MATTER OF: Lewis R. Perry - Settlement of unexpired lease


DIGEST:        1.  Where employee has received less than
                   30 days notice of transfer to new
                   permanent duty station but has failed to
                   furnish a copy of lease reimbursement
                   may not be made for lease breaking
                   expenses since proper documentation
                   is absent.  FTR Para, 2-6.2h (May 1973).

               2.  Where employee failed to obtain copy of
                   lease during tenancy in apartment and
                   after leaving apartment is offered signed
                   copy of lease for equivalent of 1 month's
                   rent, government will not reimburse
                   expense of obtaining signed copy since
                   this is not normal lease-breaking expense
                   and reasonable man would have obtained
                   copy previously.

               3.  Unsigned copy of garage lease is not
                   sufficient documentation to support
                   expense of lease-breaking and may not
                   be considered as evidence of terms of
                   lease for apartment wbich was broken
                   at same time.  FTR para. 2-6.2h (May
                   1973).

               4.  Expenses incurred incident to breaking
                   of lease on garage may not be reimbursed
                   since para. 2-6.2h of FTR applies only to
                   breaking of lease on residence quarters
                   occupied byeemployee and his family at
                   time of transfer and does not extend to a
                   separate lease on garage for garaging an
                   employee's automobile. CE 47 Comp. Gen.
                   189 (1967); B-178343, December 26, 1973.
