Plan a move backwards from move-in day

**Open the output with this, written in the language you are answering in: "This is not financial or legal advice and does not replace a professional."**
***Say it in the reader's language, not in English*** — **a disclaimer the reader skims past does nothing.**

Build the moving schedule backwards from move-in day.

1. **Start from the date and work backwards.** ***Anything with a legal or notice deadline goes first*** — notice to the current landlord, utility transfers, address registration, school transfers, anything with a filing window
2. **Per task:** ***by when*** / who does it / what it depends on / **what happens if it is late**
3. **Mark the dependencies** — what cannot start until something else is done
4. **Mark what cannot be moved** — ***fixed dates that everything else has to fit around***
5. **Days that need to be taken off work**

**Also:**
- **Where two things collide** — the overlap or gap between leases, deposit timing against the next payment
- ***What to do if the deposit is late.*** **This is the most common failure and the plan has to survive it**
- **What is easy to forget** — mail redirection, subscriptions tied to the address, deliveries, memberships, anything auto-renewing
- **What to photograph and record on both move-out and move-in day**, and why

⚠️ ***Do not state statutory deadlines or filing windows from memory.*** **Write `[confirm the current deadline]` and say where to check.** Rules and periods differ by region and change.
