The guidance includes templates for requesting lease terminations, rent pauses and order amendments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLandlords are not required by law to either terminate a lease or suspend rent payments based on the Department of Defense stop-movement order,\u201d according to the G-1\u2032s message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If landlords don\u2019t accommodate those requests, soldiers should go to their installation\u2019s legal office, who will in turn coordinate issuing new orders with a later report date if warranted, according to the guidance. In most cases, Army Human Resources Command has already adjusted orders, but if not, soldiers can submit requests through their chain of command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLegal assistance attorneys can present these later orders to the landlord to cancel the lease obligation consistent with the [Service Member Civil Relief Act],\u201d the G-1\u2032s guidance reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Service Member Civil Relief Act allows troops to terminate their lease agreement with permanent-change-of-station or deployment orders that exceed 90 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2020\/04\/08\/pentagon-says-stop-loss-order-is-unlikely-but-is-an-option-if-needed\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/recruit-.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Pentagon says \u2018Stop Loss\u2019 order is unlikely \u2014 but is an option if needed<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Current efforts to get service members to voluntarily extend their contracts may not be enough, the Pentagon says.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers should try not to end their current leases until the Army lifts the stop-movement order or they receive an exception to policy that allows them to proceed with the move. Despite exceptions to policy being rare, they <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rickdicksonreal\/status\/1250082179499032578\" target=_blank>have been granted<\/a> under some circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army advised soldiers to ask landlords to extend their current leases until they\u2019re authorized to PCS, because there\u2019s no legal requirement for a landlord to re-lease a property to an existing tenant, said Melissa Halsey, legal assistance policy division chief for the Army judge advocate general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are suggesting service members contact their landlords directly and explain their situation,\u201d Halsey said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/234456?a\" target=_blank>news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers should notify their chain of command if they already terminated their lease in preparation for a move and if their landlord refuses to let them continue to occupy the property, Halsey added. In cases like that, soldiers may be able to do a short-distance move with their household goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf soldiers cancel their lease under the [Service Member Civil Relief Act], there is no mechanism to require a lease holder to re-lease the premises or vehicle, or to allow the soldiers and their families to retain their belongings on the premises after the effective termination date,&#8221; the G-1 guidance reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some soldiers and families, remaining at their current location could be the best decision. In cases like that, the Army is also allowing soldiers to stabilize at their current assignment rather than wait for the stop-movement order to be lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army personnel can also apply for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/03\/19\/soldiers-can-apply-for-hardship-isolation-allowance-if-impacted-by-stop-move-policy\/\" target=_blank>hardship pay<\/a> if they\u2019ve been impacted by the Pentagon\u2019s stop-movement order. Hardship pay allows for $100 per day, not to exceed $1,500 per month, to defray a soldier and their family\u2019s costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Landlords aren&#8217;t
