What are some commonly overlooked
pre-move arrangements I should make?
Use this helpful checklist as a reminder
of the things you need to do before you move.
Book the movers: |
|
| It's a good idea to obtain estimates
from several different companies. |
| The estimate will depend on whether
the movers pack everything or just the breakables, or
whether you want to do the packing yourself. |
|
| If you own your present home: |
|
| Arrange to have your gas, water, and
electricity meters read on the day you leave. Have the
bills forwarded to your new address. |
| Have your oil tank read and filled
before your sale closes and, if required, give the receipt
to your legal professional. |
| Arrange for the water heater and furnace
rental agreements to be transferred to the purchaser.
|
| Disconnect your telephone, cable TV,
and water softener. |
|
| If you rent your present home: |
|
| Give your landlord written notice
and make arrangements for the return of any deposits.
|
|
| At your new home: |
|
| Arrange to have gas and electricity,
water softener, telephone, and cable TV connected on the
day the sale closes. |
|
|
| General: |
|
| Get change-of-address cards from the
post office and send them out well before moving day. |
| Have the post office forward your
mail to your new address. |
| Cancel contracted services and pre-authorized
cheques. |
| Inform gardening, dry cleaning, garbage
pick-up, newspapers, magazines, diaper, and other home
services of your move. Arrange for service at your new
address. |
| Get a letter of introduction from
your bank to help set up new accounts. Transfer trust
or bank accounts and securities. |
| Cancel or transfer social, athletic,
civic, religious, or business affiliations and memberships. |
| Ask your dentist, doctor, pharmacist,
and optometrist to transfer medical, dental, and prescription
records. |
| Change the address on your driver's
license effective the day of the move. |
| Collect all items out for cleaning
or repair, or in storage. |
| Make arrangements to move perishables,
such as plants. |
| Make arrangements to move your pets. |
| Dispose of all flammable liquids.
It is illegal for movers to carry them. |
