Move-In & Move-Out Coordination in Montreal

Tenant transitions are one of the highest-risk moments for your building.

Poor coordination means wall damage, stuck doors, moving trucks blocking access for hours. Jones handles all the logistics so transitions go smoothly.

  • Inspection before and after
  • Key and access management
  • Photo documentation

The problem this solves

Montreal's July 1st moving day is infamous for a reason.

Damage

Hallways scraped by furniture, elevators monopolized for hours.

Deposit disputes

Without before/after photos, disputes over damage deposits come down to guesswork.

Lost days

A delayed, undocumented move-in costs the owner several days of rent.

Jones manages the entire sequence so transitions don't become a building-wide disruption or a documentation gap that costs you later.

What move coordination covers

  • Scheduling time slots to avoid collisions
  • Managing keys and building access
  • Coordinating with moving trucks and loading zones
  • Before/after inspection with photo documentation
  • Professional communication with both tenants
  • Confirming move-in-ready condition

We flag any damage beyond normal wear and tear so it can be addressed against the deposit appropriately.

Who is this service for?

  • Owners who've experienced a poorly coordinated move
  • More than one unit in the same building
  • Transitions concentrated around July 1st
  • You want clean, documented records at every turnover

This service saves enormous headaches, particularly during the July 1st moving season when scheduling conflicts and building damage are most common.

Poor move coordination costs thousands in Montreal

Unsupervised damage

Deposit disputed without proof

Cleaning delayed

Lost month of rent

Roughly 200,000 people move simultaneously across Greater Montreal on July 1st. An uncoordinated move during this period creates chaos: outgoing and incoming tenants arriving the same day, trucks blocking access for hours, common areas damaged. Professional coordination protects the building and creates the documentation needed if disputes arise later.

Move challenges vary by neighborhood

Older buildings

Plateau, Rosemont, Verdun: narrow staircases and small elevators mean higher damage risk.

Downtown high-rises

Ville-Marie, Griffintown require elevator reservations and strict timing windows.

Outer boroughs

Different loading bylaws and parking restrictions by district.

Jones understands these neighborhood realities: Plateau moves need extra wall protection, high-rise moves need elevator coordination, outer-borough buildings might have multiple loading doors.

What you get

How it works

01

Transition announced

Jones is informed of a departure or arrival, often weeks in advance, and starts planning logistics around the building's schedule.

02

Coordination planned

Time slots confirmed with both tenants, building access organized, moving trucks or freight elevator bookings coordinated.

03

Moving day

Jones supervises the transition on the ground, manages access for movers, and ensures building rules are respected.

04

Inspection and report

A documented unit inspection is completed before and after the move, condition recorded with photos, and a clear report sent to the owner.
