Move-In Checklist – Important Information
To ensure a smooth and stress-free arrival, we provide all tenants with a Move-In Checklist.
The checklist outlines the essential steps to complete before signing the lease, before move-in, on the day of arrival, and before move-out. It is designed to help tenants understand their responsibilities, prepare all required documents, and avoid common misunderstandings.
​
Following the checklist helps ensure:
-
a smooth check-in process,
-
proper insurance and guarantees are in place,
-
clear documentation of the apartment’s condition,
-
a seamless experience throughout the stay.
