If you lease term is almost over, start organizing a move-out plan. Usually, companies and landlords send a written notification about the upcoming lease expiration, but there are some things you need to remember before packing up and driving to your new apartment.
Prepare a written notification
Tenants are required by law to submit a notification if they want to move out. Every state has different laws, but generally, notifications are issued 30 days before the move. This rule is also applicable for lease terms that are about to expire. If you fail to submit one to your landlord, you might spend more time in your apartment longer than you expected.
Take Care of the Cleaning and Repairs
Picture the first day you move into your apartment. Chances are it was clean, sparkly and damage-free - this is the same condition you want to leave your apartment. Otherwise, your landlord can take away most, if not all of your security deposit. So, get a professional cleaning company to take care of your apartment. There are plenty of professional cleaning services that can help you with carpet and window cleaning problems. To save a few cash, consider doing minor repairs and repainting yourself.  Aside from that, you may also want to hire a moving company to ease the burden of moving.
