SUMMARY: The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. 
App. Sec.  531, prohibits 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 $2,400 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 U.S.C. App. Sec.  531(a)(1)(A)(ii) as of 
January 1, 2006, will be $2,615.16.

effective DATE: January 1, 2006.
