Preparing for Move-In

Published November 26, 2024

Utilities and Services 

Make sure all essential utilities and services are ready for your move-in date: 

Utilities: 

Contact utility providers to set up electricity, gas, water, and waste services at your new address. 

Internet and Cable: 

Arrange for internet and cable services to be installed or transferred to your new home. 

Home Security: 

If applicable, set up home security systems and services. 

Moving Plan 

Organizing your move effectively can help reduce stress and ensure everything goes smoothly: 

Hire Movers or Rent a Truck: 

Decide whether you’ll hire professional movers or rent a truck for a DIY move. Book these services well in advance to secure your preferred date. 

Start Packing Early: 

Begin packing non-essential items as soon as possible. Label boxes clearly with their contents and destination rooms to make unpacking easier. 

Moving Supplies: 

Gather all necessary moving supplies, such as boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and markers.

Updates 

Ensure that all relevant parties are informed of your new address to avoid any disruptions: 

Notify Banks and Financial Institutions: 

Update your address with banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions. 

Inform Employers and Schools: 

Let your employer and any schools your children attend know about your new address. 

Government Agencies: 

Notify government agencies, such as the post office, DMV, and tax authorities, of your change of address. 

Subscription Services: 

Update your address for subscription services like magazines, meal kits, and online shopping accounts.
