- MOVING AGREEMENT: The Resident shall reserve the service elevator at least two days prior to the specified moving date and time, as confirmed by the Manager, provided that the service elevator shall be made available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Manager or Superintendent shall be entitled to use his/her discretion to require Residents to use the designated service elevator to move small loads of one or more bulky items. Each new owner and tenant shall complete Schedules “A”, “C” & “D” attached prior to first moving into a unit and before using the moving elevator, as required by Rule D 05 hereof and when a tenant is intended to occupy a unit, the owner and tenant shall each comply with each of the rules pertaining to Tenants.
- BULKY ITEM: A bulky item shall consist of the following:

ii) any other kind of goods, materials, chattels, refuse or items of any nature or kind which exceed 1 metre (39 inches) in height, length or width, any item weighing in excess of 45 kilograms (100 pounds),
iii) any liquid, chemical, combustible, explosive, dangerous or hazardous product of any nature or kind provided that products normally designated for household use in small, sealed containers and quantities shall not constitute a bulky item.
A dolly (cart) available at the entrances to the indoor parking area for residents may be used to move household shopping items and luggage to and from the resident’s automobile to the resident’s suite without requiring use of the service elevator for such non-bulky items, subject to prompt return of the dolly to the indoor parking entrance area.

- SERVICE ELEVATOR: No person shall place any bulky item in any elevator other than a designated service elevator. Prior to transportation of any bulky item from the move-in room, approved elevator pads must be properly installed in the service elevator. All bulky items shall be transported only in accordance with provisions set out in these Rules applicable to moving and the service elevator. All bulky items must be transported only through a designated loading area, move-in room and service elevator. No bulky item shall be transported through the main lobby of the Corporation.

All empty boxes, moving cartons and debris shall be dismantled and removed immediately from the common elements.

- CLEANING/DAMAGE LIABILITY: Where damage to the loading area, moving room, service elevator, hallways, doorways or any other part of the common elements or assets of the Corporation or any part of the common elements has been caused by the moving of any item into or out of a unit, the party responsible for such damage, the applicable Resident and the owner of the unit shall be jointly and severally liable to the Corporation for the cost of any required cleaning, litter removal, maintenance and repairs.
