Can I get evicted while husband is in boot camp!?
My husband is in US Navy boot camp.. He's been there a month and we still have not recieved his first paycheck. (pay day= 1st & 15th)The recruiters said AFTER he left that I probably won't get the check until the 15h of this month.. My rent's due tomorrow. I'm in college, and working part time, i have NO money to pay rent.
I went in and talked to my apt. manager today and explained the situation, and she said they still have to issue us an eviction notice on the 8th, and our paying rent late will go on our record. And we are also getting a late fee, (which is normal when you pay it late..) And if I don't pay it before the 20th of this month, ill be getting evicted.

Is there any kind of law or ANYTHING that can prevent us getting evicted, because he's in the away in military? Its just sooo unfair because they take FOREVERRR to issue pay I guess! I can't even talk to him either, only through letters. Its so frusterating. If you know anything, it would help a ton. Thank you so

Welcome to the oxymoron known as "government organization," things don't move quickly with the military. I have a daughter and son in law and the Army, step-son and his wife in the Navy.

The best advice I can give is to not rely on it to come in, and ring up family for a loan for a few days. I know you hate the idea, who doesn't. But it's just a few days.

Look into those "payday check loan" companies in your area. The interest rate is ridiculously expensive, so it's something you want to pay off as soon as possible, as soon as you get a check get in there and re-pay it. If you walk in there with documents demonstrating when he will get paid, you will walk out with a check.

Lastly, issuing an eviction notice usually does NOT mean you're in the street immediately. In most states an eviction can't be enforced for 30 days. I know this is no consolation but it's something.

While you are looking into the legalities of an actual eviction, also look at the problems it creates for the land owner. There is work and trouble for anyone filing any sort of legal action - maybe you can arm yourself with this information, go back to the manager, and say "look, here's what you'll be dealing with if you file an eviction, we can skip all that if you just wait 10 days."

Best of luck and hang in there, military wives often carry a heavy load.

There are no laws stating that the landlord has to provide you with free housing out of his own pocket because your husband is in the military. You have to pay your bills just like everyone else.

The only special rental law that applies to you is that you can get out of a lease if your husband is transferred to another location.

Since you are confident that you will be able to pay rent soon take your wedding ring, or other valuable to the pawn shop and get the cash you need to pay your rent w/o it effecting your credit.

Typical. Die now, we pay you later.

Military renting laws basically prohibit one from being held to a lease if one is reassigned in a distant location due to military orders.

However, there is nothing in law of which I am aware which will save you from eviction if you don't pay the rents.

Navy has programs to help people in your situation.. have your husband talk to his drill instructor.

As for the law.. I work for a company that researches state laws.. I will ask her your question and get back with you tomorrow

No, military families don't get any special benefits when it comes to paying bills.

The 15th of December is a Saturday, so he'll be getting his pay direct deposited into whatever account he designated on Friday, the 14th. The funds will become available immediately. If you have a checkbook or ATM card for this account, I'm not seeing how it would be a problem to get your rent paid before the 20th. That's almost a week.


Expert Realtor
YES YOU CAN!

There is NO LAW in the USA that states you cannot be evicted just because your husband is in the military. What is wrong with YOU working more hours to help out?

The law that protects military personnel ONLY applies relocation.

I suggest you turn problems into solutions.

Go talk to the Family Support Center at the base. They'll help.

Well I'm not familiar with any other state laws but in texas theres no law that allows you to not pay your rent because you have no money, regardless of the circumstances. Your best bet I would say is to let them know why and tell them when you can expect the payment, they SHOULD appreciate your honesty and respect and allow you to stay until you have the money for the people that collect your rent.

If this isn't your first time being late on your rent they might not be so leniant towards your situation.

Never the less you signed a contract and you agreed to pay the rent on the X day of every month I assume and thats what the law will expect you to do.


ALSO: An eviction notice is just to cover their butt's so they can get you out sooner if you don't follow through with your word.

Have hubby talk to his drill instructor and then his battalion (or whatever the salty-sea-squids call them) First-Sergeant. Tell them the rent ain't gettin paid and they'll be compelled to help him, even if a pay advance is in order.

In the military, not paying your bills is consider a breach of national security (thinking that Al-Qaeda could bribe your hubby since he's broke) so they have people who will help look after his financial issues while he's doing the get-up-get-down thing (do salty sea hands do push-ups?).

Good luck.
