When should an Aggie grad give up on an apartment because the move-in delay is too long?

Quick answer

Grant would usually tolerate a short delay around a week if the renter still loves the apartment and the situation is clearly improving. As the delay grows into multiple weeks, compare the best known backup apartment seriously. Around a month or more, the disruption can become large enough that switching deserves strong consideration. The lease, replacement inventory and exact facts control the final choice; this is a practical framework, not a legal rule.
