(NGIS). Service members, regardless of marital status, must ensure they receive either an endorsement of their orders or a Certificate of Non-Availability (CNA) from NGIS. The endorsement or CNA, along with lodging receipts, must be submitted to PSD for reimbursement of Temporary Lodging Expenses (TLE) on your travel claim. Failure to provide these documents may hinder your entitlement to reimbursement. If you have any questions, please contact NGIS.

Specific requirements should be addressed with the privatized partner. Generators are not part of the standard equipment offered by privatized housing.

Single Service Member Housing: Bachelor housing in New London only houses single E1-E4 permanent-party residents. Berthing for geographic bachelors is minimal. Newly reporting geographic bachelors may be afforded transient berthing for 30 days at Navy Gateway Inns and Suites, Naval Submarine Base. This is on a space-available basis. The staff at the housing office will also assist geographic bachelors in the process of finding community housing. They have information on available rental apartments and can assist with lease screening and networking with local landlords and real estate agents.

Exceptions to this policy will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

It is standard practice for landlords and property managers to conduct credit history checks on potential tenants. Negative findings may limit your rental options and complicate the rental process. If you are experiencing credit issues, the Fleet and Family Support Center staff can assist you in beginning the lengthy credit repair process.

The HSC is your point of contact for any problems you may encounter, such as discrimination complaints, tenant/landlord disputes, or any questions related to living in the community. All renters should maintain renter’s insurance to protect against fire, theft, and other damages. Utilize the resources available to you before deciding to sign a lease.

Leases: We highly recommend that you bring your lease to the HSC or Base Legal for review before signing. A lease is a legal contract between you and your landlord. A written lease serves as your protection against misunderstandings regarding rights, responsibilities, and agreements concerning the property you are renting. It is essential to include all the conditions you desire in the lease to prevent any misunderstandings that could prove costly.

Renters Insurance: If you had to replace all your personal belongings due to fire, flood, or other causes, could you afford to do so? Your landlord's insurance does not cover your personal property. It is just as important for a renter to have insurance as it is for a homeowner. Renter's insurance is reasonably priced, and your insurance representative can assist you in finding the best coverage for your needs.

Liability Insurance: A renter's insurance policy may not protect you if you accidentally damage the house, apartment, or condominium you reside in, or if you face a lawsuit resulting from negligence within your home. All renters are encouraged to seriously consider obtaining a supplemental general liability policy. An accident resulting in fire or flood damage could become a financial burden for the rest of your life. A general liability policy is affordable and well worth the investment.

Rental Options: The Rental Partnership Program at Naval Submarine Base New London is active and designed to provide active-duty military personnel with off-base housing at a reduced rate. Under this program, application fees and credit check fees are waived. The service member may be required to pay a security deposit equal to one month's rent, contingent upon the outcome of the resident's selection criteria review. The landlord may deny rent to an RPP applicant based on prior negative rental history. The program necessitates that applicants meet income requirements and that the military tenant agrees to keep their rent from becoming delinquent. The landlord may require renter's and liability insurance for military RPP applicants. Units offered through the RPP are evaluated and qualified to meet high standards. For more information about this program, call the HSC at 860-694-3851 or DSN 694-3851 and ask for the RPP referral specialist.

Mobile Homes: There are no mobile home parks on the installation, but several community mobile home parks are available in the Groton-New London area.
