MOVE-IN and DELIVERY PROCESS GUIDELINES
MOVE-IN and DELIVERY
PROCESS GUIDELINES
Welcome to The Grande South at Santa Fe Place and congratulations on the
purchase of your exquisite new home. It is our goal to make this
transition for you as seamless and easy as possible, while at the
same time maintaining your security and privacy, preserving the
condition of the building and preventing conflicts among residents.
In order for us to insure this takes place we have developed the
following Move-In Guideline document to help you.
All move-ins and furniture deliveries will be coordinated and scheduled
through the Associate Manager, Mark Simmons; Mark may be contacted
by phone at 619-236-1122, or via e-mail at
msimmons@prescottmgt.com. Coordinating move-ins in this
manner will help us ensure that you are provided the necessary
elevator availability. All requirements for move-ins apply to both
professional-moving companies and the homeowners who contract for
their services.
Please note that owners who are planning to have post-close construction
modifications of their homes must also coordinate their plans so as
to insure proper scheduling of the padded elevator. When the padded
elevator is not available, owners may use the passenger elevators to
support their work, however, elevator pads and flooring protection
must be used to prevent damage and owners will be held responsible
for damage done to the common area by their contractors. We suggest
that if you plan on using a moving company that you select a company
that has experience with condominium high rises and is familiar with
The Grande South and our policies.
MOVE-IN
REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST
Residents must coordinate their schedules and reserve an elevator with
the Associate Manager
at
lease two weeks in advance. A Change of Occupancy fee of $500 is
also required at the time of move-in. Please make your check
payable to “The Grande South HOA". Any arrangements between Owners and tenants will
need to be made prior to move in. Management can not charge tenants
this fee. Any arrangements regarding the payment of the fee must be
discussed between Management and or the Board with the Homeowner.
Please note that this fee does not include damage done during a move
in or out. Though a deposit is no longer required, a “pre” and
“post” move inspection of the area to be traveled during the move
will be preformed by security. In the event damage occurs, all
parties will be notified and called to a hearing before the Board.
1.
Prior to any move or delivery, residents shall provide management
with a certificate of insurance for worker’s comp and liability
insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 for the moving company,
naming The Grande South HOA and The Prescott Companies as additional
insured.
2.
Under no circumstances may furniture or other belongings be dragged
across the flooring. Dollies or a hand truck must be used at all
times. Grande South equipment (dollies, hand truck, vacuums, etc.)
are not available for resident moves.
3.
The building’s trash dumpster located in P1 level parking garage may
be used for disposing of moving boxes. Residents must break moving
boxes down before placing boxes in the dumpster.
4.
Regular moving hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30
PM.
5.
All personnel involved in a move or delivery will be required to
sign in and out of the premises with the management staff.
6.
The resident is responsible for all costs for repairs necessitated
by the move.
7.
In the event that you find it necessary to move or have any items
delivered that require two or more persons to transport, all Moving
and Furniture Move guidelines are required.
8.
Residents who wish to move or deliver their own furniture may do so
providing they meet all the requirements of moving companies,
including insurance certificates.
9.
Be familiar with the reserved loading/unloading area in the street
so you can give clear directions to drivers.
10.
All floor areas are to be protected along the entire moving path
with carpet runners, or similar protection, from the building entry
to the unit. Protective coverings must be removed and the floor
cleaned by the end of your scheduled move-in/out time. If your
mover/delivery people do not have acceptable floor protection, the
association will provide the proper material, if available, and
charge the unit owner accordingly. If the proper material is not
available, the delivery must be rescheduled.
11.
All trash and debris must be carried off-site on a daily basis by
the resident or moving company. The building’s trash dumpsters may
not be used for disposing of debris. There is a possibility that
residents may make arrangements for an extra trash bin to support
their move at the resident’s expense. Please contact the
Associate
Manager for further details.
12.
There will be no move-in/out through the main lobby entrance.
13.
All residents will use the padded elevator for move-in purposes.
Furniture will be carried through the service corridor to the
elevator and up to their unit.
Water Detection System
The Grande South HOA is proud to offer each resident an in home
water detection service. Inside your unit you will find six or
seven water detectors, depending on your floor plan, and one base
station. The detectors are strategically located around all obvious
water sources inside your unit. This special system was voted in by
the homeowners in 2007. Your Association’s Governing Documents were
amended to include the purchase, instillation, and maintenance of
the system. You will need to have the system reprogrammed
immediately upon move in. You must contact Pete Thistle at
619-857-2289. Pete will answer any questions and set up a
time to reprogram your system. It is important to understand the
system and the procedures set in place by the Association. These
procedures have been adopted to insure that the system is operating
at a peak level. Any and all questions may be addressed by Mr.
Thistle or management.

How to Get the Right Insurance for Your Residential Move
Whether you hire a mover or move it yourself, it is impossible to
guarantee that all of your property will arrive at its final
destination in the same condition it started out. Damage to your
property can occur in transit (on the moving truck), in storage, and
when it is being carried in or out of the moving truck. Things can
be accidentally dropped, dented, or broken by moving men. Most
insurance coverage that can be obtained through a mover limits the
mover's liability and will not completely cover the value of your
property if lost or damaged. It is extremely important to make
sure that your possessions are adequately insured before you move.
When Selecting a Moving Company,
thoroughly review the moving company's terms for insurance coverage.
-
Determine the extent of liability coverage for property loss or
damage your mover will provide.
-
Closely examine the contract and find a section for you to
establish the estimated value of your possessions.
-
Determine the maximum liability dollar value of the insurance
provided by the mover and the process involved in case you need
to place a claim. However, this does not guarantee that in case
of a claim you are entitled to the maximum liability damage
coverage. Factors such as government regulations, taxes, and
laws limit the actual the amount you may be entitled to in case
of a claim.
-
Realize that the insurance provided by most moving companies
only covers a portion of the total value of your possessions and
you will have to get additional insurance to be fully covered.
Insurance Available through Your Mover
Insurance available through your mover is based on valuation.
Basically, valuation is the method of determining liability - by you
and your mover. There are three types of valuation:
-
Declared value:
The value of the things you move is based on the total weight of
the shipment multiplied by a specific amount per pound (example;
$1.25 per pound). For instance, if your possessions weigh 10,000
pounds the mover would be liable for up to $12,500. Claim
settlement is then based on the depreciated value of the item(s)
damaged.
-
Lump sum value:
If you need insurance that is based more on value than on weight
you can get insurance for a specific amount (the amount is
variable dependant on the insurance provider) per $1,000 of
value. You must know the value of what you are shipping and make
a declaration in writing on the bill of lading.
-
Full value protection:
This type of coverage includes lost, damaged, and destroyed
property. The coverage will pay for the repair or replacement of
the item(s). Usually there is a minimum coverage amount and
applicable deductibles.
Calculate the amount of insurance you require
Calculating the amount of insurance you require begins with taking
into consideration the total weight of what you are moving, the
number of rooms you are moving, and the contents of your move.
Create an inventory of all the items you are moving
-
What you are moving (sofa, dining room set, refrigerator, etc.).
-
The weight of each item you are moving (estimate the weight).
-
The replacement value of each article you are moving.
Make sure to have totals that summarize your inventory
-
Total number of items you are moving.
-
Total weight of the items.
-
Establish the total replacement value of all your property.
(Take pictures of what you are moving. This is important in
establishing the condition of your possessions and it helps in
confirming the inventory list.)
Homeowners Insurance as a Supplement
Most homeowner insurance policies cover about 10 percent of the
value of your personal property; including coverage for breakage and
theft in transit, minus the usual deductible. This can be a good
supplement to the insurance provided by the mover.
Transit Insurance as a Supplement
Transit insurance is another good supplement to the insurance
provided by your mover. Read the policy and make sure it covers the
gaps in insurance left by other policies. This coverage can save you
thousands of dollars and is usually available through the mover, a
move-it-your-self company, or through your homeowner's insurance
company.
Some Additional Helpful Tips
-
If you are moving fine art, valuable musical instruments or
antiques, you should consider special measures to ensure their
safety and protect against their loss or damage. If these items
are not covered while in transit by your home policy, you would
be advised to purchase additional coverage. Speak to your mover
or homeowner insurance representative.
-
In the event that something should happen to your belongings and
you have to file a moving claim, you must do so within (9)
months of the event. You should also note the problem on the
moving van driver's copy of the bill of lading before signing
it. Your mover will then have 30 days to acknowledge receipt of
your claim. Within 120 days of receiving your claim, the mover
must either deny the claim or make an offer to pay.
