Checklist Tasks

• List all utilities in your name to ensure none are missed for disconnection.
• Contact each provider for shutoff dates that match your lease end.
• Request written confirmation and final meter readings to avoid extra charges.
• Photograph meters with date stamps on move-out to prove usage cutoff.
• Ask about final bill timing and refundable deposits to recover owed money.
• Update your forwarding address with each utility for final bill delivery.
• Check if landlord needs utility proof before deposit release.
• Cancel or transfer renter’s insurance linked to your old address.
• Remove or update autopay to stop payments post-move.
• Request a zero-balance statement after paying the final bill.
• Confirm with your landlord that all utilities are off for new tenants.
