s installing an alarm or looking into fire-rated products – and remember that this year, Fire Prevention Week runs from October 6 to 12.

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.

Financial Quick Tips:

How to get smarter about money

I

nvestor Education Fund (IEF), a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to financial literacy and education, has developed three tips based on the most common issues: Is it best to renew a mortgage or get a new one? Shop around. When looking at interest rates, keep in mind that the difference between a rate of 3.5 per cent and 3.6 per cent can translate into thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage. Use the mortgage calculator at www.

GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca to see how much you can save with different mortgage options.

Is it too late to save? Time is on your side.

Thanks to the power of compound interest, even small savings can add up to a huge amount over time. For example, if you save $1,200 a year (or $100 a month) at an interest rate of four per cent starting at age 25, by age 60, your savings will have grown to $91,917.98. If you save the same amount at the same interest rate but start at age 35, by age 60, you’ll have only $51,974.09.

The compound interest calculator at GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca will show you how your savings can grow over time. NC

Is it best to pay down debt or invest?

Let the interest rate decide. When deciding whether to invest your money or use it to pay down debt, look at the interest rate you’re paying on your debt and compare it to how much you would generate from the potential investment. The pay down debt or invest calculator on www.

GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca can help you figure it TheRentersGuide.ca out.

eople have good hearts. And people often feel they should do something to help friends and family when the going gets tough. Hey, I’m all for offering help when it’s needed. But you should consider any financial help you offer as a gift, since loans often cause huge problems when it comes repayment time.

Here’s a letter I received recently:

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

finances Gail I need some help. I don’t know what to do. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are constantly in a mess financially. They have young kids, and both my husband and I love those children. We don’t want to see them lose their home. But I also am very afraid of how our help could hurt us.

My sister-in-law has asked us to co-sign a consolidation loan to help them out of the mess they have made. She’s a rampant shopper. He can’t manage to make his business work. My husband wants to do it, but I’m afraid that if we do this it might get in the way when we go to buy a home next year. Am I just being selfish?

Signed D D, you are not being selfish. Wanting to stay solvent so you can make your own dreams come true is not a selfish act. It’s a sensible act. And while your heart may go out to your family, particularly the kids, whose to say that another loan is actually going to solve the problem. What have your sister-in-law and brother-in-law done to demonstrate they’re serious about their debt problems? If their solution is simply to get a consolidation loan, that’s not enough.

Here are more reasons why you should think twice about co-signing for their consolidation loan: People who need a cosigner can’t qualify on their own because the lender believes they will default. I have heard of the odd positive co-signing experience like a young adult with no credit history whose parents sign on because they know their kid is a stand-up person who would sooner die than stick them with debt. But I’ve heard five times as many negative stories: parents who have been stuck with their children’s irresponsible behaviour; family who watch as the primary signer goes bankrupt leaving them holding the loan. If a body can’t qualify for a loan on its own merits, you have to wonder if you’re actually doing that body a favour by adding more weight to their debt load.

TheRentersGuide.ca Co-signed debt is 100 per cent your debt.

A lot of people don’t seem to realize this, I’m not sure why since it is clearly stated

TheRentersGuide.ca

in all the loan paperwork. But here it is in black and white: If the primary borrower drops dead or defaults on the loan, you are 100 per cent responsible for repaying any loans you may have co-signed. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t get the money. It doesn’t matter that the primary borrower swore you were off the hook. The reason you’re co-signing is to guarantee repayment, and if the lender can’t get blood from one stone, it’ll come looking for your stones.

Co-signed debt is factored into calculations that determine whether you’ll get approved any kind of borrowing, including a mortgage. That’s right. Since you’re on the hook for that $27,000 loan you co-signed for, that’s $27,000 less you can borrow for your own purposes. Again, people seem not to realize that there is a limit to how much lenders will let you take on. Perhaps it’s because lenders have been so lax with this particular rule that folks think credit is unlimited. Well, the recent dry-up in the money markets should have made it clear that the credit bucket is not bottomless. Taking on the responsibility of co-signing could mean you’re ability to borrow for your own goals is thwarted.

So how do you say no to family or friends who see you as financially stable and a good resources for solving their problems?

Try this…

Tonya, both Paul and I would love to help, but right now we’re just not in a position to do so financially. We would be happy to sit down with you and Tony to talk about ways you could clean up the financial mess you’re in. And we’d be happy to help in other ways, like taking the kids when you guys are working extra hard to get that debt paid off. But we can’t co-sign right now. What else can we do to help you?

If Tonya and Tony stomp out in a huff because all they want is your signature, you can count your blessings. It would only be a matter of time before that cosigned loan came between you anyway.

At least now you’re not also on the hook financially.

Thanksgiving - Thank

a farmer Now here’s a commoN sceNario: you’re fumbliNg for your keys at the door after work, when that aroma from your neighbor hits you: a thick juicy steak spitting and spatting out there on the grill has your mouth watering (with envy)!

Any farmer will tell you that preserving and even enhancing the land is a top priority – fundamental to their life’s work.

Take raising beef cattle for example: Canadian cattle farming and ranching families manage and care for 50 million acres of grass land and 14 million head of cattle each year.“Keeping the land and waterways clean is a big part of what we do on our farm here,” explains Ontario beef farmer Bill Sheard.“We had to come up with a system to make sure rainfall gets to our neighboring creek close to as clean as when it fell from the sky.”

Bill teamed up with conservation authorities and environmental consultants to develop an Ontario Environmental Farm Plan solution. For Bill, it meant installing a system of catch-basins to divert as much rainfall as possible from the farm.

This Thanksgiving, the farmers and ranchers across Canada invite you to take moment to pause, stop salivating and honor the day – it’s truly a marvel – the abundance of food that’s available to us in Canada – thanks much to their TheRentersGuide.ca fine work.

Bill also installed a clever homegrown solution, setting hay bales along the creek-bank to slow any water flow from the farm and filter it. Tall grasses sprang up and add to the system – soaking up excess nutrients. It’s a clean and healthy creek just downstream from 1,400 cattle.

“It’s a great solution that’s been a real team effort.”

The commitment to bring good to the table is a noble cause and a responsibility that is not taken lightly. Taking care of the land is part and parcel of TheRentersGuide.ca the process – the land gives and farmers give back.

TheRentersGuide.ca

Thanks Bill or all that you do.

LOOKING TO DOWNSIZE?

Make the smart choice and RENT B Y JANE H E RMAN

A

re you an empty nester and looking to downsize? Most people do not realize how much equity they are sitting on in their houses. By selling your home at this stage of your life, you could tap into the enormous equity you have accumulated, invest the proceeds, and then use the income to pay for your monthly rent. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like living rent-free!

TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca

The actual amount of money you could generate depends on the value of your home and the rate of return on your investment. For argument’s sake, let’s assume that you can net $800,000 on the sale of your house and then earn a modest 3 per cent annual return ($24,000). That would give you up to $2000 a month to spend on rent.

Since most rental apartments in the GTA go for considerably less than that, you should be able to rent a great apartment in a great building, in the neighbourhood of your preference and still reinvest a portion of the interest income to maintain the principal.

After 28 years in their house, and, with their two children grown and living on their own, Benjamin Applebaum and his wife, of Toronto, did just that.“We had a big, five-bedroom house which we thoroughly enjoyed, but it was 85 years old and there were always headaches associated with owning, in terms of major repairs and maintenance,” said Applebaum.“We had always talked about selling it at some point in time. We felt that given the present state of the real estate market in Toronto that it was an opportune time to sell.”

After looking at a number of townhouses and other properties for rent, the Applebaums stumbled on the apartment they ultimately rented – a huge, 2,500-ft penthouse that’s walking distance to work, with underground parking, a fabulous kitchen, a huge outdoor terrace where they can barbecue and three bathrooms. Not your typical downsizing scenario, by any stretch of the imagination.

“We did the math and were astounded,” said Applebaum.“ By investing the principle from the sale of our house, and compounding the interest, we are more than covering our annual rental expenses. And the best part of it all is that we do not pay property taxes, heating, or monthly maintenance fees TheRentersGuide.ca like we would in a condominium. Nor did we have to pay any transaction costs, like when buying or selling. Most people

TheRentersGuide.ca

do not realize how costly it is to live in a condominium. It’s true that underground parking in our climate is a perk – at my age, a necessity – but you can join a gym for a lot less than you would pay to have a fancy health club right in your building. And most apartment buildings have underground parking.”

A persuasive case for renting (vs. owning a condo) is also made by chartered accountant David Trahair, in his highly publicized book Cash Cows, Pigs and Jackpots: The Simplest Personal Finance Strategy Ever. Trahair argues that the way to wealth is less though acquiring assets, and more through improving cash flow. Trahair urges would-be condo buyers (like seniors, particularly those who might be tempted to downsize from a house to a condominium) to avoid the pitfalls of condominium ownership that include whopping monthly maintenance fees, property taxes, and potential special assessments (to pay for major repairs

or poor construction). As a senior, you should be especially careful to avoid such unnecessary expenses at this stage of your life. For those who have just sold the family home Trahair advises “You sit on a ton of cash and you just rent.”Wouldn’t you rather be using your capital for travel and other priorities than home maintenance?

“At this stage of our lives, selling our home and renting was one of the smartest moves we could have made,” says Applebaum. It could be yours, too.

Read the Canadian

Consumer handbook to become a savvy consumer

With so many people trying to sell us things these days, it’s hard to separate fact from fiction.

One of the best ways to protect yourself is to consult objective, unbiased sources of information. The Canadian Consumer Handbook, for example, is a trusted resource for factual and impartial information.

Here are some of the most popular topics in the handbook and what they deal with: Debt – Deals with the warning signs of debt, taking control of your finances, making a budget, negotiating with collection agencies, credit ratings and reports, the pros and cons of credit counsellors and your rights and responsibilities in filing for bankruptcy.

Credit reporting – Describes what a credit rating is, how to order a copy of your personal credit report, how to protect yourself from companies promising to improve your credit rating, and how you can increase your credit score over time.

Contracts – Deals with little-known facts about contracts. For example, did you know that in some provinces and territories there is an automatic cancellation or cooling off period for contracts on items such as credit, dating clubs, health clubs, funeral and cemetery services, time-shares, natural gas, electricity and door-to-door sales?

Complaints – Offers practical tips on how to complain effectively and get the results you want after something goes wrong. It offers sample letters of complaints and suggestions for last resorts.

Housing – Talks about landlord and tenant problems, mortgages and moving.

Whether you plan to rent or buy, downsize or upsize, the ins and outs of housing can be confusing.

TheRentersGuide.ca

TheRentersGuide.ca

The recently updated handbook is published and maintained by the Consumer Measures Committee, a joint committee of federal, provincial and territorial consumer protection officials.

You can even create your own personal handbook usingTheRentersGuide.ca the My Handbook function. You can find the handbook at consumerhandbook.ca NC

10 tips for cooking

beef best

C

anada is internationally recognized as producing some of the best farmed foods available. Canadian beef is no exception to the rule. The Canadian cattle breeds and feeds along with the best-management practices of cattle ranchers and farmers have earned Canadian beef a reputation of some of the best beef in the world.

Beef is a very diverse, with many different ways to prepare and cook it. No matter how you choose to cook it, here are ten top preparation tips from the beef experts at Canada Beef.“We’ve cooked up a lot of beef over the years to make sure we get it right” states Joyce Parslow, home economist with Canada Beef. Here’s some of their Top Tested Tips that will help you get the best out of your beef:

3. Pat beef dry before cooking. The drier the meat, the better it will sear so that more flavor develops.

Blot it dry with a clean paper towel so it sears rather than steams.

6. Always let meat rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking – up to 20 or 30 minutes for large cuts like roasts. This allows for the cooking to complete and for juices to set up and for easier carving.

4. Forgot to take your roast out of the refrigerator in time? Don’t worry it will cook equally well straight from the refrigerator. You don’t need to bring beef to room temperature before you cook it

7. Less tender Marinating Steaks should be forked all over before marinating. It is a great tenderizing technique.

5. When you’re grilling your favorite steak, it’s ready to turn over when the juices start to come to the surface and it releases its grip from the grill. Never use a fork to turn your steak over, use tongs and never cut your steak to check for doneness. Piercing a steak releases the delicious juices and dries it out. The best way to know your steaks (or roasts) are done the way you like them is to use a thermometer and take a temperature of the inside of the meat at the thickest part. You don’t have to feel like a geek – it is what the best chefs use to know their meat is done.

8. If you’re marinating a steak, be aware that a strong citrus marinade can make the surface of beef mushy and mealy. It’s better to use an herb or seasoning rub that has an oil as well as an acid component.

9. Use your slow cooker and cook a Pot Roast all day. It fills the house with amazing aromas that nurtures the soul and gathers the family together and saves you some sanity when you get home from work.

10. When making burger patties, don’t overwork the meat or your burgers will end up being dense and seem tough.

1. Buy the right cut of meat for the type of cooking you hope to do. Don’t by a Blade Simmering Steak if you want to barbecue – Simmering Steaks are best simmered not grilled.

TheRentersGuide.ca

2. Always season meat before cooking for best flavor.

Simply sprinkle a bit of coarse salt and pepper just before cooking to develop the best beefy flavor. You can also accent it with a dusting of cumin, minced fresh rosemary or your favorite steak rub.

Colour-coding takes the guesswork

out of replacing smoke alarms

W

e all know how essential it is to install smoke alarms in our homes, and to replace them every 10 years whether they are battery powered or hardwired. But one lingering question remains: What type of alarm should be installed in which location? With answers to this, industry leader Kidde Canada gets rid of the guesswork with its new line of ‘worry-free’ alarms. Each one is colour-coded to suggest where best to install it, and has features that match.

Targeted areas are hallways, near kitchens, in bedrooms, and in general living areas.

“Installing or replacing smoke alarms shouldn’t be confusing,” says Carol Heller, a home safety expert for the company. “We make it simple to find the right alarm for each room in your home by identifying the recommended TheRentersGuide.ca location right on the package.”

Specific alarm features match its recommended use. For example, a talking alarm that speaks out a warning for fire is recommended for bedrooms. An alarm with a powerful TheRentersGuide.ca LED light is suggested for hallways. An alarm that has

both a smoke and CO sensor is suggested for general living areas – and one that is designed to significantly reduce false alarms is recommended for near the kitchen.

As well, all new models have sealed lithium batteries that last 10 years from activation. That means no more batteries to replace until it’s time to replace the alarm itself.

Make Thanksgiving dinner preparation

a family affair

Thanksgiving is a Time To be appreciaTive and a Time To enjoy delicious food. But the meal shouldn’t be the responsibility of just one person. As the saying goes, ‘many hands make light work’. By teaching your kids how to help in the kitchen from meal prep to cleanup, you’re also helping them understand how to prepare healthy meals and appreciate food for years to come.

• Meal math: Task elementary-aged kids to measuring out certain ingredients using measuring cups and spoons. Once measured, invite them to mix as needed to learn what the end result will be.

“Parents can always use an extra pair of hands in the kitchen, especially with such a big meal like Thanksgiving dinner, and when encouraged, kids can enjoy spending time cooking and learning how to prepare meals,”says Laura McGowan, director of marketing, LG Electronics Canada. “Helping in the kitchen teaches useful skills that will last long past dinnertime and create some great moments together as a family as well.”

McGowan provides insight on children of all ages lending a hand and learning in the kitchen: TheRentersGuide.ca • Grocery discoveries: Kids of all ages can learn the tricks of the kitchen on a trip to the grocery store. When children are involved in picking out new foods, such as exciting vegetables, they’re more likely to try (and enjoy) new things, helping to TheRentersGuide.ca expand their palate.

• Little chefs: Setting the table and retrieving ingredients from the pantry or refrigerator are good activities for younger children who might not have the skills necessary to prepare food. The new LG door in door feature makes it even easier for kids to get the needed items.

• Team cleanup: Ensure everyone lends a hand with the cleanup and use innovative appliances like the LG Fully-integrated Dishwasher with EasyRack Plus for precise cleaning, energy efficiency and flexibility and convenience with the interior rack system.

• Buddy System: Always have an adult present in the kitchen when children are helping with food preparation and ensure TheRentersGuide.ca knives or other sharp objects and hot elements are well out of reach of little hands.
