I wouldn't worry about it too much. Any chance you can obtain a contract position or freelance work during that time so you can just list it as contract position/work. But I really wouldn't worry about a small gap especially when moving to a new city. Once you know you're leaving and getting ready to turn in your notice you could ask HR if you could take unpaid leave so your last official day is a few months out, not sure this is possible but if you're worried about your last official day of employment or a gap it might be worth asking. I think I've only had one company contact my previous companies HR to verify my dates of employment. And one of my former companies HR staff called to let me know about it and see if it was ok to give them information and say they weren't even sure they can legally call up and ask for employee information like that. Anyway good luck landing a new gig.
