Tips and Resources for Moving Out

Moving can be stressful for everyone.  Follow the tips below to make it easier for you and your neighbors who continue to live in the community.

  • Start early - it will take longer than you think.
  • Buy strong trash bags. The bags from the grocery store will tear or get ripped apart by four-legged friends.
  • Donate furniture, clothing and food.
  • Organize responsibilities with roommates so one person doesn't get left doing everything. 
  • Consider your neighbors who are staying around when disposing trash and selecting moving times. Live in the Temple patrol zone? Schedule a TUmove pick-up of your discarded household items!
  • Make sure you use a mattress bag when disposing a mattress or box spring. You can email neighbor@temple.edu to request a mattress bag.
  • Before moving out, take a moment to discuss expectations with your landlord. This ensures a smooth transition and helps address any concerns on both sides.
  • Update your voter registration.

Please note: The Broad Street Run is scheduled for Sunday, May 5, 2024. Please anticipate a high volume of people, traffic in the area, and road closures.  Please plan accordingly.
