One of the tasks that you need to get done when moving to a new apartment is setting up the utilities. You will want to make sure that you get it all set up and ready to go before you move in, so that the lights and electricity and everything else will work from the moment you move into the apartment. You can talk to the landlord or the property manager of the apartment to ask about some of the preferred providers, or you can choose one that you like the best. Some of the steps you can take to set up your utilities include:

# Research some of the local providers: In some areas, you will be stuck with one options, but cities often have more than one. You should start researching what is offered in your area and see which one provides the best coverage, plans, and rates for what you need. Think about whether coverage or rates are more important to you when making this big decision.

# Determine your move-in date: After you have looked at the options and you know which service provider you would like to use for each utility, then you need to call them and let them know what date you would like the utilities switched to your name. Look at your lease to figure this out as well. If the landlord is covering any of these, then they will automatically be working when you move in.

# Schedule the appointment: Sometimes there needs to be an appointment for the utility to come to the apartment and get things set on. This is usually not necessary for things like your electric or gas, but will be if you want internet and cable. You can choose whether you want to deal with these on the move-in date with all of the other things that you need to get done, or choose to have them come the next day so that you can focus on all the other aspects that come along with moving to a new apartment.
