DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

 
Publication of Housing Price Inflation Adjustment Under 50 U.S.C. 
App. Section 531

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. 
App. Section 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. Section 531 
(a)(1)(A)(ii) as of January 1, 2008, will be $2,831.13.

DATES: Effective Dates: January 1, 2008.

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

    Dated: January 30, 2008.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
