If your husband has orders to go to Hawaii, how do you get out of your rental lease?

My husband has his orders from the U.S. Army to relocate to Hawaii, My daughter and I are going with him, I am the only one on my rental agreement(lease), they are saying I will still be responsible for the rent, until they rent it out again. Is that true?,Even though he has orders from the gov't?If your husband has orders to go to Hawaii, how do you get out of your rental lease?
Lots of b.s. answers on here so far.


Here is what you have to do......as long as his orders say accompanied tour, your covered. Take 2 sets of the orders showing a PCS move to the landlord and tell him that you are moving. The key here is the words accompanied tour, with that the landlord has no legal leg to stand on.


As one of the others that answered about the landlord is just trying to scare you in to turning over money to him, they are right.....happens all the time in military towns.


BTW, take another set of his orders to the base housing office and tell them whats happening, also a copy over to the JAG office. They will have any history on this landlord and if he's tried pulling this trick beforeIf your husband has orders to go to Hawaii, how do you get out of your rental lease?
Just get a copy of your orders and show the land lord. If he still insist that you pay him tell him to just sue you and watch him stop his BS. He knows there is nothing he can do to you so he is just trying to bluff you into paying him money that you do not owe. I retired from the military and i know what i'm talking about.
yes
Legally, you cannot get out of the lease unless your lease has a military clause allowing you to terminate early in case of calling to duty. If you are in the military, you should make sure you don't sign a lease without putting in such a clause. I'm assuming your lease doesn't have one, so there's not much you can do. Try to find a new tenant yourself so you can sublet or something.
While you may not qualify for the ';military clause'; since your husband is not on your lease, you could pursue the issue with the legal office at whatever post your are currently stationed at?





If the landlord rents to a majority of military it might be a bargaining point if they could be placed on a ';black list'; by the Post. If the landlord/management realizes that he may face financial ruin, they may be equitable in terminationg your lease without penalty. If you are dealing with a management company consider taking your issue to their superior(s)/corporate office for resolution.





Consider asking other tenants if they have had any ';issues'; with the landlord that have not been resolved. IE sanitation repairs not made or other safety issues (IE lead paint that was not disclosed/or asbestos exposure). It may be cheaper to release you from a contract then to face renovating an entire complex.





Good luck!
Yep true, would be different if He was on the lease! Sorry!
He's not on the lease, so the military clause was not invoked. It would be no different if you had to sell your house. I would start looking for a new tenant.
