My husband is military, we started to rent a place in Arizona, we now have to get out of the lease because he is going to go remote, which means he will be all over the state as the task force needs him. So he will not be able to keeo the rental. My husband had them put in the lease a military clause, but we are unable to produce any papers stating that he is going remote. They are verbal orders. I showed the landlord the line on his orders which states he can be moved anywhere in Arizona per task force needs, but he is saying that he needs something different from the original orders. Something that would state that he is unable to stay in the house because of a change. But my husbands base will not make new orders for something already stated. Please see the military clause I am attaching and tell me, is he right, or are we right, or what can we do? Please Help!
Any other provision of this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, at least thirty (30) days prior to the normal expiration of the term of this Lease as noted under the heading TERM OF LEASE above, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to surrender the residence at the expiration of the Lease term. If said written notice is not timely given, the Tenant shall become a month-to-month tenant as defined by applicable Arizona law, and all provisions of this Lease will remain in full force and effect, unless this Lease is extended or renewed for a specific term by written agreement of Landlord and Tenant.
If Tenant becomes a month-to-month tenant in the manner described above, Tenant must give a thirty (30) day written notice to the Landlord of Tenant’s intention to surrender the residence. At any time during a month-to-month tenancy Landlord may terminate the month-to-month Lease by serving Tenant with a written notice of termination, or by any other means allowed by applicable Arizona law. Upon termination, Tenant shall vacate the premises and deliver same unto Landlord on or before the expiration of the period of notice.
