Normally, when a move out is about to happen, people do not find it very easy to leave or purge things that have become part of their lives.  Call it sentimental but generally of people are reacting just the same.  However, if you want to be a little practical about the move out, then you should understand that there are things that you should leave behind to make the entire moving out a lot easier and stress free.  Below are some the things that you need to know should be left behind:
• Leave all the hazardous things in the house.  There are federal laws that prohibit anyone in transporting hazardous materials like the ones used for killing pesticides and insects.  If you cannot help but bring these hazardous things then they may need to be packed with care.  Otherwise, ask for some professional help.• Leave all the things that you think will eat up much space in the moving out van.  Your china cabinet may have sentimental value but this will cost you too much space during the transport.  You can have it disassembled for the transport or have it sold in one of your garage sales. 
It is impractical to bring all of your things in the new place when you know that you can have these bought once you arrived in the new place.
