5 Moving Tips for Renters
1. Create a binder to use while you are prepping and executing your move.
It will help to keep any reservations, confirmation codes, and budgets clear and accessible when you need them. Nothing is worse than when you are moving and you can’t find that one paper that has the information for your new cable set up in your new home. Keep it all in one place and you can file it all away once you are settled in your new spot.

2. When packing your belongings, make sure to purge unused items that are taking up space.
Declutter. Nothing is more infuriating that when you move things that easily could have been thrown away for donated to a local thrift store. “Why did they make it to your next place?” you ask yourself. Because you are unorganized. Simple. As. That.

3. Try to use plastic containers that you can stack and reuse for your next move.

4. Rent your furniture to save costs on moving and decorating your home.
