Overlapping tenants - how should I do this?

I have an odd situation I haven't run into before - the tenants in one of my SFH is moving out at the end of June. A coworker of theirs wants to move in next week (his current lease is ending), live with them til the end of June, and then take over the rent. I have vetted the coworker and he meets my qualifications. I will get a security deposit before he moves in and he'll sign a 12 month lease starting July 1st.

My main issue is how to do the move out inspection for the original tenants. If I do it now, the house is still full of their things and that's not my ideal situation for inspections. If I wait for them to move their stuff out next month, the new guy's things will be there.  I've been in the house several times, they've taken care of it and I don't expect to find anything broken/torn up, but still.

Any ideas for the best way to handle this?
