Rental Tips: Credit checks

Now that you've gotten the apartment it's time to move in. Keep in mind any restrictions or procedures for moving in that the landlord laid down during the signup process.

There are many moving companies available in the San Francisco area, and all of them have different rates and options. Check you local phone listing for more information.

Once you complete the move it's time to establish your accounts with the utility companies. Most communities units already have placeholder accounts set up with the utility companies, so contact your landlord to see which companis they deal with. Normally phone internet and cable services are left to the discretion of the renter.

Also, you will want to submit a Change of Address form to the post office so that any mail that is mistakenly delivered to your old address can be sent to your new one automatically. Change of address forms are available at any post office and many office supply stores. You will also want to notify your employer, school, bank, and/or physician of the address change, and also any establishment at which you hold any sort of membership. If you remember to change over your contact information as soon as you move there will be far less confusion later.
