This is what's been on my mind lately:
If CH moves out of House #1 to live in House #2 with MT, then JD can move into to Room #1 of House #1. Or CM can move out of House #1 and MT or JD can move into Room #2 of House #1. But if JK moves out of House #1, then JD or MT can move into Room #3 of House #1. Except that CM wants to move from Room #2 to Room #3 of House #1. So CH can move into House #2 with MT and JD and CM can live in House #1. But then Room #1 of House #1 is empty. So maybe MT should move into Room #2 of House #1, and CM should move from Room #2 to Room #3.
This is the riddle it reminds me of:
If there's a goat, a cabbage, and a wolf on one side of the river, and you have to get them all to the other side, but you can only take one at a time, and you can't leave the goat with the cabbage, or the wolf with the goat, how do you get all three across the river?

Yours is harder. The second one is easy.
(C)abbage, (G)oat, (W)olf
You must take G on the first trip. Then you drop G off, leaving WC on one side and G on the other.
On your second trip, take W with you. Exchange W for G and return to the original side.
On the third trip, take C with you. Deposit C with W and return empty handed.
On the fourth trip, bring G with you. You've now got C, G, and W all on the other side of the river.
Dear Fräulein de Corno
It's simple really... JK told JD he was moving out of House #1 and so in effect offered JD Room #3. JD said he would move into Room #3 in House #1 if CH and CM stayed in Rooms #1 and #2 respectively. However CM decided that if JK was to vacate Room #3, then he would have it. So, JD stays put in Casa de Mayo, and MT is able to move into Room #2. Now everyone's happy, except maybe for CM, who is never really happy with anything. I'd like there to be a moral to this story but there isn't.
The other riddle is pretty simple too. Roast the goat and eat it with the cabbage. Yummy. Crack open the bottle of Chilean red you happen to have with you. Than travel across the river with wolf.
The end of your riddle still leaves Room #1 of House #1 open. Why don't you just move to a house with six rooms?! You say there's only 5 people involved? Don't forget about me! ;) ;)
Trumpet man beat me to it but make sure your goat and wolf are bolemic, have the goat each the cabbage and the wolf eat the goat (in that order), take the wolf to the other side, put his paw down his throat and WALLAH! you have yourself all three (goat and cabbage only slightly gooed)
