Things to Do Before Moving Into Your New Home

Set Up or Transfer Utilities

Contact SaskPower, SaskEnergy, and your internet provider to transfer or start service.

Update Your Address with Canada Post

Set up mail forwarding and update your address with banks, employer, driver’s license, etc.

Secure Home Insurance

Make sure your policy starts before possession day — most lawyers need proof in advance.

Schedule Movers or Reserve a Truck

Book well in advance, especially during busy months.

Change Locks or Reprogram Keypads

You never know who has a spare key — it’s an easy safety win.

Clean or Arrange Professional Cleaning

A fresh start feels even better in a freshly cleaned space.

Measure for Furniture

Check dimensions so you’re not wrestling your couch on move-in day.

Test Smoke and CO Detectors

Confirm they’re working and replace batteries if needed.

Plan for Kids and Pets

Arrange child or pet care during the move for a smoother experience.
