Are you planning on renting at an off base Apartment Complex?  If so, you will want to familiarize yourself with The RPP program and it's benefits when deciding where you choose to live.

Here are The Rental Partnership Program (RPP) Details Broken Down

The Rental Partnership Program (RPP) is an agreement between the Housing Services Center (HSC) and community housing landlords and is designed to provide service members with suitable and affordale off-base housing and in defraying some of the costs incurred by relocation.  Housing units which are offered in the RPP are evaluated.  Inspected and qualifed to meet the highest standards by Navy HSC.  The RPP is available to both families and unaccompanied service members.

Tenant Eligibility and Requirements

Generally, all full-time active duty service members married or single are eligible to participate in RPP:

  • Service member is required to have a minimum of six months to one-year left on End of Active Obligated Service (EAOS) and Projected Rotation Date (PRD).
  • If single, service member E-4 and below with less than 4 years of active duty, service member must have approval from their current command to live off-base and receive BAH signed by an E-7 or above with rank/rate clearly stated.

To get started with finding properties in the RPP, the service member should come to the HSC with their orders and most recent Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) to be properly counseled on their eligibility and requirements. RPP is available to all branches.

Benefits to the Tenant

The program offers service members special rental benefits which include:

  • Homes are inspected by our HSC's and pre-approved as suitable and affordable for military members.
  • Discount of 5% on rental rates.
  • Waived or reduced security deposit.
  • No administrative fee and application fee may not exceed $50.
  • Rent payment by allotment or automatic payment.
  • Lease cannot be denied to a service member due to a negative credit check (only a poor reference from a previous landlord).
