[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, shit, Aims. No damn way. Just, NO.
{{Pix and Zoe}} I hope everything turns out well.
Aims, seriously?? 5 days before you're supposed to move and they pull this? Ummmm. No. Not unless they want to pay for you and your family to live in a hotel for a week. And pay for the storage for your stuff. And pay for the fee for rescheduling movers at the last minute.
Turns out they don't want to do any of that so current tenant will be out! The place won't be cleaned, but whatever. I would have done it anyway and I'll make sure that it is understood that I did it when I moved in. So the move is still on for Saturday. HURRAY!
AND AND AND!! I got an A- in a class I was only expecting a B in so YAY ON THAT TOO!!
Phew, Aims! That would have been a huge PITA.

This. Either the woman who can't move out pays, or the real estate agent pays, but as you said, your lease starts on May 1, and unless the lease you signed allows for the previous tenant to stay through/past May 1, then she needs to get out and/or your real estate agent needs to figure out a fix, FAST.
t edit Wow -- you got satisfactory resolution on that faster than I can type! Woo!
Hunormous. If I make it through to June without an ulcer, I will be majorly surprised.
Congratulations on the A- and on successfully dealing with the real estate agent, Aims. What a stress-fest the whole thing's been for you.
I'm getting so drunk after all of this over. Like puking, crying drunk.

You should ask for the realtor to give you the cleaning deposit, because can be damned sure that they are collecting it, and they shouldn't profit from her mistake and you have to do the cleaning.
