as you know, one of the biggest considerations you’re faced with when it comes to choosing a rental is your choice of location. Unlike furniture, paint and decor, it’s the one thing that you

cannot change, so it’s important to choose well.

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 you the best of both worlds. If you own a car and want to use public transportation whenever possible to save on parking and gas costs, a well-connected mass transit location may be a better option for you. 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 priorities first, and then take the time to assess each location for its merits and weigh your options.

what’s your motivation? Do you need more space - or less of it? A new lifestyle? A new job? A change in your family or relationship status necessitating a new apartment? Then embrace the

opportunity, go out and find that perfect new place to call home.

Sometimes, even though life has changed and a new apartment is necessary, moving can feel too overwhelming or inconvenient to take on the challenge and make the effort. While there isn’t an honest person alive that will tell you moving is easy or effortless, you can minimize the impact, stress and headaches by planning it out carefully.

The first step is deciding what you want. Get a few points down on paper, such as: location, size, necessary amenities and budget. Be realistic and know the difference between your ideal and the market reality.

Start looking. Look in advance so you get a feel for what the market has to offer. If you like something, put your name on the wait list. Get your finances in order and your references in check. Start streamlining your possessions. If you’re moving with children you’ll have to get their stuff in order too.

If you start getting your move in order well before you actually give your notice and sign your lease there will be much less to do once the 60-day countdown is on. With this in mind, you’re ready for a winter move, and we’re here to help. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

BEAT THE WINTER BLUES with Direct Deposit

WITH CANADIANS SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING, DIRECT DEPOSIT OFFERS ONE LESS REASON TO BRAVE SNOWY, ICY TRIPS TO THE BANK. Why should I care, you ask? The federal government is switching from cheques to direct deposit for all government-issued payments so any payments you receive such as an income tax refund, GST-HST credits, Old Age Security and Canada Pension Plan benefits, Employment Insurance, and Universal Child Care Benefits can now be deposited directly into your bank account. Imagine celebrating spring by having instant access to your funds, deposited at the same time every month.

The federal government is urging people to sign up now.

Direct deposit is growing as a worldwide trend because of its speed, convenience, security and reliability. Even though direct deposit has been around for almost 20 years, the change to paperless payments is being made to make it easier for all Canadians to access their federal government payments that much faster.

Plus, direct deposit will save approximately 32,000 trees a year, reduce harmful emissions by 100 per cent by not having to distribute cheques across the country by mail delivery and results in millions in taxpayer savings a year in reduced printing and postage costs.

Perhaps best of all, you don’t have to do online banking to enrol in direct deposit. It simply means your federal government payments will be deposited directly into your bank account electronically and on time. And have no fear – direct deposit is secure. The federal government ensures that it has placed the utmost importance on privacy and security with your payments. Any information you provide is protected under the Privacy Act. If you are one of the few Canadians who have yet to enrol in direct deposit, you can sign up in several ways, by phone, online, in-person and by mail. To find out more on how to enrol, call 1-800-593-1666 or visit www.directdeposit.gc.ca.

The federal government makes over 300 million payments each year with 57 million cheques still being printed, processed and mailed annually.

Then came the economic change. Creditors stopped throwing credit at every Tom, Dick and Mary regardless of their ability to actually pay back that credit. The government got into the swim creating legislation that said lenders couldn’t just raise a person’ credit limit without telling them – further exposing them to credit risk. And people started losing their jobs.

The abundance of the previous years has turned to forced scarcity. Some people took steps to prepare for the worst and are holding on through the tough times. Others have found their

Creating the illusion

OF SCARCITY

ONE OF THE REASONS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE UP TO THEIR EYEBALLS IN DEBT IS THAT they’ve had access to gobs of credit. Whether lenders threw a dozen credit cards at us, offered us big, fat lines of credit, or let us buy now and pay later, we’ve been living a life where we could have whatever we want whenever we want.

It’s been a life of abundance. RentersGuide.ca

debt loads too high and are headed to bankruptcy trustees to see what they can off-load. Still others are just drowning with no idea what to do next.

I’m sad for all the people who can’t keep it together – people who are missing their rent or mortgage payments, falling behind on their car payments, pulling their kids out of their sports or other extra-curricular activities. While things were good and they were constantly being offered more and more credit, they never imagined there would ever be an end to their ability to have what they wanted. I’ve worked with more than a few people who are totally astounded at the place they are currently in. How could this happen? Y’all probably know a body or two who are scratching their heads.

I’m hoping the forced scarcity teaches an extremely important lesson about money: there may not be more money, and you better have some set aside just in case. It doesn’t take a world economic crisis to throw a body’s budget into a tailspin if you have no money saved. It only takes a few weeks off work with a sick child, a call to jury duty, or a cut-back in your hours at work to make a house of cards fall down.

I wonder how many people will actually learn the lesson. I wonder how many people will go back to spending every cent they make as soon as the economy gets back on its feet. And I wonder if anyone has figured out that you can create your own sense of scarcity to keep you constantly on your toes when it comes to managing your money.

Abundance has a way of permeating our very being and making us feel invulnerable. But we are all vulnerable, whether we want to accept that fact or not. And creating the illusion of scarcity may be what it takes to stay true to a sound financial plan.

I’m not talking about creating such a sense of scarcity that you’re always whining about what you can’t do or

can’t have. And I’m not suggesting you use the illusion of scarcity to cheap out on life. But if you’re the kind of creature who routinely spends every penny she makes, maybe you need to implement the illusion of scarcity to keep yourself in check. And maybe if you move your money where you can’t touch it, leaving yourself with less to “blow” on stuff, you’ll actually end up achieving some of those goals that have always been so elusive.

How do you create the illusion of scarcity. Well…First, you make a budget that balances. You transfer all the money that must be used to pay your fixed and variable expenses to a “house” account, so you know those bills are covered and you can’t spend that money on stuff.

Second, you set some goals you want to achieve. It may be paying down your mortgage annually, taking a fabulous family vacation, or going back to school.

Third, you set up savings accounts for each of the goals you want to achieve, and have the money you want to saved moved automatically to those accounts so that money is out of sight.

Now you only have money left in your first account that you can actually

spend on all that crap you so love to buy: coffee, lunches out, another tool, magazines, DVDs, more clothes… name your weakness here. For me it’s houseplants and books. When I look at the money in my account, because I’ve made most of it disappear to places I don’t look regularly, I’m more cautious about just how I blow what’s left. I prioritize. I consciously decide to spend (or not to spend) the money. I don’t feel like I have so much money I’ll never run out so I can just have this one little thing.

And that’s the point of creating the illusion of scarcity: to recognize that money is an exhaustible resource so you better be sure your spending isn’t just a knee-jerk reaction to your sense of abundance.

moving

BY CHUCK RESNICK

Blizzards, black Ice

and movingMOVING WHEN ICE AND SNOW ARE IN

THE DAILY FORECAST ISN’T A POPULAR CHOICE FOR MANY CANADIANS.

It’s cold and slippery; but with some extra safety precautions, winter moving also has

many advantages.

RentersGuide.ca

RentersGuide.ca

RentersGuide.ca

RentersGuide.ca

Moving last minute? No problem, if it’s during the cold months. Choosing to move in the “off season” – sometime between November and March – can save you time and money.

Summer is the busiest season for moving companies. This means you must be well prepared, booking six to eight weeks in advance to ensure your preferred moving company is available. Not only are they higher in demand but generally their rates are also more expensive.

Some companies may be more willing to negotiate their rates during the winter months as they’re competing for business during the slow season. Likewise, less rush and stress for companies in the winter means you get their best employees resulting in a higher quality of service.

With everything booked, now comes the packing. Follow these tips for a relaxed and toasty move – no matter what’s going on outside those frosted windows.

• Have a contingency plan. Keep up to date with local weather forecasts and change your plans accordingly. If a big snowfall or freezing rain is expected the morning of your move day, don’t risk it.

• Keep cozy. Carry extra warm clothes for you and your family – including hats, gloves and snow pants. Pack these ahead of time and clearly label them so you can locate them immediately.

• Remember your items will be in a non-heated environment for a while. Ensure your plants, electronics and liquids are properly packed and protected from the cold.

• Allow extra time on the move day – cold weather slows things down. Additionally, rushing in the winter can lead to accidents and injuries.

• Have driveways and sidewalks cleared of snow before the movers arrive. Your driveway needs to be ploughed wider than usual – enough to allow the moving truck’s loading ramp to be positioned as close to your front door as possible. Lay plywood down on muddy or slushy areas. Slipping can not only lead to dropped boxes and broken possessions but also personal injury.

• Quality movers will use floor runners to protect your floors in high traffic area but for extra protection inside, cover your floors to protect them from tracked-in snow, mud, and salt.

• Drive safe. Make sure maintenance and service on your vehicles is current. Check the air pressure on your tires and ensure the trunk is equipped with emergency kits (matches, flashlight, food), blankets, and shovels. Drive slowly with extra caution.

• Be certain that your heating company for your new home is aware of your move in day.

Wintertime moving doesn’t have to be wet and miserable. With these reminders, you’ll be packed up, moved and basking in the warmth of your new home before you know it.

Just starting out?RENTING IS YOUR BEST CHOICE

renter’shelp

BY JANE HERMAN

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 instead of buying your first residence. 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. 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 condo-quality 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!

PRICES KEEP GOING UP AND UP, SO WHEN YOU’RE CUTTING COSTS, WHY NOT CUT CLUTTER AT THE SAME TIME? You don’t need to spend your hard-earned money on expensive storage solutions – chances are, you may have the thrifty answers in your home already!QUICK TIPS ON ORGANIZING YOUR HOME

Use what you have. Organizing doesn’t have to cost a fortune; just get creative. Before rushing out to buy bins and baskets, look around your home for containers you can re-purpose. Here are some ideas:

» Egg cartons or ice cube trays can be used to organize earring sets, cuff links or hair accessories.

» Empty plastic baby-wipe containers can be used to store crayons, first aid or sewing supplies, and they stack easily on a shelf.

» Empty baby food jars can be used to keep touch-up paint, spare buttons, or screws and nails.

» A mug holder can be re-purposed into a scarf or baseball cap holder.

» Empty tissue boxes can hold plastic grocery bags or, with the top cut off, packets of gravy and instant soup.

» The large clear plastic container that you can buy pre-washed salad in is perfect for storing special occasion shoes, keeping them visible yet dust-free.

Before you go shopping, eliminate the clothes you don’t wear to make room for new items. Use the “one in – one out” rule: for every item you bring home, let go of one. The advantages are you’ll spend less because you know what you already have, you can buy clothes that co-ordinate with existing items, and you’ll be able to get dressed faster because there will be fewer decisions to make.

Corral coin clutter. Do you have loose change in every part of your home? Grab a clear jar and label it “fun funds”. Now you have a designated place to deposit those coins, both reducing clutter and creating a little nest egg. Once the jar is full, treat yourself to a small indulgence and then start again.

Zip bags are a cost-effective cure-all for clutter. Plastic bags that zip shut are for more than just keeping sandwiches fresh. Use the large ones to store shoes when travelling so that they don’t soil your clothing. Use the small ones to organize the contents of your drawers. Place elastic bands in one bag, and cotton swabs in another. Use them for band-aids, cosmetic sponges and bobby pins. Items remain sorted, clean and dust-free. Bonus: no need to label because you can see the contents clearly.

QUICK TIPS ON ORGANIZING YOUR HOME OFFICE

Want to reduce the amount of paper piling up in your office, and save trees and money as well? Pull the paper out of your printer and store it in a file folder across the room. Although this may seem counter-productive, you will actually be saving time in the long run. By making it less convenient to print, you will begin to print more consciously and less often. As a result, you’ll have fewer papers to pile, sort through and file later, and you’ll spend less money on print cartridges and paper.

QUICK TIPS ON ORGANIZING YOUR LIFE

Why buy when you can rent or borrow? The next

time you need something, rather than automatically driving to the store to purchase it, take a moment to consider a less-expensive, clutter-free alternative. Try a rental store, a library, or ask friends/family to borrow the item you need. That way, you don’t have to store it forever. Acquiring and clinging is a habit that can be broken!

ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGERS RENTERS CAN FACE IS PERSONALIZING A SPACE. From landlord restrictions to budgetary constraints, there are a multitude of reasons why many renters are unable to make desired changes to their homes. While the basic setting is often nice, renters are limited to painting, rugs and furnishings to infuse their taste and lifestyle into an apartment. Time after time, renters put off their dream storage unit or design feature knowing that they will someday move, and potentially lose their investment.Wine cellars are generally one of those dreams to disappear, as many assume they are the sole domain of mansion-dwellers. And the big, climate-controlled, secure room with tasting table and built-in racks may still be beyond the reach of most apartment residents, but for avid wine collectors, there’s a great solution.

Wine cellars now come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, with an even broader array of features. From dual-temperate zones to counter-top models, there are options for everyone – from wine beginners to wine aficionados. Which is great news, as sommeliers world-wide would agree that storing wine in a cupboard is probably the worst thing you can do for wine. And unless you’re drinking your wine and replacing it regularly, those cute six-bottle holders that go on the wall are not your vintage’s best friend. There’s no light or climate control.

Indeed, top sommelier Anne Martin says that storing a wine in your fridge at too cool a temperature can dry out the cork, making opening the bottle more difficult. She adds that many of us are unknowingly guilty of drinking our white wine too cold, and our red wines too warm! A too-cold white wine doesn’t allow you to full enjoy the range of flavours, while a too-warm red brings out too much of the alcohol notes, and not enough of the flavour.

Wines are best stored in a dark spot, free of direct UV rays, and even household lighting. Sunlight can cause wine to

age too quickly and therefore deteriorate. Plus, away from the light, the labels won’t fade. It’s always good to know what that special bottle is.

A dedicated wine storage unit, such as the wine cellars offered by Canadian company Koolatron (koolatron.com), eliminates this stress and guesswork by offering a consistent, regulated temperature, free from ambient lighting. They also protect against environmental dangers such as vibration and strong odours. Starting at just $159.99 for a six-bottle unit, proper wine storage and serving is affordable small enough for small space living.

Of course, the six-bottle cellar may be for the more occasional or novice collector. The serious collector will want to consider a larger unit – 45 bottles, or 68 bottles. The serious collector may consider the 165 bottle cellar. Or combine several. With great controls, a unit such as this is self-contained. Sophisticated construction means they control the position and climate perfectly, to ensure wines age well and can be enjoyed to their fullest potential, without worry of vibrations stirring up the sediment or light getting in.

As opposed to a built-in, these freestanding units are modern and offer contemporary design, so they work well in your decor. They can be located in a convenient corner or closet as they are space-saving and streamlined in design. And if you move, they move with you. It’s an investment in your lifestyle, not just your décor.

Then connoisseurs and oenophiles can just start collecting. No need to let your living situation dictate your enjoyment of finally opening up that award-winning vintage, or aging that special bottle to perfection!
