Need help with your move? Tell us your move-in date and we’ll build your personalized checklist.
Use this checklist 2–4 weeks before move-in so you’re not scrambling at the last minute. Our Move-In Checklist service turns these tasks into a simple, guided plan with reminders and templates tailored to your timeline.
Moving day is busy—and easy-to-miss details can cost you later. Our Move-In Checklist service gives you tap-by-tap tasks, reminders, and templates so you can focus on the heavy lifting while we keep track of the details.
Take photos and videos of every room before moving anything in, and note all existing damage on the inspection form. We provide a guided photo checklist and a landlord-ready inspection template so you’re protected from future damage claims.
Confirm that rent amount, due date, included utilities, and any promised repairs match what you agreed to. Our service highlights key clauses to double-check and gives you a simple lease review checklist so you don’t overlook important details.
Collect every key, fob, garage remote, mailbox key, and parking pass, and confirm how to buzz in guests. We include a handover checklist you can go through with your landlord so you leave with everything you need to access your home.
Introduce yourself, ask about building rules, quiet hours, and garbage or recycling routines. We give you a quick “first conversation” prompt list and a starter guide to building rules so it’s easy to settle into the community.
Once the boxes are inside, it’s time to make sure everything works and you know where the essentials are. Our Move-In Checklist keeps track of what you’ve done, what’s left, and when to follow up with your landlord if something isn’t right.
Moving in isn’t just about boxes and furniture—it’s also about understanding your legal protections. The Move-In Checklist service includes plain-language resources so you always know what your landlord can and can’t do, and what steps to take if there’s a problem.
Your landlord must give at least 24-hour written notice before entering your unit, except in emergencies. Our resources explain what a valid notice looks like, when you can say no, and how to respond if your privacy isn’t respected.
Your landlord must keep the property in good repair and meet health and safety standards—things like heat, hot water, locks, and structural issues. We show you what to look for during move-in, how to document problems, and how to request repairs in writing.
If your rights are violated, you can file with the Landlord and Tenant Board or your local housing authority. Our service outlines common issues, explains your options step-by-step, and links you to official forms and support organizations.
Every Move-In Checklist plan comes with bite-sized explainers, email templates, and links to official resources so you can stand up for yourself with confidence—without needing a law degree.
