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.

how do you know when you’ve found the right apartment?Apartment hunting isn’t easy. The right location, the right
amount of space and the right budget are very important factors. But you need to go beyond the basics. The apartment has to feel right.
Whether it’s the layout, the lighting or the quaint detailing from the building’s era, know what you want in terms of style.
Sometimes a key point is a specific exposure. A green thumb might want their balcony to get as much sunlight as possible, while someone who works the night shift might prefer a western exposure to avoid morning light.
For some, the amenities are extremely important. Why not find a place that has fitness facilities, a pool or a party room if you know that those amenities are a great part of your lifestyle.
Closet space, kitchen counter prep area and distance from couch to TV for people who love their big screens are important. There are just too many factors to consider, so write them all down. Fill your list out as much as possible. You’ll need to prioritize your wishlist, and you may or may not find that place that hits each and every item, but if you go looking with a very clear picture of what you want, chances are you’ll find what you’re looking for!
Visit lots of apartments and pull out your list to see how each measures up. With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place. Our magazine and website, homeTRADER.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments as well as informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Moving 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.

LesLie styLes, foodie & traveL aficionado, shares some deLicious dishes found on her traveLs around the worLd
red LentiL soup with Bacon, cumin & harissa
› 5 slices (4-ounces) bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
› 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
› 1 medium onion, finely chopped
› 4 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice
› 1 1/2 cups red lentils
› 1 tsp ground cumin
› 2 tbsp tomato paste
› 2 tsp harissa paste
› 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
› 1/2 cup white wine and 1/2 cup water
› 6 tbsp low fat yogurt
› 6 fresh sprigs of basil, for garnish
ingredients serves four to six
directions
In a large saucepan over medium-
high heat, cook the bacon until crisp,
about 3 minutes. Transfer the bacon
to a piece of paper towel, and set
aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of
the bacon drippings from pan. Add
the garlic, onion, and carrots to
saucepan. Cook vegetables over
medium heat until tender, about 5
minutes. Add the the lentils, cumin,
harissa (or tomato paste), chicken
stock, wine and water; stir to
combine. Simmer until the lentils are
cooked and falling apart, about 25-30
minutes. The soup is fairly thick, so
if you prefer it thinner just add more
stock or water. Using an immersion
or regular blender, purée the soup,
leaving it somewhat chunky or
smooth. Reheat if necessary, stirring
in the lemon juice. To serve, divide
the hot soup among four warmed
soup plates and garnish with the
reserved crumbled bacon, a dollop of
yogurt and fresh sprig of basil.
red lentils or “masoor dal” in India, are one of my favourite types of legume, full of fiber, protein, and iron, they’re a near perfect food. Wonderfully versatile, they cook faster than other varieties and can be paired with a
multitude of ingredients. This savoury Moroccan-spiced recipe for Red Lentil Soup with Bacon, Cumin and Harissa is both comforting and delicious, and gets an extra kick from the harissa, a hot chili paste typically associated with Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria.
Most lentil soups fall into one of two categories: highly spiced, or not spiced – sometimes called bland. This one sits very happily at the spicy end with the harissa adding a tolerable amount of heat and a wonderful complexity of flavour. A hearty, thick and satisfying soup, the bacon, cumin and yogurt add a robust note to this delicious low fat soup, perfect for a cold winter evening. The vibrant golden hue adds a beautiful burst of colour to the bleakest of winter months.

renting checklist what the landlord will require from you
renters’help
b y J a n e H e r m a n
Your apartment search will be more successful if you know in advance what information your landlord
will require from you when you make an application to rent.
To ensure that your application goes as smoothly as possible, take some time to compile the appropriate information (such as contact names and phone numbers) before you go to
visit any apartments in person so it is easily accessible when you need it
Once you’ve found that perfect apartment, the next step will be to complete a rental application form. Completing this standard form will provide your landlord with some basic information about you: your current residence (or landlord); your rental history – if you have one; your employment history and/or references,
personal references, credit references and banking information or a reference letter from your bank. “It’s also helpful to have a real pay stub to verify your employment,” says Annette Mincer of Direct Properties. Some applicants, it seems, unfortunately do attempt to falsify employment information.
You should also bring along on your search a personal cheque, bank draft or sufficient
40
funds to cover the first and last month’s rent, which you will be required to submit with your application. Without a deposit to establish a contract, the landlord cannot process your application.
Keep in mind that the last month’s rent is not a “security deposit” (which were declared illegal in Ontario in the 1970s), but rather a deposit that is held in trust by the landlord and then applied to the last month’s rent when you terminate your lease. If you remain in the apartment for more than a year you should receive annual interest on your deposit. If the rent is increased during the term of your ten-
ancy, the accumulated interest is applied to top up your last month’s rent deposit so that it remains equivalent to the total of a month’s rent.
You should be aware, and agree to have the landlord conduct a credit check on you. This is a standard procedure and does not violate the Privacy Act. The landlord does need your permission to run a credit check, this is usually included in the rental application.
If you are not employed (if you are a stu-dent, for example), you may need to have a guarantor sign the application form to verify that the rent will be paid on time and in full each month. If you have a guarantor this means that it is their responsibility to pay your rent if you can’t, and they are as financially liable for the rent as you are.
If you are a new immigrant, be prepared to present all of your immigration documen-tation, as well as the first and last month’s rent. You will also need to be able to verify that you can pay the rent throughout the term of your lease. If you have sufficient funds in your bank account to cover the rent for the term of the lease, but are not employed, this can sometimes be prob-lematic. Be aware that it is illegal for a landlord to try to collect all of the rent from
you in advance; however you may be asked for a guarantor or to submit post-dated cheques.
Some residents mistakenly think they can get out of a lease any time they want. If you need to terminate your tenancy before your lease expires you must give the landlord 60 days notice to try to re-rent the apartment. You are legally responsible for the rent until it is re-rented or until the termination of the lease, whichever happens first.
When you fill out a rental application, make sure that it’s the apartment you really want. You’re putting down a deposit on it and, if approved, it’s yours. By doing your research and knowing what area you want to live in, what you can afford and what type of apartment and amenities you need, you’re sure to find the perfect place – and when you do, you’ll know it.
renting CheCklist
• Cheque, bank draft or funds to cover the first and last month’s rent
• Information on previous residence(s) and landlord(s) including phone numbers and contact information
• Employment history – current and previous employers including phone numbers and contact information. Bringing a paystub may be beneficial
• Banking information – name, address and phone number of your bank, and account number and contact person
• Letter from a personal guarantor, if required
• Reference letters or documentation such as credit references, personal references, etc.

Whether you live alone or have a full house, there’s no reason you can’t have organization. The difference is, when it’s just you on your own, it takes discipline, while when living with others everyone has to do their part. You should be able to teach organizational systems and delegate responsibilities so that everyone in the family has a part in keeping the house in order, whether it’s your spouse putting the mail and paid bills in the right folders or the kids putting their toys back in the right place. You shouldn’t have to be the drill sergeant – repeating the same requests week in and week out. Everyone needs to learn to do their part and work together to keep the house in top shape.
the ‘go-to’ bin Provide a personalized ‘go-to’ bin for each member of the family for things that don’t belong in the room. It keeps items together but out of sight until they’re returned to their proper place. Reserve a few minutes every day, perhaps before dinner, to do the ‘dash’. Each person empties his or her bin by returning the contents to the right place.
the ‘inbox’ Complementing the ‘go-to’ bin, create a family mail centre to manage paper flow. Create inboxes for each member of the family. These can be anything from wall-mounted pockets to magazine holders on a shelf. Keep them easily accessible. When paperwork comes into your home, sort it into each family member’s box. Items that need to be signed for school go into a parent’s box.
someone else’s clutter got you down? We’ve all heard that opposites attract, but if your partner’s organizing style is drastically different from yours, it can be frustrating for both of you. Before you are tempted to try and change your behavior (or his/hers), keep in mind that the change will be short-lived if you are getting organized for someone else’s approval but will last if you do it because you value the relationship.
has your dining room table become a dumping ground? In many homes, seldom-used flat surfaces often become drop zones for mail, books and any other items that don’t have a home. To save your table from becoming a breeding ground for clutter, bring out the china and silverware and set it for a formal dinner. It will be nicer to look at than a mountain of clutter and will actually prevent people from piling their possessions on it.
leave with everything you need Clear a shelf in a bookcase near the back entrance and designate the area as a special place to corral items each family member must have to leave the house. For kids, it will serve as home to permission slips, lunch boxes, homework, library books and projects. For adults, it will hold handbags, briefcases, car keys, and dry cleaning. Add a different-colored plastic dishpan for each family member or use attractive square baskets clearly labeled
with each person’s name. When family members come home, they can toss their belongings into their basket until they need them again the next morning.
his and her filing systems minimize conflict If you share a filing system with your spouse, how’s that working for you? Often, couples have different organizing styles (as I mentioned, opposites attract). To keep the peace, consider having separate filing systems. If you pay the household bills, keep those documents in your filing system and if your partner takes care of household repairs and receipts, they can keep track of that in their own filing system. Another option is to acknowledge your differences and assign the task of filing and retrieving documents solely to the person who is most comfortable with it.
on schedule Keep a family calendar to keep track of everyone’s activities. Designate a central location where everyone can see it. Let each family member choose a colour and have each person enter their activities (if they are old enough) on the schedule using their colour.
Preparation Reduce stress and frustration in the mornings by preparing the night before, when you’re not feeling as rushed. Decide what you are going to wear, make sure it’s clean and pressed, and lay it out with any accessories you plan to wear with it. It only takes a few minutes but will save you so much time and aggravation in the morning. Encourage your spouse and children to start this habit too, and enjoy more morning time.

The Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) does a lot of promoting of the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP), which we established to provide quality assurance to renters at buildings that obtain this certification. It’s about accountability on the part of apartment owners and property managers to do as much as they can to provide a good quality of life for tenants.
Respect should be a two-way street, with renters doing their part to abide by the rules and guidelines set out by the management and outlined in the Residential Tenancies Act (www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_06r17_e.htm). Keep in mind that these parameters are set for several reasons, one of which is to help ensure the safety and comfort of all tenants. They also protect the investment of apartment building owners, who should be able to expect that their premises will be treated with care.
One of the best ways to be a good tenant and encourage a healthy, open relationship with your owner and property manager is to live by the golden rule. Treat your apartment the way you would like it be treated if you owned the building. And the same goes for the people. Paying rent on time, for example, goes a long way toward that goal. So does keeping your apartment relatively clean, which will help keep things like floors and appliances last longer. Owners and property managers understand that over time, buildings experience normal wear and tear. If renters damage something through a deliberate action, however, they should pay for the repairs.
You do not own your rental unit, so of course, you do not have the authority to change the locks without the landlord’s or property manager’s permission. For safety and security reasons, being able to access your apartment when you are not there may be necessary in an emergency.
Remember, too, that an apartment building is a community under one roof. Rules regarding things like pets, noise and what is safe to store and use on your balcony are there for the benefit of all tenants. If in doubt, ask.
frpo report
respect is a TWO WAY STREET
If you own a bicycle, check as to whether you can keep it on your balcony, or the building has a bike storage area. If the elevators are small, it may pose a safety hazard to have people transporting their bikes in and out.
As a renter, you are privileged to live in an apartment that is provided and maintained by someone else. When all tenants obey the rules, the quality of life is raised for everyone involved. Remember that respect is a two-way street.
To learn more about your rights and responsibilities as a tenant, visit the website of the Landlord and Tenant Board of Ontario at www.ltb.gov.on.ca/en/index.html, where you will find a Guide to the Residential Tenancies Act. You will also find a wealth of information at www.frpo.org.

LesLie styLes, foodie & traveL aficionado, shares some deLicious dishes found on her traveLs around the worLd
red LentiL soup with Bacon, cumin & harissa
› 5 slices (4-ounces) bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
› 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
› 1 medium onion, finely chopped
› 4 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice
› 1 1/2 cups red lentils
› 1 tsp ground cumin
› 2 tbsp tomato paste
› 2 tsp harissa paste
› 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
› 1/2 cup white wine and 1/2 cup water
› 6 tbsp low fat yogurt
› 6 fresh sprigs of basil, for garnish
ingredients serves four to six
directions
In a large saucepan over medium-
high heat, cook the bacon until crisp,
about 3 minutes. Transfer the bacon
to a piece of paper towel, and set
aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of
the bacon drippings from pan. Add
the garlic, onion, and carrots to
saucepan. Cook vegetables over
medium heat until tender, about 5
minutes. Add the the lentils, cumin,
harissa (or tomato paste), chicken
stock, wine and water; stir to
combine. Simmer until the lentils are
cooked and falling apart, about 25-30
minutes. The soup is fairly thick, so
if you prefer it thinner just add more
stock or water. Using an immersion
or regular blender, purée the soup,
leaving it somewhat chunky or
smooth. Reheat if necessary, stirring
in the lemon juice. To serve, divide
the hot soup among four warmed
soup plates and garnish with the
reserved crumbled bacon, a dollop of
yogurt and fresh sprig of basil.
red lentils or “masoor dal” in India, are one of my favourite types of legume, full of fiber, protein, and iron, they’re a near perfect food. Wonderfully versatile, they cook faster than other varieties and can be paired with a
multitude of ingredients. This savoury Moroccan-spiced recipe for Red Lentil Soup with Bacon, Cumin and Harissa is both comforting and delicious, and gets an extra kick from the harissa, a hot chili paste typically associated with Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria.
Most lentil soups fall into one of two categories: highly spiced, or not spiced – sometimes called bland. This one sits very happily at the spicy end with the harissa adding a tolerable amount of heat and a wonderful complexity of flavour. A hearty, thick and satisfying soup, the bacon, cumin and yogurt add a robust note to this delicious low fat soup, perfect for a cold winter evening. The vibrant golden hue adds a beautiful burst of colour to the bleakest of winter months.
