What do you do with everything left in a student apartment at the end of a lease?

When student leases end, you can have a junk removal haul away the old items and leave the unit broom-clean for the next tenant.

Move-out season in New Haven can be chaotic if you manage properties. Part of the problem is that leases tend to end in the same narrow window. Students moving out sometimes don’t take all their furniture with them. So that means you are responsible for figuring out what to do with futons and couches. A lot of the items they leave are big ones too, like mattresses and desks, or items that have special disposal requirements like mini-fridges and microwaves. That adds up when you're talking about a big building. A landlord or property manager who houses a lot of students can suddenly find themselves with a big turnover problem around May.

New leases often start days after the old ones end. There is little time to clear the unit, then clean it and have it ready to show. Doing it piece by piece, or making dump runs with a carful at a time, does not fit that schedule.

This is where a junk removal crew like the Junkluggers of New Haven County can help. Junk removal professionals are able to haul out the leftover furniture, mattresses, appliances, and clutter in a single visit. Your team can move straight to cleaning and repairs.

After we pick up items, we sort them. We donate and rehome items whenever possible so old things go on to help someone new. And before any work begins, you’ll have a written on-site estimate in hand which you can approve or decline. With same-day and next-day service available when the schedule allows, you can turn the unit before the next lease starts.
