What Apartment Renters Need to Know During COVID-19

With COVID-19 raging in California, Los Angeles Greater Area is coping with the situation very well. But many are still confused about their lease and rent situation as well as moving restrictions.

Many questions arise about legal aspects of rent payment, what to do when the lease ends - are residents allowed to move, or should they stay and violate the lease agreement by not moving due to pandemic.

As we recommend to talk to a legal adviser about your particular case we want to let our community know that moving business such as ours (Rockstar Pro Movers, Inc serving Los Angeles County and Greater Los Angeles Area) is categorized as an essential business. And moving companies are still operational and are allowed to move tenants from place to place in California.

Before choosing a moving company, please check with your current building and with your future residence if they allow moving in or out. As of right now, there are no restrictions for household movers. Therefore, you can call your local moving company and request to schedule a moving date.

If you are concerned about COVID-19, but still really need to move from place to place at the end of your lease during the pandemic, talk to your moving company to provide movers with face masks and gloves. We can also provide our customers with floor runner to protect the floors and your carpet by covering it with plastic or paper floor covers.

If you are moving more than a studio or one-bedroom and need a visual estimate, to minimize the human contact you can request a Facetime visual, otherwise have the moving company to do your inventory survey online by email or phone. We do agree that to comply with CDC measures we highly recommend everyone to stay home and move your household goods only if you really need to.

Stay home, be safe.
