New Apartment? Here’s What to Do First!

Moving into a new RPM Living apartment is exciting, but once the boxes are in, what’s next? Here’s a checklist of essential tasks to make your move smooth and stress-free.

Inspect Your Apartment

Before unpacking, do a walkthrough. Check for any maintenance issues and document anything that needs attention. RPM Living’s responsive maintenance team is always here to help!

Set Up Utilities & Internet

If utilities aren’t included, make sure your water, electricity, and internet are up and running so you can settle in comfortably.

Deep Clean Before Unpacking

Even in a brand-new apartment, a quick wipe-down of counters, cabinets, and floors can make a big difference.

Change Your Address

Update your address for mail, subscriptions, and important accounts like banks and insurance providers.

Unpack Essentials First

Start with must-haves like toiletries, a change of clothes, and kitchen basics so you can function right away.

Personalize Your Space

Add decor, hang up art using renter-friendly materials such as velcro strips or command hooks, and arrange furniture to make your new apartment feel like home.
