Tenants and owners are both interested in and worried about what happens when a member of the military gets orders and needs to move. If you are a tenant, this is especially worrisome because you don’t want to break a lease.
Members of the military who rent properties need to make sure there is a military clause in the rental agreement. This type of clause will give you permission to break your lease if you get PCS order or you face deployment. In these situations, you will still need to give 20 days’ notice to your landlord. When you are able to provide notice as well as documentation, you can move out of your property without any penalty for doing so before the end of the lease term.
At Capital Properties, we have military clauses in all our leases which are designed to protect both the tenant and the property owner. As long as you are able to give your landlord 20 days’ notice before rent is due for a new month, you’ll be able to leave the property. This type of clause is not meant to allow you to move into a different property or home while on post. You need to have those PCS orders or orders for deployment in order to make the military clause valid.
Whether you’re an owner or a tenant, if you have concerns about your military orders or you need more information about military clauses in rental agreements, please contact us at Capital Properties, and we would be happy to help you.
