January 11, 2024Can my landlord ever terminate my lease or refuse to renew my lease if I am a victim of abuse?
This law does not stop a landlord from terminating your lease, refusing to renew your lease, or evicting you for a valid legal reason. This law keeps a landlord from evicting you because you are a victim of abuse.1 However, your landlord can end your lease or refuse to renew your lease for the reasons explained in Can a landlord refuse to renew my lease or evict me because I am a victim?2
