Under the Soldier's and Sailor's Relief Act if you get transfer orders you can legally end your lease with your landlord without recourse. However, your boyfriend cannot end the same lease for the simple reason that he is not married to you. If you and he are married then he would be allowed to end the lease with the landlord without recourse.The way the statute is written, it applies to military personnel and their spouses. One option if he wants to move from the rental if you get transfer orders is to try and sub-lease the balance of the time left on the lease.
