When you close a deal on a new home, you might not be able to move in immediately. As you await the completion of repairs and remodeling, you’ll likely need to live in a rental property. Below, you’ll learn more about how to manage temporary moving and storage. 

4 Temporary Moving & Storage Tips

1. Pack the Necessities 

Since your rental property will likely be much smaller than your new home, bring only the basics. These may include a week’s worth of clothes, toiletries, small appliances, and cleaning supplies. Don’t forget the electronic devices you use daily, such as laptops and tablets. 

2. Store Non-Essentials 

Resist the urge to overcrowd your rental property by putting non-essential items into storage. Store furniture, extra bedding, holiday decorations, lawn equipment, large appliances, and home decor to lighten your load and make moving much easier. 

3. Get Furnished Housing 

Rather than moving large pieces of furniture, such as dining tables, bed frames, and sofas into your temporary housing, sign a lease on a furnished apartment. This permits you to move your furniture straight from your storage unit into your new residence rather than hauling it into and out of your rental property. 

4. Streamline the Process 

Hire a professional moving and packing company to simplify the transition from your old home to your new residence. It helps to select a company that includes both services and will handle all the details, from packing and hauling to relocating and unloading.
