Your monthly rent paid by an allotment is all it takes to live in luxury with us! Of course, as is typical, if you lose your room key, or damage your apartment, we will charge you for it, but in such cases you will be notified of the cost ahead of time.

No, not by the Navy, and not by your landlord without notice. As a resident with a residential lease governed by the State of California, you’re afforded every protection under California tenant-landlord law. One of protections afforded you under law is that your landlord, absent a building-threatening circumstance, like a fire or a flood, may not enter your suite without 24-hour written notice to you. In most cases the landlord will only request access to your apartment to provide requested or preventative maintenance.
