From booking movers to reading the fine print on a new lease, it\u2019s an overwhelming process. The earlier you start your paperwork with your property manager, the better.\r\n\r\nBefore scheduling apartment tours, alert your landlord that you\u2019re vacating soon.

If your search takes a little longer, ask for an extension with plenty of time. Here\u2019s how you can get it done quickly.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div style=\"height:32px\"><\/div>\n        <div id=\"block_c44b255c2a0564c262ebd956beb3a0ca\"

class=\"rb-single-topic-carousel__description\">Gone are the days of paying your friends with pizza to help you move. Hiring professional movers can ease some of the stress of moving out, but start searching early. Look for moving companies that fit your circumstances, like a local move versus out-of-state. Once you have your move-out day finalized, start calling.\r\n\r\nKeep an eye out for demeanor and customer service, and ask if they are licensed and insured. Get a few estimates and then narrow it down to the winner.

your current apartment or how organized you are, there\u2019s going to be clutter. There\u2019s always a junk drawer or closet filled with things that haven\u2019t seen the light of day in months. Do you really need it? Getting rid of things, whether selling, donating or recycling, doesn\u2019t just need to happen if you\u2019re downsizing.\r\n\r\nIt can mean the difference between saving a few hundred dollars while moving or getting a bigger, more expensive apartment. Your city offers recycling and donation methods for mattresses and furniture in their last legs and there are plenty of apps for selling items in good condition. Here\u2019s what to consider.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div style=\"height:32px\"><\/div>\n        <div id=\"block_3e91437f1b64c5f2de67e7abdb4f9423\"
