Move-in checklist
A free list for a Central Florida move-in. Realtors can print it or send the PDF. No email required.
Before move-in day
- Confirm the closing time or the lease start, and the hour you receive keys.
- Ask the building which hours a move is allowed, which door to use, and whether the elevator must be reserved.
- Ask where a truck may park, and for how long.
- Book the move inside that window. Crew hours are Sun–Fri · 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM; Sat · 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
- Start or transfer electric, water, and internet for the day you get keys.
- File a mail-forwarding change with USPS.
- Measure the tightest doorway and the stair turn if a sofa or a mattress is coming.
- Pack an open-first box: medication, chargers, toiletries, a change of clothes, basic tools, snacks, and paperwork.
- Label boxes with the destination room.
- Empty the refrigerator if it is moving, and defrost it the day before.
- Set aside jewelry, documents, and anything you will carry yourself.
- Photograph the empty home you are leaving, including walls and floors.
On move-in day
- Walk the new home before unloading and note marks that are already there.
- Confirm the elevator hold, the door, and the parking spot.
- Clear a path from that door to each room.
- Tell the crew which room gets the bed, the sofa, and the table.
- Keep children and pets in one closed room, or with someone away from the carry.
- Lay down floor protection if the building asked for it.
- Walk the old home last: closets, garage, attic, patio, and outdoor storage.
After the truck leaves
- Find the breaker panel, the water shutoff, and the smoke detectors.
- Change the locks when you own the home, or ask the landlord before you change them.
- Confirm trash, parking, and mailbox rules with the building office.
- Unpack the open-first box before you start the rest.
