Security Deposits: Have you fulfilled all the requirements for the return of your security deposit? Have you paid the security deposit (if any) for your new house? Have you clearly explained and documented any repairs required in your old house?
Documents: Have you transferred important documents such as your driver's license, visa, passport or work permit to your new address? Your homes new occupants will also appreciate it if you leave out any manuals for appliances or other items you're leaving behind.
Final Walkthrough: Make sure that everything thats going with you is properly packed and labeled, and that any broken or used-up items have been disposed of.

You'll also be able to relax and enjoy the move itself. - 16492
