What are the move in costs associated with military housing?

My wife and I are moving to San Diego in July, and we're trying to budget our moving expenses. Could anyone please tell me if you have to pay anything when you move in to military housing? I know the rent and utilities all come from your BAH but wasn't sure about things like security deposits, pet fees, etc. Thank you!What are the move in costs associated with military housing?$0, nada, not a thing!What are the move in costs associated with military housing?
I'm guessing this is your first time in military housing? Your BAH covers everything. There are no security deposits, but in lieu of that you have an initial housing inspection when you first move in. Make sure you go through the house and write down every single thing you see wrong with it ( any defects). because when you move out you will have a final inspection and any damages to the house you will have to cover out of pocket. Some housing inspectors are nice and some are really mean, my friend in military housing had to pay for all of the carpet to be replaced in the living room because of one spot she couldn't get out. thankfully i didn't have that experience. and also there are two different types of military housing, one which is still cared for and operated by the military and PPV housing which is still military housing but its been contracted out to the private sector to maintain. personally i had abetter experience in PPV. They were nicer, housing quality was better, lawns are maintained by them except in fenced in areas (backyards) as far as i know i dont think there were pet deposits, but i could be wrong, they will tell you when you get there about that and which animals are allowed. but off course stuff like cable, phone, renters insurance ect....comes out of your pocket.What are the move in costs associated with military housing?I know that my answer is the opposite of what everyone else is saying, but there IS a security deposit (month's rent) that you have to pay when you move into post housing that has been privatized. Posts where the housing is still being maintained by the military service wouldn't be able to charge a security deposit, so it will be determined depending on where you move.
there are some places that no pets are allowed ,and if you have them and that's all they offer you, you will have a problem. thee ARE pet deposits for PPV housing that accepts pets.



Besides.. the waiting list for on base housing can be quite long and depends on your paygrade and bedroom entitlement. you may get there and find that MFH is not an option at all.What are the move in costs associated with military housing?There are no security deposits or pet fees.
