Additional Protections: Evictions

The SCRA also provides in most instances that a landlord cannot evict a servicemember or dependants from a primary residence without a court order. In an
eviction proceeding, the court may also adjust the lease obligations to protect the interests of the parties. If the court stay the eviction proceeding, it may provide equitable relief to the landlord by ordering garnishment of a portion of the servicemember's pay. Under the SCRA a servicemember may terminate residential leases if he or she is transferred after the lease is made.
