123 Moving Checklist
The first step to take when planning a move is to compile a thorough checklist of things to do and think about, as you get closer to your move day. This is an important means through which to keep a sense of perspective on the tasks that lie ahead and prioritize so that it’s a well-organized and efficient process.
4 Weeks before the Move
-
Settle any outstanding bills.
-
Create an inventory list of items you want to move. Separate moving items into categories, such as "moving", "storage" "disposal", "giveaway", and "garage sale".
-
Back up your computer hard drive. Ensure that both the printer and scanner are able to be packed securely for travel.
-
Formally notify your landlord of the date you’re vacating the premises.
-
Arrange for a property inspection to recoup the bond.
-
Arrange for professional cleaners / carpet cleaners if required.
3 Weeks before the Move
-
Begin packing items that are rarely used, such as those stored in your basement, garage or attic.
-
For unwanted items, consider a charity or a garage sale.
-
Arrange rubbish removal if needed.

Disassemble any built-in fixtures and fittings ready for transport.

Disassemble outdoor items, such as a swing set and cubby house. Place all bolts, brackets and screws in a labelled, sealed container for safekeeping.
