You're right, the SCRA doesn't specifically address this issue, but isn't it reasonable to assume that the timing of a lease termination due to deployment be related to the timing of the deployment? Otherwise, it doesn't leave the landlord with much protection and allows tenants to abuse the SCRA provisions and move out anytime for reasons as long as they've been informed that they'll be deployed at some point in the future, whether it's in a month or within a year. The idea of the SCRA is to protect them from financial loss due to unforseen circumstances that require them to relocate, not to allow them to break a lease to stay with a friend and "save money", while still being paid the housing allowance. In this case, the tenant will be profiting off the government.
