moving out
Vacating your place
Moving out is leaving a residence, typically permanently—packing belongings and relocating to a new home: She's moving out of her parents' house next month.
The phrase often marks life transitions: leaving home for the first time, ending a relationship, or changing living situations.
In military contexts, moving out means departing or advancing: The troops are moving out at dawn.
