Moving day goes smoother with a plan. Use this checklist for your new Augusta apartment.
Two weeks before
- Confirm what's billed through the property (some services, like water/sewer, may be a monthly charge) and what you'll set up yourself.
- Set up electricity in your name for your move-in date — ask the leasing office which provider serves your unit.
- Schedule internet early; installation appointments fill up.
- Buy renters insurance and keep proof of coverage handy if your lease requires it.
Moving week
- File a change of address with USPS.
- Update your address with your bank, employer, and insurance.
- Do a walk-through with the leasing team and note any existing wear on your move-in inspection form. Take photos.
First 30 days
- New to Georgia? New residents generally have 30 days to get a Georgia driver's license and register their vehicle. Check the Georgia Department of Driver Services and Richmond County Tag Office for details.
- Register to vote at your new address.
- Sign up for the resident portal to pay rent online and submit maintenance requests.
Make it home
Find your new favorite coffee spot, walk the Augusta Canal, and meet your neighbors at the dog park or playground.
