I hope you get the apartment you want Clang.   

Cutting off the utilities at your current apartment won't take long at all.  Just don't do it until you have a confirmation that the new place is your's.

If you cut off the current lease, you might be obligated to pay for unused rent at the same time you have to put a security deposit down on the new place.  Hopefully, your current landlord will allow you to break the lease without charging you when you explain your situation.  

I'm excited for you too and really hope you'll be in your own place very soon.
