My husband is in the military. We found an apartment we like and the agent informed us that they will not sign the military clause because it is already in Virginia's state statute. I just was wondering if anyone can confirm that this is true. Thanks.

In a situation that has consequences like this, I would not take anyone's word for it. Ask the rental agent to provide you with a copy of the state statute and have them initial your copy. I was in the military for 5 yrs. and I ran across some "shady" rental agents that would not hesitate to tell you what you wanted to hear and deny it later.
This is true in any situation. Unfortunately, the day of accepting someone's word or doing business on a hand-shake is gone. You need to protect yourself.

The landlord/management is correct. Virginia landlord/tenant law already covers early termination issues for those in the military. (Virginia Statutes S 55-248.21:1). You are advised to read the criteria required to be eligible for early termination of any lease under this statute. It may differ from what you are expecting.
I suspect that the management is refusing to sign any other additional military clause so that they know what they are obligated to do under law. Think of it from their perspective. If they have two hundred military clients and two hundred different military clauses with which to deal, it can get quite confusing. By defaulting to the law, their obligation is automatically the same for all tenants involved.

E-one million, E-2 etc via E-9. then you incredibly've WO-one million, WO-2 and WO-3. After that, you have O-one million, O-2 etc via O-10.

Then the WO's or warrant officers, yet there are not any interior the Air stress, was once, yet not any further. The for officers, you have 2d Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, substantial, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier ordinary, substantial ordinary, Lieutenant ordinary, and ultimately ordinary. each and each branch of the militia has their very own names for each paygrade, however the paygrades are each and each of the comparable.

I believe you are protected by federal law, Soldier Sailor Act. The way I have heard people try to get around it is if you both sign the lease or contract they try to hold the spouse to the contract.

I would get it in writing. If this is true it should still be stated in your lease somewhere. Find out if it allows you to get out of the lease if your husband deploys or if it is only for PCS moves.
