Whether you\u2019re moving across the street, across town, or across the country, you\u2019ll have plenty of tasks to complete on your moving timeline before your move, on the day of your move, and after you\u2019re done moving. You can stay organized with Moving Help\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to put together all moving-related documents and checklists into a moving binder, so it\u2019s all in one place. If your new company is paying for you to move, you should hold onto any moving-related receipts. That way, you\u2019ll get reimbursed for all moving expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A budget will help you stay organized on what you need to purchase and help you avoid overspending during your move. You can create a list of all anticipated expenses \u2014 moving transportation type, packing supplies, and any other related expenses \u2014 and of course keep part of your budget open for unexpected expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your social security card, tax documents, passports, birth certificates, and medical documents all belong together. This way, you won\u2019t lose any crucial documents, and they\u2019ll be with you personally on moving day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you rent an apartment or house, you\u2019ll need to make sure you give enough notice<\/a> that you\u2019re not planning to renew your lease. Your lease will specify how much time you need to give notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you keep track of all remaining appointments \u2014 doctor, dental, pets, children, etc. \u2014 before you leave your current address. You\u2019ll want to make sure everyone has prescriptions filled and pet vaccinations up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can\u2019t move furniture if it doesn\u2019t fit into your new home, or you can\u2019t move it out of your home without disassembling first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to back up any electronic files. You\u2019ll feel better knowing anything digital is backed up properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need to figure out whether you want a DIY, hybrid, or a full-service move. A DIY move is the least expensive move, a full-service move is the most expensive move, and a hybrid move is split in between a DIY and full-service move costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Between U-Box\u00ae and Moving Help, you could have a hands-off moving experience<\/a> but not pay the full-service moving company cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Why waste your time having to call each moving company individually on your own? You can find many local moving labor providers on our Marketplace. We have Service Providers who have hundreds to thousands of reviews, and they can fit your exact budget and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should try to hire movers<\/a>, regardless of whether they\u2019re a full-service or moving labor company, about two months before your moving date, especially during the summer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you own a piano, gun safe, heavy or valuable items, make note of them. This way, you can let your Service Provider know when they ask you about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to deep clean your home if you\u2019re trying to sell it. It\u2019ll make your house more desirable on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children are naturally curious, so it\u2019ll be good to explain why you\u2019re moving to a new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to give yourself enough time to find and sign all the necessary documentation to secure your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to share living expenses with someone else, you should begin your search now. You\u2019ll find a better array of candidates who are looking to end their current lease and find a new lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should limit how many new belongings you purchase. The more items you have with you, the more you\u2019ll have to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exception would be large purchases, such as couches, beds, or large kitchen appliances. These items are boxed, secured, and ready to be moved. If you can, it\u2019ll be easier to ship them to your destination, so you don\u2019t have to travel with them, and they\u2019ll be there after you arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you haven\u2019t hired Moving Helpers yet, that\u2019s OK. It\u2019s only about one month out that you should hire providers at the latest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although most people would rather skip this step, it\u2019ll be helpful in the long run. If you do it, you\u2019ll never lose an item when moving from one home to another home. If you\u2019d rather watch paint dry than complete this step, keep an inventory of only your expensive, special, fragile, irreplaceable, or personal items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving is a great way to declutter your home. Go through your belongings to decide whether you can sell, donate, or throw away items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Now is the time to gather all the boxes you\u2019ll need for your move. Specialty boxes can help make your moving process simpler. The boxes below can be found at U-Haul along with many other box types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re looking for gently used moving boxes, check out the U-Haul program Take a Box, Leave a Box<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After collecting moving boxes, you\u2019ll need some packing supplies. Some U-Haul supplies you might consider getting are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the size of your home and how many belongings you own, you may or may not need more time to pack your items. We recommend to start packing six to eight weeks<\/a> before your moving date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unless you hired a full-service move to include packing<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to give yourself plenty of time. Not sure how to get started, check out some of our how to start packing tips<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you close your moving boxes, you should take pictures (or videos) of what\u2019s inside your moving boxes. Therefore, you have a record of what\u2019s inside of each box and the items\u2019 conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have your moving boxes and you\u2019ve started packing, you can start labeling your moving boxes. You should carefully label what\u2019s inside your moving boxes and not just give them generic room labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you live in a house, make sure to fix any small repairs. If you live in an apartment, call or place a maintenance request for anything that needs to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes your moving budget can\u2019t include paying someone for help. Most people don\u2019t like asking other people to help them to move, but we have some tips on how to ask someone to help you move<\/a>. Moving Help has affordable moving labor, so you might be surprised to find out how inexpensive labor-only Service Providers are for your move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to make sure you get the rental equipment you need for your move, especially if you\u2019re moving during a busy period. Get a head start on reserving your truck rental, U-Box containers, trailers, dollies, or furniture blankets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By now, you should pick a moving company, especially during the summer months when it\u2019s busy season for local movers. If you don\u2019t hire one, you might not get the moving company you preferred, or the day of the week, or the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people might want moving insurance, and some people might not want moving insurance. If you need it, Moving Help offers our Safeload\u00ae<\/a> coverage<\/a> to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re moving long distance<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to consider travel arrangements. Whether you\u2019re driving or flying, you might need to purchase plane tickets, hotel arrangements, or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you go on a long road trip, you should get your car tuned up. A good oil change can help make your lengthy trip safer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Most utility services will allow you to end their service within one month before your moving date. You\u2019ll want to make sure you don\u2019t end it the day before your moving day because otherwise, you won\u2019t have the utilities needed on moving day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to make sure you get all your prescriptions filled before you move. It’ll be best to get them filled for at least the next two to four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes you can\u2019t bring all your plants with you, or the state doesn\u2019t allow certain types of plants. Either way, you\u2019ll need to either keep them, give them away, or get rid of them. We have a few tips on how to move with plants<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your new home might require you to reserve a time slot to book the elevator for moving. Book it now so you can get an ideal time slot for your move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to figure out how to use the rest of your perishables and remaining meals at your old home before moving day. This will help avoid food waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unless you\u2019re moving on your day off from work, you\u2019ll need to request time off in advance. Depending on your company, you may need to complete this task earlier, later, or not at all if your moving day is after you\u2019ve left your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have small children or want your children out of the way, make sure you schedule a babysitter with someone or have them go to a friend\u2019s house on moving day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you own pets and you don\u2019t want them locked in a room where the movers won\u2019t go in and out of during move day, consider hiring a pet sitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All pets should be properly vaccinated and have all necessary documentation completed before moving. This will help save you any headaches down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t want to miss out on any critical mail because you forgot to change your address. You can even skip a post office visit and fill out your new address online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to give your new address to family and friends, so they can update your contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the type of subscription, you\u2019ll need to either update it with your new address or cancel the subscription.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Make sure you\u2019ve double-checked with your local movers, pet sitters, child care services, and any other plans about your moving date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should have packed mostly everything by now, but you can begin packing more of your essentials in your home and have it finished before moving day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unless you know where everything goes, it\u2019ll be smart to snap a quick photo of how you set up your electronics. This way when you\u2019re unpacking and putting together your gaming system with your TV, you\u2019ll know where everything belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need to let the DMV know about your address change. If you stay in the same state, it\u2019ll be easier to update your driver\u2019s license. If you move to a new state, you\u2019ll need to go in person to get a new driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Car insurance companies will need to know your new address. Sometimes living in a different area could result in a lower insurance rate for your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a safe deposit box at a bank, you\u2019ll want to get it emptied if you don\u2019t plan on using that bank when you move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you borrowed any items from friends, family, or neighbors, make sure you give it back to them. You don\u2019t want to be known as that person who doesn\u2019t return borrowed belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should complete one final deep clean of your home before leaving. Deep cleaning your home will increase your chances of receiving your entire security deposit from your landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t want to clean it yourself, you can always hire moving labor for cleaning from the Moving Help Marketplace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If necessary, schedule a final walk through for your old home. This will be essential if you live at an apartment because you can find out whether your landlord will keep any portion of your cleaning deposit<\/a> for cleaning. You also should schedule a walk through for your new apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a galactic abundance of spare time, throw a moving party with friends and family. It might be easier to meet at a restaurant or simply supply pizza and BYOD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You should start disassembling any large furniture items that you don\u2019t need before your moving date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend packing a suitcase whether you use it for books, movies, smaller but heavier items, or as your essentials bag for a short-distance or long-distance move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t use your suitcase as your essentials bag, you\u2019ll need to pack another suitcase or bag as your essentials bag for moving day. It should include clothes, chargers, toiletries, money, dog leashes and harnesses, dog food, dog bowls, and anything else you need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Collect all keys and garage door openers and give them to the appropriate person. If needed, ask someone to verify they received all items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you unload anything into your new home, try to take pictures and\/or video of your new home. Then, you can get it in writing about any damage. When trying to get your security deposit back, this will help you highlight what was damaged already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can make a stop at the bank, ATM, or grocery store to get cash. You\u2019ll most likely use cash to tip your movers. You might need cash as well in case of an emergency during a long-distance move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give your new home a nice scrub down before moving day. It\u2019ll be easier to clean everything before you start moving boxes into your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first room you should unpack in your home is the most used room. You can check out our unpacking guide<\/a> to help you unpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t wait to pull an all-nighter or try to finish packing a few hours before your movers arrive on moving day. You\u2019ll feel way better when you get done packing early vs. scrambling at the last second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving day has finally arrived and thanks to following the moving house checklist, you should be set up for a smooth move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DOWNLOAD MOVING HOUSE CHECKLIST<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to bed early and get a good night of sleep because you don\u2019t want to oversleep any alarms on moving day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To save time and possibly money, make sure you\u2019ve cleared a walkable path for your movers to go quickly in and out of your home whether loading or unloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s important to you, you should protect your floors and carpet from damage. You can lay down furniture blankets or cardboard boxes on the walking path for the movers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n You should be present while your movers are moving your belongings. While they won\u2019t need your help to move items, they might ask questions about your belongings, where boxes need to go, or other questions about your move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While not required, it\u2019s a nice suggestion to offer water to your movers. If it\u2019s an all-day move and you want to provide food, ask your movers ahead of time what they\u2019d like to eat and to be aware of any allergy restrictions. It\u2019s OK if they decline water or food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Either by yourself or with your movers, you should go through your home one last time to make sure nothing was left behind that you need your movers to load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can either tip Moving Help Service Providers with cash, or you can tip your local moving labor<\/a> online when leaving a review. Make sure you give the tip to each mover individually vs. just to the lead mover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unless your movers assembled your beds, you\u2019ll want to assemble everyone\u2019s beds, so everyone can get a good night\u2019s rest after a long day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to get the basic toiletries out of the way in the bathroom. That way, you can use the restroom without needing to find toilet paper or take a shower but only finding washcloth towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You probably moved with zero or few groceries to your new home, so now take the opportunity to go grocery shopping for all your perishable and non-perishable foods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to change the locks on your new home. That way, no one accidentally has a spare key to your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should make sure all utilities are working in your new home. Call whoever is needed if your utilities aren\u2019t working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you live in a HOA neighborhood, you\u2019ll want to go over all HOA policies, so you don\u2019t accidentally break one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start planning to invite friends, family, neighbors, or anyone else to your new home. Bonus points if you\u2019re done unpacking before your housewarming party date to truly display your exciting new living space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews are crucial for moving labor providers on our Marketplace, and they need to earn perfect reviews to stay at the top of their local area. Please take some time to submit a Moving Help review<\/a> \u2014 good or bad \u2014 so your helpers and other potential customers can read about your moving experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Send thank you notes to anyone who helped you greatly during your move. One thank you note can make someone\u2019s day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on how fast you want to unpack and how many items you own, you might be done unpacking after two weeks since your moving day. If you\u2019re not done yet, don\u2019t sweat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take the time to create spare keys for anyone who needs a spare key to your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember when you planned your housewarming party? Well, the huge night is here, and it\u2019s time for a fun get-together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n If you think you\u2019ll move in the near future, you might consider saving your moving binder, so you can easily reference it next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you haven\u2019t already introduced yourself or met your neighbors passing by down your street, now is the time to get to know who lives next to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look it up online or ask a next-door neighbor about the trash schedule. If your HOA has a policy about trash day, make sure you follow it carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can update your voter registration when you update your driver\u2019s license. If you moved to a new state or you haven\u2019t done that yet, make sure you take the time to be properly registered to vote at your new address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need to make sure your new home is babyproofed for your baby or toddler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Double check that all smoke alarms are functioning. If not, make sure you get them working properly soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check your state\u2019s rules on when you should receive your security deposit<\/a>, but it should be between 14 to 60 days depending on your state. It\u2019ll be a good checking point on seeing when you\u2019ll receive it 30 days after your lease has ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a good idea to hire pest control to make sure pests stay out of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your county or city might require you to register your pet so make sure to take care of all proper documentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re having problems with your lights, schedule an electrician to check them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve worked hard for quite some time already, and if you haven\u2019t done it yet, take a moment to sit back and relax for all that you\u2019ve accomplished so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the easiest step on our checklist. Celebrate however you want about your new home and move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve gotten to the end of this list and you still don\u2019t have moving labor, consider hiring Moving Help for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving Help will make sure your moving experience goes smoothly and less stressful. Additionally, we offer Safeload coverage<\/a>, which is our moving insurance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n It can be hard to pack up all your belongings and move onto a new chapter in your life, but Moving Help will be there for you to make sure your transition is easy, safe, and reliable when it comes to moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our checklist is extensive, so you won\u2019t forget anything when moving from your old home to your new home. Whether you\u2019re moving out for the first time<\/a> or are a moving pro, Moving Help<\/a> wants to make sure you have everything potentially covered for your move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2 to 4 Months Before You Move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
