Back-to-school season can be hectic, but if you rent, there are some tips to make the transition smoother. Whether you’re a property manager or landlord hoping to share tips with your tenants or you are a resident in an apartment yourself, these ideas are sure to make the beginning of the school year more fun and less stressful for everyone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If department store flyers and school supply sales are any indications, there\u2019s no doubt it is back-to-school season once more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you rent–particularly if you live in an apartment complex–there are some specific things you can do to prepare yourself and your family for this hectic transition, no matter what this school year will look like for your local community.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anticipate Your New Routines:<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Routines are extremely important to find success; especially for children, who need that additional structure and reassurance during a somewhat unpredictable time. For students who will be starting school in person, transitioning out of your summertime routine is key. Around a month before the school year begins, start transitioning your child\u2019s bedtime routine to ensure they won\u2019t be groggy and ill-adapted to early morning wakeups. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your area is implementing social distancing measures, now is the time to examine your child\u2019s schedule for online learning. If your child can complete work at any time during the day, it can be helpful to implement your own schedule to ensure that your child is not relying on online connectivity during peak hours. This is especially important if you noticed connectivity issues last year due to a strain on your apartment\u2019s internet connection. Take this opportunity to plan accordingly, or consult with your property management team to see if there are ways to address connectivity issues before the school year begins.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Organized:<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether your child will be in a classroom or learning from home, you will need to carve out a space that encourages a productive learning environment. From homework assignments to online schooling, a small area dedicated to school activities can do a lot to diminish distractions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While living in a small space can pose a challenge, particularly when your space needs to serve many functions, there are some ways that you can get organized for the school year without sacrificing your home environment. Just like with a home office, using modular desks or carts and finding furniture that performs more than one function can be helpful in this task. Remember that when bringing in new items, you may need to donate, store, or reorganize items currently in your home or children\u2019s rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
