7 Helpful Tips for Moving Out of a Rental Property

Contemplating moving out of your rental? Then you’ll need to do some planning to ensure you conduct the process properly, get your full deposit back, and execute a successful move.

1. Review Your Lease

  • The length of your lease term
  • How much notice you’re required to give your landlord prior to your move date
  • Your renter responsibilities during move out
  • Maintenance obligations
  • Any special terms or provisions

2. Give Your Landlord Plenty of Notice

Most rental agreements require a written move-out notice.

3. Start Planning Your Move

  • Determine your moving budget
  • Find a reputable moving company
  • Sort your belongings
  • Donate or sell unneeded items
  • Purchase packing supplies
  • Organize your things by room

4. Take Care of any At-Fault Damages

Most rental agreements stipulate that tenants are responsible for repairing damages.

5. Clean the Rental Thoroughly

If you fail to clean the property thoroughly, the cost for professional cleaning services will come out of your deposit.

6. Pack Your Belongings

If you’re planning to hire professional movers and packers, you can skip this step.

7. Schedule an Inspection of the Rental
