Law 108-189, Section 301

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

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 301 of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act prevents a 
landlord, except by court order, from evicting a service member or the 
dependents of a service member, during a period of military service of 
the service member, from premises that are occupied or intended to be 
occupied primarily as a residence. In 2003, this section of the Act 
applied to monthly rents of $2,400 or less. The law adjusts this 
maximum amount annually to reflect inflation based upon the consumer 
price index, and Department of Defense is required to publish the new 
amount in the Federal Register within 60 days of the adjustment made 
for that year. This notice is published to notify readers of the new 
amount that will be in effect during calendar year 2004. As of January 
1, 2004, the maximum monthly rental amount in subsection 301(a), 
paragraph (1)(A)(ii), will be $2,465.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 8, 2004.
