Shared accommodation moving in Montreal
Montreal is a city of roommates. Students near McGill, Concordia, UdeM and UQAM, young professionals on the Plateau and in Rosemont, and newcomers across the island share apartments to keep rent affordable. When roommates move, the move is rarely simple. One person may be leaving while the others stay. Several people may be leaving at once, each going to a different address. Or a group of friends may be combining their belongings into one new apartment.
Déménagement NST Moving & Storage handles shared accommodation moves across Greater Montreal. We label belongings by person, plan the order of pickups and deliveries, move bedrooms without disturbing roommates who are staying and give you a single flat-fee price that you can split however you agree.
Common shared accommodation moves
One roommate moving out. You are leaving a shared apartment while the others stay. We move only your room and your share of the common items, quietly and quickly.
Everyone moving out. The lease is ending and each roommate is going somewhere different. We plan a route that collects and delivers each person’s belongings efficiently.
Moving in together. Friends or partners combining two or three apartments into one. We collect from several addresses and deliver to the new home.
Moving into a room. You are joining an existing shared apartment, with a bedroom set and a few boxes. See small moves.
Student residences and shared houses. Moves between residences, shared houses and apartments at the end of term. See student moving.
Planning a roommate move
- Agree on who owns what. Before moving day, list shared furniture and appliances and agree on who keeps each item.
- Label by person. Use coloured tape or labels with each person’s name on boxes and furniture.
- Share addresses. Tell your coordinator every pickup and delivery address and the order you prefer.
- Check both buildings. Elevators, parking and moving hours at each address.
- Split the cost. We give one flat-fee price that roommates can divide, or separate prices for separate moves.
Moving one bedroom without disrupting roommates
When you are the only one leaving, respect for the people staying matters. Our crew protects common areas, works efficiently and does not move shared items unless you have agreed they are yours. We take care in hallways and stairways, avoid blocking the entrance and leave the apartment clean.
Dividing shared items
Shared items cause the most disagreements: the sofa bought together, the TV, kitchen appliances, dishes and the dining table. Agree in writing before moving day, and label everything clearly. If no one wants an item, consider selling it and splitting the money, or ask us to remove it with our junk removal service.
July 1 and lease transfers
Many shared leases in Montreal end on June 30, and roommates often move on or around July 1. Book early, because crews and trucks are in high demand. If one roommate is taking over the lease or transferring it, confirm dates with the landlord so everyone knows who leaves when.

Moving in with a partner
Moving in together is exciting, but combining two households means two sofas, two beds, two sets of dishes and decisions about what stays. Before the move, walk through both apartments and agree on which furniture goes to the new home, what goes to storage, what is sold and what is donated. Measure the new apartment so you know which pieces fit. On moving day, we collect from both addresses and deliver to the new home, placing furniture where you have agreed. Items that are not needed can go straight to storage or be removed.
Moving out of a shared house
Shared houses, common in some neighbourhoods and near campuses, often have more rooms, a shared basement and more accumulated belongings than an apartment. When a house lease ends, it is common for several people to move on the same day, each to a different place. Planning is essential: agree on the order of moves, label everything by person and decide who is responsible for shared areas such as the kitchen, basement and yard. Our coordinator can schedule several crews or a single crew with a planned route, depending on volume.
Security deposits and condition reports
When leaving a shared apartment, protect your share of the deposit. Before you move, document the condition of your room and the common areas with photos. After your belongings are out, clean your room, patch small nail holes if your lease allows it and return keys as agreed. Our crew protects floors, doors and walls during the move, which helps avoid damage that could be deducted from the deposit.
Newcomers and international students
Many newcomers to Montreal start in shared accommodation before finding their own apartment. Their first move is often small but important: a few suitcases, a bed and some furniture bought locally. We help newcomers and international students move between shared apartments, residences and first homes, with clear pricing and friendly crews who can explain how moving works in Montreal, including the July 1 tradition and parking rules.
Furniture that fits shared spaces
Shared apartments often have smaller bedrooms and narrow stairs. If you are buying furniture for a room in a shared apartment, measure doorways and stairways first. Choose beds and desks that disassemble easily, and avoid oversized pieces that may not fit in your next home. When you move again, these choices make the move faster and cheaper.
Moving into student and shared housing near campuses
Montreal’s universities and CEGEPs create a large shared-housing market in neighbourhoods such as Côte-des-Neiges, the Milton-Parc area, the Plateau, Mile End and around downtown. Moves in these areas are often to walk-up apartments with narrow stairs, limited parking and busy streets. Our crews know these neighbourhoods well, plan truck placement in advance and carry furniture safely up tight staircases. If you are moving at the end of a term or around July 1, book early to secure your date.
A fair way to split moving costs
When several roommates share one move, splitting the cost fairly avoids arguments. Some groups divide the price equally, while others split it by the size of each person’s belongings or by the distance to each new address. Before moving day, agree on the method and let your coordinator know whether you need one price for the whole group or separate prices for each person. Either way, the flat fee is agreed in advance, so nobody is surprised.
Getting your share of the deposit back
Before handing in your keys, clean your room thoroughly, remove all belongings and return any shared items you borrowed. Agree with your roommates on who cleans the kitchen, bathroom and common areas. A clean, empty room and a few photos protect your share of the deposit.
