Check out our 7 tips to prepare for your big step.
Arranging professional porters
We recommend hiring professional porters. Professional porters can ensure that your porters are doing well for a few days, for several reasons. First of all, they have enough supplies. They have boxes, wardrobe boxes, tape, moving carts, trucks, ramps on trucks, and the right crew. With the right equipment, people and expertise, mobility will become easier and faster.
When you use a professional porter, it will not only damage your belongings, but also damage your rental property. When transporters carry large furniture, be careful not to scratch the walls. You are not responsible for damage as it may be deducted from your deposit.
Professional moving companies also have insurance, so if there is any problem with your property or rental property, the moving company will be responsible for paying you or the landlord. At this point, if you use a professional porter, your landlord will be very grateful.
Notify your new landlord
Once you have arranged your moving plan, tell your new landlord when you will arrive on the day of the move. When you contact your landlord, you should also ask some follow-up questions about moving:
If you are moving into a building with an elevator, ask if you need to arrange a time period for the service elevator.
Ask your landlord where you should park your mobile truck. Your landlord may assign you a parking area.
Get a parking permit
If your landlord does not have a designated parking location, you may need a parking permit to block street space. Daily passes are available in most cities and can be purchased online. You may need a few passes to allow enough space for the truck.
Double check your new key
It is important to take another step and check if your key is working properly. There is always a possibility that your landlord has accidentally given the key to you, and you must be sure that you can enter your house on the day of moving.
Get furniture slider
Furniture sliders help you easily move heavy furniture on carpet or hardwood floors. They make sure you don't scratch the floor, it's important, so you don't have any money from your margin. They can be used as sliding beds, tables, dressers and sofas on carpets. You can buy it for up to $10 at the hardware store.
Again, we recommend that you buy a command bar hook for the next apartment instead of a nail. Command hooks do not leave marks or holes in the wall, they are easy to fall off. Whenever you avoid damage to your rental property, you increase your chances of receiving a full deposit.
In addition to the furniture slider, if you hire a professional porter, you don't have to worry about other moving tools, such as a mobile cart. They will provide all the necessary tools.
Package
You should pack your items in advance so that you are ready. Depending on how many things you have, packaging may take time, so starting early is a good idea. We recommend packaging in a reasonable order. Start with items you don't use often, then move on to essentials.
Check your apartment or house before you leave
When you hire a professional porter, the porter's days are easy. Literally, your handling unions do all the heavy loads.
In conclusion
Preparation is the key to your smooth operation.
