BAH Tips for Fort Stewart Families
- BAH is tax-free. It's not counted as taxable income, which means your actual purchasing power is higher than the dollar amount suggests.
- Landlords value BAH tenants. Military members with BAH have predictable, government-backed income — making you a preferred applicant in this market.
- Request a military clause. All RE/MAX All American leases include a military clause, letting you break the lease penalty-free if you receive PCS orders.
- BAH is set to cover median housing costs. In most years it covers 100% of a median rental in the MHA — meaning you should find good options at or near your rate.
