More protections under the SCRA
The MLA only applies to lending. But the Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA) covers other areas of a military member’s finances, including rental agreements, security deposits, prepaid rent, evictions, installment contracts for loans, credit card interest rates, mortgage interest rates, mortgage foreclosures, auto leases, life insurance, health insurance and income tax payments.
There is also a 6% interest rate cap on loans or other financial obligations you agreed to before entering military service.
