For a lot of people, the end of the spring means it is almost time to start looking for a new rental apartment or home. For students, it is the end of the semester and they are getting ready to go home for the summer, and for everyone else, many leases are coming to an end. But whether you are about to renew your current lease or get yourself a new one, here are three things you can do to prepare.

1. Reorganize

If you are nearing the end of your lease and are planning on either staying or finding a new place, it is time to take a look at your stuff. When you first moved in, you had the necessities, but over the year you have probably accumulated a few extra belongings. Spring is a great opportunity to get rid of some things you don’t want, and to organize the things you want to keep. 

2. Cleaning

Even if you clean everyday, places such as corners, ceilings, closets and other nooks and crannies can get dirty. Spring is the perfect time of year to do a deep clean. After all, you have just reorganized your stuff, so you should have plenty of room to clean a little extra.

3. Insurance

Every renter needs renter’s insurance. While the property you are renting is usually covered in your lease, your possessions inside that property are not. A lot of places in the Cincinnati, OH area even require insurance in the lease. Spring is a great time to renew or find a great rental insurance company. Advantage Insurance Network serving Cincinnati, OH would love to be that company.
