Military housing clause and breaking a lease?

My husband is in the Navy and we are getting ready to move to San Diego where he is stationed on the USS Nimitz and apparently the carrier will be undergoing a home port change at the end of the year.. We are looking for an apartment now but are unsure of how long to get the lease for and what my husband and I have learned is that the Navy's time line tends to be a guesstimate so we don't really know how many months to lease an apartment for.. Now I know that there is a military housing clause but does it have to be written in the lease? Do you have to pay the fees in order to break the lease if you use the military housing clause? Thanks for your help!Military housing clause and breaking a lease?
Are you looking to lease in San Diego? Or where you are now?



Regardless, you need to be upfront about your situation and consult your on-base military housing office for help. They should be able to really hold your hand and make sure that your landlord understands the situation and won't hassle you when you have to transfer.



Yes, you are most likely covered under Section 535 of the Service Member Civil Relief Act, but anything you can do to make it easier will make life so much better when the time comes to relocate.Military housing clause and breaking a lease?
they have some rule that they can't hold you responsible if the government sends you off. I had to provide a copy of my orders and they had no problem. it doesn't matter how long you have been there or how much is left on your lease. all money is fully refundable.Military housing clause and breaking a lease?
Ask any potential landlord for a Month to Month lease. That clause applies to your husband and not you.
