renting an apartment over owning a home makes lots of financial sense for people in many different life situations. Maybe you just can’t afford to buy a home or don’t want to spend

your hard-earned money on one. Maybe you have a plan to buy a home in a few years and want to start saving for a down payment. Or maybe you’re simply not interested in the cost and commitment that come with being a homeowner. No matter why you’re renting an apartment, you need to know your rights as a tenant. As part of the process, your landlord must give you a copy of the agreement after you sign and return it. Since this document outlines all the terms you’ve agreed to, it’s an important document to have on hand. You should avoid breaking a lease if at all possible. Each lease agreement has its own penalties for not honouring the outlined terms. Be sure to check your lease to make sure you can handle the financial ramifications that come with breaking a lease – before you break it.

it’s Earth Day on April 22. It’s great that there’s a day that brings mass attention to the Earth, the environment and the issues that are occurring. While being Green has been gaining popularity year-over-

year, and more and more people are becoming conscious of their personal impact on the world around them, there’s still much to be done. Earth Day is a great time for people to share their efforts and spread awareness about important environmental issues.

This year why not check out some of the festivities, get involved, learn and have fun. Earthday.ca has numerous events and initiatives to attend and try. By living in an apartment you’re already living Green. Multi-family dwellings are more efficient and have more energy savings than single-family homes. You may want to think about things like your energy consumption – can you turn off appliances and unplug electronics when they’re not in use? Can switch to energy-saving light bulbs? Can you do your laundry in cold water instead of hot? How about a community swap? Instead of landfill, might someone else in your apartment need those items – from books to clothes and furniture that you no longer want? Learn how to dispose of hazardous materials properly, from batteries to fluorescent bulbs and paint. Green isn’t just a colour, it’s a lifestyle, and it’s a responsibility everyone needs to embrace.

With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place to go Green! Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Why does the return of longer days and warmer temperatures trigger an urge to purge our

homes of clutter and engage in cleaning them from top to bottom? The good weather means we can fi nally relegate our boots and heavy outerwear to the back of the closet. In tackling your own apartment organize the task into de-cluttering and cleaning and spread it out over a period of several weeks.

DE-CLUTTERINGThoroughly clean all boots, footwear and

outerwear and clean out your coat closet.

Go through your collection of hats, gloves,

and scarves, washing and cleaning where

necessary, discarding odd gloves and

organizing all into storage baskets. Wash

your boot tray or hallway mat and put away

in a closet until next winter.

Remove everything from your pantry.

Straighten up all your dry ingredients,

discarding stale boxes of cereal, cookies,

crackers, etc. Take an inventory of what

you need and replenish with fresh spices,

oils and other staples. Check under the

sink and refresh your supply of sponges,

cleaning products and other supplies. Go

through your dishes, cutlery and cookware,

discarding odd, broken items or things

you never use. Treat yourself to a trip

to a kitchen supply store and purchase

something that will make food preparation

and serving easier, such as a good set of

storage containers, some new glasses, or a

special serving piece.

Spring is a good time to go through your

books, CDs and DVDs. Is it time for a

new media storage unit or bookshelf?

Apartment storage space is limited and you

don’t want to become a pack rat. Does your

coffee table look like a war zone? Move

everything off of it and re-evaluate what

you want it to be, a focal point for the room

or a catch-all for your books and papers.

Go through your upper and lower

bathroom cupboards, discarding all expired

cosmetics and other products. Replace and

replenish soaps, body wash, shampoo,

sunscreen, paper products, etc. Check the

condition of your towels – if you can afford

it, spring is a good time to invest in a set of

new ones.

Take time to re-arrange your wardrobe,

so that warm weather garments are more

accessible. Wash or dry clean garments

before storing them in zippered bags.

Go through your closets, drawers, shoe

collection, cleaning, polishing, repairing

and discarding where necessary. Donate

apparel you no longer use. Many apartment

buildings now have charity drop boxes

right on the grounds; if yours doesn’t,

take things you no longer need or use to

Goodwill.

CLEANINGTurn off your refrigerator and begin by

cleaning the dust off the coils (these are

usually at the bottom, under the grill).

Clean with a vacuum attachment or damp

cloth. Remove everything from inside the

refrigerator and wash the bins and shelves

in hot soapy water, drying thoroughly.

Defrost the freezer and wipe the interior

with a solution of 2 tbs. baking soda per 1

litre hot water. Clean all the surfaces of the

kitchen, including the walls, backsplashes,

tops and doors of cupboards, and the oven.

Clean out your fi les, reviewing bank

statements, paid bills, contracts, household

inventories, warranties and other personal

documents. Clean your computer keyboard

with a cotton swab; wipe the screen with a

special cloth and spray cleaning solution.

Thoroughly clean or replace your mattress

pad. Replace winter bedding with lighter,

warm weather blankets. Clean your pillows

to rid them of mould, bacteria and odours.

If you’ve been using your balcony as a

storeroom, now is the time to move those

snow tires, bicycles and other large items

out of sight. On a warm day, clean your

balcony sliding door. Mix up a solution of

one part white vinegar and one part hot

water. Using a large sponge, rub the glass

with the water and vinegar solution to rub

away the dirt. Wet a squeegee and wipe the

glass thoroughly. Wipe the surfaces with

lint-free cloths like cloth diapers or other

cloths that have not been laundered with

fabric softener which will leave a residue.

Clean the frames down as well.

Wipe down or vacuum all furniture and

other surfaces, such as windowsills and

baseboards. Clean window coverings and

rugs. Check the batteries in your smoke

detector and ensure they are fee of dust.

Moving all the furniture to clean around

and underneath where possible, dust and

vacuum every room in the apartment,

then wash and mop all fl oors. Open the

windows and let the fresh air and sunshine

in. Now, sit down and relax and enjoy the

pleasure of your clean apartment!

Here are 10 tips on how to prepare your dog:

1 Under no circumstances should you place your dog in the back of a moving truck.

Even safely tucked in a well-ventilated pet travel carrier, the truck is almost always hot (even in winter) and of course, the doors are closed.

2 Your dog will most likely want to play with the movers and probably everyone else, so

take him/her to a kennel, dog spa or have a friend or relative dogsit at their home, before the movers arrive. Those will be the best places for your furry friend; then you can devote your total attention to your moving activities.

3 If your dog must be with you during your move, keep your loved one outside or out of the

movers’ way. Dogs crave the attention of strangers and can create obstacles which will impede the move.

4 Have dog treats on hand for move day to keep your dog quiet. It’s also good way to

get your dog to listen and obey. And, it’s a great idea to have water and nutritious human treats for your movers as well.

5 Pack a separate box of your dog’s favourite toys. Once at your new home, your

dog may be frightened of the new surroundings, so, having familiar playthings ready will reduce stress levels.

6 Don’t forget that your dog will be excited on move day and will need plenty of

water. Exercise is the best way to

get your dog ready, more relaxed and calm for when the movers arrive. Depending on your dog’s age and size, draining your dog’s energy level may not be easy, so plan frequent walks. I know that a 30-minute walk barely makes a dent in our dog’s energy level.

7 Make sure you let your pet out for “mess” breaks. Nothing will ruin your

moving day experience more than a ‘surprise’ from your dog inside your new abode. Remember to clean up after your dog to avoid making a bad first impression on your neighbours.

8 If your dog will be around during the move, let your movers know ahead of time.

You’d be surprised how many men are afraid of dogs. Whether large or small animals, it doesn’t matter. Also, there are movers that are allergic to dogs.

9 After the move you will be busy unpacking, so don’t ignore your dog. Take regular

and long walks, if you can, to explore your new neighbourhood together or even short breaks from unpacking, to play. Time together will help your dog be better behaved during this change in everyone’s environment.

10 Have fun – moving into new digs is a time to celebrate. Have the

movers take a picture…you, your family and your dog in your new home. What a perfect reminder of the day you just shared.

Moving can be one of the most stressful events in life, so why should that be any different for your dog?

Why live anywhere else?

Earth Day is a reminder about the importance of respecting our

environment and doing all we can to protect our planet. Every year, over six million Canadians take part in Earth Day by doing simple things such as riding their bikes to work or using candles at night. This year show how important the environment is by pledging an act of green.

Here, in your own home, are some ways to take part in the world’s most celebrated environmental event. These tips are environmentally friendly and will save you money on your energy bills:

• Cool down your house with a

ceiling or electric fan and open up

the windows at night. Ceiling fans

cost about 1 cent for two hours

of use, compared to 67 cents to a

dollar for central air. Use your AC

only when necessary and be sure

to turn it off when you’re going to

be away from home long periods

of time.

• Invest in a programmable

thermostat. It will automatically

adjust the temperature in your

home, saving you energy while

you’re away or sleeping.

• Check the tightness of your

refrigerator seal by closing the

door on a piece of paper. If it’s

held in place, the seal is still good,

if not, it’s time to replace the seal

or fix the door’s alignment.

• Only do laundry when you have

full loads. If you have smaller

loads, make sure to use the correct

settings and if you only have a

couple of items, wait it out or

wash them by hand. NC

We spend about a third of our lives sleeping, so this simple item has a tremendous impact on our health and wellbeing. The good news is that lately, mattresses have taken an elevated place of importance, as celebrities are associating their names with manufacturers, specially branded products and their retailers. This practice has raised a new level of awareness and attracted attention to a topic that for far too long has been viewed as an afterthought by the general public.

A well-made mattress is, in fact, a piece of furniture that will last for years. In North America, most warranties cover a mattress for a decade, and they should perform well for that length of time. Despite warranty claims, some low-quality mattresses fail after only five or six years. This is significant enough that a mattress deserves to be selected with as much care as a dining table, dresser, sofa or the bed itself.

Speaking of mattresses as a piece of furniture, the sofa bed is another example. This popular item provides extra sleeping facilities for overnight guests without having to take up space in the room with a conventional full Double or Queen-size bed. It is dual purpose functional furniture that if made properly, sits identically to a high quality sofa. Many of today’s designs are superior to those that were on the market years ago, but you will still find a range of quality.

The same issues confront shoppers when looking for the right sofa bed. Since the sofa bed offers two complete functions sit-and-sleep, you would expect to pay more for both qualities.

Unfortunately, when treated as a discount item it is built most often with a lesser quality mattress inside the bed-mechanism and the result is compromised sitting and sleeping. The sleeper mattress will offer short-term sleeping comfort (sometimes not all!) and in use compromises and degrades the seating comfort of the sofa itself by failing to support the cushions.

Skimping on quality will mean a hard sofa, lumpy mattress, or perhaps both – defeating your purpose. How many of us hear stories of ‘good’ company staying overnight, using the sofa bed

décor

By Brad Warner

and experiencing an uncomfortable night’s sleep? They hate to complain, but they do to your embarrassment!

We have been making sofa bed mattresses for over 50 years. When shopping a good quality sofa bed, consider the quality of both the mattress and sofa. Consider its functionality in addition to its beauty. It should be easy to open and close, and comfortable in both its forms – your obvious goal in the first place. Take a look at the mechanism to observe how the mattress folds up into the sofa. In addition to being constructed with top-quality materials using today’s technology, a mattress can also be hand-crafted rather than merely mass produced. Marshall designs and assembles its sofa bed mattresses with quality layered natural-source padding, with a final step that involves tufting the padding throughout the full mattress construction. To the eye the upholstery padding is channeled, drawn together into place, dimpled

and looks as attractive below the cover as it is comfortable.

Barrymore Furniture carries our product, as do many other manufacturers. You can also find

high-quality sofa bed mattresses sold as upgrades in some stores that specialize in sofas, chairs and sofa beds. Many purchasers find it well worth the extra expense for the added comfort.

The point is to pay as much attention to your mattress purchase as you do to other furniture items, whether it’s for a full-size bed or part of a sofa bed.

You and your guests deserve a good night’s sleep, and the right mattress can make all the difference in the world.

It’s interesting that many people look at mattresses as merely a category, rather than what they are – personal furniture.

LesLie styLes, foodie & traveL aficionado, shares some deLicious dishes found on her traveLs around the worLd.

Zucchini, ricotta & feta fritters with dill

› 2 medium zucchini, coarsely shredded

› 1/4 cup ricotta cheese› 1/4 cup Greek yogurt› 2 tbsp feta, crumbled› 3 garlic cloves, minced› 3 large scallions, very thinly

sliced› 1/4 cups fresh dill, chopped

› 2 large eggs› 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest› Kosher salt and freshly ground

pepper› Olive or vegetable oil, for

frying› 3/4 cup all-purpose flour› Lemon wedges and tzatiki, for

serving

ingredients Makes about 20

directions

In a strainer, toss the shredded zucchini with the salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Then thoroughly squeeze out as much moisture as you can.

In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, ricotta, yogurt, feta, garlic, scallions, dill, eggs, lemon zest and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Stir well, then stir in the flour just until incorporated.

Line a large baking sheet with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil until shimmering. Working in batches, add 2-tablespoon mounds of the zucchini batter to the hot oil, spreading them to form three-inch fritters. Fry over moderately high heat, turning once, until browned and crisp, about three minutes. Drain the fritters on the paper towels and serve right away, with lemon wedges and a little tzatziki.

these delicious savoury zucchini, ricotta and feta fritters with dill are absolutely addictive. Low fat and low cal, it seems impossible that anything so healthy could taste so

great. Topped with a dollop of tzatziki, these fabulous fritters make an easy spring hors d’oeuvre or side dish served with some grilled fish or chicken. Tweak the recipe with some smoked mozzarella or pecorino cheese instead of the feta or some chopped spinach, sweet corn or fresh cilantro for more savoury twists on this true Italian classic.

Think protection when renting

frporeport

by Ted WhiTehead

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

40G

According to Statistics Canada, fewer than half of all tenants have this type of protection – and protection, it is.

As a renter, you are responsible for what happens in your unit. Household insurance should include a liability clause that will cover you should someone get injured in your apartment and sue. You may also be unaware that if you cause damage to other units in the building through your own carelessness, like water damage, for example, you could be liable for the repairs.

Renters who have not done their “homework” sometimes assume that the landlord’s insurance will cover them, when in fact, it does not. The property insurance which landlords purchase covers the building and their own personal liability. This means that your personal belongings are not protected unless you purchase tenant insurance that covers your stuff.

Let’s say the apartment building burns down. The landlord’s insurance would cover repairs to the structure, but you would have to purchase replacements for all of your personal furniture and other possessions. If that sounds like it’s not a big deal – think again.

People are usually astounded at the value of what they own. The best way to appreciate this fact is to take one room and list the items in it. Then write down what it would cost to replace each one and add it up. Clothing, shoes and coats can cost thousands.

And, most people today own computers, entertainment equipment and other items that would be difficult to afford all at once if they were ruined by fire or water. Discuss the policy possibilities with your insurance agent. You can purchase a policy that covers what your possessions are worth in their used state, or you can buy a policy that covers replacement costs.

Another reason to consider insuring your contents is that sometimes your items are covered outside of your apartment. If your laptop is stolen on a trip, as it TheRentersGuide.ca

At the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO), we find that people often do not understand the importance of purchasing tenant

insurance when they move into an apartment.

is part of your property, it may be covered under your policy. It’s always worth checking with your agent or broker.

Additionally, if you are a student renting housing while in university, have your parents check as to whether you might be covered under their home insurance policy.

If you choose an apartment building that has successfully completed the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP), be sure to ask the building manager or property manager for advice about insurance.

The CRBP was created by FRPO to help ensure a high quality of life for tenants in certified buildings. Part of that commitment is to provide information to potential tenants that helps them to make their rental decision with confidence. It’s all about peace of mind.
