I had a renter who signed a 1 year lease, and moved in at the end of April. Her boyfriend was in the miltary and signed the lease also. He said that the military will not pay for off base housing unless he was on the lease. They got married one month after they moved in. He got deployed overseas. She was happy untill we would not let her get a dog over 35 lbs. (which was in the lease agreement if she wanted a dog) By August she decided to use the military depolyment papers to break the lease and move back home. However, she did not move home, she moved 1 1/2 blocks away. Is this a legal move on her part? If is she liable for the rest of the lease?
thanks

Good news for Patti. The tenants signed the lease.Both are legally obligated to pay the lease.A lease agreement is a legally binding document.The referenced lease was not signed contingent upon the military paying or not paying.It was not guaranteed by the military either.Both parties are responsible to pay the lease.
If you leased a car, and decided after 8 months into the lease you not longer like it, you still are obligated to pay the balance of the lease.The same holds true for a rental lease agreement.
