In this case, you find a place to stay can be trickier than you think. However, you may have some options. First on the list are friends and family. This could be the perfect time for bonding but also a nightmare! Everybody has different schedules. You're all over each other and it can cause a lot of stress and disagreements.

Usually, you can find motels that have discounts for stays longer than a week. Moreover, short-term rentals can be a good option. Try to find one that has all the necessities that you need until you can complete your move.

What to do if you have pets?

The delay is affecting everyone, even your pets. Some places do not allow you to bring your furry friend with you. Therefore you will need to bring them to a kennel. Kennels can be costly especially if you are leaving your pet there for a longer period of time. This is why you should have a plan beforehand in case something like this happens.

Storage costs are one of the risks of delaying your Texas move

Once you find a place to stay you have to take care of your stuff. If you can’t bring them to your temporary location you will need to rent storage. Contact your professional movers San Antonio, and get them to bring your boxes to their storage units until the delay is resolved. Storage units are a perfect way to keep your belongings in a safe place. However, this is causing you to have additional expenses.

Finding a place to stay in between moves is harder than it seems.
After you spent all this time packing your belongings unpacking them is the last thing that you want to do. Whether your move is delayed for a few days or a few weeks you will need some stuff for your everyday life. Pull out everything you need from your boxes before putting them in the storage.

  • bedding
  • first aid kit
  • pajamas
  • personal hygiene
  • your kids’ favorite toys
