Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: 'When a man enters his house and mentions Allah the Exalted at the time of entering and at the time of eating, Satan says: "You have no place to spend the night and no food." When he enters and does not mention Allah the Exalted at the time of entering, Satan says: "You have found a place to spend the night." When he does not mention Allah the Exalted at the time of eating, Satan says: "You have found a place to spend the night and food."' [Sunan Abi Dawud 3764, Sahih by Al-Albani]. The dua mentioned in the title is a variation that specifically includes the notion of leaving and relying on Allah, encompassing the entire transition.
