Utilities
We recommend reaching out to your utility providers to let them know of your upcoming move. Gas, electrical, phone/cable/Internet and alarm companies are the main ones. Simply let each know that you would like services to start up on the day of closing and you will be set.
Please click on the links below to visit each utility company’s webpage on ‘moving to set up.
Property Tax + Waste Utility - Your lawyer will be the one submitting a letter at closing to the City of Toronto Revenue Services. You will not be able to start this process until the letter is submitted. After that, you will be able to request the mailing address change and final meter reading.
Enercare / Alternative Utility Provider - If your water tank is owned, not rented, you will not need to set up an account.
Change of Address
Since your address will be changing now that you are moving we suggest allowing one month to completely change over the address for each of the items listed.
Driver’s license, health cards, insurance
Employer, doctor, dentist
Mail (to make this transition easier you can get Canada Post to forward your mail. Click here to set that up.)
Any subscriptions (meal kits like Hello Fresh, magazines, etc.)
Memberships and charities
Bank accounts, credit cards, and tax office (Canada Revenue Agency)
