Referral Services
If housing is not available on base you will need to
look for rentals out in town. The housing Services
Office (HSO) is available to assist you in obtaining
suitable housing for you and your family. They provide a
wide range of services to include in-depth briefings on
renting in the community, scheduling appointments to
view rentals, and lease review. The HSO is available at
MCB Hawaii Mon and Fri 0730-1530 and Wed 0730-1400.
For more information, contact the HSO office at:
808-438-3820.

Living Off-Base
Once a lease is signed it is the responsibility of the
service member to provide a copy of the lease to Forest
City and fill out a waitlist statement. An
offer of quarters will be made in accordance with your
desire as indicated on the waiting list statement. You
may change your waiting list statement at anytime.
The Military Clause allows you to terminate the rental
agreement upon giving your landlord written notice 28
days in advance of the anticipated termination when in
receipt of military orders requiring a change of
residence to a location off the island for 60 days or
more (copy of orders must be provided to the landlord).
A Government Housing Clause is negotiable between you
and your landlord. It allows you to terminate your lease
when offered base housing. We recommend this clause be
in writing.
A Security Deposit Utility Waiver form is available at
your CONAD, unit admin section or from the Housing
Services Office.
In the event a service member has a lease and does not
want to be considered for housing on base during the
duration of the lease, he/she will not be contacted
unless housing is available one month prior to the lease
expiration date. Service members are responsible for
providing Forest City with any and all
changes, in writing, to their original lease agreement.
Accordingly, personnel with lease agreements will be by
passed without penalty and still may work their way up
to the top of their respective waiting list.
Lease agreements will only be honored for one year for
housing waiting list purposes. Service members must
provide a copy of the updated lease agreement and
waiting list statement as notification to Forest City that they desire to remain on the
waiting list for housing. Failure to provide Forest City with current lease(s) and waiting list statement
will result in your name being deleted from the waiting
list.
