Top Tips to Consider Before Moving Apartments

Regardless of the how big or small your apartment moving needs are, or whether you’re moving to Malibu or from Studio City there’s plenty of work involved in getting your belongings from point A to point B. It can be an overwhelming, stressful process but is made easier with preparation and a moving company Westwood.  We’ve gathered some helpful tips to get you set in the right direction.

Ask Questions and Get Packing

One of the very first things you’ll want to do when preparing for a move is to ask the right questions. If you’re moving to a new apartment, get in touch with your landlord and ask all of the questions you feel will make your move easier. This can include things like: where the best location to park a moving truck would be, what amenities are available to you at your new place, the best way to pay your rent. Knowing what your new place offers can allow you to prepare for any out of pocket expenses. For example, you may learn that the only parking available is off street or in a garage which means having some change available to pay the meter on move in day.

On of our biggest and most important suggestions is to get packing sooner than later! If you spend a few weekends boxing and bagging up smaller items you will be glad you did it when the big day comes. This is especially true for those of us who have spent multiple years in a previous residence. If you are the type of person to collect knick knacks you may end up with a lot of random or unused items that have been hiding in closets and cabinets long forgotten. It’s nothing to worry about, a lot of us forget that we own things especially when they are out of sight. So, starting to pack earlier will give you a better idea of what kind of inventory of goods you have and need to organize.
