Not to forget
If you have gotten to the stage of packing, it means that you already have given notice to your owner of your departure, according to the delays proscribed by the Rental Board. If you haven’t done so yet, do not wait! This measure will spare you many worries.
You have found your new housing! The reservation for a vehicle or a moving company has been made! The date of the departure has been set! Inform your former owner about it, he will surely appreciate it.
It is important to declare all your changes of address as soon as you know your new address and the moving date. Certain cable, telephone, and hydro companies, etc… ask to do it a few weeks before the date of the departure. One must also think about the different levels of government, driver’s licence, medical insurance, hospitals…
If you must rent a vehicle or a moving company, be sure to have procured plastic covers for your mattresses, in order to protect them from possible small undesirable ones left behind by another user. Certain moving companies provide these covers for free. If, on the other hand, you do it yourself, you will find them at the same place as for the boxes and other packaging materials.
