Victim Protection in Rental Housing

Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking may terminate their rental agreements. In order to terminate a rental agreement, the tenant must:
  a) be a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking (or have a household member who is a victim of the above crimes);
  b) have a valid order for protection or have reported the violence to a qualified third party (e.g. police), and that third party has provided the victim with a written, signed record of the report; and
  c) the request to terminate must be made within 90 days of the violent incident.
