So for stuff that's not trivial to remove just set up new accounts i.e. [email protected], tie everything to that e-mail and then just hand over the passwords when you move. Preferably do this when you move in, It also solves the issue of providers with no means to share accounts or devices that tie to google/other auth, this way you share the password with everyone who lives with you without giving out any personal credentials.

Not to mention the convenience of having the ability to have e-mails sent to whoever happens to be resident at that property and keep a history that can be transferred. I.e. maintenance invoices, remodel invoices, appliance receipts. Then when you sell the house the new owner will get all that info.

Yea, that's definitely what I should have done. But it did not cross my mind when I originally set everything up. Next time!
