BOLC after OCS Active timeline

I’ll likely be shipping out for BCT late in the summer and leaving my car and civilian clothes and such behind in storage where I live now (Washington DC).

I’m just trying to plan out if I’ll have time to pick up my car and things (including furniture) for BOLC after OCS, or if I’ll have to wait till my first duty station assignment to figure that out.

I understand that for most BOLCs, people live in long-term hotel rentals or something like that, so I wouldn’t need to get any furniture for that.

If anyone went through that process recently or has any advice, I’d appreciate it!

Active duty/Reserve orders rent concession question

I will hopefully receive active duty or reserve orders as an OCS candidate in June. I’ve read that I’ll be able to break my apartment lease without incurring any penalties and I’ll just be responsible for the next month’s rent. However, a couple of months ago, my landlord asked me to sign a paper stating that I’ll have to repay any concessions (aka first month’s rent that was an incentive to sign the lease) if I break the lease early. Have any of you encountered this issue? Does SCRA still apply in this case?
