#  Publication of Housing Price Inflation Adjustment Under 50 U.S.C. App. Section 531

**AGENCY:**

DoD, Office of the Under Secretary (Personnel and Readiness).

**ACTION:**

Notice.

**SUMMARY:**

The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. App. Section 531, prohibits a landlord from evicting a Service member (or the Service member's family) from a residence during a period of military service except by court order. The law as originally passed by Congress applied to dwellings with monthly rents of $2400 or less. The law requires the Department of Defense to adjust this amount annually to reflect inflation, and to publish the new amount in the *Federal Register* . We have applied the inflation index required by the statute. The maximum monthly rental amount for 50 U.S.C. App. Section 531 (a)(1)(A)(ii) as of January 1, 2008, will be $2,831.13.

**DATES:**

*Effective Dates:* January 1, 2008.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Colonel S. Shumake, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, (703) 697-3387.

Dated: January 30, 2008.
