I'm currently living in Philly but moving a few blocks down. I'm trying to think through the moving permit situation, as I'll need to load up a u-haul and leave it around overnight.

Do I just apply for two separate permits? One for my current address and move out day and that night and another for my move in day at the new place?

Now I feel foolish as the answer seems pretty obvious as I type this...

We had a permit for moving in, but then our movers pushed off delivery a day. Turns out what we really needed/used was friendly neighbors. If you are on good terms with your neighbors, see if they can help you out by moving their cars as needed.

Part of the reason we’re moving is because of the neighbors and the landlord’s refusal to enforce the terms of the lease. I’m also isolated and weird.

Though I’m also reminded that we didn’t bother with any of this permit stuff when we moved in and got settled without issue. But a slightly shorter walk is what we’re hoping for.

Also, sort of astounded that movers would push off delivery. The implications of that. Madness

Wow I didn't know you needed a permit to move. I have moved two times within the city. Just loaded up a U-Haul and moved

You don’t need one. Just that space for parking can get tight. So not really a moving permit. More like a parking permit to reserve a space.
