If the number one rule in real estate
is “location, location, location” then
making sure your next place is in the
right “neighbourhood, neighbourhood,
neighbourhood” is where we come in.
At YPNextHome.ca we have taken
“neighbourhood” to the next level.
Knowing that fi nding a home more
than just about location, it’s about the
micro details of the neighbourhood,
we’ve collected data from across the
country, right down to details of who
lives there.
We invite you to explore the over
2700+ neighbourhoods we have
on our new website to fi nd out not
only who lives there, but what their
favourite activities and hobbies are too.
Essentially, your neighbourhood is
an extension of your home. Get the
facts before you decide.
This issue features Downtown Galt,
a neighbourhood that we’ve explored
and defi ned ourselves. It’s a small
sample of what’s available online.
Check it out and let us know what you
think!
We’d love to hear from you.
I grew up going to concerts and
music festivals. I love listening to
music. Loud.
I probably wasn’t the ideal
neighbour in years past – but I
think I made the right move living in
communities where there were like-
minded neighbours. In fact, in one
place I regularly popped next door for
impromptu dance breaks.
I guess if you’re enjoying it, and it
works for you and your neighbours,
then it’s fi ne – but this isn’t the
norm. Residents are guaranteed a
reasonable level of enjoyment of their
home, and nobody’s need to listen to
loud music supersedes that.
If you’re losing enjoyment of your
home because of noise, talk to the
neighbours and/or the landlord.
This issue we’ve got some great
neighbourly advice, plus more on
ypnexthome.ca. Visit our website,
search our YPNextHome App and get
ready to make your move.

GALT IS THE LARGEST OFthe three
smaller towns that amalgamated
to form the City of Cambridge in
1973. Downtown Galt begins at the
towering, Galt Collegiate Institute.
The neighbourhood comprises
both banks of the Grand River and
stretches south to Ainslie/Concession
and up the hill to Dundas in the east.
It’s a slower pace here, owing partly
to the older population. But it’s still
a lively downtown. While it retains
an urban feel, this is still relatively
small-town Ontario. It’s a family
friendly community on the cusp of
gentrifi cation.
Old meets new in this diverse
Neighbourhood Profi le
A living history
Downtown Galt
community. The surroundings are
beautiful, with a living history feel,
which is why so many movies and
TV series are fi lmed here. The Grand
River dominates the core, appropriate
considering the river and its many
mills are what drew so many to what
was once the largest town around.
The converted mills are now beautiful
loft condos or shopping complexes.
While most of the population falls
into the Boomer category, young
professionals in their 20s and 30s are
moving into lofts and condos. They’re
attracted to the area for its reasonable
cost of living, nightlife options and
cultural scene.
Downtown Galt is very easy on the
budget, great for those who want
to save money and still enjoy the
perks of living right downtown. It’s
highly walkable community with lots
of amenities. Commuters reach can
reach Brantford in a matter of minutes
via Highway 24. North via Hespeler,
it’s 10 minutes to the 401. Kitchener-
Waterloo and Guelph are within
easy reach, and there are GO and
Greyhound buses in addition to Grand
River Transit for public transportation.
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.

Advice | APARTMENTALITY
Smoke-Free RentalsWho has legal rights?
MORE INFO ONLINEypnexthome.ca/smoke-rent
SECOND HAND SMOKE can be a
problem for those living in multi-unit
dwellings. It can waft from one unit
to another through ducts, doorways
and balconies. Most provinces and
territories have smoke-free laws
that ban smoking at work and public
places, but there is no law banning
smoking in private residences.
A landlord has the legal right to
include a no-smoking clause in your
rental agreement. The landlord can
ban smoking in the whole building,
individual units, common areas
and even balconies. Smoking is not
considered a legal human right in any
province. Apartments in your building
could legally be smoke-free rentals.
If a smoke-free clause has
not been included in your rental
agreement, but other tenants are
complaining of second-hand smoke,
a landlord is still legally permitted
to do whatever is necessary to deal
with the issue reasonably. Most
provincial tenancy laws state that
a tenant is entitled to “quiet or
peaceful enjoyment” of their home
and/or it should be “fi t for human
habitation.” They recognize that
tenants have the legal right to live
free from unreasonable disturbances.
An o� cial tribunal could determine
that second-hand smoke entering
another residence to be an
unreasonable disturbance.
Second hand smoke could violate
“peaceful enjoyment” of one’s home
and, in many cases, that is enough
to legally do something about it.
Landlords can ask the smokers to
stop, repair or renovate the building
to minimize the transfer of second-
hand smoke.
Smoke-Free Housing Canada
gives comprehensive advice for
both landlords and tenants on the
issue. They also give tips on what to
do if you fi nd smoke entering your
home. They recommend you check
if smoking is already prohibited in the
common areas within your building,
and make a request to your landlord
to seal cracks that may be allowing
smoke to come in.
It’s always a smart idea to check
your rights as tenants concerning
smoking on the property when
renting and knowing which buildings
have smoke-free rentals.

Advice | MOVING
Unpack your common sense
WHEN IT COMES to moving, a little
common sense goes a long way
in getting your belongings to your
destination in good shape, on time.
Considering the importance of
our possessions, these items deserve
proper care. Thinking ahead is the
best thing you can do when it comes
to making arrangements, packing, etc.
Organization should be your mantra,
e� ciency your goal.
If you’re doing your own packing,
look ahead to lifting, stacking and
unpacking the boxes. People often
run to the grocery or liquor store
to pick up cartons, and then use
newspaper as cushioning. Although
this approach can save you a few
dollars, in the long run, you may pay
for it in stress, time and broken items.
Instead, think about purchasing
cartons and packing paper from the
professional mover you’ve chosen.
The boxes come in uniform small,
medium and large sizes, which are
easy to stack in a moving truck or van.
Trust me, this convenience is huge
on moving day. Unlike newspaper,
packing paper does not leave behind
ink that then has to be cleaned
during unpacking - which is already a
hectic enough time.
During the packing itself, be
generous with whatever you are
using to cushion your things,
especially fragile items. People
often cram too much in each box
in an attempt to keep the number
of cartons down. As good as that
sounds, it can backfi re, as too many
items with not enough cushioning
may shift during transportation and
damage each other.
In addition, someone has to lift
each box and place it into the moving
vehicle. Packing too many heavy
items into one container can result
in no one being able to pick it up, or
worse yet, the box breaking from the
weight. Common sense will tell you
that heavier items should be packed
in smaller boxes, and vice versa.
Did I mention labeling?
Again, a little common sense goes
a long way to success at the other
end. When you pack the moving
vehicle, remember to place the
boxes you’ll need fi rst, last — and
label accordingly with the contents
and which room it goes into. Even
better, if you are driving to your
next residence, place things such
as garbage bags, tissues, dish liquid,
etc. into the car. You should also
carry valuables such as jewelry, your
laptop, important papers and the
like separately from the bulk of your
items.
Another way to apply common
sense to packing is to look at each
item with the thought, do I really
need and/or use this? Especially if
you are moving from a larger space
into a smaller one, paring down
possessions is important. The fewer
things you move, the less your move
will cost in terms of time and money.
And speaking of money, if your
budget allows, hire movers to do your
packing and transporting. We do this
every day, and we have it all down
to an e� cient system. Professional
movers want our moves to go
smoothly as much as our clients do.
Everyone is born with common
sense, but few use it. If you are
planning a move, I encourage you to
be one of those savvy few!

Advice | RENTERS’ HELP
The benefi ts to being A LIFETIME RENTER
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
TO BUY OR TO RENT? It’s a big
question, especially since a home
will likely be the largest purchase
anyone will make in their lifetime.
While conventional wisdom says
buy if you can, especially with the
current low interest rates, because
you build equity, conventional
wisdom isn’t always the best option.
It sounds great in theory, however,
that theory assumes that you will
buy at the best time and sell at
the best time, thus maximizing
your profi ts. Nor does it factor in
the costs of infl ation, renovations,
maintenance and upkeep, property
taxes and so on.
Often, being a lifetime renter is
the preferred option. Here are some
scenarios where those who could
a� ord to buy still opt to rent, and
why.
1. YOUNG PROFESSIONALS MORE
INTERESTED IN TRAVEL THAN
YARD WORK. Couples without
children who travel a lot often prefer
to ditch the gardening obligations,
bills and headaches associated
with owning a home. Footloose
and fancy free, they would rather
put their money into an investment
portfolio – yeilding the same or
better returns in the long run. Let
the landlord deal with utilities and
upkeep. They’re o� on adventures!
2. ENTREPRENEURS RUNNING A
BUSINESS. They frequently work
long hours and struggle to fi nd time
for family and friends, never mind
house repairs or tenants. Any extra
funds they have are being put into
building the business, therefore
owning a home is not a priority or
the fi nancial obligation that benefi ts
them the most.
3. PEOPLE IN CAREERS THAT ARE
PLANNING TO TRANSITION IN THE
NEXT 3 TO 5 YEARS. If they own
a home they may be stuck selling
during a down market but have little
choice in the matter since it their
time to move on. Being a renter
makes it easier to pick up and leave
when necessary. And, practically
speaking, their time and energy are
focused on their careers.
4. FAMILIES WITH SMALL
CHILDREN OR CARING FOR
ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBERS. They
may simply not have the time that
home-ownership requires. They are
choosing the priority of family, and
that is certainly a full-time job, in
and of itself. Giving a rent check and
then forgetting about it for a month
is infi nitely easier to manage than
the responsibility of a mortgage,
upkeep and additonal bills and
expenses.
If you see yourself in any of these
scenarios, you will likely enjoy being
a lifetime renter.

Advice | RENTAL RANTINGS
The midnight moveThe stupidest move:
By Jennifer Braun
PICTURE THIS: You and your lover rent a truck
and move out of your apartment in the middle
of the night. O� into the sunset you go – no
worries about broken leases, no cleaning fees,
no goodbyes – just each other and your stu� .
Sound romantic? Well, it isn’t! Bailing on your
lease agreement and leaving your landlord high
and dry – especially when you owe them rent –
is actually the stupidest move you could make.
Consider these seven cautionary tales before
you do a midnight move:
YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH IT: Let’s just
start with the fact that you’re not going to get
away with bailing on your lease. Be realistic.
Just because you have left the premises,
doesn’t mean your landlord won’t fi nd you.
That is, unless, you plan on never using a
traceable electronic device again – cell phone,
Gmail, Facebook.
I didn’t think so.
IT’S GOING TO COST YOU: You’re on the run
and you think you just left your landlord high
and dry, but the truth is you’re still liable. You’re
responsible for the remainder of your lease,
for any damage to the apartment, cleaning
fees, any outstanding payments and additional
payment for the notice you didn’t give. It’s
going to cost you – and it’s going to cost you
more than necessary. Your landlord is getting
the last laugh, all the way to the bank.
YOU WILL RUIN YOUR CREDIT RATING: So
much rides on your credit rating: your ability to
rent an apartment, lease a car and even obtain
a credit card. Now, wave all of those things
good-bye, because you’re not going to get
them after a midnight move! Bills that are past
due, like the rent you decided not to pay, will
come back to haunt you. If things go all the
way to court (yes, your landlord will sue you), it
will be refl ected on your credit score as well.
NEED A REFERENCE?: I’m assuming you need
a new place to stay after you completely bailed
on your last apartment. Did you forget that a
new landlord can ask you to provide references
and documents that show you are responsible
and would not do something as stupid as a
midnight move? I guess you did. Don’t worry
about getting your hands on a new reference
though. One look at your credit report and any
landlord will probably show you the door.
DON’T FORGET TO…: When you’re in the
middle of a midnight move your mind is
wandering, and well, you forget things. You
can’t exactly just go back to your recently
vacated rental however, and pick up whatever
you left behind. Also, don’t forget to ask your
landlord for your security deposit back. Oh
wait…
BYE BYE NEIGHBOURS: I know it’s hard to
believe, but some people actually like their
neighbours. Or maybe you convinced your
brother-in-law to move into the building you
have decided to casually fl ee. Well, so much for
dinner parties at uncle Dom’s. Once you leave,
there’s not going back.
WHAT’S THE POINT?: You’re not the fi rst –
and certainly not the last – person who has
ever had to break a lease, or who has fallen
behind in rent. What’s the point of jumping ship
and pulling a midnight move? Just speak with
your landlord and see if you can both work out
an arrangement that will save you time and
money. Often the best solution is to fi nd a new
renter to take over your lease. Sure it requires
some leg work, but it will defi nitely be worth it.
Moral of the story: Always remain faithful to
your lease agreement and don’t try anything
stupid. The villain doesn’t win this battle.

will be in the next Rental Ranting!
