My husband received assignment somewhere else and so we had to break our lease early, and the apartment / rental company that leases the property said they needed to have a copy of my husband's orders and that he could not just show them to the management.
Is this legal?

Yes... under the Soldiers and Sailors relief act you are entitled to end a lease early, however, you must provide your complex with a copy of deployment orders. Be sure to obtain something in writing that the lease was terminated or they might try to collect on a debt that you should have been out of.

If the orders are the reason you are breaking the lease, they need copies to prove you actually HAVE military orders. If not, anyone wanting out of a lease could just claim they had enlisted and were heading to basic training.

I believe most military men would side with the people of their country (citizens) and protect them with their lives from harm. Even if the government ordered the army to take over the country and confiscate guns and enslave the population, I don't believe that the army men would follow those orders. They'd protect the citizens from the government. I think a lot would still do whatever the government told them to, but most wouldn't. Most military personal are not a bunch of fascist tyrants like the officials you see today, Who want to ban guns and invade privacy.

Absolutely. You should expect to provide evidence when breaking a lease (or any other contractual obligation) due to military orders.
I would redact the SSN on the copy.

In order to break your contract with the apartment it is legal.

Of course it's legal. If it wasn't, you could easily pay off the manager to say you had the right papers.

Perfectly legal and unless you lied you should have no problem providing that information.
