Q: When should I start packing clothes for a move?

• <div><p>You should give yourself ample time to pack clothes for a move. For best results, begin packing at least a few weeks before moving. The packing process may take shorter or longer depending on how many clothes you have and the size of your home. Start with clothing that&rsquo;s out of season and work you way to the pieces you plan to pack in your moving-day suitcase.</p></div>

Q: How much notice do I need to give before moving from my current lot?

• <div><p>It depends on your lease with the mobile home park. Most parks ask residents to provide written notice 30 days before moving. Consult your current mobile park for specific move-out details before moving.</p></div>
