Toronto apartment moves need a clear floor-to-truck plan. List the unit size, stairs or elevator, hallway and doorway limits, curb access, room count, and bulky furniture before the estimate is prepared.

Bulky items
Toronto directs apartment and condominium residents to their building manager for furniture and appliance disposal locations. For items not accepted for reuse, its guidance allows oversized collection on garbage day where that service applies. Confirm the building’s arrangement before excluding furniture from the moving inventory.[1]
Parking
Toronto’s commercial loading zones are public space for active loading or unloading, with no exclusive right for one user. Check the posted operating times; a nearby loading sign does not reserve a bay for the full duration of a move.[2][3]
Building rules
Canada’s moving checklist calls for elevator, stairway and parking access to be reserved or cleared at both addresses. Notify the landlord or building manager of the arrival time and confirm the actual building arrangements before assigning the crew’s unloading window.[4][5]
Lease
For most Ontario tenancies, including monthly tenancies, Form N9 requires at least 60 days’ notice and a termination date on the final day of the rental period. A fixed term generally cannot end before its last day; the form describes exceptions, so check your own tenancy.[6]
Bulky items
Toronto’s Toxic Taxi is for City residential waste customers and collects 10–50 litres or kilograms of household hazardous waste per appointment, measured by labelled container capacity. At City-serviced apartments or condos, building staff or the property manager must arrange the pickup.[7]
Bulky items
Toronto requires Toxic Taxi liquids in sealed, non-leaking containers, with different material types kept separate in an open-topped container rather than a bag. Hazardous products cannot go in garbage, recycling, organics or drains; separate them from the ordinary moving-box inventory.[7]
Lease
The Ontario LTB’s T1 instructions describe the claim where a landlord has not allowed a prospective tenant to move in and has not returned the rent deposit. They state that the Residential Tenancies Act requires repayment when possession is denied. Confirm actual access and keep the rental records separately from the mover’s delivery receipt.[8]

For temporary street occupation, Toronto requires dates, times and a plan of the proposed area. The permit cannot extend beyond the property’s street frontage unless the adjoining owner gives written consent and waives related claims against the City. Confirm the applicable permit with Right of Way Management for the actual equipment and address.
