Paying Rent for Privatized Housing
Similar to living in the local community, you will sign a tenant lease agreement, typically for a one-year term. Your lease includes a military clause and a lease termination clause. You pay your monthly rent by authorizing an allotment of your BAH that is paid directly to the Property Manager. If your move occurs prior to the allotment start date, then you will need to pay the pro-rated rent directly to the Property Manager. The Tenant Lease Agreement spells out all relevant rent payment terms and conditions.
Gas and Electric Utilities
At this location, not all of the homes in the community are metered. The rent includes all utility costs up to the full BAH amount. Contact the Property Management Office for more information.
Personal Property Insurance
You need to obtain legal liability and personal property insurance for your possessions and should choose the options and amounts that best fit your needs and lifestyle.
Balfour Beatty Communities provides $20,000 personal property coverage with a $250 deductible and $100,000 liability insurance for every home upon application of the resident. Residents should augment the insurance provided to ensure that adequate coverage is provided for all personal property. A coverage sheet is provided to each family describing the terms, limits, and conditions of the policy and coverage.
