What this benefit is

The state landlord and tenant title contains no provision letting a tenant end a lease on military orders. Read end to end, Title 41 does not use the words military, armed forces, National Guard, active duty or deployment anywhere.

Who is entitled to it

  • This record is about the servicemember tenant.
  • Your home is in Oklahoma.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Do not go looking for a state statute. The whole landlord and tenant title was read this session and it contains no military provision at all.
  2. 2Use the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act instead — it is the route, and it is a strong one.
  3. 3Get the notice and the orders to the landlord in writing, and keep proof of delivery. Under the federal Act the timing runs from that notice.
  4. 4Raise it with a legal assistance office on your installation before you sign anything the landlord offers as an alternative.
  5. 5A lease clause that promises a state-law right, or that charges a fee for a military termination, is worth showing to a lawyer.

CorrectionGuides regularly describe a state lease-termination right for servicemembers here. There is none. Everything they describe is the federal Act, restated.
Known gapThis record covers only the landlord and tenant title. It is not a statement about vehicle leases, gym or telecoms contracts, or a state civil-relief act sitting elsewhere in the statutes — none of which were read this session.

Sources

Why only one source type: An absence is established by reading the whole of the act that would contain it. The complete title was read this session; no second source can establish a silence better than the text itself.
