Moving to a new state: a renter's relocation checklist

Walk through relocating to a new state as a renter: budget for moving and higher upfront costs, research neighborhoods and prices remotely, how to rent safely from a distance and avoid scams, schedule movers, transfer or set up utilities and change your address, and what to do in the first week. Note no-fee, by-owner listings cut one big relocation expense. Practical, not legal advice.
