What to know about Apartment moving

Moving out of a rented apartment is a moving job wrapped inside a tenancy. The mover is carrying your furniture, but the landlord is holding your deposit, and the two are connected by a rule most renters have never read. California's security deposit statute allows a landlord to claim against the deposit for the repair of damages to the premises, exclusive of ordinary wear and tear, caused by the tenant or by a guest or licensee of the tenant. Your movers are your licensees. A scratch they leave on the hallway wall is, in deposit terms, your scratch.

Apartment move costs in Evanston

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:

  • Amount of furniture and boxes
  • Distance between the two homes
  • Stairs, elevators and parking at each end
  • Packing and unpacking services
  • Heavy or specialty items, such as pianos
  • Date and time of year
  • Storage between moves

How to choose apartment movers in Evanston

  • Ask for a written estimate based on an in-person or video walkthrough, not only a phone call.
  • Find out whether the price is fixed or based on actual time, weight or volume.
  • Ask what coverage is included if something is lost or damaged, and what extra coverage costs.
  • Be cautious of movers who ask for a large deposit up front or won't give you a written contract.
  • For condos and apartments, check that the mover can work within your building's elevator booking and loading rules.

Questions to ask apartment movers before you hire

  • Is your estimate a fixed price, or will it change based on actual time or weight?
  • What coverage is included if something is damaged or lost?
  • Are there extra charges for stairs, long carries, heavy items or waiting time?
  • Will your own employees do the move, or will you use subcontractors?
  • How much deposit do you need, and when is the balance due?
  • What is your policy if the move is delayed or I need to reschedule?

Apartment move permits in Illinois

Some apartment move work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common apartment move questions

Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?

Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.

How many pros will contact me?

We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.

Do I have to hire someone?

No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
