On Moving Day
  • Confirm that new utilities are in your name, and that old utilities have been taken out of your name.
  • If you are in a Property Service Agency home, finish cleaning with the General Property Cleaning Checklist.
  • Double check closets, drawers, shelves, attic and garage to be sure they are empty.
  • Complete a checkout appointment with your property manager. Turn in any keys, garage door openers, and other items which belong to your landlord. If you are in a Property Service Agency home, also be sure to turn in a new address form so that your security deposit can be forwarded to you.
  • Carry travelers checks for quick, available funds.
  • Carry important documents, currency and jewelry yourself, or use registered mail.
After Arriving At Your New Property Service Agency Home
  • Complete a move-in inspection form and return it to your property manager.
  • Renew your driver's license, auto registration and tags.
  • Shop around for new insurance policies, especially auto coverage and renter's insurance. Visit our insurance partner, Clem Insurance Services, for a renter's and auto quote.
  • Double check closets, drawers, shelves, attic and garage to be sure they are empty.
  • Revise your will and other legal papers to avoid longer probate and higher legal fees.
  • Locate the hospitals, police stations, veterinarian and fire stations near your home.
