Moving in means starting to live in a new home.
The idea
Use move in alone, move into before a home, or move in with before people. These are neutral everyday expressions. In this sense, no noun or pronoun object separates the words.
Examples
- We move in next week.
- They moved into a small flat.
- My sister is moving in today.
- The new neighbours moved in on Monday.
- When can you move into the house?
- We moved in with our friends in April.

Do not say move in the flat to mean starting to live there: say move into the flat.
