While protecting military members is popular, most bills introduced in the Senate never make it to a full vote before the session ends.
Key Points
This bill stops people from using state laws to take over homes owned by military members while they are away on duty. It changes federal law to make sure that the time a person spends serving in the military does not count toward the time a squatter needs to claim ownership of a property.
Military members often have to leave their homes for long periods of time for training or deployment. This bill protects them from losing their property to people who move in without permission while the owner is serving the country.
The Department of Veterans Affairs would have 45 days to update its website with new tools for service members. These resources will explain how to keep a home safe while away, how to handle leases, and what rights they have as landlords or tenants.
