Tenants: how to move out safely

Let's face it, moving to a new home is a chore for most of us. Packing, finding help, loading and unloading... Moving house can be a big effort!
To help you organise your next move, here are some tips for tenants.

Plan of attack  

Step one: prepare your schedule about two weeks before your move.
For the administrative part, contact all your operators (Internet, telephone, TV, electricity, gas) and inform them of your upcoming change of address. If you are no longer contracted to certain providers, take advantage of this to use a offer comparator and choose a better one.
Secondly, tell your friends about your move as soon as possible to get as much help as possible when the day comes.
Then start packing everything you want to move, and organise your furniture for the move - this will give you an idea of your transport requirements.
Book a nice truck well in advance to ensure that there is availability for the day.

Of course you can also use a removal company. In this case, compare the offers beforehand on atHome.lu by asking free quotes from movers.

Stacked moving boxes

Everyone has their own theory about the best way to pack and move.
One solution is to move the large items first, then load the rest of the truck with your boxes, other small furniture and decorative items.
Then, when you arrive at your destination, unload all the small things first, place them in the corners of the flat and organise your rooms with the large pieces of furniture.

Empty dwelling

Once the move is done, you will soon notice the accumulation of dirt and dust in all the hidden places of your old home. Yes, it's time for the big clean-up, which requires one last big effort to avoid any problems.

Enjoy your move!
