Usage Note

Déménager specifically means to move one's home or belongings out of a place; the corresponding verb for moving into a new place is emménager. A removal company is a société de déménagement. The informal phrase il déménage can also mean someone is acting crazy or talking nonsense — a register shift worth knowing.
