Excited to move to New York but don’t know where to start? Moving can be overwhelming but you can have a smooth experience with a step-by-step plan. So, here is a detailed checklist for moving to New York.

Preparation

There is a lot to do to prepare for the move and it’s best to start well in advance to stay stress-free. Here are the most important things to tick off:

• Research and pick a new neighborhood that has the amenities you need. These can include proximity to your new job, a renowned school, grocery stores, a reputed hospital, a park and restaurants, easy access to commute options, budget-friendly apartments, and more.
• Book a suitable apartment.
• Decide the times and dates for leaving your current location and moving into your new place. Once the dates are confirmed with your moving service provider, you will have to apply for leave for the duration between those dates.
• Provide your landlord with a minimum notification time.
• Obtain any required parking permits.
• Meet Certificate of Insurance needs for NYC moves.
• Organize your possessions into “keep”, “donate” and “trash” piles, keeping in mind the space in your new apartment.
