They say that moving is one of the most stressful things you’ll do in life.
At Trylon Montreal, we make apartment living easy which is why we’ve put together the ultimate apartment essentials checklist.
While we’re not offering to help move boxes (lift with your knees!), we can help ease the stress. Depending on which of our apartments you’ve chosen, not everything on the checklist will apply. Those moving into fully furnished Pine Avenue apartments are unlikely to need a bed but will still need to pack shampoo!
Consider your new space and use this checklist as a guide to packing and a reminder of things you’re likely to forget. Broken down into key areas for easy access, this is your everything checklist for apartment essentials.
