Asking the best time / day to do something

Hello and thank you for your help,

I'm writing an email to my landlord and I would like to ask him about the best time for us to move to the new place so we don't affect his schedule. Just wondering if this sentence is correct or if there are other better ways to say the same in a very formal way.

"We were wondering if next Monday is a convenient day for you to us to move."

Thanks

" It's understood that you are asking about the landlord's convenience, there's no need to tie yourself in knots attempting to include an explicit reference to the landlord in your question. In fact, doing so makes the question virtually impossible to understand and very unnatural. Not to mention that you got it wrong anyway.

Just say this:

"We were wondering if next Monday is a convenient day for you to us to move."

Hi,

I think you can also say,

We were wondering if it will be convienient for you if we move next monday.

But MalRey's sentence is better.
