Planning a Apartment Leasing Office Move

On a First Coast apartment community the leasing office and the model unit usually move for the same reason: the management company wants tours to start somewhere better. A clubhouse renovation sends the leasing team into a temporary unit, or a ground-floor apartment near the pool becomes the new model while the old one goes back on the rent roll. Either way, the move has to fit between two schedules you already keep, the make-ready board and the tour calendar.

We treat the two halves differently. The model is a finished apartment that prospects will walk through within days, so its sofa, dining set, bedroom furniture, lamps, and accessories come out room by room and go back in to the staging plan without scuffing fresh paint. The leasing office is a working counter: the welcome desk, the agents’ stations, the brochure wall, and the cabinets behind them. Your team keeps the key cabinet, fobs, applications, and resident files under its own control from start to finish.

Who usually signs off
Property manager or regional manager who approves the turnover calendar, model layout, and leasing-office closure window
Timing that works
Between model release and the next tour, or during an approved office closure; late-summer storms call for a backup date

What typically moves

  • Model living and dining furniture Sofa, accent chairs, dining table, and décor come out tagged by room, so the new model gets staged once instead of rearranged twice.
  • Model bedroom sets Bed frames and headboards come apart at their bolts; mattresses travel bagged, and nightstands and lamps ride with their own room tag.
  • Staging accessories and wall art Pillows, rugs, towels, and tabletop pieces are boxed by room; maintenance takes art and mirrors off the wall before we wrap them.
  • Welcome desk and leasing agent stations Freestanding desk sections are padded at the edges, and each agent’s computer and screens are unplugged, tagged to that station, and plugged back in at the new one.
  • Clubhouse lounge and coffee-bar seating Lounge chairs, bar stools, and café tables from a clubhouse refresh, grouped by zone for the new layout.
  • Marketing and move-in supply cabinets Gift bags, sign stands, and printed floor plans boxed by cabinet, packed close to move day so summer humidity doesn’t soften the cartons.

Access and scheduling

The make-ready board sets the model date. The new model apartment has to be painted, cleaned, and punched out by maintenance before a single piece goes in, and the old model has to be empty before it can be turned and rented. We book the carry between the final clean and the first tour.

Inside the community the route is the plan: the gate code or call box, the breezeway or elevator to the unit, where the box truck can park clear of resident spaces or the trash compactor, and which hours the community treats as quiet. Garden-style buildings often mean a second- or third-floor carry up an open stairway, which we walk ahead of time. Evening or weekend work can be booked when daytime tours make the office impossible to clear, and if the property asks for insurance paperwork we issue a certificate listing the owner or management company.

Protection and handling

Model apartments are finished to show, so we protect them like a delivery, not a clear-out. We lay floor runners through the entry and into every room, stair rails and breezeway corners get padding, and upholstered pieces travel in covers so they arrive free of truck dust. Case goods are blanket-wrapped and stood upright rather than stacked on a sofa. We place furniture to your staging sketch and leave accessories boxed by room for your stylist.

At the leasing office, anything a walk-in touches on the last afternoon stays until the doors lock. Brochures and printed floor plans are boxed indoors, because an open Florida breezeway curls paper and peels labels quickly. Anything carrying a resident’s name stays with your staff.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Keys, fobs, and the access-control system
Your staff keep the key cabinet and fob programming in hand; the access-control vendor moves or reprograms card readers and the call box.
Package lockers and mounted signage
The locker vendor or your maintenance team unbolts and resets lockers and wall signs; we move freestanding pieces only.
Phones, internet, and property-management software
Your IT provider or the management company’s help desk moves service and logs agents in at their new desks.

Not part of our work

  • Holding keys, fobs, applications, or resident files; your leasing staff carry those.
  • Deciding when a unit is rent-ready or signing off on paint, maintenance, or cleaning.
  • Unbolting package lockers, wall-mounted TVs, or hardwired light fixtures.

Around St. Johns County and Jacksonville

Newer garden-style and mid-rise communities line Nocatee Pkwy, CR 210, and the streets around St. Johns Town Center and Baymeadows Rd, often with the leasing office inside a clubhouse beside the pool. Summer tends to be the busiest leasing stretch, and it overlaps hurricane season from June through November, so a model reset planned for August or September gets a second date pencilled in.

Apartment Leasing Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (904) 209-9277.

Can the old model become a rentable unit the same week we set up the new one?

Usually, if the new model is ready first. We empty the old model onto the truck, run it straight across to the new unit and set it out by your plan, so the old apartment is free for your make-ready crew that afternoon. If the new unit isn’t punched out yet, pick a spot on the property, such as the clubhouse, where pieces can wait.

Our leasing office is moving into a temporary unit during a clubhouse renovation. What moves first?

The pieces a prospect sees. We set the welcome desk, a seating group, and the brochure display in the temporary unit first, then bring the agents’ desks and cabinets. When the clubhouse reopens, the same labels bring everything back to its original spot.

Who handles the key cabinet and fob system during the move?

Your staff do. Keys, fobs, and anything that opens a resident’s door travel with a manager, not on our truck. If the fob readers, the call box, or a key-management cabinet has to be unbolted or reprogrammed, that belongs to your access-control vendor. We move the office furniture around those items and leave the vendor room to work.

The new model is on the third floor with only a stairway. Does that rule anything out?

Rarely. We walk the stairs beforehand, measure the landing turns against the sofa and headboard, and bring pieces that come apart, such as bed frames and dining tables, up in sections. If something won’t make a turn, we tell you before move day so your staging team can swap it for a piece that fits.
