Your Checklist for Moving into a New Apartment

Moving to a new apartment can be overwhelming, but with a comprehensive checklist, you can stay organized and ensure a smooth transition. Here’s an apartment moving checklist that covers all the essential tasks:

Two Months Before Moving:

• Determine your moving date.
• Notify your current landlord of your intent to move.
• Take measurements of your new apartment to plan furniture placement.
• Start decluttering and get rid of items you no longer need or want.
• Begin researching and booking a moving company or rental truck if needed.

Six Weeks Before Moving:

• Start gathering packing supplies such as boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and markers.
• Create a system for labeling boxes (by room or category) to make unpacking easier.
• Make a list of all the services you’ll need to transfer or cancel, such as utilities, internet, and cable.

Four Weeks Before Moving:

• Begin packing non-essential items that you won’t need until after the move.
• Start a file for important documents related to the move, such as lease agreements and moving contracts.
• Notify your change of address to the post office, as well as banks, credit card companies, and other relevant institutions.

Three Weeks Before Moving:

• Notify your insurance company and update your renter’s insurance policy for the new apartment.
• Create an inventory of valuable or fragile items and consider purchasing additional insurance if necessary.
• Confirm the moving arrangements with the chosen moving company or rental truck.

Two Weeks Before Moving:

• Start packing in earnest, focusing on one room at a time.
• Label boxes clearly with their contents and the room they belong to.
• Begin disassembling furniture that won’t be needed until after the move.

One Week Before Moving:

• Confirm the details of your move with the moving company or rental truck.
• Pack an essential box with items you’ll need immediately upon arrival, such as toiletries, bedding, and kitchen essentials.
• Clean your current apartment thoroughly and take any necessary photos as evidence of its condition.

Moving Day:

• Conduct a final walkthrough of your current apartment, checking for any missed items.
• Keep important documents, valuables, and essentials with you rather than packing them with the movers.
• Coordinate with the movers, guiding them on any specific instructions or concerns.
