Quick read: A leaving-Perth checklist for selling household items, wrapping up rentals, cars, accounts, super and goodbyes.

Start earlier than you think

• Cars, furniture and lease endings can take longer than expected.
• Make a list of every account, subscription, utility, insurance policy and membership that needs closing.
• If you are in a share house, give proper notice and agree handover details in writing.

Selling things

• Take clear photos, price fairly and be honest about pickup location and condition.
• For cars, check transfer paperwork, roadworthiness expectations and payment safety.
• For furniture, bundle small items and set pickup windows so your final week does not become chaotic.

Money and paperwork

• Check what happens with superannuation, tax, bank accounts and final pays.
• Keep Australian phone/email access long enough to receive codes and final documents.
• Save rental, employment and tax records before leaving.

Leaving well makes it easier to come back later if Perth pulls you back.
