Read the first 7 Tenant Relations & Leasing flashcards as text

  1. An MRP agent's military client wants to lease out their own home while deployed overseas. What type of arrangement should the agent recommend?

    Answer: A fixed-term lease with a military clause allowing the owner to reclaim the property upon return from deployment

    A fixed-term lease with a military reclamation clause protects the servicemember-owner's right to recover their property when deployment ends.

  2. Under the SCRA, what interest rate cap applies to pre-service obligations such as a lease signed before entering active duty?

    Answer: 6% per annum

    While SCRA's 6% interest rate cap applies primarily to financial obligations like loans, the broader SCRA framework addresses pre-service obligations; lease-specific protections focus on termination rights rather than interest rates.

  3. What is the role of a Judge Advocate General (JAG) officer in military tenant-landlord disputes?

    Answer: JAG officers provide free legal advice and can represent servicemembers in certain civil matters

    JAG offices provide free legal assistance to servicemembers, including advice on lease disputes, SCRA rights, and representation in certain civil legal matters.

  4. Which scenario most clearly represents a violation of the Fair Housing Act in a military community context?

    Answer: A landlord refusing to rent to a family because they have three young children

    Refusing to rent to a family because of the presence of children constitutes familial status discrimination, which is prohibited under the Fair Housing Act.

  5. A property manager near a military installation wants to attract military tenants. Which lease feature would MOST appeal to servicemembers?

    Answer: A military clause allowing penalty-free termination upon receipt of qualifying orders

    A military clause is the single most attractive lease feature for servicemembers because it eliminates the financial risk of receiving unexpected relocation orders.

  6. When a servicemember uses SCRA to terminate a lease, what happens to any prepaid rent paid beyond the effective termination date?

    Answer: The landlord must refund any prepaid rent for periods beyond the SCRA termination date

    SCRA requires landlords to refund any rent paid in advance for periods after the effective termination date of the lease.

  7. What is the significance of the duty station zip code in housing searches for military relocations?

    Answer: It establishes the BAH rate, which directly affects how much the servicemember can afford in rent

    The duty station zip code is the geographic basis for calculating BAH rates, which directly determines the housing budget available to a relocating servicemember.
