Movement uses sein in perfect ('ist eingezogen'), while transitive sense (collecting money) typically uses haben ('hat ... eingezogen'). Non-reflexive. Common in housing contexts.

Notes
Separable verb (einziehen -> ich ziehe ein). When meaning 'move in' it usually forms perfect with 'sein' (ist eingezogen). Note: Conjugation values do not include personal pronouns. The formal imperative (Sie) necessarily requires the pronoun 'Sie' in German, but pronouns are not allowed in these conjugation values, so the 'Sie' imperative is marked as 'not applicable'. Also: Konjunktiv I in the simple past (Präteritum) is not standard and has been marked as 'not applicable' where present.
