An on-site maintenance team is available around the clock to resolve problems. Military personnel can opt to live in privatized housing by signing a tenant lease with Lackland Family Homes, though they may also rent or purchase housing in the local community.
The Lackland Family Homes community is comparable to housing off base but offers many amenities and support services, such as the award-winning LifeWorks program that provides residents of all ages with free, fun and educational events and activities. There are no application or deposit fees, and most utilities are included.
Community features include tot lots, playgrounds, a resort-style pool, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, parks and green spaces, illuminated jogging trails, covered pavilions with barbecue grills and a community center.
Those who choose to live in the community will sign a tenant lease agreement, typically for a one-year term, that includes a military clause and a lease termination clause. You pay your monthly rent by authorizing an allotment of your BAH to be paid directly to the Community Management Office. If you move before the allotment start date, you will pay a prorated amount directly to the office. The tenant lease agreement will spell out the rent payment terms and conditions.
