Can a military officer leaving the military terminate their lease using the SCRA? The officer has no orders from the military to leave the area.

My daughter used her SCRA to break a lease even though her excuse wasn't technically legit the landlords accepted it anyway. I think they could give it a try.

This is basically what she went by

Q: What about the lease on my apartment?

You gave written notice to your landlord that you want to terminate your lease. You will still have to pay rent for a short while. Your landlord can charge your rent for 30 days after the date your next rent is due, after the date you give your written notice. Example: You give notice on 15 December. Your next rent is normally due 1 January. The landlord can make you pay rent until 31 January. The key is to get the written notice in the landlord's hands just as soon as possible.
