The Lease Agreement
Once you are ready to make a commitment to a specific apartment, you will be presented with a lease agreement. The lease is a legal document that is binding for both you and Eagle Ridge Village. It also specifies the terms and conditions of the agreement, and defines roles and responsibilities. Read this document over carefully so that you fully understand the legal agreement you are initiating.

Renters Insurance
Before you move in, it is important for you to obtain renters' insurance. This is a special insurance policy that protects the contents of your apartment from loss or damage due to fire or theft. A policy of this type is really quite affordable and premiums are calculated based upon the value of your furniture and other personal possessions.

Arrange for Utilities
Because utilities such as gas and electric, cable, Internet service and telephone service will be placed in your name, it is your responsibility to call and order service before you move in.

Arranging the Move
Once you have found your perfect apartment, completed the paperwork and have a move-in date in mind, it's time to locate a moving company. Ask friends and relatives for recommendations. Unless you choose to pay for the very expensive packing service, you will be responsible for packing everything yourself.

Consider purchasing bubble wrap and using it to wrap fragile items such as china, glasses or lamps. Liquor stores and supermarkets are a good place to find boxes or you may decide to purchase new boxes from the moving company or a mailing store.
