My husband is currently deployed to Afghanistan and the home that we are currently living at is in poor conditions and location. We had found a house that we would love to move into. Can I break our lease with his deployment orders and my POA?

Under federal law, the soldiers and sailors act if your husband is in our military and he has been deployed oversees, he is entitled to end his current lease with your landlord without any recourse if he gives at least 30 days written notice of his deployment to Afghanistan to the landord. You can use your poa to end the lease with your landlord. Make sure you keep a copy of the written notice of termination of the lease for future reference.
