It’s typical to see moving trucks winding through streets and alleys of
Chicago on the first day of any month. The act of moving hardly sounds like a
luxury, but as we heard in the last episode, it could be worse. About a century ago,
Chicagoans only moved on May 1 and sometimes Oct. 1. That meant thousands of moving
wagons clogging the streets, price gouging and exploitation.
Today, people move any time of the year and there are more protections for tenants.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t use some advice to make moving and renting in Chicago
easier. Host Erin Allen talks with local U-Haul representative Constance Turner
about best practices when it comes to packing up and moving in. Then, she sits down
with Sam Barth, staff attorney with Law Center for Better Housing, to talk about
what renters can do to protect themselves.
