I'm definitely going to use the well, thanks @KyreRoen , these are so creative!
I finally worked out a way to get my apartment dwellers to move house from one apartment to the other in a way that makes sense to me. In case anyone else would find it helpful here it is:
Put all the belongings they would realistically bring into household inventory. (furniture, decor, electronics, collectibles, plants in pots)
Leave in place the things that they wouldn't realistically bring. (plumbing, counters and cabinets, appliances, plants in large planters or the ground)

Then go to Manage Households and move them into their new home from there. Everything they packed in their household inventory will move with them, but not the counters and plumbing!
And then when a new family moves into the vacated house/apartment, they can buy it "furnished" at an affordable price, and it will have counters and plumbing already there, you know, like a normal house/apartment would.
