You know, I read this thread as it was first posted this morning and hit the back button. Call it self-editing.
This is unfair. You two are basically tossing the guy out because he's not the friend you want to move in. You've made up your collective mind and are moving forward with all deliberate speed to get him out. Not because he's a slob or unfriendly or keeps dead cats in the freezer. No, you're just not as friendly with him as you are with the other guy. And that sucks. Personally, I think you should show the guy your post - that will probably motivate him to move all on his own. I know I wouldn't want to be in that kind of situation. This all just seems incredibly selfish to me.
So if you're going to do this (and I doubt my little scolding will have any influence at all), then you need to be as fair as possible to Mr. C. Tell him that you've got someone else who is very interested in the room, and that he wants to move in within 90 days. Tell him you'll work with him if he needs more time. Typicially leases are signed 60 days in advance of a move-in date, although that's not written in stone. Don't expect him to move out next week. And expect that your happy little home will be considerably frostier until he leaves.
And you should definitely get a lease out of Ms. A as soon as possible. Who knows when she's going to tire of you and kick you to the curb like you're both doing to Mr. C?
