4 Weeks Before Moving
- Create a moving folder: Store receipts, contracts, and important documents.
- Declutter: Donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. Moving is the perfect excuse to lighten the load.
- Book your mover: Secure a trusted provider early.
- Notify your landlord (if renting): Kenyan tenancy laws often require a month’s notice.
2 Weeks Before Moving
- Start packing non-essentials: Label boxes clearly by room.
- Change of address: Update your delivery address with banks, employers, and mobile money services like M-Pesa.
- Utilities & internet: Schedule disconnections and reconnections with KPLC, water suppliers, and internet providers.
- Inform your employer: Especially if you work remotely—plan around any downtime.
1 Week Before Moving
- Pack a first-night bag: Include toiletries, chargers, a change of clothes, and bedding.
- Defrost your fridge: Clean appliances to avoid odors or leaks.
- Confirm with your mover: Reconfirm the moving date, time, and destination. At Reloc8movers, we send a reminder and checklist to all clients.
- Gather keys: Collect all spares and label them accordingly.
Moving Day
- Supervise the move: Ensure fragile items are handled with care.
- Final sweep: Do a walkthrough to ensure nothing’s left behind.
- Take meter readings: For water and electricity—especially if moving out of rental housing.
- Stay hydrated and calm: Nairobi’s heat and traffic can cause delays—prepare snacks and water.
