> Pay the move-in money, work through the move-in checklist, and ask the landlord for a moving window.

Around your move-in date, [My lease](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/lease) shows a **Moving in** strip: sign the lease, deposits, schedule, checklist.

## Pay the move-in money

The landlord posts what is due before you move in (security deposit, first month's rent, any fees) on your lease. [Move-in charges](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/move-in/charges) lists them; if nothing is posted yet, it says so.

You pay them the same way as rent, from **Pay rent**: see [Pay rent and set up autopay](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/tenants/pay-rent-and-autopay). Your deposits and what you have paid are recorded on your lease ledger. The landlord must have finished setting up their payout account before you can pay; if they have not, the page says so and you should ask them.

## Work through the checklist

[Move-in checklist](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/move-in/checklist) lists the usual steps: sign the lease, pay the move-in money, renter's insurance, schedule your move, set up utilities, collect keys and building access, and the move-in inspection. Tick each off as you go; ticks are saved. Most items have **Go** to the right page; for utilities and keys, sort them out with the providers and your landlord. Your landlord arranges the move-in inspection. Its checklist item opens [Move-in inspection](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/move-in/inspection), with the date and inspector and, once it is done, the condition of each room. It is the record your move-out is compared against, so if something looks wrong, tell your landlord while it is fresh.

## Schedule your move

On [Schedule your move](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/move-in/schedule), pick a **Preferred date**, add a note (elevator, parking, keys) and press **Request window**. It shows **Awaiting confirmation** until the landlord confirms or declines it, with their note. Movers or cleaners your landlord recommends are listed there too.

Need help moving? Open **Maintenance › Move support**: it takes you to a new request, where you choose the work type **Moving** and describe the move. Your landlord assigns one of their movers at an agreed price, a **Pay your mover** card appears on the request, and you pay there. The money is held and released to the mover after the landlord confirms the work.
