Navigating the Gap Between Moves

Is your lease up but your new office space isn’t available yet? There is a solution if you have a gap between move-out and move-in. Temporary storage between moves is the answer. Here’s how to navigate that process.

How to Prepare for a Move with a Gap

Preparing for a move with a gap between move-out and move-in is like prepping for a same-day. Get organized, create a plan, and then pack your belongings or have the pros at your moving company pack them. The only thing that requires different consideration is the items you’ll need between the old location and the new one. Think about how much time you’ll have before moving into your new office, and keep that in mind when you pack what you’ll need for your staff to continue with daily operations. A move-in/move-out checklist can help keep you organized with what you’ll need and when.

Take Advantage of Temporary Storage

Whether you have one day or one month between your move-out date and your move-in date, you need a solution for storing furniture between moves, and safely storing electronics, documents, and files. The process should never include leaving them in a rental truck in a parking lot. However, the last thing you have time to manage is renting a storage unit for the gap in your move. Instead, hire a moving company that offers temporary storage between moves. Short-term storage provided by your moving company will ensure safe, secure, climate-controlled storage for your items.
