We bought close to the middle of the month and used the extra time to clean up the property before we left. Most of our stuff was already packed in the garage.
It sounds like you have not mentioned the house hunting to your landlord. Depending on your relationship with them , I would talk to them about it. It is a pain in the butt finding, advertising, screening and getting new tenants. Most landlords may or may not cut you a deal. But prepare for them to play hardball especially if you give notice a month or two after signing the lease. My two cents.
