Start with the essential accounts
Use the ZIP lookup to identify likely providers, then confirm the property with each official source.
- Electricity and outage contacts.
- Water plus sewer or septic status.
- Internet installation and property access.
- Trash, recycling, yard waste, and bulk collection.
- City and county emergency information.
Learn the house while service starts
Locate the main water shutoff and electrical panel, test smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, and keep inspection findings available. Do not open sealed utility equipment or attempt unsafe repairs.
Keep a clean record
Save start dates, confirmation numbers, account contacts, deposits, meter information when provided, and the first bill. MoveIn does not collect or store these account materials.
