Q: Okay long story short. I signed a year lease last year in August. My one year lease is up August 17th my wife and I got
A house on base which is 15 miles away. I gave a proper 32 day notice stating we was gonna fulfill our lease but not resign. Apparently they said they needed a 60 day notice. Not sure what I can do so I’m not charged the month to month rate fee in September. On base housing takes away my Basic housing allowance the army give me to pay my rent August in which my lease is up but they said they needed a 60 day notice instead of a 30 day notice.
A: You may have rights under the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act, if you are active duty. You should look up that Act online and see what rights you have.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: Unless you sign a new lease, the landlord can probably charge you up to 60 days rent (two months), which is the normal penalty for not telling them you were not going to stay another year.
