Advantages of Using Elevators

Elevator is a tool or equipment which enables easy access and mobility to different levels or floors of a multi storied building. It can also be defined as a machine, usually used in multi leveled buildings, which is capable of moving vertically up and down to carry people and goods from one floor to the other with the help of a rotating motor (which rotates both way) and a shaft or with the help of a high magnetic force. Nowadays the elevators have become very common in the world and people have really started to make a habit of not using the stairs-evolution! But there are valid reasons too.

There are just too many advantages of using an elevator. The elevators are very convenient in making easy access to different floors of a building. Especially the people who are physically disabled find it very easy for them to move from one floor to the other which otherwise would have been impossible. It is also used for carrying heavy materials and goods up and sown the building very easily. Similarly a pregnant woman or an elderly person who is facing difficulties to climb up the stairs would probably take the elevator as a messiah in their lives with the help of whom they are being able to move about the building and without whom it would not have been possible. For the building makers or the building constructors it may act as a strategy to make more profit as it increases the floor area of the building and thus they can charge more while selling it and have quite a bit of extra profit. With increase in the rate or price of land the constructors use another strategy of installing elevators, as adding floor upward would be very cost effective rather than constructing it outward. So they tend to make more profits.

\"room Design\"

Other than these the elevators also come in different and uncommon shapes, designs and looks rather than the one usually used with the grilled doors, like with glass doors, both way open doors, sliding doors, doors with abstract designs, in-tube, etc and shapes like capsule shaped, cylindrical, cubical, pyramid shaped, etc which add up to the interiors and the décor of the house. Hence it also increases the resale value of the house. Even installing a normal elevator increases the resale value of the house since it helps a lot by diverting people or the households towards a comfortable detour. Elevators also have a very special weapon or advantage of having good security facilities like 'stop button' which allows the lift to stop at any point or level in case of any emergency, emergency lights which works when there is a power failure with the help of a rechargeable battery. Manual lowering adapters are also there which help the elevators to get lowered slowly and manually from the inside in case the lift, as it may also be known as, faces a sudden breakdown. There are many more advantages of an elevator may be which are yet to be found.

The Advantages of Renting an Apartment vs. Owning a Home

Compared to owning a home, living in an apartment rental is incredibly easy. Why do the work yourself when you can enjoy the following benefits:

· Dedicated property and maintenance staff to call if anything goes wrong

How To Decorate And Live Well

· No back-breaking snow shoveling, lawn maintenance or pool/sauna care

· One single monthly rent cheque usually pays for everything (instead of several separate bills and fees when you own a house or a condo)

You Get More for Your Money

Believe it or not, you can usually rent an apartment or house for much less than the cost of buying it - especially if you live in a larger city. And if you want to be right downtown, renting is almost always more affordable than owning a condo (and you get a lot more living space, as well, as downtown apartments are usually much larger than downtown condos).

As well, apartment renters don't have to come up with the thousands of dollars in down payments, closing costs and fees for things such as building inspections, legal counsel, land transfer taxes and insurance.

And this doesn't even factor in the cost of borrowing - in the first five years of ownership, most mortgage payments are applied only to the interest, not the capital. This is money that you won't get back when you sell your home (and you'll still have all the hassles and extra costs of putting your house on the market).

That Tax Break is Not Guaranteed

Getting a big tax break is supposed to be one of the greatest advantages of owning a home - but you can't always rely on getting this break. If your annual mortgage interest payment, plus any other deductions you are entitled to, isn't greater than your standard tax deductions, you will not receive any tax benefit from owning a house.

If you rent an apartment, however, you'll always receive some form of tax relief, as a large portion of your rent is tax deductible every year.

Maximum Flexibility

Renting provides an enormous amount of flexibility. You can pack up and leave immediately at the end of your lease (which can be monthly or yearly, whatever best suits your lifestyle) - there's no waiting to sell and no agonizing about the housing market before you move. For many people, the freedom to live where you want and when you want is a huge benefit that simply cannot be overlooked.

Minimum Risk

For homeowners, the stakes are enormously high should their finances crumble. When they can't pay the mortgage, the lender has great leverage - the house and all the equity invested in it could be in jeopardy. That's not to say there aren't consequences if a tenant can't pay the rent - but the financial devastation that comes with losing your home is far greater than being evicted from your apartment.

In addition, there are several social service programs that are run by all levels of government to help people in need pay their rent so they won't be evicted. Are the banks as lenient or supportive when it comes time to pay the mortgage?

Ultimately, making the decision to either rent an apartment or buy a home involves much more than simply comparing rental rates, mortgage payments, lease lengths and tax breaks. It's a combination of all of the personal circumstances happening in your life - both now and several years down the road.
