Who let the LANDLORD IN?

RentersGuide.ca

RentersGuide.ca

RentersGuide.ca

RentersGuide.ca

ONE FEAR MOST TENANTS HAVE REVOLVES AROUND THE CONCERN OF when the Landlord can enter their premises and for what reason. The question is: When and why a Landlord can enter the property, and whether the Landlord needs to provide you with notice. Thankfully, there are rules that govern Landlords on whether they can make unexpected visits to your home. Generally, prior written notice must be given to a Tenant but under certain situations, a Landlord may enter the property without notice.

YOUR RIGHTS AS A TENANT

Tenants have a right to privacy, and a right to undisturbed possession from the landlord. The wording used in different Provinces varies between reasonable enjoyment and quiet enjoyment. There are many different circumstances that could lead you to believe that the Landlord is interfering with your quiet enjoyment. Examples include:

a) The Landlord entering the rental premises frequently and without notice or permission;

b) The Landlord causing unreasonable and ongoing noise, ie. from repairs construction maintenance etc.;

c) The Landlord intentionally removing or restricting services explicitly promised in the rental agreement;

d) The Landlord allowing the property to fall into disrepair

Who let the LANDLORD IN?

RentersGuide.ca

ONE FEAR MOST TENANTS HAVE REVOLVES AROUND THE CONCERN OF when the Landlord can enter their premises and for what reason. The question is: When and why a Landlord can enter the property, and whether the Landlord needs to provide you with notice. Thankfully, there are rules that govern Landlords on whether they can make unexpected visits to your home. Generally, prior written notice must be given to a Tenant but under certain situations, a Landlord may enter the property without notice.

YOUR RIGHTS AS A TENANT

Tenants have a right to privacy, and a right to undisturbed possession from the landlord. The wording used in different Provinces varies between reasonable enjoyment and quiet enjoyment. There are many different circumstances that could lead you to believe that the Landlord is interfering with your quiet enjoyment. Examples include:

a) The Landlord entering the rental premises frequently and without notice or permission;

b) The Landlord causing unreasonable and ongoing noise, ie. from repairs construction maintenance etc.;

c) The Landlord intentionally removing or restricting services explicitly promised in the rental agreement;

d) The Landlord allowing the property to fall into disrepair

ENTERING WITH WRITTEN NOTICE

Your Landlord – except in extraordinary situations as provided by law – needs to provide written notice that outlines when and why he wants to enter your property. This must be done at least 24 hours in advance. Unless such notice has been served upon you as provided in your Provincial legislation, a landlord may only enter your property under a few exceptions. Below are some examples of entry with notice:

a) Fixing something or to check on appliances that are no longer working

b) Making sure the home is safe (such as installing smoke alarms)

c) Showing the home to someone who wants to buy it

d) Other reasonable reasons stated in the signed rental agreement or provided by law

ENTRY WITHOUT WRITTEN NOTICE

a) Emergency

Each Province has its own Residential Tenancy legislation that sets out the circumstances when a Landlord can enter without notice. Generally a common thread is that a Landlord can enter the property in the case of an emergency. An emergency is usually defined as something that is both unexpected and dangerous. A good example would be a fire or flood. In these circumstances, your Landlord does not need to provide notice before entering your property. Repairing something that has broken in your home does not count as an emergency.

b) Consent

You can always consent to the landlord entering your property.

c) Provision of Services set out in Rental Agreement

The Landlord, or his agents, could enter their property for a variety of reasons outlined in the rental agreement. For example, a housekeeper could enter the property on the agreed times of the rental agreement. These services generally have to be between certain hours of the day. Check with your local Landlord and Tenant Bureau for the hours of when the Landlord may provide these services.

There are other issues, like moving, when written notice is not required and again, your local authority will set the hours. All in all, neither side can abuse their rights when it comes to this area, as the law is clear that provided parties act reasonably and follow the law. The local tribunal will generally support them.

Hope this gives you some idea of how complex this all can be. Most Provincial Governments offer easy access to help. Go online, check the blue pages and know your rights whether a Landlord or a Tenant

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. So help me!!!

Ted Whitehead is director of Certification, Certified Rental Building Program, Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO).

BY TED WHITEHEAD

AT THE FEDERATION OF RENTAL-HOUSING PROVIDERS OF ONTARIO (FPRO), we are proud of our established Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP), and the component we added in 2013, called Living Green Together. The new environmental practice standards embrace the best interests of tenants and the environment. When choosing a Certified Rental Building, consumers know they will be living in a residence that has a Property Manager and Staff who take steps to ensure a good quality of life for tenants and who are working to minimize the environmental impact of their daily operations.

Our program is called Living Green Together for a reason.

We ask tenants in our Certified Rental Buildings to be part of our environmentally responsible community. The small efforts individuals make on a daily basis add up to big energy, waste and water savings.

For example, did you know that a tap that leaks one drop of water per seconds will waste more than 25 litres of water in a day? So it is critical to report dripping taps and leaky toilets as soon as possible, so your property manager can see to the repair quickly.

On the subject of water, other positive practices you and your family can embrace are to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and shaving, shower rather than bathe (shower uses approximately 83 litres of water; a bath around 220 litres), and keep drinking water in the fridge rather than running the tap until it comes out cool.

Lower energy bills benefit everyone. For example, use energy-efficient light bulbs over incandescent bulbs, and by the way, your mother was right – turn off the lights when you leave a room. Lower your thermostat at night and when you go out, and cook in a microwave or toaster oven rather than firing up your stove. Unplug electrical devices when not in use. This may sound trivial, but on average, 40 per cent of electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while these units are in standby mode.

When it comes to waste, be aware that every person in Ontario produces over 5.5 pounds of waste per day. Recycling cuts down dramatically on this figure. As a rental building tenant, you can do your part to help by recycling paper, plastic, aluminum and glass. Remember that one pop can takes 300 years to break down in a landfill site. If your apartment building has an organic waste program then recycling is even better. You may not realize that organic waste in landfill sites helps to produce 38 per cent of Canada’s total methane gas emissions, which are far more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

There are many other ways you can lower your personal carbon footprint, such as recycling batteries, taking public transit when it is available, and replacing disposable items with reusable ones. Taking those cloth bags shopping makes a lot of sense as does purchasing a reusable coffee filter!

Again, these individual efforts may seem trivial, but think of it this way: if millions of people each take steps to lessen their water and energy usage and waste production, the overall results are astounding. When we work together, we make a real difference in protecting our environment and creating greener apartment communities.

BY GAIL VAZ-OXLADE

SO, YOU’RE GETTING MARRIED?

Treat your money like a company would, and turn a profit

So where do you start? That’s got to be the toughest part of all.

I think you should start here: “Honey, we need to talk.”

1. Who is going to manage the money? I’m not a big proponent of one person taking on all the financial responsibility in a household. Nope. That’s a recipe for resentment, abdication and disaster. I’d recommend

you skip that meal.

But you do have to talk about who is going to manage which aspects of the money, how, when, where, and how that body is going to keep the other body up-to-date on what’s going on.

This, of course, raises questions such as, “How many accounts will we have?” (“To Consolidate or Not to Consolidate?”) and “How will we keep

up to date on our money” (“We Inc.”)

It also necessitates coming clean (“Coming Clean”) – a full disclosure of what you own, what you owe, what you’re like with money, and how you plan to negotiate your way though the road blocks.

I’m a big believer

WHAT A GREAT TIME IN YOUR LIFE. SO MUCH MYSTERY AHEAD. So much to be happy about. You’re probably very excited if you’re planning a lovely wedding. And you’ll be setting up a home together. Lots to think about, right?

in taking turns when it comes to the day-to-day money management: She does it from January to June, and he does it from July to December. That way, you both get the aggravation, the discipline and the sense of how easy or hard it is for the other. Doing a mid-year hand-over also creates a prime opportunity for you to have an in-depth look at how you are doing, where you’re going, and what needs to be tweaked in the plan.

2. Who’s bringing in the moolah? Will you both work? Full time or part-time? Doing what and making how much? What are your plans for further schooling? For when the babies start arriving? Will one parent stay home? Who? For how long? Will you use daycare or a nanny or family care or something else for childcare? These important questions lay the foundation for your budget.

Life can be very expensive and many couples choose to use the early years of marriage to establish themselves financially. Others plunge right into the baby game, often without having giving a moment’s thought to the financial implications. If you don’t know how much income you’re going to have, you’re asking for trouble.

3. How will we handle the household expenses? A lot of couples have trouble with this question. It raises power and control issues people would rather ignore until later. Ignore at your own risk.

You have a bunch of options here. You can:

• split everything fifty-fifty, which is completely fair if you make exactly the same amount of money, and until one of you starts making more or less, or you have babies, or someone gets sick, or someone has the opportunity for a career move that also moves the family.

• you can split the expenses proportionately. He makes $50,000. She makes $75,000. So he pays 40 percent of the expenses, and she pays 60. Again, great, as long as you continue to monitor the incomes and proportion of expenses you’re assuming, and adjust as your incomes change.

• you pool all the money, set your goals together, and take a “mad money” amount for your individual indulgences.

Guess which one’s my favorite! But it’s not my money. It’s your money. And you have to come to an agreement you each feel (really feel, not pretend to feel) is fair and equitable.

My whole take on the money thing is this: If I’m good enough to marry, I’m good enough to share fully and completely with. If you have to keep score, it just makes things a whole lot more complicated.

My husband and I have been married a loooooong time now (and since we’re both re-marriages, we’ve actually beaten the odds). Sometimes I’ve made more. Sometimes he’s made more. Always we’ve shared. And a good thing too since its only a matter of time before the one of us needs the other. That’s what a marriage, a partnership for life, a fully committed relationship, is about. It isn’t always easy. And no one says there aren’t bumps. But if you make the money something you fight over, build up resentments over, or seethe silently over, you’re doomed.

4. How much personal spending money should each of us have that doesn’t have to be accounted for? Couples often leave this out of their budgets. The reality is that you each need some money of your own or you’ll drive each other crazy. I don’t have to check with Ken when I want to buy yet another book, bottle of grapefruit shower gel or plant. And he doesn’t have to ask me permission to dip into the account for his coffee or a new Buddha (of which he has quite the collection now, I’ll tell you!)

Each of us needs some personal spending money to spend as we wish without having to account for it, regardless of how much (or little) we contribute to the household coffers. Whether it’s money we spend on hobbies, gifts, or small indulgences, if we don’t have it, we go crazy! Decide what is fair – in this case equal is fair – and work it into your budget.

5. How much can we spend on a purchase without needing consent from the other person? Okay, here’s a big one. People go out and shop up a storm and then come home and lie about how much they spent to keep their partners off their backs. Great! A relationship built on trust!

Or people go out and spend up a storm, and then come home and tell their partners who then believe they have permission to go out and spend up a storm in retaliation. Great! A relationship based on equality!

Can you see the problem?

Set a limit on how much either of you can spend before consulting with each other. If your budget is tight, this may be as little as $20; for others it might be $500. If one of you is a shop-a-holic, make the number low. If one of you is a miser, negotiate a slightly higher number. Decide on an amount that won’t throw your budget totally out of whack and won’t create resentment.

6. What is your attitude toward money? I’ve worked with enough people now to know that how we feel about money is a big deal. And I’ve worked with enough people to know that it’s our personality, not simply the environment we come from, that dictates how we feel about our money.

Talk about how money makes you feel. How much do you need in your wallet, in your bank account, in your shoe, to feel safe? How does spending make you feel? What’s more important, having a dollar or spending a dollar? How much debt is too much debt?

If you are just the same, you may be fine, or you may find yourself supporting your significant other in some bad habits. If you are completely different you may be fine or you may find yourself butting heads with your partner on a too-regular basis. Ultimately, whether you are fine or not depends on how well you understand yourself and your partner.

7. What assets and liabilities are you bringing to the marriage? If you can’t tell each other the truth about your money, don’t bother getting married because you’re already doomed. If you don’t know how much your buddy makes, how much he spends, how much she owns and how he deals with his bills, you’re a dope. What? Are you so dumb-in-love that you’d marry a pig in a poke? Are you so head-over-heals that you’re prepared to walk blindfolded over the cliff? Get a grip!

If you don’t know how much your buddy makes, how much he spends, how much she owns and how he deals with his bills, you’re a dope. What? Are you so dumb-in-love that you’d marry a pig in a poke? Are you so head-over-heals that you’re prepared to walk blindfolded over the cliff? Get a grip!

Each partner needs to know exactly what the other person is bringing to the table: how much is in your chequing account, savings account, retirement account; how much you have in student loans, car loans, other loans, your line of credit and on your credit cards – all of them; what your credit histories looks like; and, of course, how much you make and where it goes.

Very often I meet people who are perfectly happy to live together or get married (join their lives) without being willing to take on the debts of their partner (join their money.) Whazzup with that? Why would you want to marry someone who you’re not willing to go to bat for, or who isn’t willing to go to bat for you? Do you have any idea how hard it is to stay married? If you aren’t prepared to pony up and help each other through thick and thin, then just throw a party and skip the nuptials.

8. How will we cope if we fall into financial distress? Stuff happens. People get sick. People die. Businesses fail. Jobs are lost. His mother becomes a dependant. Her brother needs to be bailed out, yet again. How will you deal with the myriad changes in financial circumstances that come with a long life lived together.

It’s all well and good to think that as long as you keep your house in order, you’ll be fine. But it just ain’t so. Just when you think everything is going smoothly, reality bites! If you don’t have a plan for dealing with life’s ups and downs, you’re asking for more stress than you can handle.

Do you each have any/enough life insurance? Disability insurance? You’ve got your wills done? You’re willing to name your new partner as your power of attorney for both financial and medical emergencies? And you’re talking about how you’ll deal with your elders as they become more elderly? How much will you set aside each month for emergencies?

Sounds like a drag? I’m not surprised. Most of the just-in-case conversations have less to do with winning the lottery (yeah!) than with dealing with unforeseen negative financial changes (bummer!). But talk about it you must.

I always knew my husband would want his mom to come live with us when she got to the point where she couldn’t take care of herself any more. So when the time came, it was no big surprise. And he always knew I’d support him, but that it’d be his job to look after his mom. No big surprises there either.

You better talk about this, and everything else that life can throw at you. Play the, “So, what do you think you’d do if…” game and work through all the scenarios you can think of. That’s way better than being rushed into a decision you’ve never thought about in any detail, and then becoming resentful about the compromises you’re having to make.

9. Who will we use as a guide to help us through some of our financial decision-making? There are bankers. There are financial planners. There are insurance brokers, chartered accountants, tax consultants, debt consolidators, investment brokers… the list goes on. So, whom will you hire to help you? It has to be someone you both trust. And it has to be someone who understands who you – specifically the two of

you – are, not some generic couple that shares some of your circumstances.

10. What does our life look like in five years? This question is a great way to talk about your hopes and dreams. Does one of you want to go back to school, start your own business or own a vacation home? And if you plan to raise a family, how many children will you have and when? Would you both continue working, or would one spouse want to stay home with the kids? If you’re going to buy a home, will it be in the city or the country and what will it look like? Talking about what you imagine your life will look like will help you set priorities and identify goals.

One final piece of advice: Don’t sweat the small stuff. While you’ll hear people say that marriage is about compromise, I disagree. I hate the word compromise. I compromised so much in my second marriage, that I compromised myself right out the door. Stupid!

People will get into a scrap over the dumbest things: whether to buy name-brand or off-brand at the supermarket; whether to check six places before deciding you’ve got the best deal; whether to drive half-way across town for the 75¢ off on toilet paper, whether to use coupons or not, whether to go big or go home. If you spend good energy dickin’ around on stupid stuff, you’ll wear out each other’s good will.

I like to say that marriage is about negotiation. If I get what I want, then you get what you want. If this thing we’re negotiating is a four (on a scale of one to ten) for me but an eight for you, you can have it. But the next one will likely be mine. Pick your battles and save your energy for issues that really matter. Believe me, there will be enough of them.
