A 30-day written notice is required before vacating quarters; notice should be given as soon as you are aware of your moving arrangements. In the case of deployment, PCS, etc. contact our office as soon as you are notified; we will assist you in the departure process.
Your spouse will need Power of Attorney in order to sign for quarters on post, start the allotment for BAH, and pay the prorated rent. Please make sure we have contact numbers for your spouse. Please also make sure your spouse knows how to contact and set up your transportation appointment.

Leasing
You are allowed to break your lease if you provide a 30-day written notice to vacate and a copy of the orders. Contact our office as soon as you receive orders; we will assist you in the departure process.

Yes, all residents are required to sign a lease to protect themselves as well as Buckley Family Housing.
If you move out before your lease expires, you are responsible for rent until your lease expires or a new resident moves in, whichever occurs first.
A divorce constitutes a change in eligibility; the service member/family must contact the leasing office to make arrangements. The service member and/or family may be required to vacate the home.

The lease is a standard resident agreement used by all privatized military housing and civilian rental properties. Residents are required to sign a lease in order to reside in housing. The lease specifies the rights and responsibilities of resident and Owner. The lease also sets the service member's BAH or market rent as the monthly payment to Buckley Family Housing.
Yes, a service member can request a move based on an increase in rank. The move is subject to housing availability and it will be at the service member's expense. Rent will be increased to match the increased BAH.

Payments
Both members receive BAH; the senior member receives the with-dependent rate, while the junior member receives the without-dependent rate. Under current Department of Defense rules, only the senior member's BAH at the with-dependent rate is used to calculate rent due. The family may keep the BAH of the junior member.
Rent includes all normal monthly expense for your home except electric and gas utilities.
Late fees apply for rent and all other charges that are not paid in a timely manner.
Your rent is the BAH you receive minus the Utility Allowance. BAH is based on rank and area of assignment, not on the size of the home.
Rent increases for a promotion and decreases for a demotion. Your rent is always the amount of the BAH you receive minus the Utility Allowance. It is your responsibility to notify the Buckley Family Housing Office within 5 days of promotion or demotion.
Residents may be evicted for non-payment, egregious acts, or failure to follow Community Policies. The Command will always be involved in all eviction proceedings.
BAH is an entitlement and is not counted as taxable income, it is, however, included in gross income. Programs based on an individual's gross income may be affected.
You may direct your questions to the Community Manager.
No. BAH rate protection will keep individuals from having reductions in housing allowances as long as they maintain "uninterrupted eligibility" for BAH. This means that if your duty assignment station, your rank, and your family status do not change, you will always receive the higher BAH amount.
A change in your duty assignment station, your rank, or your family status "interrupts your eligibility" for the allowance. If you are promoted or demoted your BAH will adjust as your rate protection changes for your new rank. If your dependency status changes your housing allowance will be adjust to the new status and the applicable current BAH rate.
Yes, rent is charged only for the days you occupy the home.
For Service Members in the Army, Navy, and Air Force, rent is paid by allotment. We utilize Military Assistance Corporation (MAC) to manage the allotment process. The BAH on your LES is an entitlement and is listed as a payment to Privatized Housing. The advantages of payment by Allotment are that (1) a Security Deposit is not required and (2) rent will be due in arrears. For example, BAH accrues in your account during January and January rent is due the 1st of February.
For Service Members in the Marines payment by allotment still applies but they must also complete an Allotment Form (DD Form 2558) and forward a copy to their finance administrator. We also require a copy of the form for our files.
For Service Members in the Coast Guard payment by allotment still applies but they must provide a completed Allotment Worksheet (CG PSC-2040) to their PERSRU Office to initiate rent allotment. We also require a copy of the PSC-2040 for our files.
Privatization has not changed the BAH amount, it simply allows service members living in privatized military housing to receive a BAH to pay a privatized housing provider. At Buckley Family Housing a monthly allotment payment from the service member's BAH is automatically transferred to us at the end of each month. This process is performed and monitored by Military Assistance Company, LLC (MAC), the world's largest processor of automatic payroll deductions for military and civil service employees.
Foreign students will pay rent monthly by check or money order made payable to Buckley Family Housing LLC
A service member's BAH is based on the cost of similar rental property near the base, typical utilities, his or her rank, and the typical cost of Renter's Insurance. An allotment from the service member's account is set up upon lease signing to pay rent to Buckley Family Housing.
Pets
The number of pets in a home is limited to two. Residents are required to complete a Pet Addendum with the lease agreement and provide proof of registration and vaccinations to the Buckley Family Housing Office. The following aggressive breeds are not permitted: Akita, Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Pit Bull, Rottweiler, American Staffordshire Terriers, English Stafford Terriers, Bull Terriers, Wolf Hybrids or any other breed with dominant traits geared toward aggression. You will be responsible for any pet damages. Exotic pets are not allowed.
