Military tenant receiving BAH doesn't pay rent (pre-covid)

[Angelo Aguirre]

Hey BP, 

I know literally everyone is having rental collection issues or at least has heard of someone having issues. I'm curious if anyone has came across this issue: a US Military tenant, on orders serving a local military base, who receives a government stipend, Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), but still does not pay rent. This stipend is +$200 after paying rent. Covid or No Covid (this issue began way before covid), what happens when someone receives such stipend from the US government but does not use it for that purpose? Does the military track rental status, on-time V delinquency, of its members there on orders? Does it have any requirements of living status of its members? 

Thanks for any help!

Just contact his command. They will take care of this immediately.

I doubt he is ever late again after they reprimand him.
