Apartment & Plex Moves
The classic July 1 move: a walk-up to a walk-up, planned around stairs, parking and an outgoing tenant.
Apartment & Condo MovingJuly 1 Moving Day
July 1 Moving Day Movers Montreal
July 1 moving day movers in Montreal book out earlier than any other date, because most Quebec residential leases start on July 1 and a large share of the city moves the same weekend. UnBox plans these moves around that reality: reserved crews, realistic arrival windows and a plan for the tenant who is leaving as you arrive.
Why choose it
What you get
Crew and truck reserved for your date, confirmed in writing
Arrival windows that account for citywide traffic
A plan for overlapping tenants at both addresses
June 30 and July 2 options when July 1 is full
Same protection and care as any other day
The busiest weekend of the year
July 1 Moving Services in Montreal
Most Quebec leases turn over on July 1, so the whole city moves at once. These are the ways we take on that weekend.
June 30 & July 2 Moves
When both leases allow it, a day either side of July 1 usually means more time slots and a calmer day.
Packing the Days Before
Packing done a day or two ahead so moving day itself is loading, driving and unloading.

Lease changes near McGill, Concordia, UdeM and UQAM often land on the same date.

Built for July 1 in Montreal
On July 1 the constraint is not the truck, it is everything around it: streets full of other trucks, elevators booked back to back, and the tenant leaving your new place while you wait outside. We book crews for that date well ahead, set arrival windows that account for the traffic, and plan the load order so we can start with whatever rooms are free the moment we get in.

The process
How a July 1 Move Works
Lock the date early
Request a quote as soon as the lease is signed; June 30 to July 2 slots go first.
We plan both addresses
Stairs, elevator windows, parking and the likely tenant overlap, confirmed on a planning call.
We load in the right order
Protected, strapped and loaded so the first rooms free at the new place can be filled first.
We unload and set up
Furniture in the rooms you name, beds rebuilt, and one contact until the last box is in.

FAQ
Common questions
How far ahead should I book movers for July 1 in Montreal?
As early as you can. Slots for June 30, July 1 and July 2 fill weeks in advance. Once your lease is signed, request a quote and lock the date.
What if the previous tenant is still there when we arrive?
It happens often on July 1. We stage boxes and furniture in the order that lets us start with rooms that are free, and coordinate with the other party on the spot. Tell us in advance if you expect an overlap so we plan the timing.
Is July 1 priced differently?
Your move follows the same hourly structure shown on our pricing page. Heavy traffic and building queues can add time on that weekend, which is why we build a realistic arrival window into the plan.
Can you move me on June 30 or July 2 instead?
Yes, and those dates often have more open time slots. If both leases allow it, moving a day before or after July 1 usually makes for a calmer day.
Do you handle parking for the truck on moving day?
We plan the closest safe spot with you in advance. Temporary no-parking signs are requested from the borough by the resident; check the rules for your street a couple of weeks ahead.
Can you also pack for a July 1 move?
Yes. Packing can be added and is usually done a day or two before, which keeps moving day itself shorter. Ask for it when you request the quote.
