Where you’re moving, whether it’s furnished, and how much space you’ll have there will also dictate what you can bring with and what you’ll need to leave behind in storage.
Some short-term rentals are fully furnished so you won’t need to bring much. Call and find out about what’s provided. Consider what you’ll need to use on a day-to-day basis and ask about items provided in the rental agreement.

If you rent a room, you may need to furnish your designated space but should be allowed to share household items. This leaves you worry-free regarding appliances, dishes, and home entertainment.
