LEASING STATEMENT

 

We care about you and your family’s housing situation. To best serve all of our customers it is important that you read and understand the following:

1. NORTH HAVEN maintains 2 Wait Lists: 

Fort Wainwright Wait List serves all of the Fort Wainwright Communities. 
Fort Greely Wait List serves all of Fort Greely. 

Service Members can only be on 1 Wait List based on their duty assignment location.  Housing is offered as it becomes available and sometimes this may not match the Service Member’s desired community of choice.

2. Service Members who apply for family housing are offered a house as it becomes available. Service Members who decline this offer will go to the bottom of the Wait List with the declining date as their new eligibility date.

When the Service Member’s name again reaches the level in which housing is offered for a second time and declines the second offer, their name will be removed from the Wait List for a minimum of six months.

After the six month period, the Service Member may contact the Leasing Office to be reinstated on the Wait List. Any request to be reinstated on the Wait List before six months must be submitted in writing and processed through the NORTH HAVEN Leasing Office.

The Service Member can request at any time to be removed from the Waitlist. If the Service Member requests to be reinstated in this situation, his/her eligibility date will be on the day NORTH HAVEN Leasing Office is notified by the Service Member in writing.

3. When housing becomes available, it is offered to the Service Member based upon their eligibility date. Those with more eligibility time will have higher precedence except for Key & Essential Personnel and priority medical cases. If you are currently bound by a lease agreement in the local civilian community; these leases are factored in when housing is offered. If you are unavailable to accept housing due to a lease, you will be passed over without penalty.
4. Service Members and the family who are on EFMP status must notify NORTH HAVEN at the time they in-process for housing.  Supporting documents should be produced at this time to qualify them for EFMP homes. 
5. Service members will have the option to pre-lease a home that is on notice to vacate.  Service member will accept the home ‘sight unseen’ and a move in date will be scheduled within 2 weeks of the home becoming vacant.
6. Service Members, who are purchasing a home or seeking off-post rental can get information on the local community from the HSO office.
7. Service members currently residing off post and requesting to move on post must ensure they provide adequate notice to their landlord in a timely manner.  NORTH HAVEN will hold a house vacant for no more than two weeks to accommodate the move in date.
8. Loaner Furniture is available for on-post residents only.
9. The Service Member or his/her spouse with RCI-Special Power of Attorney / Military Affairs Special Power of Attorney may sign the lease.
