Rental Agreement Planning for Military PCS Moves
PCS moves can involve rapid relocation, changing report dates and temporary housing before a longer-term home is secured.
Recommended lease, roommate and sublease paths
What to put in writing
- Orders and occupancy dates
- Required military clauses or notices
- Move-in condition and inventory
- Deployment or relocation communication
- Current federal and state protections
Timing and legal review
Do not waive or summarize servicemember protections in a generic form; verify current federal, state and lease requirements.
General information only, not legal advice. Verify the master lease, property rules, landlord consent requirements, and current state and local law before signing or accepting payment.
Nationwide and multilingual resources
Use the property’s state and locality—not the worker’s employer, school or home state—to review the rental rules that may apply.
