One Clause Your
Lease Must Have! When you enter into a lease
agreement, be sure your lease has a military clause in it. This clause
differs from state to state but generally allows you to break your lease
under certain conditions because your soldier is in the military. Typical clauses allow you to
terminate your lease without penalty if any of the following occur: 1 – Your soldier receives a temporary duty assignment outside of the area for 60 days or more 2 – He separates from the military (ETS) 3 – He is killed in action or missing in action 4 – He receives orders for
a permanent change of station Some landlords will let you
add a clause that allows you to break the lease if you are offered
military housing but this is uncommon. Be sure that the military
clause covers everyone who signs the lease. Some couples have run into
problems when the landlord only let the military person out of the lease
and would not let the Army spouse out of it. Be sure it is explicitly
stated that the entire lease is cancelled and not just that the military
service person is covered by the clause. Most military clauses will require you to give a 30 day written notice. If you do this, you should be able to break your lease without penalty under the circumstances listed here. Be aware that if your lease requires certain things must be done when you move out (such as having the carpet cleaned), this is still required. The military clause does not exempt that requirement.
