Moving out of a Nashua apartment has one trap that catches newcomers. City carts take no overflow, and there are no special pickups from November to mid-spring. So the trash plan can matter as much as the cleaning plan.

This guide covers New Hampshire's deposit rules, how to clear a home in Nashua and nearby towns, and what a One-Time Moving Clean from TotalCare Cleaning will include.

New Hampshire's deposit rules

New Hampshire law requires a landlord to return a security deposit, with any interest owed, within 30 days after the tenancy ends. It caps a deposit at one month's rent or a small statutory minimum, whichever is greater, and it gives tenants 5 days after moving in to list existing problems in writing.

That written list is your best friend at the end of a lease, so if you are reading this on the way in, do it now. On the way out, take dated photos of each room, leave a forwarding address and keep your cleaning record. A home that is clean at the walkthrough removes one easy disagreement. This is general information rather than legal advice, so read your lease and seek help for any specific dispute.

Clearing a Nashua home

Nashua Public Works collects trash at the curb weekly for most homes and picks up recycling every other week on the same day. Carts take no overflow, so extra bags from a move must go to the Four Hills landfill, and you will need a landfill sticker. Plan ahead for that rather than leaving bags beside the cart.

Oversized items, appliances and tires are picked up by appointment only from mid-spring through the end of October, and there are no special pickups from November to mid-spring. A winter move therefore means a landfill trip, a private hauler or a friend with a truck. In winter the city also asks that carts stay off snow banks, so clear a spot at the road. Cleaners bag ordinary household trash, but they do not haul furniture, debris or construction waste.

Other towns work differently

Merrimack does not offer curbside trash pickup, so residents use the transfer station on Fearon Road with a residential permit sticker. Bedford requires a sticker for its transfer station at 77 Chubbuck Road, which is closed Sundays and Mondays, a detail worth checking before you load a truck. Amherst takes trash and recycling at its transfer station on Route 101, which does not accept hazardous waste, and it takes part in the Nashua Regional Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program. Hollis runs the Rocky Pond Transfer Station for homeowner generated trash.

Because of all this, a move between towns can come as a surprise. If you are coming into or leaving one of these towns, ask about stickers first. The move-in guide has a longer town by town list.

Who moves here

About 51 percent of occupied homes in Manchester are rented, and about 26 percent of units there are in 2 to 4 unit buildings. Nashua is at about 44 percent rented, with about 25 percent of units in buildings of 10 or more. So a typical move here may involve the shared stairs of a small building or a large complex with its own rules. Ask your manager for any checklist well ahead of time.

Students add to the calendar too. Rivier University is in Nashua, and Manchester has UNH Manchester with Southern New Hampshire University partly within city limits. Older rentals also have older finishes, and some wear there is just age. With about 28 percent of Manchester's homes predating 1940, photos help you separate that from anything recent.

What the Moving Clean includes

The One-Time Moving Clean covers everything in a One-Time Deep Clean, such as hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, cleared window tracks and detailed faucets. It then adds the inside of the oven and refrigerator and the inside of kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers. Walls get spot cleaned and interior doors get wiped.

Empty homes in New Hampshire also have a pest angle. UNH Extension notes that mice move in as fall cools and advises prompt cleanup of spills, and insects such as ladybugs and cluster flies gather indoors. A clean kitchen with no food left behind gives them less reason to stay. The same service suits a buyer or a new tenant before the boxes arrive. Starting prices are in the table above.
