Essential Moving Checklist Tips

Here are a few expert tips to help guide your planning process:

• Start early and plan ahead. Notify your landlord or property manager in writing if you’re renting.
• Gather all necessary supplies like boxes, tape, and markers before packing begins.
• Label every box with the room it belongs to and a brief description of the contents.
• Color-code fragile items and use bubble wrap or newspaper for extra protection.
• Pack an essentials bag with clothes, toiletries, and items you’ll need during the first few days in your new home.
• Create a “move-day” list with important documents like your passport, driver’s license, and medications.
• Empty and clean your fridge and freezer before the move to avoid messes.
• Disconnect utilities such as electricity, water, and gas before leaving your residence.
• Donate or sell items you don’t need to reduce what you have to move.

To make sure you won’t skip a step, find the checklist and use it.
