Your Guide to a Smooth Summer Move

Whether you’re saying goodbye to your Lang apartment, settling in for another year, or getting ready to move in for the first time — summer is a time of transition, and we’re here to help make yours a smooth one.

 

If You’ve Just Moved Out…

 

Congratulations! Whether you’ve graduated or are headed to a new home, you’ve wrapped up your time at Lang — and we hope it was a great one. Now that move-out is behind you, it’s time to think about what’s next for your stuff.

  • Moving back home? Start sorting what really needs to come with you — and what doesn’t. For the items you no longer need, consider donating gently used furniture and decor to the Goodwill in Newark or posting on UD Parents Connect: Furniture Buy & Sell to find your items a second life.
  • Moving to another apartment? Think ahead about how your current belongings will fit into your new space. If you’re short on room, you might want to store items in a garage or local storage facility until you’re more settled.
  • Don’t want to move it at all? That’s valid too — now is a great time to sell or donate larger items instead of dragging them from one place to another. Again, consider donating gently used furniture and decor to the Goodwill in Newark or posting on UD Parents Connect: Furniture Buy & Sell to find your items a second life.

If You’re Staying in the Same Apartment…

 

Staying put is the ultimate moving win — but it’s still the perfect time to do a mid-year refresh, so take advantage.

  • Reorganize your space to make it more functional for your upcoming year. Clear out drawers, tidy storage areas, and rethink what you actually use.
  • Welcoming a new roommate? Make space for them now to avoid clutter later. A fresh start helps everyone feel more at home.
  • Lost a roommate? Time to reassess shared items and responsibilities. A little rebalancing now can make the months ahead smoother.

If You’re New to Lang…

 

Welcome! We’re so glad you’ll be living with us. While you’re waiting for move-in day, a little planning now can make a huge difference later.

  • Coordinate with your roommates about who’s bringing what — think kitchen gear, cleaning supplies, or living room furniture. (Trust us, you don’t need three toasters.)
  • Start a checklist of essentials and nice-to-haves. We’ll include a full list in next month’s newsletter to help you cover all the bases.
  • Make move-in plans early. Know your date, talk to your roommates about timing, and think ahead about how you’ll get your things here.

 

No matter where this summer takes you, we hope your move — big or small — sets you up for a great next chapter. And if you ever need anything from us, we’re just a phone call or email away.

A Fond Farewell and a Warm Welcome from Lang Development Group

Farewell and Best Wishes to Our Tenants Who are Graduating or Moving On

As we wrap up the 2024–2025 leasing year, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our tenants who made Lang Development Group their home this past year. Whether you were with us for one year or several, we truly appreciate you choosing Lang during your time here. Your presence helped shape the vibrant, welcoming community we’re so proud of.

 

We wish you the very best as you move on to new chapters in life—whether it’s starting a new job, continuing your education, or setting out on a different adventure altogether. And remember, if you find yourself back in the area, drop by – we’d love to see you again!

 

Looking Ahead: Welcome to Our 2025–2026 Tenants!

To our new tenants joining us for the 2025–2026 leasing year—welcome! We’re excited to have you as part of the Lang community. As you settle into your new home and embrace the independence of apartment living, we’ve put together a few helpful tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

 

Embracing Independence and Responsibility

Living in an apartment is a big step forward in your journey toward independence. With that freedom comes some important responsibilities:

  • Know Your Lease Take time to read through your lease agreement carefully. It outlines your rights and responsibilities, including rent payments, maintenance procedures, and property guidelines. If you’re unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to contact us—Lang is here to help.
  • Pay Rent on Time Staying on top of your rent payments is crucial. Late payments can result in fees and affect your rental history. Use our online portal to make secure payments and set reminders so you never miss a due date. Be sure to bookmark the portal for easy access.
  • Submit Maintenance Requests Promptly If anything in your apartment needs attention, you can submit a maintenance request through our online portal. The sooner we know about an issue, the faster we can take care of it for you.

 

Roommate Tips for a Great Living Environment

If you’re living with roommates, clear communication and shared expectations are key to a positive experience:

  • Plan Household Responsibilities Talk with your roommates about how you’ll divide tasks like grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. A rotating schedule can help keep things fair and organized.
  • Keep Track of Your Key! Don’t lend out your apartment key. If it’s lost or stolen, notify us immediately so we can arrange for a replacement.
  • Communicate Openly Make time for regular check-ins with your roommates. Open communication about shared responsibilities and living expectations helps prevent conflicts and builds a stronger living dynamic.
