Moving out of apartment

There are significantly important points and preparations to consider when you’re moving out of an apartment. These preparation steps will play a crucial role in the success of your residential relocation. It is understandable that not many residents, especially those who are relocating for the first time, may know all the necessary steps they will take as part of their preparations for moving out of an apartment. New Era Moving staff are ready to guide you through the entire process of moving out of your apartment.

Preparation Steps:

Elevator Booking

Booking the elevator for your move out of the apartment is probably one of the most important steps and requirements. We all know that large apartment buildings and skyscrapers have tens, if not hundreds, of units. Imagine if more than one resident decides to move out on the same day. Now, envision a scenario where many buildings have only one elevator for both movers and residents to use. Even in apartment buildings with two elevators, they may not have a designated elevator for moving purposes. All of these scenarios present a significantly challenging situation for residents who are moving without having an elevator reserved for their move.

I f your destination, where you are moving to, is also an apartment building, booking the elevator at the destination is equally important. Arriving with your belongings in an unfamiliar and new environment, and with a fully loaded moving truck, without knowing how you will carry everything up to your floor, can be a huge challenge and cause serious frustration. If applicable, always make sure to book your elevators at both origin and destination to avoid delays and interruptions to the proper flow of your moving out of apartment.

Parking Reservation

There’s a good chance that both the apartment buildings you’re moving out of and the one you’re moving into have designated parking spaces for large trucks. These spots are intended to facilitate moving in and out for residents and to accommodate service trucks and other larger vehicles that provide services to the building.

In order to avoid delays and interruptions in your move due to lack of elevator availability, you need to book the elevators for both origin of your moving address, and the destination building. Locally moving out of an apartment building, and moving into another apartment building in the same city usually takes place in one day.  It is important to plan ahead and book the elevators as required.  Booking the elevators for moving out of apartment building can be done by a simple phone call or a quick visit to the building managers office.

Oversized Items

Oversized items could act as obstacles to the progress of your move and they could bring the whole process to a complete halt. It is crucial that the oversized items such as jacuzzi, large sectional couch, Pianos and such, to be considered in the planning strategy of the move. When moving out of apartment building with oversized items on your list, you should consider the access size and capacity to the building and to the unit you are moving into in that apartment building.

Sometimes the oversized items can be taken a part for easy handling, or they can be hoisted through the window of the unit in the building, but in any case, the plan must be in place before initiating the move.  To avoid any delays and interruptions for moving out of apartment building, and moving into another apartment building, all the preparations and planning must be completed before starting the move.
