Move-in, without the scramble.

Confirm your lease is fully executed and any move-in funds have cleared.

Set up the Tenant Portal login before keys — you’ll use it for rent and requests.

Transfer or start utilities in your name unless the lease says otherwise.

Schedule elevator or loading access with the office if the building requires it.

Walk the unit with the condition report. Photograph anything that isn’t perfect.

Test smoke and CO detectors, run water, and note anything that needs a ticket.

Register vehicles for parking if your lease includes a space.

Meet the building: trash rooms, mail, gym hours, quiet hours.
