Calendar file works with Google, Apple and Outlook calendars. Times are recommendations; check official deadlines below under Notifications.
Electricity contract to new address
Electricity contract does not transfer automatically. Make a new contract 2-4 weeks before moving and cancel the old one on the moving day. In an apartment building, electricity may be included in the rent – check first. Report the meter reading on the moving day.

Internet and connection to new home
Check the fibre and broadband of your new address before ordering. Connecting fibre can take weeks, so order in advance. Mobile broadband is a good backup plan for the first few weeks.

Moving calculator
Edit price assumptions
The estimate is based on general rules of thumb: about 0,4 m³ of goods per living square meter in a typical household (according to moving industry guidelines, a studio apartment is about 10–17 m³, a two-room apartment 17–30 m³, a three-room apartment 20–37 m³) and about 0,85 boxes per living square meter. It's a good idea to book a vehicle 15–20% larger than the estimate. Prices are assumptions, change them to your own. Accurate volume by furniture: Moving calculator Excel.
Moving help, moving cleaning and final cleaning
Everything you usually need for a move: moving help, transportation and cleaning. You can get a household deduction for the work part of the service – check the terms and percentage at vero.fi.

Do you do it yourself or hire someone?

Questions about moving
When should the moving notification be made?
The moving notification can be made at the earliest one month before the move and at the latest within a week of the move. With the same notification, the information will be sent to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency and Posti at muuttoilmoitus.fi.
How much does the move cost?
As your own move, the costs of a two-room apartment are typically a truck rental (about 100–160 €/day) and boxes. A moving company usually costs around 100–150 € per hour for two movers and a truck; a two-room move is typically around 630–970 €. Calculate your own estimate with the Moving Calculator.
How many moving boxes do I need?
The rule of thumb is about 0.85 boxes per square meter of living space: for a two-room apartment (52 m²) about 45 boxes. The Moving Calculator refines the estimate based on the amount of goods and storage.
What is the notice period for a tenant?
In a lease agreement that is valid until further notice, the tenant's notice period is one calendar month. It is calculated from the last day of the month in which the notice of termination is given. A fixed-term agreement cannot, in principle, be terminated in the middle of the period.
Will the electricity contract transfer to the new address?
Not automatically. Make a new electricity contract for the new address and cancel the old one on the day of the move. The move is a good opportunity to tender the contract.
Can you get a household deduction for the move?
You can get a household deduction for the work part of the moving service and moving cleaning, when the company is in the prepayment register. Check the current deduction percentage and maximum amount at vero.fi.
What to remember when moving a company?
The notice period of the old premises (often 3-6 months), ordering telecommunications in time, informing staff and customers, and changing the address in YTJ, Posti, website and invoices. Choose Yritysmuutto from Muuttokone.
