Yay! It is time to move from that small apartment to your new, much larger home! When moving from an apartment, planning ahead and staying organized is essential.

Start by creating a checklist of tasks to complete, including notifying your landlord, scheduling utility disconnections, and booking a moving company or renting a truck. Pack an overnight bag with essentials like clothing, toiletries, and medications, and label each room in your new space so you can easily unpack. Please don’t forget to take final meter readings and complete a walk-through inspection with your landlord to ensure you’re not charged for any damages or outstanding bills.

Packing Up Your Apartment to Move into Your New Home

To pack up your apartment for a move to a house, start by creating a plan and making a checklist of tasks to complete. Begin by sorting items into categories such as “keep,” “donate,” “sell,” and “throw-away” to help you decide what to do with each item. Next, gather packing supplies such as boxes, tape, and bubble wrap. Pack non-essential items first, such as seasonal decorations and off-season clothing, and save essential items like toiletries and medications for last. Label each box clearly with its contents and the room it belongs in, and consider color-coding boxes by room to make unpacking easier. Finally, take breaks and stay organized to avoid feeling overwhelmed by the packing process.
