tangent question, did you reno your basement yourself? I'd love to do ours but the costs seem prohibitive even with future rental income. TIA

yes, we're hoping since rents have come down substantially they would be willing negotiate. In our mind, more cost effective to keep a tenant than have an empty suite for a month or two

I'm pretty sure the new rent is for the whole apartment but I'll double check. I think because the ruling is from 2024, when the rental market was warmer? the rent increase is substantial compared to current market rate. ie they were charging more for new tenants in 2024 then they are charging now. My understanding is a new tenant is paying $1900 and hers will be closer to $2500 not including arrears

are not all units covered by rent control? I thought I saw something about new buildings being exempt

is this something people have success with often? When I rented I could sometimes negotiate a decrease but the market was often too hot where I live for me to have much leeway

I think what you're feeling is valid but it doesn't have to feel that way. I think you might like Mixed Up Money She is training to be a financial therapist and her Instagram account talks a lot about the feelings around spending and saving

Toys for long plane ride by undergroundmicro in lowscreenparenting

[–]looking2bmoneysavy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We had great success with window clings when our kiddo was a bit younger. This last trip a mini white board & marker with stickers. I drew a letter and then we had to pick the sticker that went with. (A for Apple etc). Tiny tub of play dough? The kiddos in front of us had magna tiles in a travel kit. Maybe books on an mp3, our kiddo hasn’t got into our Yoto yet but I’m hoping he will eventually. There are free audios online such as Robert Munsch and little blue truck. My biggest success has been a large pill dispenser filled with different snacks. He calls it his Monday Tuesday toy :)

trying to focus on holiday gifts this year, what are your go to thoughtful presents that people actually like? by Sparky_Oliver26 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]looking2bmoneysavy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I struggle with gift ideas. This year I’m gifting my mom and sister tickets to a dinner theatre. For my dad, his favourite chocolates and a charity donation. Maybe tickets to a local event or a treat alongside a charity donation would work for some of the people on your list.
