Tips for moving into a furnished home or apartment

August 22, 2012 - For many tenants, finding a home that comes furnished is like uncovering buried treasure, but this may be problematic for those who have a significant amount of their own furniture. By enlisting the help of movers and finding a nearby storage company, moving boxes into a furnished apartment doesn't have to be such a challenge.

It's important for soon-to-be tenants to have a list of what items are included with their rental, and determine which items of their own furniture will need to be put into storage and which can be used. Those moving should be sure to have measurements of both the new space and their furniture before leaving items out of storage. Not doing so could result in having to take multiple trips to the storage unit.

When comparing storage facilities, those relocating should ensure the space is large enough for their belongings. Choosing a storage unit that has regulated air conditioning can also help preserve important or expensive items.

When packing moving boxes to be put in storage, using quality supplies can result in safer storage. Packing tape, boxes and bubble wrap can all be purchased from a local moving company, who will also have a large variety of other moving necessities.
