Roommate leaving for Army

[Account Closed]

Hey All

My roommate who happens to be my brother is leaving for the Army once he gets sworn in. I depend on his monthly rent to pay down the mortgage and other home improvements purchased on credit during the remodel.

My questions: If he had a lease signed with me from last August 2020 to July 21, 2021 (1 year) will the Army pay his portion of the lease?

Thanks to all in advance.

No, but federal law will tell you that he can walk from his lease without penalty by providing PCS orders. Take action before it's a problem. How long have you owned? Refinance and/or roommate!
