Kreizenbeck - Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses DIGEST: An employee was transferred from Seattle, Washington, to Juneau, Alaska, and after a brief occupancy of a hotel room, he rented and moved into a house on which he had placed an earnest money deposit. The employee may not be reimbursed for temporary quarters subsistence expenses even though he alleges he was forced to rent the house, which was unfinished, because no other lodgings were available, and even though the rental of the house was less costly than rental of a hotel room. The record does not reveal the employee intended to occupy the house on other than a permanent basis and, therefore, the house does not qualify as temporary quarters. ISSUE The issue in this decision concerns an employee's entitlement to temporary quarters subsistence expenses where he rented a house which he subsequently purchased. Although the employee asserts that he was forced to rent the unfinished house because no other lodgings were avail- able, and although rental of the house was less costly than rental of a hotel room for that period, we hold that he is not entitled to reimbursement. The record does not reveal that the employee intended to occupy the house on other than a permanent basis and, therefore, tne house does not qualify as temporary quarters. BACKGROUND This is in response to a request from an authorized certifying officer in Region 10 of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for our decision concerning the entitlement of Mr. Ronald A. Kreizenbeck to temporary quarters subsistence expenses.
