Military members often face the challenge of being relocated to a new duty station. In such situations, they may wonder if their military orders can be used as a valid reason to terminate a lease agreement. The answer to the question “Can military orders get you out of a lease?” is **yes**. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) provides protections for military members that allow them to terminate a lease early without penalty in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n

The SCRA is a federal law that offers a range of protections to active duty service members and their families. One of the benefits of the SCRA is the ability to terminate a lease early without penalty if a service member receives military orders for a permanent change of station (PCS) or deployment for a period of 90 days or more.<\/p>\n

When a military member receives PCS orders or is deployed for an extended period, they can submit a written notice to their landlord along with a copy of their orders to terminate the lease early. The termination typically takes effect 30 days after the next rent payment date following the date the notice is delivered. This allows service members to fulfill their military obligations without being burdened by the financial obligations of a lease agreement.<\/p>\n
