Minute Cryptic

Our definition here is 'Downright', and the question mark on the end of the clue is a little hint that our definition might be slightly loose or punny. Our answer will mean downright, in a manner of speaking...

This clue's indicators are 'ditching', 'moves', 'into', and 'vacant'. One of these is an anagram indicator suggesting we'll need to shift some neighbouring letters around. Another is a containing indicator - we'll be putting some fodder inside some other fodder. The other two are different kinds of deletion indicator - one tells us to delete some fodder from other fodder and the second tells us to delete letters from a neighbouring word by their position.

This clue's fodder is 'me', 'Housemate' and 'sublet'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
