Office of the Secretary


Publication of Housing Price Inflation Adjustment

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. 
App. 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 dwellings with monthly rents of $2400 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 50 U.S.C. App. 531(a)(1)(A)(ii) 
is $2,975.54.

DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Colonel Shawn Shumake, Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, (703) 697-3387.

    Dated: July 29, 2011.
