Privatization does not affect the amount of BAH that is paid to the service member. Under the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, all service members choosing to live in privatized military housing receive their BAH and use the BAH to pay the privatized housing provider.

The government determines the service member's BAH based on the cost of similar rental property near the base, typical utilities, his/her rank and the typical cost of Renter's Insurance. An allotment from the service member's account is set up upon lease signing to pay rent.

BAH is an entitlement and is not counted as taxable income. However, it will be included in gross income. Programs based on an individual's gross income may be affected.

You must bring rent to the leasing office on the first of the month. Rent equals your BAH minus a utility allowance.

Each floor plan has a different price due to the utility allowance.

Both members will receive BAH. The senior member will receive it at the with-dependent rate, while the junior member will receive it at the without-dependent rate. Under current Department of Defense rules, only the senior member's BAH at the with-dependent rate will be used to calculate the rent amount, so the family can keep the BAH of the junior member.

The lease is a standard resident agreement used by all privatized military housing and conventional (civilian) rental properties. Residents are required to sign a lease in order to reside in housing.
