If it’s spring or summer while you’re reading this, chances are good that moving day is coming up for the renters who live around you. About 80% of moves in the United States happen between April and September, with the busiest months concentrated in June, July, and August.

But what does moving day actually look like? At Avail, we’re constantly trying to make life easier for renters and their landlords, so we decided to take a closer look at one of the most stressful moments of any renter’s (or landlord’s) life: moving day.

In this report, we break down data we gathered from a survey we conducted of more than 1,100 tenants currently renting their homes in the United States. We examine four regions of the country (the Northeast, the South, the Midwest, and the West) to see which kinds of moving day behavior are universal (hint: everybody loves Zillow) and which ones vary by region (um… why do Midwesterners like sponges so much?) — and to offer some tips and tricks for making moving a little easier.

Here’s a high-level summary of our results. For a detailed breakdown, including a look at moving day essentials in different parts of the country, some handy moving day tips, and more, keep reading.
