Roy Fisais - Lease Termination Expenses I 1. A transferred employee claims expenses incurred in settling an unexpired ;ease on property which included both hil former residence and income-producing farmland. Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) paragraph 2-,6.1 (May 1973) author- izes the agency to reimburse those expensns incurred for settling an unex- pired lease involving the employee's residence. In an analogous situation, where a transferred employee buys or sells a large tract of land, we have held that FTR para, 2-6.1f limits reim- bursement of real estate expenses to those associated with conveyance of the residence and the land which reasonably relates to the residence site, 54 Camp. Gen. 597 (1975). Accordingly, the pro rata reimbursement rule set forth in 54 Comp. Gen. 597 should be applied to the leased land in this case, 2. A transferred employee did not promptly move his family off the leased land, thus failing to mitigate his damages. The lessor exercised his option under the lease, available due to the vaca- tion of the land after the beginning of a new lease year, to require payment of $750 in addition to the $750 minimum liquidation payment. Reimbursement of the $750 holdover fee is not authorized because the employee failed to promptly move his family off the property prior to the beginning of the new lease year. FTR para. 2-6.2h. Reimbursement of the prorated portion of the $750 minimum liquidation payment may be made by the agency if it determines that the employee could not reasonably have been expected to sublease the property.
