Spring break is finally here, and before you know it, it’ll be time to leave school for the summer! Whether you are going to work a summer job in your hometown or interning somewhere new, you’ll need to make sure you have your dorm or apartment ready for move-out day. Follow this timeline to make sure you get everything done on time!
Two Months Out
If you live in an apartment and have not done so already, make sure you give your landlord at least two months’ notice that you will be leaving, whether just for the summer or ending your lease entirely. Beginning packing up things you don’t use as often: seasonal clothing, cookware you don’t anticipate using. Start making piles for what you are planning on donating or getting rid of at the end of the year. Make sure you have secured a place to live come September.
Six Weeks Out
You might not want to bring all of your belongings with you this summer. Six weeks before your expected move date, make arrangements to have your things stored. Come up with a budget and an estimated list of what you are storing, from your bike to bins of books and clothing. If you don’t want to spend money on lost space you don’t need, contact OnDemand Storage. Our virtual storage units ensure that you only pay for the space that you need without leaving room to move around, and our tiered pricing structure is perfect for students!
Four Weeks Out
One month before you move out, start packing up your things. Start with what you know you will not be using before you move out. As it gets closer to your moving date, pack more and more. If you need packing materials, check out your schedule for your school’s ODS Box Day! On Box Days, the team at OnDemand will come to your school and distribute free boxes, tape, labels and markers to students signed up for storage units. New signups will also be welcomed that day.
Two Weeks Out
Check your calendar for pickup day! This will occur just before the end of the year before finals begin. Make sure your packing is done so you can have your things picked up and delivered to your storage unit without worrying on top of exams, papers, and final projects!
