Key takeaways
- Ask your building about elevator reservations, loading docks and paperwork.
- Reserve a time window long enough for the whole move and not just the first load.
- Protect elevators, hallways and doorways with pads and floor runners.
- Clean up and walk through with the manager to protect your deposit.
Apartment buildings have rules because many people share the same elevator and hallway.
Ask early
Ask the manager about reserved elevator times, loading docks, parking for the truck and any paperwork, such as a certificate for the building.
Reserve enough time
Book a window that covers the whole move, not just the first trip. Moves always take a little longer than planned.
Protect the building
Pads in the elevator, runners on the floors and guards on door frames keep walls looking new and managers happy.
Finish clean
Sweep the unit, remove all trash and walk through with the manager before you hand over the keys.
