Your New (or First) Apartment Checklist

by | Sep 2, 2020 | Features

There not many events for young adults that are more significant than moving out and starting living on your own. However exciting, the experience can be very stressful. Managing the expectations and smooth transition is easier to achieve by creating a moving checklist. List the main furniture items that you have and those that you need. This is where you need to be careful with your budget, and with the leftover money you can purchase smaller items and utensils. Fumigate your new habitat before you move in and set up utilities in advance.

Key Takeaways:

  • A basic kitchen can be minimalistic, but you also don’t want to be under-equipped.
  • Necessary cleaning supplies include a mop and bucket, vacuum cleaner, and garbage can and bags.
