Ryan Cadwell gives tenants moving in summer four rules: schedule for early morning around 10 AM, get air conditioning running before move-in day, drink constantly and take breaks, and do a documented inspection before unpacking anything.

You choose to move in the middle of summer. That's truly brave, especially in the heat. Here's how to make it survivable. Schedule your move for early in the morning, 10 AM if possible. Afternoon moving in July is a medical event. Make sure your utilities are on, especially your air conditioner. Make sure it's on before move-in day and don't wait until after you move in. Tenants, make sure to hydrate. Keep water with you at all times. Take breaks. It's not a weakness. It's physics. Do your move-in inspection carefully, even when you're exhausted and sweaty. You will thank yourself later. And document everything before you unpack a single box.
