You’re going abroad for a few months? Taking a sabbatical? Or just temporarily moving out?
Then you’re probably asking yourself:
Should I sublet my apartment – and what do I do with all my personal stuff?
Subletting can be a great solution. You save rent, your home stays in use, and you don’t have to give up your space entirely.
But when someone else moves in, it’s normal to ask:
👉 What happens to my personal belongings?
You might not want your private items lying around — or maybe you just want to make room in the closet. Here’s how to prepare and store your things easily and securely.
Why subletting makes sense – and where it gets tricky
Letting someone else live in your space while you’re gone has a lot of upsides:
- You save money
- Your apartment doesn’t sit empty
- You can pick up where you left off when you return
The only challenge?
Most people don’t want to leave all their belongings out in the open — especially not private items, valuables or sentimental things.
That’s where smart storage comes in.
What to do with your personal things before subletting
You don’t need to empty your entire apartment. But a bit of strategic decluttering can make a big difference — for your peace of mind and for your subtenant.
Step 1: Sort
What should stay in the flat? What should be stored somewhere safe?
Use the rule of thumb: If it’s personal, emotional, or valuable — store it.
Step 2: Pack properly
Use solid boxes or suitcases, label everything, and protect:
- Clothes → garment bags or folded neatly in boxes
- Documents → sealed folders
- Tech & valuables → padded boxes or hard cases
Tip: Create a “private box” just for yourself — diaries, photos, letters, external drives, personal mail, etc.
No basement? No extra space? No problem.
If you don’t want to leave things in shared spaces — or if you simply don’t have the room — a storage solution is your best friend.
And that’s exactly where SaveSpace comes in.
