This bill establishes the right for tenants who are victims of specific crimes, such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse, stalking, elder abuse, and other violent crimes, to terminate their rental agreements early without incurring penalties or liabilities. To exercise this right, tenants must provide written notification to their landlord, along with documentation that verifies their status as a victim. Acceptable forms of documentation include protective orders, police reports, or statements from licensed health care providers or victim counselors. The notice must also specify the termination date, which must be at least fourteen days after the notification is given.

Additionally, the bill outlines protections for tenants who terminate their rental agreements under these circumstances. They will not be liable for rent or damages incurred after the termination date, nor will they face negative credit or character references due to the termination. Landlords are prohibited from disclosing any information regarding the tenant's victim status without consent, and they cannot discriminate against tenants who have previously exercised their rights under this bill. Importantly, only the leasehold interest of the tenant who provides the required documentation will be terminated, ensuring that other residents of the unit are not affected.
