It's going to be a matter of policy. Maybe the
backend database has some notion of whether a
move is permanent or temporary, and this can
be specified by the user when they enter their
new location.
As a vague aside: I would perhaps not place
_too_ much credence in specific response codes.
Yes, 301 and 302 do have quite nicely defined
semantics in bis-03, but it's the class (3xx)
that is really important; anything else typically
degenerates to a hint. Thus, if you didn't
know better, I certainly wouldn't consider 300
inappropriate (I've always considered the
default Reason Phrase for 300 [Multiple Choices]
somewhat unfortunate).
