Moving Checklist – Part 3

Moving houses? This 3 part series checklist will be your go-to-guide, from the two month starting point, to the big moving day, ensuring you don’t end losing your hair in the process!

*ONE WEEK TO MOVING DAY:
1.Finish Packing:
Now is the time to finalize packing, including clothes, accessories, everyday items, etc.… You need to begin placing these items in your suitcases with some time to spare, just in case something unexpected comes up.

2.Finalize Pending Issues with your Current Landlord:
If you have any issues or matters that are still not finalized with your landlord/building management, make sure you do that now. You do not want any loose strings when you have moved.

3. Defrost the Freezer:

If your fridge/freezer are coming with you, make sure you empty it out and defrost it. This needs to be done at least 24 hours before you leave the house.

MOVING DAY!
1. Ensure that everything is zipped up or tapped up!
This includes suitcases, boxes, etc.… Make a note of any items that require special attention or that is fragile. Please them to the side and ensure that your movers are aware of this information.

2. Ensure that you check off every item on your inventory list so that you do not forget anything.

3. Ask a family member, friend, neighbor for help; one of you should stay in the apartment, while the other should be outside by the moving truck, in order to secure your belongings and ensure that they are being handled correctly.

4. Don’t forget to give back your house keys and wave goodbye!

Expert tip: Stay calm and relaxed! The calmer you are, the smoother the process will go. Enjoy your new home!
