Brenner - Relocation Expenses - Sale of Mobile Home File: B-227380 Date: November 13, 1987 DIGEST 1. A transferred employee sold a mobile home, which he had used as his residence at his old station, approximately 1 year after his transfer. He seeks reimbursement for the space rental charges during that 1-year period as a lease settlement expense on basis that his effort to sell constituted a bona fide attempt to terminate the lease. His claim is dened. The mobile home space rental was on a month-to-month tenancy and could have been terminated by moving his mobile home any time with 30-days notice. Since he took no action to terminate the lease, he did not incur any lease-breaking expense, and the continuing space rental charges are nonreimbursable. Daniel J. Price, B-210918, March 20, 1984. 2. A transferred employee sold a mobile home which he used as a residence at his old station. He personally financed the sale for a period not to exceed 2 years as an accommodation to the buyer. Because the employee still owed money on the mobile home, he established a collection account (similar to an escrow account) with his lender bank so that the buyer could make monthly payments to this collection account and the bank could apply the funds toward the employee's own mortgage payments. Since there is no showing that such an account was required by law or local practice, it must be regarded as being merely for the convenience of both parties and not directly related to the sale itself. The fee for establishing the collection account may not be reimbursed. Arthur L. Harding, B-211794, September 27, 1983.
