When you’re getting ready to move, don’t forget to change your forwarding address. Don’t do this too soon before you move, or you’ll wind up missing packages, but don’t forget! Switching your forwarding address is very simple. Just go to usps.com and follow the appropriate instructions.
Starting your Utilities
Call your landlord or management company to find out what’s already turned on. Usually, if a utility is covered by the lease, you won’t have to worry about it. However, if it’s not, then you’ll need to make a few phone calls. Be sure to have your new address handy when you call.

Automatic Bill Pay
With both LADWP and the SoCal Gas Co., you can set up automatic bill pay online, so you don’t have to even think about it. Be careful, though. Activating the auto-pay service can be a little tricky, particularly with LADWP. Be sure to confirm that you’ve actually gotten the service set up by calling them. I received a couple of menacing, red late notices and threats that my electricity would be shut down before I finally got it right.
