Quebec mores
In Quebec, it has been customary for many years for the majority of leases to end on July 1. Although July 1st coincides with Canada Day, landlords have traditionally chosen this date to allow children to finish their school year without changing schools.
This year, on the occasion of July 1st, our real estate brokers and administrative team wanted to share their best tips and tricks for a successful move!
Things to remember
Change your property address:
Canada Post
RAMQ, SAAQ, your insurance company
Your financial institution
Service providers (Hydro Québec, Internet…)
Check elevator fee regulations:
If you live in a divided or undivided condominium, chances are you’ll need to reserve the elevator to facilitate your move. However, some condominiums charge a fee for this reservation. So it’s essential to find out in advance about the regulations in force in your building, to avoid any surprises on the big day.
Tips and tricks from our team
Veronica advises you to bring sufficient transport boxes to ensure that your valuables all have a designated place and can safely withstand the move! The trick is to use color coding to distinguish between items and their respective places in your new home.
Clara recommends one or more meditation sessions before the big day! Yes, moving has been proven to be one of the biggest sources of stress, so it can be very beneficial to take the time to rest and meditate in the days and hours before the movers arrive!
Frédéric advises you to reward the people who help make your moving day a successful and memorable one! Beers and pizzas are now a tradition for anyone who volunteers to help their loved ones on this big day! If you’re familiar with our team, you’ll know that Panzeria is our favorite address for succulent focaccia pizza and exquisite Italian dishes!
Finally, our team of real estate brokers recommends that you start by furnishing the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. By prioritizing these essential rooms, you’ll quickly find your bearings and a certain comfort in your new home.
Happy moving to everyone!
