Renter's Insurance
DON'T FORGET - RENTER'S INSURANCE IS REQUIRED! Damage caused by a resident is usually the financial responsibility of that resident, not the property owner. To fulfill lease obligations and to protect liability risks, residents are required to provide evidence of liability or property damage insurance at a minimum limit of $100,000. Residents may choose the insurance company and policy limits that are most appropriate for each situation, providing the minimum limit is satisfied. Please inform the insurance provider to have The Apartments at Blakeney listed on the policy as an "additional insured" or "interested party".
For the convenience of residents that do not have a specific insurance agent identified, we have arranged for a convenient, affordable insurance option for this community. First American Property & Casualty Insurance Company has made available Renters Insurance Select, an insurance program developed for multifamily residents. There is no application, no credit check and acceptance is guaranteed for residents of this community! To learn more about this coverage, obtain a premium quote or purchase a policy please visit www.rentersinsuranceselect.com, and enter Community ID 8801576 to identify you as a resident of this community.

Many find moving day less hectic if the lease/paperwork is completed prior to your move-in date. This will allow you time to review and be clear on all the material before you move in. Just call the office at (704) 714-4788, arrange to have your lease prepared, and we'll have it ready for your signature in advance of your move.
Moving Personal Belongings
Set a date to move. Moving Date: ______________________________
Contact a moving company or reserve a moving truck (allow 2-4 weeks notice in the summer).

Moving Tips...- Label boxes (i.e., kitchen - glasses, living room - lamps)
- Use smaller boxes for heavier objects (i.e., books, computers)
- List/inventory all boxes and keep a copy in a safe place
- Pack fridge/freezer items in a cooler(s)
- Obtain supplies: bubble wrap (may be purchased from a moving company) is best when packing china, glass, etc. (Newspaper tends to stain).
Moving Day...
Schedule and confirm a planned starting time with those who are moving you.
Assign someone to check-off boxes as they are delivered.
Prepare a simple meal ahead of time or have extra money to eat in/order out.
