People view an apartment thinking about whether they want to live there, which is reasonable, and skip the questions that determine whether their belongings can get into it.

Ten minutes at the viewing prevents most of what goes wrong later.

Just-In-Time Moving handles apartment moves across West Valley City and Salt Lake County.

Measure while you are there

The narrowest doorway, which is usually an interior door rather than the entrance.

The turn at the top or bottom of any staircase, and the ceiling height above it. A long item has to be tilted to get round a corner and the tilt needs headroom.

The lift, if there is one: width, depth and the door opening, which is often smaller than the car.

The rooms your existing furniture has to fit. Sofas and beds above all.

Photograph the entrance, the stairs and the route. It takes two minutes and it is what we would ask for anyway.

Ask the office five things

What appliances are included? Refrigerator, washer and dryer, or a hookup with nothing in it. People buy a fridge for a unit that has one, or arrive to find nowhere to wash clothes.

Does the move need booking, and are hours restricted?

Where does a moving truck actually go, and is there a height restriction? Carport and parking structure clearances catch people out constantly.

Do you require a certificate of insurance from the mover? Ask early, because their processing is the slow part.

What is required on move-out? Read the condition and cleaning terms now rather than at the end, when they are expensive to satisfy.

Check the practical things

Where the utilities are and whose name they go in. Whether window coverings are fitted. Where the mailbox is. Whether storage is assigned.

None of these are moving questions and all of them land in your first week.

Then photograph everything on move-in day

Every room, floors, walls, doorframes, appliances and any existing mark, before your belongings are inside. Keep them somewhere you will still have them when the lease ends.

That is the entire deposit argument, made in ten minutes, at the only moment it can be made.
