The Moving Checklist: What to Do Four Weeks Before

Moving is easier when the important details are handled before moving day. Use this guide to create a practical plan, stay organized, and know what to prepare next.

Start with a simple plan

Write down your key dates, addresses, building requirements, and the items that need special attention. Keep these details in one place so everyone involved can refer to the same plan.

Four weeks out

• Request your moving estimate and confirm the date

• Collect boxes, tape, markers, and protective wrap

• Start sorting rooms you use least

Two weeks out

• Schedule utility transfers and address changes

• Confirm parking and elevator access at both addresses

• Pack decorative and seasonal items

Confirm moving-day details

Check arrival time, parking, building access, elevator reservations, and contact information. Tell your moving coordinator about any changes as early as possible.
