Pack a Bag for Moving Day<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you plan your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apartment moving<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to perfection, the day will still be chaotic and stressful. Most of your items will be packed away, and you might not know exactly where they are in your new home. In a worst-case scenario, a moving truck may be delayed or take multiple days to arrive at your new digs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why at the top of our<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> apartment moving-out checklist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we recommend packing yourself (and each family member) a personal bag for moving day. Keep this bag with you during moving day, and ensure it\u2019s in your vehicle \u2013 not the moving truck \u2013 when leaving for your new place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should go in your bag? Here\u2019s what we recommend:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personal care items like your toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and shower essentials<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change of clothes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important documents, like your ID, lease papers, and moving contracts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electronics, like your phone and laptop and their chargers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snacks and water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bedding, like sheets, pillowcases, and a light blanket for your first night<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First aid kit<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential tools, like scissors, box cutters, and screwdrivers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cash for any unexpected expenses, tips for movers, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Search for Free Moving Boxes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of moving boxes can add up over time, especially if you have a large apartment to pack or are spending a lot of money on hiring a moving team. The good news is that with a little effort and patience, you can often snag low-cost or free moving boxes instead of buying them at the store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many businesses toss out unused boxes and are happy to give them away. Likewise, fellow movers often don\u2019t have a use for their boxes after they unpack and appreciate the opportunity to give them away rather than send them to the landfill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few ways to search for free or low-cost moving boxes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask friends, family members, and neighbors if they have extra moving boxes they don\u2019t need.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach out to your local grocery store and liquor store to see if they have free boxes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check online marketplaces like Offerup, Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist for free or cheap boxes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post on your socials asking if anyone in your network has recently moved and has leftover boxes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Begin Packing Items You Rarely Use<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, you\u2019ll need to wait until the last minute to pack up the items you use every day, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t get a head start on packing. There are probably plenty of things around your apartment that you only use occasionally. By packing less-used items early, you can take some pressure off yourself as the big day grows nearer and you need to pack up the rest of your things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure what to pack in advance? Take an inventory of your apartment and decide on each item. Some suggestions include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out-of-season clothing and shoes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extra bedding and linens<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Games, puzzles, and books you\u2019re not currently using<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holiday decorations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out-of-season sports equipment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">China and special occasion dishware<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collectibles and knick-knacks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Craft items you aren\u2019t currently using<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Use Color-Coded Labels for Each Room in Your New Home<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to focus on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moving out of your apartment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but don\u2019t forget that you\u2019re also moving into a new place. While you want to make your move-out process smooth, you also want to set yourself up for success in your new home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the time to consider where different items will go in your next apartment or home. This will help you pack similar items together and get your boxes to the correct room when they arrive. Moving your boxes to the right place will save you loads of time unpacking and help you find the things you need more quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We suggest buying a pack of colored stickers or labels and labeling every item based on the room in which they will be used in your new home. If \u201cred\u201d equals living room, you can quickly gather all your red-labeled items, pack them together, and clearly label the box for the living room.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Mark the Top and Two Sides of Boxes with Labels<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your move is just a day or two away, and it\u2019s time to pack everything left in your apartment. It\u2019s a big job, and time is running low. You might be tempted to simply label your box on the top or a single side. That should be enough, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nope. Take the extra few seconds to label your box on the top and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at least <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">two sides. When we say \u201clabel,\u201d we mean writing the room the box should go to and a short description of its contents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll be glad you did. A single label may not be visible when your boxes are stacked in a moving truck. That could lead your friends, family, or movers to put your box in the wrong room. Even if they get it right, your boxes may be stacked in a way that makes the label invisible. If you\u2019re looking for your dinner plates, your comforter, or your kid\u2019s favorite toy, you may not be able to find the box quickly. Taking a little extra time to label your boxes thoroughly is worth the effort.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Consider Where You&#8217;ll Keep Your Stuff<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re moving to a new apartment, you may run into a common problem that many others deal with\u2014they need a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/locations\/\">temporary storage solution<\/a><\/strong> for when they\u2019re in between each apartment or need extra space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have family or friends in the area, you may be able to use their extra guest room, garage, or attic space for free (or maybe a round of pizza on you).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Otherwise, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/self-storage\/\">self-storage<\/a><\/strong> provides an affordable and convenient solution for people <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moving out of an apartment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the Right Storage Unit<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you find the best storage space for you? Be sure to consider the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The unit size <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Storage units can range from<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/self-storage\/size-guide\/5x5-storage-unit\/\"> 5\u00d75<\/a><\/strong> to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/self-storage\/size-guide\/10x30-storage-unit\/\">10\u00d730<\/a><\/strong>. The smallest unit can hold a closet, whereas the larger unit can store the contents of an entire house. If you\u2019re moving out of a two-bedroom apartment, a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/self-storage\/size-guide\/10x10-storage-unit\/\">10\u00d710 unit<\/a><\/strong> may be perfect for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Indoor or outdoor units<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Depending on the facility, you\u2019ll likely have the option of keeping your items in an indoor or outdoor unit. Outdoor units provide easy, drive-up accessibility, whereas indoor units provide additional protection from the elements.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Additional unit features<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Do you want a temperature-controlled unit? How about built-in cameras? Select units can offer add-ons that can provide even more protection for your stuff.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Conveniences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 A top-of-the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">line facility can come with a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/features\/\">range of features<\/a><\/strong> that make it fast and easy to move your things in or out. You should look for a storage facility that comes with keypad<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">controlled access, free courtesy carts, and 24\/7 accessibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we mentioned above, take the time to consider your storage needs early on so that you can find the perfect facility and unit for your stuff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Pack Strategically<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to packing,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you have the funds<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ditch the cardboard box in favor of a clear plastic one! This makes them easy to stack and organize while allowing you to see what\u2019s in each box. Especially when it comes to storage, it\u2019s much more convenient when you can simply find the item you want to pull out without having to open up and search through every box.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you pack, consider creating an inventory. By keeping a list of what items you\u2019re storing and where they\u2019re being kept, you make it easy to store and unpack your things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For delicate items like artwork or electronics, be sure to back them carefully, using bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and fragile labels to help keep the items safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Hire Professional Movers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to avoid cajoling friends or family into helping you move your things? Want to skip all of the lifting, loading, and unloading? Then it may be the time to hire professional movers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving can be physically demanding. It also takes skills to properly pack a moving van or a storage unit.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> That\u2019s why we\u2019ve included this tip on our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apartment moving-out checklist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you have the means, hiring a moving team to pick up your items and then unload them in your new home or temporary storage unit is well worth the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional movers have the tools and experience necessary to ensure that your items are safe in transit and that the move is on time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. Document Your Move-Out and Move-In Conditions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to keep your security deposit? Then, documentation is paramount. Whether you\u2019re leaving an old apartment or entering a new one, it\u2019s critical that you take the time to document the condition of the place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A move-in or move-out inspection gives you the chance to survey the rooms and make note of any issues that preceded you. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take pictures of any damage in your new place and make sure you have visual evidence of any problems that were part of your old apartment before moving in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make this process even more effective, consider inviting your landlord or property manager to walk the apartment with you. That way all parties are aware of any issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Price Self Storage Can Help You<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting ready to move from one apartment to a new one?
