Landlord walkthrough and the moving truck

The walkthrough is not our job. The truck is. Moving out of a rental is the lease-end clock. This page is what happens when the landlord wants the unit empty and inspected the same morning we are still on the stair. We will not idle the crew for a punch list. We will not argue a deposit. Two ZIP codes: Get my price.

From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Hours we stand in the hall waiting for a clipboard are hours — what changes the price. Closing day with a title company is a different page. We will not write “licensed and insured.” We are not your tenant lawyer.

Finish the load before they walk

• Book the truck early enough that the unit is empty when they arrive — how long a local move takes
• Mark what is yours — roommate leftovers are not a surprise — what you are not taking
• Trash is a cleanout if that is the real job — when a cleanout is the job
• Thin before we tape — how to thin out
• Confirm the window the week before — what movers need the week before

If they want to walk while we are still carrying, say so. We can work a room they have already seen. We will not pause a third-floor sofa for a light-switch lecture. Morning-of: moving-day morning. Kids and pets off the path — kids and pets.

What we will not do on the walkthrough

We will not patch, steam, or rehang blinds. We will not wait unpaid while they photograph the oven. We will not write a certificate for their file. If the building wants a COI for the dock, that is the building conversation — HOA, elevator reservations. Parking the truck during their inspection still needs a legal sit — parking.

A first apartment does not change the rule — first apartment. Labour only on your U-Haul is still your sit while they walk — labour-only. Keys late at the new place is storage or a later start, local only — storage. After you request a price: after you request a price.
