If you’re moving out and have been given notice, the best thing to do it make a list and tape it to your fridge. The list should include all the tasks you have to do, such as paying the bills, fixing any issues, getting your affairs in order. Make sure essentials such as the water supply and your heater and A.C bills are paid. Then use the same list to cross out tasks that are done and replace them with those that are of a lower priority.

  1. Clean-up

The first things you should start to pack are items that you don’t use very often and can go a week or 2 without using. Take down the pictures from the walls, fill in any nail holes, and repaint the place if necessary or possible. Additionally, check that the windows, fans, A.C. vents, and ceilings are free of cobwebs. Always start at the top (ceiling) and work your way down to make sure there is no dust accumulation so you can sweep it all away easily. Keep an eye out for any sign of pests, and if needed, contact a reliable company like PA pest control aptive or a similar option more local to you as part of your moving-out preparations.

Move to your bedroom last, because that’s the place you most frequently visit in your own home, and it has the most personal belongings as well.
