PHOENIX, Oct. 27,
2023 U-Haul®, the industry leader in DIY moving and
self-storage, today announced an exclusive partnership with
resident technology company Moved™.
The agreement includes exclusive rights for both U-Haul and
Moved's business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) software, which
streamlines the onboarding and offboarding process for tenants of
multifamily communities.
It's a first-of-its-kind commercial agreement for U-Haul, which
has been providing movers with affordable mobility solutions since
1945. This also marks the first outside investment of U-Haul in a
software firm.
The U-Haul Tenant Moving Services division is an ideal partner
for Moved, which addresses the need of multifamily housing
owner-operators to offer tenants an easy and efficient "one-stop
shop" for move-in and move-out services.

"Renters have been turning to U-Haul for 78 years, and we've
been there with the expertise to help," stated John "JT" Taylor,
President of U-Haul International.
"This partnership is another way for us to reach renters and
make their moving experience better. It puts the world's largest
DIY moving fleet at their fingertips, as well as U-Haul
self-storage, U-Box portable moving containers, moving supplies,
and localized access to 7,000 Moving Help Service
Providers® and 23,000 U-Haul rental locations. Putting
customers first is what U-Haul is about. Moved is another way to
help us achieve that."
Renters move every two years on average. As the multifamily
housing landscape continues to change, owner-operators face
challenges like increasing costs, lower occupancy rates and
evolving resident expectations.
When residents move in (or out) of apartments, they anticipate a
smooth and user-friendly experience. Moved and U-Haul help
alleviate stress and improve tenant satisfaction while providing
the most cost-effective solutions.
Moved streamlines administrative tasks for management companies,
reduces inefficiencies and, most importantly, provides a better
moving experience for tenants.
"Moved is on a mission to eliminate stress from moving – for
multifamily owners and operators, as well as their residents,"
stated Adam Pittenger, CEO of Moved.
"Partnering with an iconic brand like U-Haul marks a significant
milestone in our journey to achieving that goal and delivering a
world-class moving experience."
