PCS to Break Lease but Orders Look Suspicious
My tenant gave notice claiming a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) to Fort Cavazos.
Right after he moved out he requested a deposit refund via Venmo and when I checked his Venmo history I saw that he’s paying rent to a friend who lives just a few streets over from my rental. His forwarding address is also the same as his friend.
Fort Cavazos is only about 1 hour away so it seems odd that he would move out entirely rather than commute especially when he appears to still be living nearby.
I showed the orders to an Army friend who pointed out that:
- The orders do not include the Army seal
They are not signed which he says is normally required
I’m not trying to be difficult but it feels like someone trying to break a lease early to save money by moving in with a friend.
Has anyone dealt with possibly fake PCS?
I’ve contacted the Fort Cavazos MPD to try to verify the assignment but I’m still documenting everything just in case
