dont move in this place if you plan on pcsing or getting a place on post because you will not get prorated money back and it is a very big hassle to get all the paperwork done.

Most leases tell you outright that you can't break a lease to get base housing. Perhaps you should ask that next time you rent an apartment.

Military lease clauses can be written into a lease, yes, but they almost never include orders into base housing - and release clauses have to do with PCS or TDY orders, not moving from the apartment into base housing. Oh, and the STATES regulate this, not the fed govt, and in actuality very few states require these clauses in the lease. Next time do your research.

Guess what jackass...I did PCS and Im living in paradise now

The Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief act states that military is only required to give 30 days notice...therefore, if you give notice on the 15th, you are only required to pay rent thru the 15th of the following month. It doesn't matter how the lease is written...this act supersedes anything written into the lease. Regarding living on post - with the privatization of housing on post, they no longer give orders into housing. But...to the anonymous poster above...orders are orders...if you have a properly written military clause (never accept the one that is set into a lease...bring your own...get a good copy from JAG) you are entitled to get out of your lease if you get orders to post. Anonymous - federal rules may not override state regulations, but it is precisely because of this that The Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act was written - to protect the soldier from unnecessary fees and charges when they're given orders.
