Moving to a New Apartment: Where to Start?

  • four weeks until the move – plan an inventory, list things, and decide what you will take, select a transport company, and agree on a date and time;
  • three weeks before moving – connect all telecommunications services at the new location, prepare all the documents, and start collecting the necessary things;
  • two weeks before moving – check details with the transport company and order additional services, you can already cancel all services for your old apartment;
  • a week before moving – disassemble and prepare furniture for transportation, you will need to pack a bag with essentials.

On the day of the move, check the truck's arrival time, defrost the refrigerator, and pack household and kitchen appliances. Check if all documents and keys are in place — everything should be at hand. Make sure your phone has enough charge.
