Home > Residents > Tenants Handbook > 2 - Your Tenancy > Moving in

You have just become the tenant of your new Hexagon home, and we hope you are looking forward to moving in, but we know you are going to be very busy! There are a thousand and one things to do and people to contact when you move home, and it can be difficult to remember them all. We have prepared this checklist which we hope will help you to remember the most important people you need to contact about your move. There are too many different companies and organisations for us to be able to list all the telephone numbers and addresses here, but let us know if you are having any particular problems and we will do what we can to help.
