Clearly demonstrated by the Homles and Rahe Stress Scale for adults, a change of address is considered a stressful activity, assigned twenty points.

Similar to moving into a larger house, moving into a smaller house has its own set of challenges and regardless of square footage, moving can be difficult and very stressful. Help reduce your stress level by following a few simple rules for a stress-free move.

Start by downsizing if your moving into smaller accommodations. You will need to determine what furniture and other items will fit into your new home then give away, have a yard sale, or sell the stuff that you will not have room for. Monthly storage fees for your items can be expensive so its best to downsize and get rid of as much as you can.

Residential Moving

Loft living provides a unique space with lots of room….a type of space that is unique in many of today’s larger cities and is the quintessential city experience. While most lofts are unique their one common feature is space. In many cramped cities and small apartments, conversion of old factory space to loft living is ideal for the community.

Other than having a lot of space to roam around in, lofts have a higher than average ceiling, over-sized windows and offers serenity, history and character, inherent in each loft property. Most also offer shared amenities and are located in near proximity to shopping malls, schools and other publicly accessible spaces.

Before moving into your loft, consider that all the space will require energy for heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. As a result, don’t be too surprised if you find that your energy costs are higher than most other types of accommodation. When compared to an apartment of equivalent square footage, maintaining a livable space will cost more as a result of the extra space created by high ceilings.

If your moving into or out of a condominium, you may not be aware of the rules, regulations and costs that are imposed by many condominium corporations and their boards of directors. Some common fees which are required are an elevator reservation fee and in many cases a move out or move in fee. These fees are also subject to change by many condominium boards so be sure to check with building management as move out fees can total three hundred or more dollars in addition to a security deposit. Also, most condominium corporations do not allow for moving in or moving out during the evening hours, weekends, on holidays and only one dwelling is permitted to move in or out during the same time frame.

If your renting a condominium, some landlords will not mention a move in or move out fee, so be sure to ask your landlord about this, perhaps write it into your rental agreement so your not surprised by it. Ultimately, these fees are placed into reserve funds from which the corporation will draw on for building maintenance down the line.
