Moving Checklist

Simplifying your move-in & move-out process.

Moving Can Be a Stressful Time

These helpful moving checklists provide a solid foundation for a successful transition — whether you're arriving or departing. Use them as a guide and don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

Move-In Checklist

We're excited to welcome you to your new home! Use this checklist for a smooth introduction to your JDN rental experience.

1. Last Month's Rent Deposit

As per your lease agreement, we require the last month's rent deposit at the time of signing. This deposit is held in escrow and applied to your final month's rent when your tenancy concludes.

2. Move-In Date & Condition Report

Once your lease is signed, we'll coordinate your official move-in date. Within the first 7 days, you'll complete a digital Move-In Condition Report — documenting all rooms, fixtures, and existing wear with photos and timestamps. This protects both you and the property owner by creating a clear record on file.

3. Book Your Moving Truck & Elevator

Book your moving truck well in advance of your confirmed move-in date. If you're moving into a building with an elevator, contact the condo management office to reserve it ahead of time.

4. Set Up Your Utilities

Your lease outlines which utilities you are responsible for. Contact providers at least 5 business days before your move-in date to avoid delays. We're happy to help guide you through this process.

5. Update Your Mailing Address

Update your address with all relevant institutions — banking, government, subscriptions. Consider signing up for Mail Forwarding through Canada Post to redirect mail to your new address.

Move-Out Checklist

We're sorry to see you go! As you prepare to move out and start your next adventure, use this checklist for a smooth departure.

1. Notice of Intent to Vacate

After your fixed-term lease expires, provide a minimum of 60 days' written notice before the end of your billing cycle. You can give notice through your Tenant Portal using the N9 form on your dashboard, or by submitting the form below.

2. Book Your Moving Truck & Elevator

Book your moving truck well ahead of your confirmed move-out date. If your building has an elevator, contact the condo management office in advance to reserve it.

3. Return the Property to Good Condition

Return the rental unit to a similar condition as when you moved in. Key areas:

  • CLEANING: Kitchen, bathrooms, shower/tub silicone, inside toilet bowls, all appliances. Empty all cupboards and closets. Remove all garbage.
  • OUTDOOR AREAS: Complete all seasonal maintenance in your lease (lawn care, snow removal). Dispose of garbage per municipal by-laws.
  • REPAIRS: Patch holes, replace bulbs, repaint if necessary. Contact us for guidance on significant damage.

4. Update Your Mailing Address

Update all institutions and consider Canada Post Mail Forwarding to your new address.
