¿A quién protege esta ley?

This section of the housing law protects a tenant who is a sexual assault victim, which is defined as a victim of any non-consensual sexual contact, obscenity, or voyeurism crime.1 It also protects the family member of the victim if the victim is under 18 years of age, incompetent, or deceased.2 To qualify under this law, the obscenity or voyeurism crime must have taken place in the rented home.3 For a sexual assault that occurred outside the rented home, the victim must explain why staying in the home would pose a danger to him/her.4

A similar law protects tenants who are victims of domestic abuse. Go to Protections for Domestic Abuse Victims for more information.
