Utilities: Contact utility providers well in advance to schedule disconnection at your current home and reconnection at your new home. Arrange for final meter readings and settle any outstanding bills.
-
Mail Forwarding: Arrange for mail forwarding through your postal service to ensure you receive all important correspondence at your new address from day one.
