Moving Tips

Whether you've just finished your spring semester, you graduated, or are leaving for other reasons, it’s time for the inevitable: moving out of your college apartment. Avoid some move-out day stress by following these tips: 

Giving Notice

Many landlords require 60 days' notice prior to moving out, which can be done by submitting a Notice to End Tenancy Form to your landlord, which you can find here or by calling Community Legal Education Ontario at 1‑888‑332‑3234.

Movers

You can find recommendations on the five best moving companies in Toronto from MovingWaldo, a free moving concierge service. 

Get a Storage Unit

Try to get a storage unit ahead of time if you’re not immediately moving into a new apartment. This is one of those things that will ease your mind during the move-out, and you'll have somewhere to put your belongings, or just a few extra items you don't have room for, for the time being. Find storage space near you and compare pricing by FindStorageFast.com.

Need Help?

If you have any concerns or are unsure about your rights as a tenant, browse through the Landlord & Tenant Board's resources for helpful information on tenant's rights. If your landlord wants you to move out or you have questions about evictions, visit the Community Legal Education Ontario website.
