What is the law regarding active duty military and relocation without penalty?

What is the law regarding active duty military and relocation without penalty?

Is there the same relief for federal contractors? These employees (contractors) work for military installations and contracts can suddenly be cancelled (based on the needs of the military) and the federal contractor has to move to a new location (their company requires it.) Do they have any recourse for not losing their deposit? Also, the landlord charged the maximum security deposit allowed by statute then charged an additional “cleaning fee deposit” on top of that. I cannot find where that is allowed by statute and appears to be in violation of the Tenant Security Deposit Act.
