Housing Service Center 

The HSC is your contact for any problems you may encounter such as discrimination complaints, tenant/landlord disputes, or any questions or problems about off-base housing. The HSC can also provide a list of rentals with corresponding locator maps via www.Homes.mil and provide information regarding the communities in which the homes are located. Ask about availability of homes with the Rental Partnership Program (RPP) if you are planning to rent out in town as well. The RPP is available at several apartment complexes, townhouses, condos, and individual homes. This program provides a discounted rent, no application fees, and reduced security deposit. Credit checks are minimal as applicants are approved based on their EAOS, PRD, and paygrade. Month-to-month/short term rentals may also be available. Pensacola is a very popular tourist area, so advance Navy Lodge/hotel reservations are highly recommended.  

Also unique only to NAS Pensacola, is the Volunteer Realtor Program, which are volunteers from the Pensacola Association of Realtors who are here in our office from 0830 to 1600 (M-F) and provide full access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) database to better help with options that may satisfy your needs. The volunteers assist with rental options and are here to answer questions regarding home-buying as well.

We advise Service Members not to rent without first seeing the property (site unseen). Leases are legally binding, and the Military Clause will not allow you to break the lease if you knew ahead of time you would transfer prior to the expiration of your lease. Make sure the place you are interested in renting is ready for occupancy - not in 2 weeks or 2 months down the road.

All renters should carry renters’ insurance against fire, theft and other damages. The property owner's insurance will cover the property but not the renter’s personal property. Transfer coverage after you arrive.

Average cost of rent out in town is $2,000.00 excluding utilities.

The local Electric Company (Florida Power and Light—FP&L) Does offer up to a $250.00 waver for deposits on electricity. You must go to the Housing Service Center. No other waivers for utility deposits are offered.

For a listing of available rentals in the community, or for information regarding anything Housing-related both on or off Base, contact the Housing Service Center at 850-452-5168.
