What To Do When You Are In Between Moves (Plan Your Temporary Housing if Your New Home is Not Ready in Time for Your Move)

So you are all ready for the move but there is one problem: you have to move out of your current location before your new location is ready! Whether it’s a week, a month, or even a couple of months, it’s a dreaded problem that T-N-T Moving Systems can help you resolve!

Storage

First thing’s first, where to store your belongings? The last thing you want is to have to haul everything your own in between homes, apartments, or hotels while you wait for the big day! Make things easy and let T-N-T Moving Systems load up all your furniture and store it in their temperature controlled storage units. 

Where to Stay

This is the tricky part. The best place to stay really depends on the length of time and the number of people in your family. There are several options to consider!

Airbnb

If you have a few nights, or even a month, Airbnb has a number of housing options that could be useful. If it is just you, you can find an inexpensive place to crash for a night or two by searching for a shared space. This means you could sleep on someone’s couch. 

Airbnb also offers private rooms. If you are looking for a place for you and one or two others, getting a private room is a great option. These are rooms that are private but offer shared places like the living room or kitchen area. 

Now if you like full privacy, or need a space for the whole family, you can search for an entire house. Airbnb offers homes for rent that can accommodate your whole crew. Whether you need a couch, a room, or an entire home, Airbnb has options. You can rent a place for a single night or search for extended stay for longer periods of time.

A Hotel

Hotels are often very small spaces and can be pricey. If you just need a place to stay for a night or two, a hotel might not be a bad choice. But if you need a place for a longer amount of time, this option can become quite pricey. Many hotels do offer options and discounts for week-long stays.

An Apartment

If you need a place to stay for a few months you could get a short-term apartment. Many apartments offer leases for as short as three months. But, beware these prices are usually prorated and can be very expensive. You might also consider checking with the apartment for other short term stay options. Many apartments have places that they rent out by the night. So if you like your own space this could be very helpful.

As you approach the big moving day, give T-N-T Moving Systems a call. We can load your belongs in a moving truck, store your furniture and belongings in a temperature controlled unit, and move your items to the new location. Make this move stress free by letting us do the hard part! Call 704-523-1455 to book your moving date.

The Best Time to Move

The most popular time to move is in the spring and summer months. Kids are out of school and college students are finishing classes. This makes it a prime time for families to move but it also makes renting price rise. Landlords are piled with rent turnover and experience a high volume of potential renters which allows them to increase rate. The rates for apartments and other renting spaces are often the most expensive during the months from May to September.

The best monthly rates are usually given during the winter months. This is when leasing offices are not busy and landlords are looking for renters.
