Deciding to move is easy

You and the view

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

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

Looking for a new place can be

overwhelming.The stress of fi nding

something suitable, plus the pressure

to sign legally binding contracts can

create a lot of anxiety.

However, anxiety can be controlled,

if not eliminated by managing two

important factors: how prepared you

are fi nancially and how knowledgable

you are about the process. This

includes the details of your

transaction, what is expected from

you from a legal standpoint and all of

your fi nancial obligations.

With so much information available

these days on the web, it’s easy to

get distracted. For tips and fi nancial

advice, and the latest property 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, fi nding a

place that matches your criteria can

be the tough part. Let us help. Drop

us a line and let us know if you have

any questions or comments. We’d

love to hear from you.

Not everyone cares about windows.

I fi nd this completely surprising since

I’m a big fan of the view and sunshine

streaming into my home. I’m forever

opening, closing and adjusting curtains

and blinds. It’s something I’ve always

considered and checked out when

looking at a potential new home.

When you look for apartments,

make sure you take a good look.

Are you facing a wall? Are you in an

exposure that’s going to give you

daylight when you want it? Are you

going to get the glorious sunsets

from your balcony? Do you do shift

work? Sunshine streaming into your

bedroom all day may not be what

you’re after. On the other hand, are

you going to have enough privacy?

City views, water views, great

expanses of greenscape – the setting

you choose may make a huge impact

on you, so check it out!

It’s the little things that can impact

your rental experience in a big way.

Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide

and check out our advice, info and

listings on ypnexthome.ca and the

YPNextHome App and get ready to

make your move.

STONEY CREEK begins east of the Red

Valley Parkway, including the area

from Lake Ontario up to Rymal Road,

and ends where Grimsby begins, at

Fifty Road/11th Road East. The area is

popular among families, young urban

professionals as well as seniors.

Outdoorsy types who still require

urban comforts will really feel at

home in Stoney Creek. You can go

for a hike atop the World Biosphere

Reserve, looking out on what can

only be described as a panoramic

vista, then take a short drive down the

parkway to all of the shopping and

cultural options that Hamilton has to

o� er.

Neighbourhood Profi le

The best of both worlds

Stoney Creek

Most of the original settlement

took place below “the Mountain” (aka

the Niagara Escarpment), but there’s

been a recent housing boom in the

formerly very rural upper town, where

several new subdivisions have grown

in the last decade, with many more

on the horizon.

Families raising children and

younger professionals make up a

good chunk of the population, but

there’s a healthy percentage of active

seniors living here too, particularly in

lower Stoney Creek.

There are a lot of families in

Stoney Creek and a lot of elementary

schools, most of which are in the

more established part of town below

the escarpment.

Stoney Creek has decent public

transit. Cyclists will fi nd bike lanes and

paths make it easier to get around,

but most residents still drive to work

and for errands. Close proximity to

the QEW (via three interchanges),

the Red Valley Parkway, Highway 8,

and Highway 20 make it an excellent

choice for commuters.

Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up. She loves nothing more than exploring new

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

MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice

EMPLOYERS CHECK REFERENCES,

landlords check references, and if

you’re considering someone as a

roommate, you should check their

references too. A person can seem

charming initially, then later on turn

into a nightmare. Do your homework

and avoid such situations.

Have a rental application form

that’s appropriate for your province. It

will cover all the bases. Discuss how

they feel about overnight visitors,

smoking, pets, sharing household

chores, etc. Asking why they left their

last place and how long they lived

there is important.

The application form will have

a spot for references. Ask for

references from their current

employer, a previous landlord and at

least one previous roommate. Tell

them that you will call these people

to verify employment status and

their previous housing history. By

providing contact information for

these references, the prospective

roommate is giving you permission to

contact them. Check your province’s

privacy and human rights laws for

what you are allowed to ask and what

isn’t okay.

When calling an employer, state

that you are verifying the potential

roommate’s employment status and

character, not doing an employment

check for another job. When calling

a previous landlord, fi nd out how

long the person lived there, whether

they paid their rent on time or if there

were any other pertinent issues, and

why they left. If this information

doesn’t match what the person told

you, you may need to clarify.

Previous roommates can be

revealing. Ask how long they have

known the person and how long they

lived together. Then ask “What did

you like about living with __?” and

“What didn’t you like about living with

__?” Ask why they are no longer living

together.

If someone cannot provide

any references or if none of their

references are forthcoming, beware.

You will be living with this person

in close quarters, sharing a space

and relying on them to fulfi l their

responsibilities. You need to have a

reasonable comfort level with them

– they will have access to all of your

personal posessions and be privy to

much of your private life. Your health,

safety and peace of mind are at stake.

Be selective. Communicate clearly

and you will fi nd the right match.

Advice | Cleaning Advice

IF YOU’RE GOING TO TACKLE spring

cleaning this month, the experts at

Molly Maid can help get you started

with these top 12 spring cleaning

tips. With just a bit of care, attention

and elbow grease, your home can

shed the winter grime and sparkle for

sunny days ahead.

1. Spring cleaning tip #1: Simplify your cleaning products

Limit spring cleaning products to a

quality window/glass cleaner, all-

purpose cleaner, tile/grout cleaner

and a toilet bowl cleaner.

2. Spring cleaning tip #2: The Molly Maid system

Clean each room from the top

to the bottom starting on the left

and moving right. This really is the

quickest and most e cient way to

thoroughly spring clean your home.

3. Spring cleaning tip #3: Dust fi rst, vacuum second

Any bits of dust or dirt that fall to the

fl oor as you’re dusting will be picked

up by the vacuum cleaner.

4. Spring cleaning tip #4: Dust with a damp, clean microfi ber cloth

Hold the cloth by a corner and lightly

mist with clean water from a spray

bottle. The cloth should be just damp

enough to pick up dust without

leaving moisture streaks on the

furniture surface.

Molly Maid’s top 10 spring cleaning tips

By Kim Dunn


5. Spring cleaning tip #5: Pet hair

Remove it from upholstery with a

damp microfi bre cloth or rubber

glove.

6. Spring cleaning tip #6: Damp mop

First sweep or vacuum fl oors to

collect crumbs and dirt. Then start

washing the fl oor in the farthest

corner of the room and work your

way towards the door. Use a damp

cloth on the end of a mop handle

to reach the narrow space between

appliances.

7. Spring cleaning tip #7: Microwave spatters

Fill a cup with water and microwave

on high for a few minutes. The steam

will loosen any baked on food so you

can easily wipe it clean. Before wiping

the microwave, remember to be extra

careful when removing the cup of

water as it will be hot.

8. Spring cleaning tip #8: Dish cloths and sponges

These are germ incubators, if you

don’t clean them you’re just spreading

the bacteria around. Wash dish cloths

regularly, and microwave damp

sponges on high for several minutes

to kill bacteria. Even better, toss

the sponge and stick to microfi bre

cloths, which dry quickly when hung

up and help prevent the spread of

germs.

9. Spring cleaning tip #9: The toothbrush

Use a toothbrush for hard-to-reach

areas in the bathroom and kitchen

(for example, around the soap

holder, taps and drain).

10. Spring cleaning tip #10: Streaks on the balcony door

Streaks are tricky to eliminate. When

spring cleaning, wipe the interior

side of the glass horizontally and

the exterior side vertically. This way,

it will be easy to determine if the

streaks are on the inside or outside.

Kim Dunn has been a Molly Maid franchise owner for over 15 years. More than just cleaning, she has a solid knowledge of “The Chemistry of Cleaning,” having graduated in Industrial Microbiology and worked in the fi eld for seven years doing research and clinical work at U of T and Toronto Western Hospital. A long-time Aurora resident, her business services the Aurora, Oakridges, King and Nobleton area. Contact Kim at [email protected] or call 905.841.6243 for more information.
