Does the 9th May 2017 date go on the contract of sale date or the settlement date?

I am living in a mortgage free home. I have bought another house on mortgage, moving there, and turning the 1st home into an investment property (renting it out). There will be a change over period of moving from old home to the new home so from what date can I start to claim expenses for preparing the first home for rental ? Will it be from settlement date of my new home ? As strictly speaking we will be moved out then but the first home will not have tenants for some weeks while we prepare it for rental.
