Moving Checklist & Tips

We understand that moving out can be a busy and stressful time. To make the process smoother for you and ensure a seamless transition, we’ve prepared this move-out checklist and tips guide.

Get It Ready

  • Reserve a moving truck
  • Schedule time off work/school
  • Measure new place for furniture and window coverings (doorways, walls, stairs, elevators)

Get It Started

  • Local Landline Phone Service: AT&T 800-310-2355
  • Long Distance Provider (research the best provider for your needs)
  • Gas and Electric Service: SDGE 800-411-7343
  • City of San Diego Water/Sewer Department (619) 515-3500
  • Cable (service provider depends on your location):
  • Time Warner 858-695-3220 or
  • Cox Communications 619-262-1122
  • Don’t forget to stop your old utility services, too!

Get It Packed

  • Get *clean* boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, scissors, rope, furniture pads. Don’t get used boxes from food stores! They can have roach eggs embedded in them, which will transfer to your personal belongings.
  • Pack a separate box with valuables, medicines, birth certificate and passport.
  • Pack early anything you won’t need to use before your move.
  • Save space and money: your towels and linens make great packing material for your breakables.
  • Leave clothing in drawers.
  • Take apart beds and tables, put the hardware in a ziploc bag and tape it to them.
  • Wrap paintings and mirrors in blankets.

Get It Moved

  • Pick up truck
  • Load truck with heavy items first
  • Put all boxes in appropriate room in new home
  • Do final clean of old place after last load is unloaded
  • Check all cabinets/closets for remaining items
  • Get Settled In
