Moving Day tips

• 

  Know your building rules – Landlords may have specific time restrictions or curfews for tenants moving in and out. Make sure you know the rules for both your old and new building. 
  

• 

  Clearly label your boxes – Labelling all the things you’re moving will make packing and unpacking easier, especially for essentials like toiletries and important documents.
  

• 

  Move everything you can yourself – It may be really difficult to find movers on Moving Day so try to move smaller and more delicate items yourself.
  

• 

  Check your tenant insurance – Make sure your tenant insurance covers your new home in case anything goes wrong.
  

• 

  Check and recheck your old place – Because moving day can be stressful, check every cupboard and closet to ensure you’re not forgetting anything.
  

• 

  Recycle what you don’t need – If you have electronics, tires, construction materials, or stuff like old paint, take it to an eco-centre so it doesn’t end up in a landfill.
