The OP wants to break her lease for a reason that really has nothing to do with the military. Hubby wasn't stationed in another city, he just wants to live in another city now that he is home. Therefore, no military clauses apply.
This is a lease break situation, not a military situation.
Idk really if there is a military clause in the lease but im pretty sure theres not... my name is the primary on the lease and i have a room mate thats been doing drugs around the kids with out my knowledge well i found out yesterday and left she can keep the apartment i dont care but i cant live there with her any longer not after finding out shes had drugs around the kids... my husband is in the army and just got back from deployment so im planning on moveing to colorado to be with him but i dont know how to go about getting out of my lease... any advise would be very helpful... im completely lost and i know i cant stay there anymore
thanks for the help in advance
There are good answer but I tell you what I told my Soldiers, go to JAG and have them see your contract, tell the situation and see what they tell you, take care.
I thought I post what my State has published regarding military renters...
Special Rules for Tenants in the Military: A servicemember may terminate (end) a lease any time after entering the military or after the date of the member's military orders. This right applies to a tenant who joins the military after signing a lease, and to a servicemember who signs a lease and then receives orders for a change of permanent station or deployment for at least 90 days.
The servicemember must give the landlord or the landlord's agent written notice of termination and a copy of the orders. The servicemember may personally deliver the notice to the landlord or agent, send the notice by private delivery service (such as FedEx or UPS), or send it by certified mail with return receipt requested. Proper termination relieves a servicemember's dependent, such as a spouse or child, of any obligation under the lease.
When rent is paid monthly, termination takes effect 30 days after the next rent due date that follows delivery of the notice. Rent must be paid on a prorated basis up to the date that the termination takes effect. If rent or lease amounts have been paid in advance for the period following the effective date of termination, the landlord must refund these amounts within 30 days after the effective date.
Anyone can get out of their lease early but not without paying for any damages that result. i.e. rent until the landlord can find a new tenant.
