What should an Aggie grad do if the apartment is not ready on move-in day?

Quick answer

First confirm the revised move-in date and the reason for the delay in writing. Protect the job start by arranging flexible nearby temporary lodging, storage if needed and a workable plan for your essentials. Stay in close communication with management and ask whether any rent credit or other remedy applies under the lease or the property’s written agreement. A short delay is a logistics problem; do not let it become first-week-at-work chaos.
