Moving Instructions

We know moving day can be a little crazy. From our experience, we have found most moves go along without a hitch, as long as the tenant and building manager remain in contact throughout the move. Here are some helpful tips and information.

One month prior to move

• Make reservations with your moving company or rental truck company
• One of our Value Added Partners, Quality Move Management offers a 10% discount to our tenants
• Purchase moving boxes or start collecting boxes from various outlets – you will be surprised at how many of the outlets will be completely out of boxes at month end
• Frog Box is a great green alternative to cardboard boxes and if you’re a ZipCar member (Porte Value Added Partner), you can get 10% off Frog Box
• Start packing small items such as dishes and ornaments now
• Advise the telephone company, cable company, hydro etc. to disconnect service
• Give your forwarding address to the post office and landlord
• Let the building manager know if you are having problems coordinating your move
• Arrangements may be made with the building manager to have your suite cleaned at a nominal cost if you feel you simply will not have the time to clean your suite as required

Some things you should know

• You MUST vacate your unit by 1:00 pm – this is stipulated in your tenancy agreement
• Several people may be moving on the same day as you so please coordinate your time with the building manager
• Some buildings require you to book the elevator – talk to your building manager about it
• It is your responsibility to ensure your unit is left clean when you vacate
