NOTICE TO VACATE DUE TO PCS OR DEPLOYMENT ORDERS

Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

Termination of Residential Leases. The SCRA allows individuals to break a lease when they go into active duty, if the

lease was entered into before going into active duty. Additionally, the act allows a Service Member to terminate a

residential lease entered into while in the military, if the member receives permanent change of station (PCS) orders or

orders to deploy for a period of not less than 90 days.

This protection covers "lease of premises occupied, or intended to be occupied, by a Service Member or a Service

Member's dependents for a residential, professional, business, agricultural, or similar purpose."

To break a lease under these provisions, the Service Member must make the request in writing, and must include a copy of

their orders (orders placing them on active duty, PCS orders, or deployment orders). The member may deliver the

notification by hand, by commercial carrier, or by mail (return receipt requested).

The termination date for a lease that requires monthly rent, the earliest termination date is 30 days after the first date on

which the next payment is due, following proper notification of termination of lease. For example, if Sgt John pays his rent

on the first of every month, and he notifies his landlord (and gives the landlord a copy of his orders), on the 18th of June,

that he wishes to terminate the lease under the provisions of the SCRA, the earliest termination date 1 August (the next rent

is due 1 July, and 30 days later is 1 August).

If it's some other arrangement, other than monthly rent, the earliest termination of the lease is the last day of the month,

following the month in which the notice is given. So, if notice is given on 20 June, the earliest termination date would be

31 July.
