Before you start
Track leaving the old apartment and entering the new one in parallel, keeping debts, meters and security separate.
Who is this guide for?
Tenants moving between rentals, with or without overlap.
This is a planning checklist. Early termination, replacement tenants and security release depend on the agreement and law; it gives no unilateral termination right.
The checklist
Map the existing lease dates
Existing lease; correspondence.
Finding a replacement tenant does not itself end the lease.
Check the new apartment's readiness
Draft lease; condition and inventory list.
Model dates require actual agreement.
Budget the transition
Cost estimate; agreements.
An unconfirmed refund is not available funding.
Sequence handovers and services
Moving schedule; account details.
Your contingency time is not a supplier's promised processing time.
Close each property separately
Two property files; tracker.
Do not combine different landlords' debts or agreements without express documentation.
