Life events get you moving

A move in the market

Susan LeggeEditor-in-Chief / Director of ContentYellow Pages NextHomeEmail: [email protected]: @SusanLegge

Elisa KrovblitSenior EditorYellow Pages NextHomeEmail: [email protected]: @ElisaKrovblit

The decision to move is often

triggered by a life event, such as a new

job or a new addition to the family, or

simply because you want a change of

scenery.

Whatever the reason, it’s important

to address what your new needs are

before you start hunting for a new

place – rather than during. With all of

the information available to you these

days, it’s easy to get distracted.

To keep you on track and up to

date on the latest listings available

across Canada, check out this issue

and our new website, ypnexthome.ca.

Not only will you fi nd an easy way to

connect with prospective properties,

you’ll be able to dig deep on details

such as such as costs, neighbourhood

information and much more.

Deciding to move is easy, it’s fi nding

the right place that can sometimes be

tough. Let us help.

Drop us a line and let us know if

you have any questions or comments.

We’d love hearing from you.

If you’ve moved lately, then you

know it’s not a “renter’s market” right

now. Gone are the days of rampant

promotions, like a big screen TV

or free rent, to lure in prospective

tenants. Now, most vacancies get a

mountain of applications – the best

apartments seem out of reach.

But the tides are turning. If not a

massive shift, at least the national .5

per cent increase in vacancy rates is a

move in the right direction.

With market rent in most major

Canadian cities signifi cantly higher

now, rental is becoming a good

investment, and developers are

beginning to develop new purpose-

built rental buildings. The completion

of numerous condo projects provides

additional inventory through private

landlords. Investors are getting into

the rental game, and soon they’ll be

back to vying for your rental dollars.

Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide.

For more info on the rental market

and rental living insight check out

ypnexthome.ca, YPNextHome App

and get ready to make your move.

EAST

THIS FORMER WORKING class

neighbourhood, where Irish

immigrants settled more than a

century ago, is one of the last to be

transformed into a community on the

move. With a prestigious location at

the foot of the escarpment, it’s now a

burgeoning hot spot.

There are schools, trails and a

sense of safety, due in large part to

neighbourhood associations holding

events and activities that draw in

positive infl uences and visitors. It’s a

brief walk to take the kids to school

or one of many parks, hit the rail trail,

hop on the GO or walk to downtown.

Work, play and dine is the essence

Neighbourhood Profi le

A community on the move

Corktown

of today’s Corktown. When the work’s

done at home, there are dozens of

options for dining or grabbing a bite

and a beer. Bikable and walkable, it

ranks high on walkability scales.

Not exactly downtown, but close

enough, Corktown o ers the best of

both worlds: nightlife plus a place to

live in an area following the trends

and tastes of city living. The Art Deco-

styled Hamilton GO Station is ideal

for those commuting to the GTA. St.

Joseph’s Hospital, several schools and

a rec centre.

With its tiny streets and dead ends

truncated by the CN tracks and

overpasses, tra� c is often limited.

The Hamilton Street Railway (HSR)

travels along predominant roads to

o er regular bus service. There is also

DARTS service for those who require

accessible transportation

From Millennials and Gen Xers to

Boomers, they can dine, fi nd a co ee

shop and pick up essentials without

breaking the bank. Variety is key and

within reach on adjoining streets.

Advice | APARTMENTALITY

MOVING DAYTiming your move to minimize stress

MORE INFO ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice

MOVING CAN BE a real chore.

Between apartment searching,

paperwork, giving notice and

booking movers, you’re probably

fi nding yourself impatient to get it all

over with. As excited as you might be

to get out of your current place, it’s

a good idea to build in a few days of

overlap between your old and new

lease. Having extra time to clean,

pack and tie up loose ends before

turning in your keys can help cut

down on moving day stress.

But if your old lease ends right

when your new lease starts, things

can get a little tricky. According to

the Landlord and Tenant Board of

Ontario, you’re required to be moved

out of your unit by 11:59pm on the

last day of your lease, and you can

take possession of a new unit at 12am

on the fi rst day of your lease.

“It’s not ideal to schedule your

move on the exact closing date of

your lease,” says Nicole McNeely,

marketing manager at Park Property

Management. If you’re timing your

moves very closely together, make

sure to talk to your both your old and

new landlords. In some cases, they

may have some fl exibility to add a

couple extra days on your lease or let

you move in early, so you and your

boxes won’t have to resort to couch-

surfi ng at your great-aunt’s house.

Also, If there’s currently a tenant living

in the unit you’re slated to move into,

it wouldn’t hurt to confi rm with your

new landlord that they’ll be gone by

the time you’re planning on moving

in, to avoid any unwelcome surprises.

In the event you fi nd yourself

having to move out and in on

the same day, it’s important to be

organized. McNeely suggests getting

in touch with the superintendent

to book an elevator, if needed, and

coordinating with your moving

company to ensure your belongings

can go straight from your unit into

the truck. This way, you’re not

wasting time waiting for the movers

to show up, or paying extra for your

movers to wait around until the

elevator opens up.

Being organized also includes

being fully packed and ready to go

on the day of the move. McNeely

estimates that it can take two people

at least three days to pack a three-

bedroom home, so it’s important to

give yourself enough time. You may

also want to arrange for your mail to

be forwarded to your new address,

so you don’t miss the delivery of any

important items.

Even though moving may never be

your idea of fun, keeping these things

in mind can help make the process

headache-free.

Advice | RENTAL RANTINGS

What it says about youYour rental decor

By Jennifer Braun

LIKE IT OR NOT, your home style says a lot

about you. It’s your most intimate and personal

space after all, and the one place you run back

to day in and day out. Your friends, family, and

recent connections are reading the signs when

they enter your home and are making some

interesting notes.

Don’t send out mixed signals. This is what your

home decor is saying about you:

STILL LOOKS LIKE MOVE-IN DAY

Decorating a rental might feel impossible

because of painting and other decor restrictions,

but leaving your apartment bare gives o� the

impression that you’re lazy and uninventive. You

have paintings to hang up, they’ve just been

leaning against the wall since move-in day and

any other attempt at home decor basically began

and ended when you bought red pillows for the

living room. White walls and parquet fl ooring is

not a home style! Stop being afraid of taking a

few risks and start adding some personality to

your home.

MIX AND MATCH EVERYTHING

You don’t like to be confi ned by labels or limited

by a certain aesthetic. You have eclectic taste.

Your home style is a mix and match of second-

hand furniture from your parents’ home, a

combination of bad house warming gifts and

items you refuse to live without. You just can’t

say no to the things you love or bear to let a

good item go to waste. Your taste won’t please

everybody, but at least we know you’re all about

functionality and living by your own rules.

I REALLY REALLY LOVE MY HOBBIES

It doesn’t matter if you’re a sports fanatic or a

movie enthusiast, your love for whatever hobby

you choose is self-evident at fi rst home glance.

Your favourite sports teams and movie series

dominate your home decor in the form of colour

schemes, wall decor, co� ee mugs, pillow shams

and more. We can tell you’re passionate for the

things and people you love, and you’re not afraid

to show it. You take the time and you put the time

into the things you care about.

MODERN MINIMALIST

If your home has a modern and minimalist style,

you like to be on trend without taking big risks.

You are low maintenance just like your home

style. Clean lines, modern furniture and low

key colours like black and white dominate your

home’s decor. Still you get bored easily, so you

occasionally punch things up with new pillows

or faux fur throws. No big deal, you’re all about

easy-going living.

MY LIFE IS A MESS, I’LL JUST LEAVE THIS

HERE

You are constantly on the go and your home is a

refl ection of that. Somehow your kitchen table

has been turned into your home o� ce and your

living room is now a leftover snacking ground.

Everything seems to be in the wrong place and

you are quickly running out of home necessities

like toilet paper and co� ee. Luckily, your home is

just a refl ection of this current life period, you’ll

come around right after this work rush and piece

your home decor style back together.

Want to share the shame of bad decor – or show us how it’s done right? Perahps you have questions about rental living in general – get in touch! Just send us an email with your questions to [email protected] - perhaps the answer you need will be in the next Rental

RENTING vs OWNING10 reasons renting is better

MORE INFO ONLINEypnexthome.ca/advice

WHILE MANY PEOPLE idealize home

ownership and cling to it as a goal, in

this time of less stable employment and

rising interest rates, it’s not as appealing

you’d think. Especially after retirement,

the “perks” of home ownership pale in

comparison to the benefi ts of renting. If

you’re thinking about making a change

to your living situation, here are 10

good reasons why renting is preferable

to owning your home.

1. Mobility. If employment or other life

circumstances require you to move

to a di� erent city (or province), it’s a

lot easier to give your landlord notice

and hunt for an apartment than it

would be to put your home on the

market, sell it, and buy a new one.

2. Property maintenance. Whether

it’s shovelling snow for 90 days

straight in a heavy winter, raking

autumn leaves or mowing the

lawn in summer, outdoor tasks are

the responsibility of your landlord,

superintendent or management

company, unless your lease dictates

otherwise.

3. Fixture repair. When your shower

stops running properly, your landlord

is the one who has to call and pay

for the plumber. If the fridge or stove

needs replacing, that’s their fi nancial

responsibility.

4. Interest rate invulnerability.

Unlike homeowners, your rent is

fi xed and can only increase by small

increments dictated by law once the

lease expires. Not so the fi nancial

market, which could see you

renegotiating your mortgage every

couple of years as interest rates and

property values change.

5. Access to amenities. Pools, gyms,

party rooms and libraries are all

fairly common features of upscale

modern apartment buildings. In

addition, high-density housing is

often situated in the heart of the

city, close to entertainment and

shopping, which opens up a world of

possibilities for your social life.

6. No down payment. All you have

to come up with to secure your

apartment in Ontario is enough to

cover your fi rst and last month’s

rent. Elsewhere across Canada

some landlords may ask for a

security deposit rather than the last

month, but it will usually end up

being applied that way – at any rate,

deposits aren’t excessive. With the

average home price in Canada now

well over $400k, even a very small

down payment plus legal fees, plus

home inspection, plus, plus, plus – it

all adds up to a big investment and a

lot of money to pay out on key day.

7. Safety. Living in a rental unit

typically means living near a lot of

other people, and while that can

occasionally be irksome, those

country music fans who hold a

stomping hootenanny every Saturday

night are also going to hear you

scream if you’re in trouble, or notice

if your car hasn’t moved or your mail

starts piling up.

8. Cheaper insurance. Unlike

homeowners, renters do not have

to insure the property – only the

contents. When you get your renters

insurance, expect to be paying

approximately half of what you

would if you owned your home.

Canadian renters’ insurance averages

$20 to 30 a month in most parts of

the country.

9. No property taxes. While you can

assume that at least some of the rent

you pay goes towards covering that

cost for your landlord, it isn’t your

fi nancial responsibility. Your rent

remains stable and increases in a

predictable fashion.

10. Lower utility costs. Heating (or

cooling) a larger space than that

which you actually occupy is one of

the downsides of home ownership.

Rental units have more compact

fl oor plans, and in the winter you

may even benefi t from ambient

heat from the building around you,

depending on its layout.

areas, peering into other people’s apartments, houses and yards.
