It’s no wonder why many apartment leases expire and begin in June. Many people choose this time of year to move because it coincides with the end of school or upcoming summer plans. Plus, apartment renters who move in June stand to benefit from more hours of daylight and a greater chance of pleasant weather.
If you’re one of the many renters who will begin a lease in a new apartment this month, you no doubt want your move to go as smoothly as possible. Too often, however, unexpected issues arise that add stress or lead to major problems on moving day.
Here are two ways you can anticipate common moving day issues to enjoy a smooth move:
1. Don’t be too quick to accept moving help. Keep in mind that people who help you with your move gain easy access to your personal belongings, including your valuables and important documents. So, only accept someone’s help if you’re confident that you can trust the person. Read more about why this simple tip is so important.
2. Ask logistical questions to avoid unpleasant surprises. One of the most important ways you can prepare for your move is by getting answers to questions about your new building. If you don’t have all the information you need, you may have to reschedule your move at the last minute or face some other inconvenience that will only add to your stress. For example, do you know where your moving truck can park? Are you required to use a certain entrance or elevator for moving? Here are more key logistical questions you should ask your landlord, manager, or super to help keep the stress out of moving day.

Monday that a report that says the state’s peionsn crisis will get worse in the next several years further demonstrates the need to reduce public workers’ benefits.Christie also said in a Statehouse news conference that Wall Street ratings agencies were looking at the combined $100 million unfunded liabilities the state faces for both its peionsns and health-care benefits for retirees. He expressed concern the state’s credit rating could be downgraded, which would raise interest rates on bonds when the state goes to borrow money. This could wind up costing the state not just in the long-term, but in the short-term, Christie said. I will tell you that the Legislature’s refusal to act since September, if it has ramifications for our fiscal ratings, they own it. A state-hired actuary, Janet Cranna, told boards that oversee funds for various employee groups last week that the state needed to begin making contributions to its peionsn funds after largely skipping the payments for a decade.The funds are collectively valued at $70.8 billion.Cranna said the peionsn shortfall would most certainly get worse because the state is slated to make a $500 million payment in the budget that begins July 1, when the peionsn fund actually needs a $3.5 billion installment this coming year to stay even with the obligations that will be owed over the next 30 years.
