A Move Planned Around Your Building

A condo move connects a private home with shared building spaces. The elevator, corridors and loading area are part of the carrying route, so they need to be understood before the crew arrives. Trusty Moving plans condo and apartment relocations across Toronto and the GTA around the belongings and the access at both locations.

Tell us the unit floor, the building type and the preferred moving date. Explain whether the other end is another condo, a walk-up apartment or a house. A detailed inventory and the building instructions let us discuss a practical plan instead of relying only on the number of bedrooms.

Reserve the Elevator and Confirm the Moving Window

Contact building management to find out whether a service elevator must be booked and which moving windows are available. Confirm the reservation before treating a preferred date as final. Share the booking instructions and the available time with us, including separate arrangements at the destination if both buildings require reservations.

Ask how the elevator is accessed and whether building staff must unlock it or fit protective padding. Find out what happens if the reserved window changes. Keep the confirmation and management contact details available on moving day. The rules belong to the individual building; do not assume that a previous condo’s arrangements apply to your new home.

Loading Docks, Parking and Underground Clearance

Confirm where the moving vehicle is permitted to stop and how that position connects to the service entrance. A loading dock, an outdoor bay and an underground visitor space are different arrangements. Tell us about height limits, gates, booking requirements and any restricted approach before the move is confirmed.

A parking space does not automatically provide suitable loading access. If the vehicle cannot use an underground route, an alternative carrying route needs review. Provide photographs of the entrance and the path to the elevator, and pass on any building instructions about where vehicles may wait. Access should be agreed rather than improvised on arrival.

Narrow Corridors and Furniture That Needs a Plan

Measure large furniture and photograph the tightest points between the unit and the vehicle. Door openings, elevator doors, corridor corners and turns inside the apartment can all matter. Show the entire route so a large sofa or wardrobe is assessed against more than the room where it currently stands.

If furniture may need disassembly, identify the item and the work you are requesting in advance. Our Furniture Assembly service provides more information about assembly and disassembly enquiries. At the new home, decide where the larger pieces should go and leave room for placement before boxes fill the available floor space.

Care in Shared Areas

Floors, walls, door frames and elevator interiors need attention throughout the carrying route. Share your building’s protection requirements with us so the arrangements can be reviewed before moving day. Explain which materials or elevator preparation are supplied by management and which protection you need discussed as part of the moving work.

Keep the route clear and notify us of corners, thresholds or finishes requiring particular care. Building doors and shared corridors must remain usable for other residents. We review the movement of furniture through these areas alongside the inventory, rather than treating common spaces as an afterthought once everything is packed.

Packing the Apartment Without Blocking the Exit

Label boxes by destination room and keep their contents clear enough to identify fragile items. Leave space around the front door and the furniture that will move first. Identify belongings in storage lockers separately and confirm whether the locker can be reached during the same building window.

For help with wrapping or boxing, describe the rooms and items that remain unpacked. Our Packing Services page explains how to start that discussion. Keep keys, documents, medication and the essentials for your first evening with you. These should remain accessible while the rest of the apartment is being loaded.

Pianos and Heavy Items in a Condo

Mention a piano, safe or exercise machine at the start of your enquiry. Provide dimensions, any available weight or model information, and photos of the access. Elevator dimensions and capacity information should be confirmed with management where relevant; the presence of an elevator alone does not establish suitability.

Piano transportation has its own assessment through our Piano Moving service. For the broader household inventory, see Residential Moving. Tell us about unusual items before booking so their handling and the building route can be reviewed together.

From the First Enquiry to Delivery

Send an inventory, your preferred date, both locations and the access details you have confirmed. We review the requested work and ask for photographs or measurements where the route is unclear. Discuss the elevator window, packing needs and any additional preparation before confirming the plan.

On moving day, have someone available to provide entry and answer placement questions at both ends. Show the crew what is moving and what stays, and keep the loading instructions close at hand. At delivery, direct items to the agreed rooms and review placement before the team leaves. For a longer preparation guide, read our Toronto condo moving rules article.

Condo Moving FAQ

Do I book the condo elevator myself?

Contact your building management to confirm its procedure and reserve the moving window where required. Share the confirmed elevator and loading arrangements with Trusty Moving before the move.

What if the moving truck cannot enter the underground parking?

Tell us about clearance and access restrictions before booking. Confirm a permitted loading position with management and show the alternative carrying route so it can be assessed.

Can you move large furniture through narrow corridors?

We review the item dimensions, door openings, elevator and corridor turns before confirming the work. Send photos and measurements and identify furniture that may need disassembly.

How are shared floors and walls considered during a move?

Share the building protection requirements in advance. We review the carrying route and discuss protection arrangements, including any elevator preparation supplied by management, as part of planning the move.
