Move In Check List

 

Please refer to the resource page of this website for important utility contact information

 

Things to bring/ remember when you move in (a few basic things to remember):

 

• Furniture- Some houses include furniture some are supplied unfurnished

• Cleaning supplies, vacuum cleaner

• New toilet seats- Every toilet has a seat, but sometimes people want to bring in new ones.

• Blinds/curtains for windows- We don't supply them because everyone has different tastes

• Garbage and recycling cans- We don't provide them, plan on bringing your own (where applicable)

• Call ahead to set up utilities

  • Electric/gas- Set up account with Central Hudson

  • Oil- Find an oil delivery company and establish an account, then have them fill your tank so you will have heat and hot water unless the house has natural gas. Then supplied by electric company

  • Cable and Internet- Plan ahead so you can get up and running ASAP

  • Garbage Collection- Garbage and water supply is taken care of by me then calculated at end of year

 

Things to remember when moving out:

 

• Make sure you return your keys. There will be a charge to replace them if they are not returned

• Make sure the house is just as clean when you leave as it was when you moved in. There will be a charge if any cleaning or garbage removal is required to bring the property back to the condition it was in when you received it

• Leave forwarding instructions for where you want your security deposit refund (if applicable) to be sent

• Remember to cancel your utilities- call the companies and let them know when your last day of living in the house is so they can transfer the billing information to the next group of tenants
