I’m so occupied lately and one of the reason is our relocation. Some people thought relocating must be fun and exciting, but for me it’s a bunch of list to do and headache. This has been occupying my brain for the past couple of days, and here’s what I’d learned:

Early termination notification for

• tenancy
• gas/electric/telephone
• consider Termination Fees

–> TIP: You need to keep an organize plan that will help you track all your schedule and activities.

Moving

• Finding Movers to take care of relocating your household goods
• Packing of household stuff
• Temporary Storage of your goods

–> TIP: Create a checklist of all your household goods, and send a request for quotation to 2-3 different movers company to get the best deal.

Temporary Accomodation

–> TIP: If you are new to the place, make sure your accommodation is accessible to public transportation, includes internet connection and telephone.

Finding New Place to Move In

• Search online and schedule for appointment to inspect the place
• Visit real estate or property management agent office

–> TIP: Make sure you know the requirement ahead of time and print at least 5 copies each of them. Usually, this includes passport/visa details, bank statement, billing statement, employer certificate and etc.

New Place

• Signing tenancy agreement
• Settling Amount
• Reconnection of Gas/Electric/Telephone
• Sending back the condition report

–> TIP: In condition report, make sure you put everything in notes so it will not deduct those damages after your tenancy term.

Moving

• contacting movers to relocate your household from temporary storage to your new address
• booking of lift and security (If required)
• unpacking & fixing
• buying new stuff again

Lastly, you should have enough funds to take care of everything.
