TENANTS - Tips When Moving:

Here are a few tips when moving home just to make sure you cover all your bases.

• Packing: Try using butchers paper instead of newspaper. This will minimise the cleaning when you unpack
• Label all your boxes
• Books: Be mindful that when packed are very heavy so use the smaller boxes and fill them about half way. Place some lighter object on the top.
• Packing Tape: Make sure you have plenty
• Don’t pack the yellow pages. There’s bound to be another copy in your new home
• Plants: When transporting plants be careful the leaves don’t burn in the wind when they are on the trailer. They should go on the truck to make sure they are not damaged
• Furniture Removalist: Ring around to get a few quotes. The difference may surprise you but make sure you ask for their insurance details
• People Power: If you have plenty of helpers hiring a truck will get the job done cheaper
• Cleaner: The last thing you need to worry about when moving is cleaning the house you’re moving out of. Hire a reputable cleaner and you won’t need to worry about the bond refund/purchasers
• Lawns: Arrange a lawn maintenance service to ensure the house looks great when you hand it over
• Bins: Make sure they are empty and clean. You don't want to clean out anyone else's bin so best not to leave your's for them.
