How to make a good moving checklist in 5 steps:
1. Identify and sort boxes by room
The first tip is basic, but it is common for people not to pay attention to it. In your moving checklist, separate the items that will be packed in boxes by room, and identify that way (kitchen, bedroom, living room, bathroom, etc.).
Organize the boxes so that it stays in the kitchen, only the boxes with the kitchen items, in the rooms too, and in each room successively.
This separation will make sure that when you arrive with the boxes in the new property, you will know in which rooms they should be allocated. This prevents you from wasting time moving boxes internally and looking for the objects that make up a certain environment.
2. Measure the biggest furniture
Between one property and another, it is normal for there to be variation in size and angles between walls in rooms, which makes it essential to include the measurement of larger furniture in your moving checklist.
With this, whatever the size of your furniture, you will be sure that it fits or not in your new home or office and you will be able to plan, thus avoiding any discomfort.
For furniture with sentimental value, this moving checklist step is essential. That’s because, unlike larger furniture, smaller items can be easily accommodated in different spaces.
3. Notify someone about the mail
The world is more digital, but there are still public and private institutions that communicate through correspondence, so it is important to include notice about correspondence in a moving checklist.
So, even though you are living in a new place, there is no loss of communication with these institutions, because a neighbor or acquaintance will be able to keep them for you.
4. Do cleaning and repairs
When leaving a property, do the necessary cleaning and repairs, as determined in the lease agreement.
Hygiene is paramount, and repairs may involve painting in the original color, repairing in case of breakage or damage to floors and faucets, among other requirements.
This attitude will save you from the possibility of any kind of breach of contract, or worse, legal actions for breach of it.
5. Request power off
Finally, it is necessary to plan to request the shutdown of services that were used in the previously occupied property.
When this request is not made within the correct period, one of the problems generated may be the use of electricity and water supply by another tenant, while maintaining their service holder document.
So, this is one of the small bureaucracies that needs to be on your moving checklist list, to avoid any kind of inconvenience later.
