So you’ve been approved for your new affordable low-income housing unit—congrats! Whether it’s your first time moving into a managed property or you’re just relocating, the time before move-in can feel like a whirlwind. But don’t worry—TPI Management Services LLC has your back.
Moving into an affordable housing unit doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right preparation, your transition can be smooth, simple, and even a little exciting. Here’s your go-to checklist for what to expect and how to get ready.
1. Review Your Lease and Community Rules
Before you pick up your keys, make sure you’ve thoroughly read your lease agreement. Know the basics:
- Rent due date
- Maintenance procedures
- Pet policies (if any)
- Parking rules
Pro Tip: If anything’s unclear, reach out to your property manager. It’s better to ask now than be surprised later!
2. Prep for Move-In Day
Once your lease is signed, it’s time to prepare:
- Schedule your move-in date with the leasing office.
- Set up essential utilities like electricity, gas, and internet (if not included).
- Double-check what appliances are included—and what you’ll need to bring.
Bonus Tip: Pack a “first night” box with snacks, chargers, cleaning wipes, and your favorite pillow.
3. Inspect the Unit
When you arrive, take a walk-through before unpacking:
- Note any damages or issues.
- Test faucets, lights, appliances, and locks.
- Fill out a move-in inspection form if provided.
This protects you from being blamed for pre-existing issues later on.
4. Update Your Info
Let people know where you’re headed! Be sure to:
- File a change of address with USPS.
- Update your info with banks, schools, and employers.
- Set up renter’s insurance (sometimes required!).
5. Meet the Neighbors and Property Management Team
Get to know your community! Introduce yourself to neighbors and learn where the mailroom, trash bins, and laundry area are located.
Living in affordable housing means being part of a shared space—community matters!
