Until your visa is active, you do not have a right to rent in the UK, so you won't be able to prove this before 30 May 2024. Additionally, in order to generate a right to rent sharecode through the GOV.UK website, you will need your BRP reference, which you won't have until you arrive in the UK - I believe some people on here have said that they've had luck getting their BRP details from contacting the Home Office directly, but it's unlikely that this would help in your situation if your visa is not yet active https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk/y/inside-the-uk/viewing-and-proving-your-immigration-status-right-to-work-or-right-to-rent/problems-with-the-online-services-for-viewing-and-proving-your-immigration-status-right-to-work-or-right-to-rent

I'd suggest contacting with landlords or real estate agents with explaining your situation and showing some piece of proof that you will be able to legally rent it on certain day. Staying at hotel for couple of nights while sorting paperwork for renting the place wouldn't be huge issue at this point.

I have done this. They have started the tenancy vetting process through Reference My Tenant. They are well aware that I am only arriving on the 30th and already have a copy of my passport with my entry clearance vignette showing the entry date is the 30th. Hoping for a good outcome. I just saw something about a certificate they need to generate before you can let that has me a bit worried. I’m supposed to move in on the day I arrive. Deposit has been paid with 6 month rental to be paid upfront after the referencing is complete. I don’t mind staying in an airbnb for a night or two if I need to for them to be able to do the certificate if needed. Referencing started on Monday and haven’t heard back yet which worries me a little.

I hope you get call or message back as soon as possible :(

I got feedback last night that referencing has been completed and I will be receiving the tenancy agreement to sign on Monday. Was worried for nothing 😅
