It takes a team of skilled and experienced apartment and condo movers to handle any bumps in the road you may encounter on your moving day. You can hope for the best but should prepare for the worst. It can be tricky to maneuver things alone. Luckily, we can assist. Being prepared is one way that we ensure a speedy move.

Moving into or out of a condo can be tricky, and many moving companies take advantage of that by raising prices or adding time onto the move. This is not so with Rent-a-Son. Our team is full of nice people and pro movers who strive to find ways to save you time and money, regardless of the move you’re facing. We pride ourselves on being the honest mover you can count on, which means there are no hidden fees. What you see is what you get, and we are upfront with everything.
We have a deep understanding of the restrictions and regulations of rental properties, allowing us to carefully navigate your individual move with dedicated safety and ultimate precision. After years of experience, we have mastered the art of moving, and with our apartment moving services, we implement a process that is both fast and careful. This includes wrapping items that need to be wrapped to ensure we can move them at a pace that does not waste time.
We think ahead to avoid problems so that nothing slows us down or gets in our way. We work together as a team and make accommodations for all your belongings. That means pad-wrapped doors and walls, as well as adding protection to elevators to eliminate the worry of property damage. We do everything in our power to help you get your security deposit back because you deserve it.
When you hire Rent-a-Son to fulfill your apartment or condo move, you’ll have access to one of the quickest and most efficient teams of movers in Toronto. Our professional movers can get the job done in a fraction of the time it would take you to handle it alone. While you focus on other important tasks, like packing and cleaning, we’ll get the moving started for an easy transition.
If you want help with packing and prepping, though, we can help with that as well. We offer condo packing and furniture assembly/disassembly services; this way, you do not have to worry about a thing! We even have storage services for those bigger items that you still want but cannot take with you.
As a full-service moving company, if there is anything that needs to be done on the day of the move, we can assist. And by offering same-day moving services, it is never too late to book the movers that care.
Proper planning for a move begins with a clear, no-hassle estimate. We aim to give our clients the most accurate estimates upfront, so there are no surprises come the end of the move.
We help our clients map out the best moving plan to allow for a stress-free moving day. This starts with an apartment moving checklist that we provide to all our customers. It is our way of giving you something right off the bat that will help begin the moving process. Use our checklist and your move should be flawless.
When you’re moving out of or into a condo or apartment, there are regulations and restrictions that must be kept in mind. Many apartment buildings restrict the hours during which moving can take place to minimize noise and foot traffic disturbance. There may also be parking ordinances that limit where or how long you can park streetside next to your building.
Because of this, we tackle these issues way ahead of time to mitigate any unforeseen disruptions. Reduce the time and hassle it takes to move into these locations with Rent-a-Son!
There’s more preparation involved with an apartment move than a residential one. As one of Toronto’s leading apartment movers, we know how to handle all the complications that we may encounter. We understand all the ins and outs of these kinds of moves and can help with the preparation to guarantee a streamlined experience.
When you call Rent-a-Son about an apartment or condo move, we’ll inquire about all the important details of your move so we can best prepare for what’s to come. This includes questions about your current apartment size, the size of your new location, the building layout, and amenities to consider. We’ll also examine the items and furniture that you want to move.
From there, we’ll create a written estimate based on your needs, and advise you of any additional preparation that might be needed. We stay competitive with the cost of local movers in Toronto and try to give the best deal possible by informing you on how you can save!

In order to provide you with a detailed and accurate estimate for our services, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your needs prior to your moving day. We will work together to collect inventory of the items you need moved using either an online form or a virtual survey of your home. While we do require you to complete these simple steps ahead of your moving day, it will ensure that we have a realistic and uncomplicated plan that you are happy with. As well, these steps will guarantee we have everything set up in the best possible way to avoid any surprises on moving day — both for you and your crew.

See our ReviewsReady for your easiest move yet? Get a leg up on your apartment or condo move with this checklist:
● Reduce what you’ll move - Before any boxes get loaded, take time to go through your belongings and get rid of unnecessary items that you no longer want. Donate what’s in good condition, offer them to a friend, or simply dispose of your unwanted items. This reduces your load and saves you time come moving day.
● Give your landlord proper notice - Many properties and landlords ask for 30 days’ notice before moving out, so double-check to see what your building’s regulations are.
● Perform a thorough cleaning - If you want your full safety deposit back, give your apartment or condo a thorough cleaning. If deep cleaning isn’t your style, hire a cleaning service for the day.
● Document your rental’s condition - Take pictures of any damages or special circumstances in your rental so that you are never blamed or charged for something that wasn’t your fault.
● Ensure that all bills are taken care of - Be sure that all of your bills related to your old place are paid in full. Also, be careful to shut them off as soon as you land at your new location so you’re not paying double for utilities.
● Consider storage - Are you relying on a storage unit to hold some of your items? Do those items need to move with you? Be sure that all your items will have a safe home come moving day.

Get an EstimateIf you are moving from one apartment to another, you need to do the same things you would do in any other move. One thing that will change is you may have to talk to the superintendents of the buildings if you need to book an elevator for personal use.
There are many things to be done when moving, such as:
● Changing your address.
● Calling service providers.
● Telling friends and family.
● Booking a moving company.
Once you have done this, you need to figure out how you are going to move: if you are going to pack the items yourself or get a moving company to do it, what time/day you are going to move, etc.
You can either try and move yourself, or you can book professional movers with experience to do the job for you.
This depends on how big the move is. If you have a lot to move, you should start packing up a month before (that’s if you decide to pack yourself). Other things, such as calling service providers and changing the address on your license need to be done beforehand, too.
This is the minimum period before your move when you should start planning. Start packing, labeling boxes, and making the calls you need to make. This is also a good time to book a moving company. You do not want to wait any longer than this to start planning your move.
The best way to move apartments efficiently is to call a professional moving company and let them handle it. You can call Rent-a-Son, and we can let you know the first steps you should take, or you can start with messaging us for an estimate.
Simply put, it will take as long as it takes. You cannot move at a pace that is too fast and miss something. Booking a moving company is the fastest option because they are experienced and know what they are doing.
It depends on how much stuff you have. A good estimate is that it will take 2-3 days if you do it yourself. If you book a packing service, it can be done in a few hours.
Yes, depending on how many people you have helping you pack. It may only take a couple of hours if you have enough people helping you.
You shouldn’t pack:
● Chemicals, including cleaning solvents and ammonia
● Garden and garage chemicals
● Light bulbs
● Propane cylinders
● Perishable food
Before packing, you should clean your apartment of any unnecessary trash and items you no longer want/need to make the packing process go faster.
