I am in the Army and am leasing my house to another service member who is in the Air Force. My tenant notified me that he will be deploying and is breaking his lease, as covered in the Service Member’s Relief Act (SCRA). I was understanding of the situation and informed him that all I will require a formal notification and a copy of his orders (or letter from commander). He sent me his memo; however, it said that it his deployment was for 60 days or more. According to the SCRA, a deployment of 90 day is required. I informed my tenant and he turned around with another memo signed by the same E-5 stating the deployment was for more than 180 days. This seemed strange to me so I contacted the SJA. The SJA contact the commander of the 19th ASOS who said the deployment would be for greater that 180 days. I am inclined to believe them; however, I have been a member of companies where the commander told lies and was not entirely ethical when he thought he could not be implicated. My question is, how can I verify that the company commander is telling the truth about the deployment, or is it just his word against mine?
