Another customer has service at my new address

Hi I'm moving tomorrow and need to transfer my Internet service with me. But when I use the moving service from Xfinity it said "Another customer has service at your new address, so we have to schedule your installation out at least five days and close your old account the same day you install." How can I activate it at the day I move instead of several days later?

@user_f8ff79 if the old tenants have already moved out and just forgot to reach out to us to cancel their account, if you go to the local xfinity store and show them your new lease they can cancel the current account and get you set up to complete the transfer of service, now if they haven’t moved out yet then you just need to contact the landlord and ask them to reach out to their tenant to tell them to cancel their services with us

@XfinityOrlandoM​ Thank you for your response. Our new place is an apartment in a privately owned four-plex building. We have no way to contact the previous tenants, so are we supposed to go without service?

@user_f8f79 your welcome, its not uncommon that tenant to forget to cancel there services, so best way to get this taken care of is to go in with your lease and show them your the new tenant moving in
