Apartment Moving made
Simple
• The main objective when moving is to keep it as organized as you possibly can.
Making arrangements to move into a new home is not something that can or
should be done in one short weekend. There are a lot of things that need to be
done to ensure the move goes smoothly and the transition into the new home is an
easy one. You should start packing the stuff you plan to bring with you while you
are going through and getting rid of your unnecessary stuff mentioned above. Be
certain that boxes have labels of what the contents are and what room each boxes
belong in. This will make it so much easier once you get to your new place and you
start unpacking.
• One more very important thing to do---forward your mail to the new address and
transfer your utilities to the new address. Nothing worse than moving to a new
place and the lights and gas have not been transferred because during all the
excitement of packing and moving, no one remembered to transfer the utilities.
• Another thing to do, if you have children that are school aged, you will need to
transfer them to the school district for the new address; as well, explain to your
children that they can still keep in contact with their friends from the old
neighbourhood via mail, responsible social media contact and the telephone. If
they want to schedule time together with their friends from the old
neighbourhood, that can also be arranged as well; remember, this move can be
very traumatic emotionally to a child who is unfamiliar with or doesn’t deal well
with change.
