Most moving stress comes from things remembered too late.
A month out
- Give written notice to your landlord as the lease requires.
- Book movers or a truck.
- Start using up food and donating what you do not need.
Two weeks out
- Schedule utilities to stop and start.
- Change your address with the post office, banks and employer.
- Arrange school records for the kids.
Move week
- Clean and photograph the old place, and return keys.
- Give your forwarding address in writing for the deposit.
- Do a move-in walkthrough with photos at the new place.
