Especilly people with long established households. Soon your house will be full too. Shop garage sales and bargin hard. Find out which newspapers have the auction listings for great deals on older large pieces of furniture. When your cost of replacing every thing you've put in the appartment reaches 2000 dollars, buy renters insurance. Tell everyone you know that you need stuff.

No, seriously. Moving day is a great chance to see how cooperative that building's superintendent is. Did they pad the elevator ahead of your arrival? Most buildings have specific days and/or hours for moving - did the super give you a hard time about any of that? Is the super holding the door(s) for your or the movers if they happen to be around at the same time, or letting it slam in your face and theirs? It may seem trivial in light of your overall task of moving, but do take heed of your interaction with the super at this point, because it gives you a great idea of what they are like, and sets the tone for your subsequent life in that building. As for actual household items, you can't possibly plan on having every last thing ahead of a move. Resign yourself to a future filled with trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond, Container Store, etc...

You also need an account with your local utilities such as the power company and a telephone hook up account. If you have pets and the apartment allows them, you will need a pet deposit.
