Legal advice for tenant move in dates changed

[Will Barnard]

Calling all attorneys.

My daughter signed on 6-21-21 (as did her two room mates) a lease move in date with agreed lease rate per month and $200 deposit for an apartment in the Los Angeles area (the actual full lease agreement was not yet signed but this agreement was binding). Her move in date is 1 week away now and she already gave the required 30 day notice to her current PM company of her move out. She now has to be out of her current apartment and the new location PM company sent her an email stating an apology but they have to move her move in date back 6 weeks! With all the tenant favored laws in CA, I find it hard to believe a landlord/property management company on behalf of landlord can change a move in date without explanation and without compensation. All of my research trying to find the answer or the specific law that addresses such an issue comes up with early lease terminations and the like. I can not find anything regarding a lease that has not yet started technically but the move in date is changed causing irreparable harm to the lessee.

Any advice out there from an attorney who has dealt with such an issue?
