Military Clause - Addendum

Include a Military Clause in Your Lease

It is strongly recommended that you include into your rental or

lease agreement, a military clause. Contrary to popular belief,

the Soldiers and Sailors' Civil Relief Act DOES NOT help you

break a lease when receiving transfer orders. You must have a

provision in your rental agreement to release you from your

obligations in the event you need to terminate your lease prior to

its normal expiration. Attached is a military clause that you can

incorporate into your rental agreement. Be sure to indicate on

your lease, in the appropriate place, to see the attached military

clause. Though the sample clause only requires 30 days notice,

you will be better protected if you provide written notice and

retain a copy of that notice. If you have any questions regarding

landlord-tenant issues, leases, or other personal legal assistance

matters, please contact the local housing officer for you’re

nearest military legal office for assistance.
