Lift Booking

Booking a Lift for Your Move: What You Need to Know

If your new home is in an apartment building, booking a lift for your move-in day is a must. Each building has its own set of bylaws and procedures for move-ins, so it’s important to plan and follow the rules.

Why Do You Need to Book a Lift?

Apartment buildings have specific rules to ensure smooth move-ins for all residents, protect the lift from damage and ensure not more than 1 moving are taking place. These rules often include:

• Advance notice periods (e.g., 48 hours or more).
• Restricted booking days (e.g., Monday to Friday only).
• Booking methods (e.g., through a building portal or directly with the building manager).
• Security deposits (e.g., a cash deposit on the day of the move).

Failing to book a lift or follow the building’s procedures could leave you unable to move in on your planned day... and that's some dramas nobody wants!

How to Make a Booking?

1. Contact the Building Manager: As soon as you’ve signed your lease, reach out to the building manager of your new apartment. They’ll provide all the details about lift bookings and move-in procedures.
2. Check the Rules: Ask about notice periods, booking methods, allowed move-in days, and any fees or deposits required.
3. Book Early: Secure your lift booking as soon as possible to avoid missing out on your preferred move-in date.
