Hi Asia. Does your lease not automatically renew on a month to month basis? If not, maybe there is some way your husband can renew it for you. You could also look into a POA and renew it on his behalf. As far as getting out of the lease early, you will be able to use the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) which enables you to end leases early due to military orders. Once your husband's PCS orders are cut, you should be able to get out of the lease without early termination fees or whatnot.
You can read about it here: http://www.military.com/benefits/military-legal-matters/scra/servic...
When my husband joined, we were able to give back a leased car with no repercussions with this law. We didn't want a car payment on a car for 6+ months of boot camp and A school, so we just turned it in. All we needed was his orders to boot camp. As long as the orders are issued after the lease is entered into, you should be fine.

What does your husband say about all this? Maybe the apartment complex could send him the renewal paperwork, he could sign it, and send it back? I always thought that if you didn't give notice that you are planning on moving out, they just assume that you're staying until you say otherwise.

Your husband arrived on the 25th right? Its not likely that he has started classes yet. Typically the first week to week and a half are all briefings, so I would guess that he will start next Thursday and be in class 210 - but definitely ask him to clarify :)

The only problem is my name isn't on the lease and I don't have POA and I think he has to be present for both! I feel like I'm drowning here
