Off Post Housing Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to know about security deposits before signing a lease? Make sure you and the landlord agree on the pre-occupancy condition of the rental unit. Get a complete list of any existing damages to the unit signed by you and landlord for your record. Check the unit to make sure the list is correct. Add any damages you may find regardless of how small. When you move out this list will determine what damages you may have to pay from your deposit. Must the landlord refund my security deposit I gave to hold unit if I decide I do not want the unit? No, the landlord does not have to refund this deposit unless otherwise agreed upon by you and the landlord. The purpose of this deposit was to have the landlord take the property off the market. For this reason, it is usually not refundable. I just received Deployment Orders. Can I terminate my lease before I depart? Yes, under North Carolina law, you can terminate your lease if the orders are in excess of 3 months. You will be responsible for only 30 days rent after the date you provide the landlord with written notice and proof of assignment. Remember, you are liable for any damages you caused to unit above normal wear and tear. My roommate and I both signed a lease but she has moved out. Can I get out of the lease? Generally, if you signed a lease with your roommate, the landlord can hold each of you liable for the rent, depending on how the lease is set up. You may want to contact the landlord and agree to pay a portion of the charges to be released from liability for the entire amount. If I am stationed at Fort Bragg but choose to live outside the Fayetteville area will I receive the BAH for the area I live in? No, BAH is based on where the Soldier is stationed, not where they live. Are there any Off limit Landlords? Currently, there is a list of Off Limit landlords, please contact the HSO for the most updated and current information regarding Off limit Landlords/Establishments. When do I need to get my DA-31 (leave form) stamped for Permissive TDY? Soldiers on Permissive TDY for house hunting MUST report to the HSO on the FIRST DAY of PTDY to receive the housing stamp and date. If the leave form is not properly stamped and dated by the HSO, finance will charge you regular leave instead of PTDY. How do I get a list of available rentals in the area? Please visit for available rental listings in the surrounding area. What are the best schools in the area? Please visit

3. When possible, obtain complaint in writing from aggrieved parties
Housing Availability The communities surrounding Fort Bragg offer various types of housing for rent or sale. The Off Post Housing Services Office maintains a referral listing with detailed information on many of them. Types range from single family dwellings (houses) to multi-family units such as apartments, condos, townhouses, duplexes and mobile homes. The cost to rent or purchase will vary based on size and amenities included. Finding a place to live quickly will depend on your family composition and what you can afford to pay. Finding a Place to Live Check the rental unit thoroughly first to determine if it is adequate for your family composition and needs. When you submit an application to rent a unit, expect to pay a non-refundable screening fee. This will be used to check your past rental and credit history. Also, you may be asked to post a security deposit which is normally paid before you move into the unit. The amount varies from fifty dollars up to the equivalent of one month's rent. Pets Many landlords will not accept pets. Therefore, if you have a pet, you will have fewer rental selections. Landlords that do accept pets will often specify the number and size they will allow. Expect to pay a non-refundable pet deposit which is normally used to professionally sanitize the unit after you vacate. The average pet deposit per pet is $ $ Handicapped-Accessible Units There are some landlords who will make minor adjustments in designated units to meet the needs of disabled persons. A landlord may not refuse to let you make reasonable modifications to your unit, at your expense, if necessary for a disabled person. However, where reasonable, the landlord may permit changes only if you agree to restored the unit to its original condition when you move. Legal Questions? Fort Bragg Legal Services Lease Contracts A lease is a legal contract. When you sign a lease, you assume many legal obligations. What legal obligations you incur depends entirely on the provisions of your lease. It is important that you read and understand your lease. If you have any doubts about signing the lease, take it to Housing Services Office or the Legal Assistance Office for review. If you break your lease, it can cost you money. Before deciding to sign or break a lease, have it reviewed first! Military Clause Ensure that a military clause is inserted into your lease. The military clause is a provision in the lease that let military tenants end a lease prematurely for reasons connected with their military service. North Carolina law requires that if a tenant on active duty with the military receives either permanent change of station (PCS) orders or temporary duty (TDY) orders for a period in excess of 3 months, the tenant is liable for no more than 30 days rent after written notice and proof of assignment are given to the landlord. TIP: Do not allow a landlord to promise anything orally. Get all promises in writing as an addition to your lease. TIP: If you are still in your lease when you are selected for on post housing, your name will remain at the top of the waiting list so you can complete your agreement and prevent loss of rent and deposit. Security Deposits You may be required to pay a security deposit along with first month's rent for the unit you select. As a tenant you have the right to inspect the premises to determine the condition of the unit. Refunds of Security Deposits A landlord must return your security deposit within 30 days after termination of the lease or surrender and acceptance of the premises, whichever occurs later. If the landlord is retaining all or part of the security deposit, a written statement specifying the exact reason why the security deposit is being retained must be provided to you. North Carolina law permits a landlord to retain the security deposit for nonpayment of rent, fees for late payment, abandonment of the premises, nonpayment of utility charges, repair work or cleaning contracted for by the tenant with third parties and actual damages caused by the tenant's breach of the lease or rental agreement. A landlord cannot retain a security deposit to cover normal wear and tear on the premises. TIP: Before signing a lease or rental agreement, ensure that disposition of the security deposit is spelled out in plain language. If you do not understand the terms and conditions, take the lease to Housing Services Office or the Legal Assistance Office for review and interpretation before you sign. TIP: Don't expect to get your security deposit back just because you think you left the place cleaner than it was when you moved in. Use the move-in/move-out inspection checklist to support your claim. TIP: If you dispute the accuracy of the landlord's damage findings and the landlord still deducts from your security deposit, you may bring action to recover any portion that is wrongfully withheld. Contact Housing Services Office for assistance. Inspections and Repair of Rental Properties Move-In Inspection Take inventory of the furniture, fixtures and appliances. Ensure that you make careful inspection of the premises in the company of the landlord or the property manager, noting all discrepancies in writing regardless of how small. The inspection inventory should then be signed and dated by both parties. The current landlord or manager may not be the same one when you move. The new landlord or manager should be appraised of any damages or other problem areas. TIP: Common discrepancies that fail to be noted are broken tiles, broken shingles, cracks in the wall or ceiling, faulty doors and door locks, leaky faucets and the heating and cooling system. Move-Out Inspection Most leases will require that you give the landlord a written 30 days notice of your intent to move prior to the end of your lease. Protect yourself and have your landlord sign your move-out notice to prove that he or she has been notified of your intentions and keep a copy for reference. Make arrangements with the landlord or manager to conduct a move-out inspection of your rental unit. It is very important to finish moving and turn in the keys by the end of the rental period. If not, you may be liable for the next month's rent. Tip: Make sure the electricity in unit stays on until out-inspection is completed. If you turn electricity off before the inspection is completed, landlord will charge you to have it cut back on. Repairs The landlord is required by law to keep the premises in a good state of repair. Keep requests in writing for repair of items that do not function properly. Any failure by the landlord to make repairs after receiving written notice may entitle you to set off against the rent reasonable expense of making repairs. Consult with Housing Services Office or Legal Assistance Office first. Tip: You must let your landlord know first that you need repairs. Allow a reasonable amount of time for repairs to be made. Remember that your landlord is not responsible for damages you, your family, guests or visitors cause to the premises. Renter's Insurance Every prospective military tenant should ask about Renter's Insurance. If the landlord is to provide insurance coverage, inquire into the specific coverage of the policy. Remember, if the policy does not cover your household goods and personal belongings, you cannot collect damages from the landlord's insurance company in the event of a loss. You should consider, for your own protection, obtaining your own insurance coverage by purchasing a homeowner's policy designed for a renting tenant. This not only gives protection for certain damages you may cause to your landlord's property, but it will cover your household goods and other belongings. Tenant/Landlord Disputes Complaints of any nature concerning off-post housing, received from military personnel or from owners, landlords, agents and managers must be investigated for validity by the Housing Services Office. Housing Services Office will then: Obtain full and complete information from each party concerned and evaluate the circumstances impartially
When possible, obtain complaint in writing from aggrieved parties
Conduct a preliminary investigation
Attempt to resolve the complaint
When complaints are of a serious nature, Housing Services Office will notify the commander of the person involved. The commander may take appropriate action as dictated by circumstances to assist Housing Services Office in resolving the complaint.
Standard of Conduct Military personnel and their dependents occupying off-post housing must abide by local, state laws and ordinances, complete all contractual obligations and extend respect towards local citizens and their property. These reminders will help in maintaining good tenant and landlord relationships, and contribute to the continued acceptance and appreciation of military personnel and their dependents by local communities: Pay your rent and other fees when due
Conserve utilities
Keep dwelling clean and in neat order
Control your children and pets
Wear proper attire while outdoors

Short Term Lodging Off Post
Occasionally, you may need short-term lodging to bridge the period between your arrival to Fort Bragg and your permanent home becoming available. When this happens and the wait period is more than a few days, it may be more economical to commit to a short-term lease than to stay in a hotel. The Housing Services Office maintains a list of apartment style rentals that meet minimum housing adequacy standards, allow for shorter lease periods, and rent for considerably less than hotel rates. The properties are generally convenient to post, many allow pets, are furnished, and include utilities.
