เช็คลิสต์การย้าย

A practical checklist for moving into a rented flat. Tick items as you go: your progress is saved on this device only.

Before you book or sign

Compare at least two or three sites for the same dates Check the total price including cleaning, service fees and utilities Read the cancellation policy and the minimum stay Check local rules for short lets (licence or registration number on the listing) For long-term lets: view the flat (in person or live video) and confirm who the landlord is Get the lease or booking terms in writing and keep a copy

Money

Pay only through the platform's checkout or a traceable method required by local law Know how much the deposit is, where it's held and when it's returned Check whether you need a guarantor or proof of income

Moving in

Do an inventory with dated photos of every room Note meter readings (electricity, gas, water) Test smoke alarms, heating, hot water and locks Ask how to report repairs and who pays for what Register your address if the country requires it

Moving out

Give notice in writing within the notice period Clean and repeat the inventory with photos Return keys and get the deposit return date in writing
