moved in

Started living there

Moved in means to establish residence in a new place: We moved in last Tuesday.

It often implies bringing belongings and settling: She moved in with her boyfriend.

More figuratively, to move in is to approach aggressively or take decisive action: Police moved in on the suspects.

When someone moves in on territory or a romantic interest, they're encroaching on what another considers theirs.
