Residence change
For boxes, clothing, a desk and other declared belongings between residences.
STUDENTS
Student Moving
A room, studio or small apartment assessed according to volume and access.
Student moves often involve a room, studio or small apartment, but building access and timing still matter. DTHV reviews the actual inventory rather than assuming every student move is the same.
The service can be considered for a residence change, first apartment or shared housing within served areas. Price, resources and availability are confirmed for the specific request.
FOR YOUR PROJECT
When this service may be useful
A few practical situations to identify when you submit your request.
First apartment
For a compact inventory that may include a bed, table and small appliances.
Shared housing
For one person's clearly separated belongings in a multi-person address.
A room in shared housing is not the entire apartment
List your belongings and separately identify shared furniture that is actually coming with you. A bed, desk, books and boxes need a more precise inventory than the word 'room'. State what will remain with your roommates.
If items are spread between a rental, residence and another address, mention every pickup. Student status or a small inventory does not establish a discount, minimum charge or special package.
PREPARATION
Prepare the project before moving day
Accurate information supports a realistic scope adapted to the actual access.
- 1Separate your inventory from a roommate's and label every box.
- 2Confirm residence or building access hours directly with management.
- 3Measure any bulky furniture and mention stairs or elevators.
- 4Keep identification, school documents, electronics and medication with you.
PROCESS
A clear step-by-step approach
Compact inventory
The declared boxes, furniture and access determine the project scope.
Address details
Residence, apartment and arrival procedures are recorded in advance.
Organized loading
Clearly labelled belongings reduce confusion in shared spaces.
Room placement
Items are directed to the agreed destination area on arrival.
Residence access, keys and furniture preparation
Check entry rules and permitted moving hours with the residence or landlord. Describe the floor and the route from the street. Keep small furniture parts together and specify whether you will prepare the furniture yourself or are requesting assistance.
Set aside documents and items needed immediately after arrival. When comparing options, use the same inventory and access details rather than relying only on an advertised price.
