Publication of Housing Price Inflation Adjustment Under 50 U.S.C. App. § 531

AGENCY:

DoD, Office of the Under Secretary (Personnel and Readiness).

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. App. § 531, prevents a landlord from evicting a service member (or the service member's family) from a residence during a period of military service except by court order. The law as originally passed by Congress applied to monthly rents of $2400 or less. The law requires the Department of Defense to adjust this amount annually to reflect inflation, and to publish the new amount in the Federal Register . We have applied the inflation index required by the statute: the maximum monthly rental amount for 50 U.S.C. App. § 531 (a)(1)(A)(ii) will be $2534.32 as of January 1, 2005.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

January 1, 2005.
