So, you\u2019ve finally moved into your apartment, unpacked all the boxes, and taken your first deep breath. Thankfully, the hard part is over. Hopefully, you\u2019re enjoying your new place and getting accustomed to all the adjustments you\u2019ve made. Now, in order to make the next few weeks easy and productive, we\u2019ve provided you with a checklist of things you need to take care of.<\/p>\n

Moving Checklist for Your New Apartment<\/h2>\n

Switch Mailing Addresses<\/h3>\n

Have you switched over your mailing address from your old place to your new apartment? It\u2019s important to do this as soon as possible. Thankfully, it\u2019s simple and straightforward. You can now handle the entire process online, which is a lifesaver. No waiting in line or forgetting important documents at home. You simply log on<\/a>, provide the necessary information, and pay the $1.10 fee to change your address. You\u2019ll get an email confirmation and the change of address will be effective immediately. This is also a good time to remember to transfer your magazine subscriptions to your new address. Ideally, you should do this prior to the move, as it can sometimes take a number of weeks for subscriptions to successfully forward to a new address, but go ahead and do it now if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n

Meet the Neighbors<\/h3>\n

Meeting the neighbors can be uncomfortable and strange, but get it out of the way. If you wait too long \u2013 say longer than a couple of weeks \u2013 it can really get awkward. Hopefully your neighbors come over and meet you, but you can\u2019t count on that these days. Just knock on the door, introduce yourself, and tell them you\u2019re new to the neighborhood. Who knows, maybe your new best friend is living next door.<\/p>\n

Organize All New Documents<\/h3>\n

Now for an extremely practical tip. During a move \u2013 especially if it\u2019s one across state lines \u2013 you acquire a lot of documents and forms. Now is a good opportunity to get organized and consolidate this information. Buy a filing cabinet or dedicated bin and put all important documents inside. This includes warranties, lease agreements, insurance information, etc. Having these documents at your fingertips will make it a lot easier to find the information you\u2019re looking for in the future.<\/p>\n

Collect and Send Receipts<\/h3>\n

Was your move work-related? Is your employer planning on reimbursing you? It\u2019s important to gather all your receipts and make copies of moving documents so that your employer can cut you a check as soon as possible. If you wait too long, you risk losing receipts or forgetting things.<\/p>\n

Get New Documentation<\/h3>\n

If you moved across state lines, you have to jump through a lot more hoops after moving in. You\u2019ll need a new license plate, car tags, driver\u2019s license, insurance, and more. Thankfully, the DMV has a handy resource<\/a> that tells you exactly what you need when moving to a new state. This includes things like voter registration, vehicle inspections, and tax information.<\/p>\n

Locate Important Places<\/h3>\n

One of the more challenging aspects of moving is that you have to get used to the new area in which you live. Even if you\u2019re just moving to a new neighborhood in the same city, you\u2019ll quickly find that you\u2019re unfamiliar with your surroundings. Take an afternoon and find all the important places in your area. This includes things like hospitals, schools, supermarkets, gas stations, and pet parks<\/a>. This little activity can save you precious time when you\u2019re in a hurry and looking for a specific place.<\/p>\n

Find a New Doctor<\/h3>\n

Are you no longer living in close proximity to your primary care doctor? You want to live as close as possible to your doctor, so it may be time to find a new one<\/a>. Start by determining which doctors are in your medical plan\u2019s network. Next, ask some friends, family members, or coworkers for referrals. You\u2019ll feel much more comfortable if you know someone who trusts the doctor. Finally, set up a consultation and feel free to ask any questions.<\/p>\n

Gradually Buy New Furnishings<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve significantly up-sized or sold a lot of your things to make the move easier, it can be overwhelming to think about all of the household items and furnishings you need to fill your new apartment. Instead of buying everything at once, break up your purchases and spread them out over a span of a few weeks. You\u2019ll feel much better this way, and it\u2019ll give you an opportunity to make sure you\u2019re only buying things that you truly need.<\/p>\n

Consider Security<\/h3>\n

How safe and secure does the apartment feel? It\u2019s always smart to think about security, especially if you have small children. Take a look around the apartment unit and complex and see if there are any security features. If you feel uncomfortable with the current state of things, it may be wise to invest in a security system.<\/p>\n

Adjust Your Budget<\/h3>\n

Do you have a financial budget? Now is a great time to reassess your financial situation and adjust things according to your new expenses. If you\u2019ve moved to a different state, this may be an ideal time to switch banks or financial advisers.<\/p>\n

Just Relax<\/h3>\n

Finally, now\u2019s a good time to simply relax. The move-in process can take a lot out of you and there\u2019s no better time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your new apartment. While all of these things are important, it\u2019s best to wait until you\u2019re ready to proceed. If you rush through some of these steps, you\u2019ll end up with some big problems on your hands. It\u2019s okay to let things slow down a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
