Allows tenants to terminate rental agreements early without penalty if they are victims of certain crimes.
The bill allows a tenant to terminate a rental agreement without penalty if they are victims of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, stalking, elder abuse, or other crimes. The tenant must provide written notice to the landlord and attach documentation such as a protective order or a report from a peace officer. The tenant remains liable for rent for the month of termination and any prorated days. The landlord cannot disclose the tenant's status as a victim or the address of relocation without consent or a court order.
