Moving into a new apartment gives you a sense of starting over in a brand new place with clean carpets, freshly painted walls and shimmering appliances. However, moving out of an apartment or a condo creates an entirely different feeling altogether, such as dreading the cleanup and loading your belongings. You also have to check and make sure you've left the place in good condition if you plan to get your security deposit back.
When you move into a new apartment, you have to sign a contract that outlines certain guidelines, such as whether you can customize the apartment to your liking. Some places let you paint the walls as long as you repaint them before you move out. Damage, such as burn spots in the carpet, may also affect whether or not you receive your deposit. Consider these tips when you plan to move so you can leave your apartment in prime condition.
- Clean each room thoroughly.
- Repair screw holes on the walls.
- Repaint the wall with its original color.
- Soak the tub in bleach and water to remove stains.
- Clean out and wipe down the refrigerator and other appliances.

Before you make the move to your next apartment, store your belongings in Elizabeth storage units.
