When moving you have three sets of tasks.
1 Packing to Leave
Packing up efficiently and quickly with labels
2 Storage/arrival Unpacking
Arranging arrival storage and unpacking. This is where and when you reap the benefit of doing task one effectively.
3 Informing everyone
Telling landlord, banks and bill senders when you are leaving, and paying bills.
Clean and agree time for checkout inventory when keys are handed over.
Landlord
Send a whatsapp when you have paid the monthly rent. Or explain delay eg, Travelling. Will pay tomorrow.

Cleaning Oven
Clean your oven = after it has cooled! - ideally same day or before evening, at least monthly, definitely before the 3 monthly inspection of the flat. For your own safety, clear oil and fat off the case, walls, back, roof and door - our son as a student was in a shared flat where nobody cleaned the oven and it caught fire. The fire brigade warned that it acts like a candle or barbecue eventually catching fire with heat or spark if lots of grease is on the walls or the trays inside .
We might be happy for you to leave odd items you need to the last moment but can't pack, such as soap and tissues, a kitchen broom, unopened coffee pack. Please check with us.
If leaving any item such as milk in the fridge be sure to tell us so it does not get left and go off.
Remember to empty the washing machine and microwave.
If you break anything tell us.
Better to pay a small amount for replacement than have the inventory people refuse to sign off your tenancy so that the entire deposit is kept until the matter is resolved.
Some inventory people make a charge for a return visit if the door keys are not all returned.
