La administración de la comunidad recuerda a los vecinos del que las mudanzas deben comunicarse con al menos 48 horas de antelación para reservar el ascensor y evitar molestias. La solo puede estacionar el en la zona de carga y descarga y debe dejar libre la entrada del edificio. En el edificio de apartamentos no está permitido dejar muebles en el portal ni en los rellanos; cualquier objeto deberá subirse directamente al piso. Para reducir ruidos, se recomienda hacer el traslado de lunes a viernes por la mañana. El portero no puede guardar llaves ni abrir la vivienda si no está el propietario o el inquilino.
Además, si te vas a vivir a un nuevo domicilio, conviene en el banco, en el trabajo y en los servicios de suministros. En muchos casos, el dueño pedirá un justificante de que has y de que no hay recibos pendientes: el , el recibo del gas, el y, si procede, el recibo de la comunidad. Antes de firmar, es buena idea de día para comprobar si es un piso luminoso y si hay ruido en la calle. Si ya habías pagado una señal y finalmente no te quedas, revisa las condiciones por escrito.The building management reminds residents of the apartment block that moves must be notified at least 48 hours in advance to reserve the elevator and avoid disruptions. The moving company may only park the moving truck in the loading/unloading zone and must keep the building entrance clear. In the apartment building it is not permitted to leave furniture in the lobby or on the landings; any items must be carried directly up to the flat. To reduce noise, it is recommended to move Monday to Friday in the morning. The concierge cannot hold keys or open the dwelling if the owner or tenant is not present.
Also, if you are going to live at a new address, it is advisable to change your address with the bank, your employer and utility providers. In many cases the owner will ask for proof that you have paid the rent and that there are no outstanding bills: the electricity bill, the gas bill, the water bill and, if applicable, the community fee. Before signing, it is a good idea to visit a flat during the day to check whether it is bright and whether there is street noise. If you have already paid a deposit and ultimately do not take the flat, check the terms in writing.
