SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The SCRA, as codified at 50 U.S.C. 3951, 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 $2,400 or less. The SCRA requires the Secretary of Defense to adjust this amount annually to reflect inflation and to publish the new amount in the Federal Register . Applying the housing price inflation adjustment for 2024, the maximum monthly rental amount for 50 U.S.C. 3951(a)(1)(A)(2) as of January 1, 2024, is $9,812.12.
