About Base Housing
Privatized Housing - At Altus Air Force Base, military family housing is privatized. Balfour Beatty Communities owns the family housing and is responsible for maintaining, repairing, constructing and managing the community. In addition to your option to purchase and rent housing in the local community, you now may choose to live in privatized housing by signing a tenant lease agreement with Balfour Beatty Communities.
For comprehensive information about the privatized housing community at Altus Air Force Base, visit the Balfour Beatty Communities website. The website provides information you need to know about the homes and amenities available in the privatized housing community.
Applying for Privatized Housing - Contact the HMO as soon as you know you are moving to Altus Air Force Base. The government housing team will provide you the latest information about privatized housing and details about the application process. The HMO will also update you on any base specific policies regarding residing in privatized housing.
Paying Rent for Privatized Housing - Similar to living in the local community, you will sign a tenant lease agreement, typically for a one-year term. Your lease includes a military clause and a lease termination clause. You pay your monthly rent by authorizing an allotment of your BAH that is paid directly to the Property Manager. If your move occurs prior to the allotment start date, then you will need to pay the pro-rated rent directly to the Property Manager. The Tenant Lease Agreement spells out all relevant rent payment terms and conditions.
Gas and Electric Utilities - At this location, homes in the community are not metered and your rent will include these utility costs, up to your full BAH amount. For more information about your utilities, please contact the Property Management Office.
Personal Property Insurance - The Property Manager will provide personal property and liability insurance for every home upon application of the resident. Residents should augment the insurance provided by the Property Manager to ensure that adequate coverage is provided for all personal property.
