Moving Out?
On September 1 there will be 1 hour parking limits in Fenway and Mission Hill. Make sure your belongings are ready to move before you park.
Move larger items like beds and desks first.
Label your boxes and make sure you leave your toolkit at the top of a box!
Get your Security Deposit back!
Walk through the apartment with your landlord and make a collective decision about its condition. Unless there are damages, you are due 100% of your deposit (plus interest) within 30 days after your lease end date.

Moving to another unit?
Remember these tips when moving from one apartment to another.
Checkout/ Check-in:
Know when you need to be out of your current apartment; ask when you can move into your new one. Make the transition smooth and avoid scheduling conflicts with the residents replacing you.
Cancel your bills. Inform your electric, cable, newspaper and internet companies that you are cancelling your subscription or moving apartments. Don't get charged for services you are not using.
Respect your neighbors. The last week of August and early September are incredibly hectic in Boston. Don't block off the stairway or entry to your building with your belongings. Lend a hand to neighbors who may need help with their own move!
Respect your apartment. Even though you are leaving, you are still responsible for the apartment's condition. If you host a moving out party, clean up after yourself to protect your security deposit.

Online shopping is fun and convenient. However, it has also become a way for criminals to offer non-existent jobs, apartments and stolen items.
NUPD has investigated reports from students who have not received items they've paid for, received checks that don't clear and suffered from identity theft.
Don't become a victim. Follow these online safety tips.
- Only make purchases via PayPal, or another trusted source. If you sell an item, be aware of the risks of accepting checks or money orders.
 - When using Craigslist or similar sites and have to meet the buyer or seller, meet in a public place; tell someone where you're going, bring a friend along, trust your instincts and never wire money.
- Never give out personal information such as account numbers, Social Security, or credit card numbers.
- Only a scammer will "guarantee" the transaction.
- Beware of Lottery scams; you can't win a lottery you didn't enter.
- Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!
For more online safety information, visit these pages from Craigslist and Amazon. Contact NUPD at 617-373-2696 for more information.

Ask Roaming Husky
Dear Roaming Husky,
I'm moving out of my apartment at the at the end of the month and I am worried about losing my security deposit! We had a few parties during the year and ended up with a crack in the living room wall. Will I still get my money back?
Sincerely,
Klutz
Dear Klutz, Schedule a time now to go through the apartment's condition with your landlord. Clean up the unit before meeting and go through each room to make a collective decision about the condition of the apartment. Don't hide damage from your landlord as it may only come back to bite you later. Unless there are damages, you are entitled to 100% of your deposit plus interest within 30 days of your lease end date. Take photos as you move into your new property and date them, keeping a copy for yourself and giving another to the landlord. Lessen the likelihood that someone else's damage is blamed on you in the future. -Your Roaming Husky
