Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first thing you should bring to your new apartment?
The first items to bring are cleaning supplies. You may need to clean surfaces or handle immediate messes before unloading your belongings. Also, bring toilet paper, soap, and paper towels as you’ll likely need to use the bathroom shortly after arriving.
When should you start packing to move?
Start packing at least six weeks before your moving date. Begin with less frequently used items and gradually pack everyday essentials. This staggered approach alleviates the stress of last-minute packing. Keep a solid supply of packing materials like boxes and bubble wrap, especially for fragile items, to ensure they are well-protected.
By preparing in advance and using this checklist, your moving day can be more organized and less stressful, allowing you to focus on settling into your new apartment.
