Quick answer

Grant uses roughly 30 days before the employment start date as a practical planning point that many professionally managed communities may accommodate when the applicant otherwise qualifies. A move-in 45–60 days before work begins can require more discussion, a guarantor, additional funds or a different property policy. Never assume the timing; confirm the specific community’s rule before applying.
