Moving service can be costly and for some when you are looking for a small amount of items to move you call around and find the movers that you are getting price quotes from our basically set up for those big minimum charges and geared towards big moves or you’ll find a mover that does small moves but the truck they have is too small for your move Over the years of being in the moving business we’ll share with you these tips that will make your move a better move and less costly to your wallet.

The first, when you have a small move it’s better to ask the mover that you are talking to to have the crew bring a large moving truck and the reason why is that the bigger the truck the quicker your move will go avoiding those extra hourly charges for the team to pack the truck like a puzzle to fit everything on. The bigger truck makes the move go quicker and all the men have to do is just floor load instead of packing it tight.

Secondly, try to ask the mover if they can bring the bigger truck for the same price as the smaller truck .

Thirdly, Try to get the movers to park the truck closer to the entrance or door that you will be coming out of to load and if you have steps that are not that steep ask if the mover can place the walk boards over top of the steps as this will avoid the men have to waste time climbing up and down steps.

Fourthly, If anything in your residence appears to not to be able to go thru a door way with the door on well then take the door off yourself and have this done before the team comes to move you. This will save you time having to pay for the team to take a door off.

Fifth, make it a point to have one specific door that the movers will go in and out of your residence.

These steps and more will help you move in less time and save you money at the end of the job. For more tips visit our website at https://mozermoving.com

Resources for Apartment renters in Pennsylvania by B Rogers at ecm.tempurl.host a Philadelphia Moving Company. I myself part of the Eastern Connection Movers team thought that I would write this post in our blog here to give my fellow apartment renters a resource to go to on Moving into your new apartment, moving out and of course landlord and tenants rights as what they can do and what they can’t do to you as a tenant.

In each of the many moves my company has done we hear cases every now and then where a tenant was done wrong by a landlord or the other way around so I thought that this would be a great handy post to the resources information at the very opening of this post entitled ” Resources for Apartment renters in Pennsylvania” and of course these many laws and rules apply in most cases to renters in other states as well I’m sure and for certain. The resources pages that I have linked to talk about:

1: Title 68 of Pennsylvania renters law

2: Deposits and escrow

3: Real property

4: discrimination

5: Leases and agreements

6: Official state codes to the laws in all (50 states):

7: If you have a claim how to get free legal representation and evaluation of your claim.

The best part of this post and the resource is that even if you aren’t a resident of Pennsylvania you still can get the information on any state you may be a renter in. Further, this resources comes from a very informative site that even attorneys go to when they need to find what they are looking for on various codes and laws. If you can’t afford an attorney thru this resource you might be able to get free representation if you are having housing problems associated with your lease.

Some other helpful tips to remember :

8): Always check out the owners of the apartments where you are planning to move into. You do an online search or search local county or city records to see if there were any violations in the past and ask a current resident of how it is there before you make a final decision to take that apartment or find something else.

Some important questions to ask are.

9): Is there any insect infestations and has there been any in the past and when?

10): How about the plumbing and heating in the building as to if they have had any problems in the past and when?
11): How about the air conditioning system?

12): How about the parking in the evening is it congested ?

13): If there ever was a problem and you needed a repair done how long did it take for a repair person to show up?

14): Ask a current resident if there has ever been any crime or break in at the apartment building and when if any did it happen?

It is a good idea to be really informed about moving into a new apartment building because the better you are informed the better decision of where to move to will be helpful to you in the long run.

Turn on your vac and use the wash side first then click to the Rinse side button and watch the machine just pick up the dirt . Believe me this cheap Store bought stuff is cheaper then Rug cleaner from the same store you buy the Ajax and Armour and Hammer and you get much better results.

My father knew that his life was coming to and end after decades he had accumulated a vast number of tools in his garage and had even started his own automotive restoration business having done many antique cars over his years as I remember and had collected many cars. Recently he started to sell off some of his antique cars to enjoy his last days. My father indicated to me that he would take care of everything in his will and we left it at that. About a year or so later he finally died and everything was for us to sort out. We found out after his death that he had no will and this left us in quite a hole that we had to dig out of with a spoon. I may add that I have a sister whom had to team up with me to get this all sorted out .

First, we had to sort out the trash from the treasures including the home furnishings that were in his house and the garage full of all of his tools. Some of the tasks we had to jump thru we would like to share these with you the reader of this article.

First, we had to go thru the entire house looking for any hidden documents as we suggest to you if this is a situation you ever have to go thru is to check all areas of the house including looking carefully thru all books especially the pages of books because I’ve heard of stories were people whom have died And had a habit of placing money money in and between the pages of books in case they were robbed as a thief would never think of looking in the pages of books on a book shelf for money. Titles to cars might be hidden in some books or other deeds or who knows what you might find. We did find money in a few of the books and some other documents. Look every place even behind items that you might not suspect could be a hiding place.

By looking in these places you might find.

Home Owner’s policy: If you plan to sell the home you will need to keep this document until the day of the settlement /sale of the home.

Will: Look for the will any updated ones

Insurance: This could be a private policy or one purchased thru an employer.

Bank Accounts: Carefully read as some banks combined all accounts into one statement.

Letters from any friends: Take the friends and write to them informing them of your relatives passing.

Letters and articles from the deceased: By reading these may bring comfort to you.

Bills and receipts: Contact all creditors and all three credit bureaus to inform them to freeze new charges.

Stocks and bonds: These documents could be tucked away in some hidden places.

Sensitive documents: If you find sensitive documents that are still applicable it’s a good idea to place them into a safe place of your own and if the documents are out of date it would be a good idea to shred them.

In our case since my father didn’t leave a will it was a little complicated as I said digging our way out of a hole with a spoon. The main ingredient of this was to get the house in order and tie up the loose ends. Pennsylvania, which is our state has a law called the ” Intestate Succession” which basically makes it by law that all assets and property go to the relatives ” Children or Spouse if they are did alive.

Which Assets Pass by Intestate Succession:

The only assets that are in your will are passed thru by Intestate Succession laws. Usually this includes the assets that you own in your name.

Many assets and valuables don;t go thru the will and will not be affect by Intestate succession laws:

Here are some items that are not effected.

* All property that has and was transferred to a living trust.

* Life insurance payments

* Funds in your retirement account or an IRA (401k).

* Securities held in a-on-death-account

* A payable on death account

* Property that you own or in joint tenancy with someone else.

The above will pass to the surviving relative or someone in your will whether you have a will or not.

In most cases where a relative had died in the house and there are a lot of items to be sorted out and decide whom gets what as in my case with my sister it’s best to sit down and decide that cordially at a family meeting and anything that you wish to sell you should either sell or have an auction especially with big ticket items are recommended for an auction.

What about any remaining bills and the mortgage:

Contact the mortgage company or bank and inform them of the death and try to come to an agreement with the bank or mortgage company if you decide to sell the property. Pay off all invoices and bills that remain. If you don’t get any cooperation with the bank or mortgage company then find and hire an attorney.

What about big items that remain and you want to keep:

If you find yourself desiring to keep some big items from the estate and you need to transport them it’s recommended that you hire the best moving company .

By hiring a moving company you can save your back and time avoiding to rent a truck and the equipment to do the task.
