We rented an apartment for 5 months after listing our house for sale because we didn’t want to have to clean it and leave the house fora few hours every time someone wanted to come do a viewing.
In our defense… we had a 3yr old, a hairy dog, and were preparing to leave the country permanently, which took 10 months of nonstop preparation on top of working full time, so I still think it was worth the money to save us the extra work. But yeah, probably the laziest thing I’ve done.
That's not lazy, that's just good planning. The last thing you need before a massive move like that is more stress.
I'm pretty sure that's what I'll have to do as I can clean but I have trouble maintaining. Plus I have too much stuff for the space I have, so I'll need a place for my stuff anyways.
